**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[almostgone]

I’m with you, get the MRI by all means and find out the status of the cuff. But, getting one now? Good luck and congrats if you can get in. If you were out here, I very much doubt you’d be getting any therapy as well.

Don’t judge them too hard, they’re / we’re a touchy bunch at times. I left the profession because of the complaints, negativity and attitudes that you get non-stop, every day. It’s part of the job, but sometimes gets to be too much. Lol, you should have seen their faces when I told them the doctor wanted me to get chest x-rays right AFTER they tested me for Covid-19. I personally thought the doctor made an error and he did. I’ve never been looked at with hatred that way before, but it was justified.

Nah, I know they under massive stress and probably have 3 doing the work of 5 people. I didn't get hostile with them, I just stared a hole through the one that was snarky and told the other ladies to be safe and have a nice day.

They're still allowing PT here, but no massage therapy (medical). I think they shut down one tattoo and piercing parlor here for not complying with the list of businesses to shut down.

I did hit the store for a few things recently and they were only allowing "X" number of people based on square footage of the store and had directional arrows taped off on the floor to keep traffic flowing but maintain social distancing. All it took to disrupt the whole process was a morbidly obese mid-20s to early-30s guy buying beer and ice cream. I honestly wanted to flip him and the scooter he was riding over. Idiot was going against the traffic flow, cutting people off..... basically being a selfish a-hole. About the only reason I didn't change his attitude is when you have that kind of environment, a small skirmish can turn into a huge melee and it's not like it was a hostile environment....it just irks me.

So you have one of those looks / glares as well? I just have to watch it, sometimes I break mine out unintentionally & things go not so smoothly.

I want more ink so badly, but it really is flat out dumb right now.

Hey, since when is beer & ice cream not a necessity? Kudos to you for not taking action.

Gawd, my folks want to talk on the phone this afternoon. Looks like happy hour starts extra early.

It seems so. I really wasn't aware of it until I met my wife's family for the first time?

[GirlyGymRat]

And appreciated.

Hahahahaha.

[GirlyGymRat]

Afternoon fellas/Girly, daily cardio done. Hope everyone is doing good.

Dr told me to stop cardio and lift!

[clarky.]

Morning fellas/Girly, no cardio done yet lol, later. Hope yous are all well. Hey AG some bigger shops over here have taped arrows on the floor too and tapped lines two meters apart near tills/checkouts Only one person at a time in smaller shops.

You always get a big greedy bastard thinking they can do as they please, either that they are just focused on getting there shitty food the cunts. Don't think i could have shut ma mouth there lol i would have said something cheeky hahaha.

And you know as soon as he gets to the door on the scooter the lazy ass will hop off and easily waddle to his car parked in the handicap zone.

Ah, so you've seen this guy out in public, too.

Hope you all had good Mondays! Back and traps today. Darn, I was going to take a walk, but it got cloudy & said f-it.

Wish you all well!

been perfecting my RBF...so much easier with mask or bandanna

[kelkel]

I'm not "woke" enough to know what an RBF is?

Needs more scowl. That's a resting babydoll face! .
I guess it would be easier with the mask. You could throw in the Darth Vader or Bane voice....that would set it off.

Well, doing good in this temporary country. They seem to have taken a completely different approach than the rest of the world. Numbers seem to indicate it is working but who knows until it is over. At least everything is open and all things are recommendations and not mandatory stay at home. People seem to follow it. I found the most fantastic gym I have ever seen. Going to grab some pictures when I get a chance. It is quite remarkable.

I was about to order my first batch of AAS and it is expensive AF if you are used to India prices :-) About 2-3 times the cost. Insane. At least I know what all you are going through. Got a script from the local doctor here for Test-E so that part is done and he is looking at giving me GH but said it is VERY unusual to script that but he will try. Guess I got to run a blood test next week, that should look interesting on 250mg test-e/wk, 500mg tren/wk, 700mg mast/wk. That test will probably tell him I am dying or something, lol....

I hope you guys are all staying safe. It should all be our main concern these days.

Chest and bi's yesterday:

Working sets:

Smith incline press: 3 sets 6-10 reps with drop on last
Incline flies: 3 sets, moderate weight, 12-15ish reps
Dumbell flats: 3 sets probably 10-12 slower reps

Preacher curls: 3 sets 8-12 reps
EZ bar curls: 3 sets 10-12 controlled reps.
Dumbell over bench preacher curl: 3 sets 10 reps or so.

Feels good to be able to do standing type curls again. Took a long time post infraspinatus tear to be able to do standing/cable or dumbell curls. Everything had to be supported to avoid irritation. Anyway, good workout. Legs on the agenda in an hour or so.

Funny how that works isn’t it? I had to wait till everything just completely tore off before I could do unsupported as well. I’m just glad to be done with the pain, it just gets tiresome.

Arms and Delts a little later.

G-morning all.

[Proximal]

Just biceps and delts. All drop sets and supersets at a range of 12-20 and failure. Decent workouts actually. The mirror is improving slightly, might add on to test only. Food is more readily available & not an issue, maybe time to proceed.

[kelkel]

Good leg day yesterday:

5 minutes stationary bike
Seated hamstring curls: 3 sets 12 ish reps all with pause at full contraction
Squats: Two relatively heavy 10-12 reps. Rarely ever start with squats for quads. Definitly took a while for knees to warm up.
Vertical press: 3 sets 15 reps
Dumbell Sumo squats: 2 sets 15 reps
Calf's on vertical press (cause the weight was already there and I'm lazy): 4 sets 15 ish reps

Solid day. Feeling it today.

Edit to add that i can feel the effects of the Zilretta shots starting to fade. Dammit. But it did last longer than I expected considering what i put it through.

[Proximal]

Chest:
Chest press
Decline press
Front flies
Decline flies

Triceps:
Rope pressdowns
Rope overhead tricep extensions
Skull-crushers

4 sets 15-20 each to failure with a few drop sets mixed in.

Wood choppers: love them for core: 2x20.

Gradually ramping up the calories. We finally got egg-whites this week !

[clarky.]

Morning fellas/Girly, three cardio session yesterday my wee poor legs hahaha, cardio done but will be at it again later.

What are wood choppers?

[clarky.]

What are wood choppers?

It's like the position of holding a axe chopping a tree, arms together straight or slight bend, say up over your right shoulder down across your body to your left foot. Very good with cables.

[clarky.]

2nd cardio session done..

[almostgone]

It was inevitable. Therapy deferred until June 1. I'll continue on my own.
Getting ready to call the radiology clinic and see if I'm welcome there.

[almostgone]

I do have a couple of tricks left up my sleeve, but I'm saving those for later.

[Proximal]

What are wood choppers?

Exactly like Clarky said. I kind of like to start with more rotation, with my torso twisted & extended up towards the top of the cable and end a little more flexed. Just my preference. I get a nice stretch out it too.

Geez. Did they at least provide you with what rehab movements they want you to do?

[kelkel]

2nd cardio session done..

I've been riding my stationary bike after upper body workouts myself lately. Doesn't feel bad. Hope I can stick with it but it's definitly one area I fail miserably in...


ps: Filled a new Var script today.
Really really really like my doctor.

[almostgone]

Geez. Did they at least provide you with what rehab movements they want you to do?

Yes sir. They offered virtual rehab sessions, but with the Internet signal out here, it would be pointless. I am still sticking with the kitchen sink approach. Just got another sink in the mail today.

This is going to put the NCV study out to a later date as well, which definitely blows.j

But you know what rehab movements you need to do, right?

[kelkel]

Shoulders and Tri's coming up as soon as I finish some coffee and I can wake the sleeping/farting dog on my lap. Not to mention drooling...

[almostgone]

Yes sir, I've got the movements and descriptions. They gave me some different tension Therabands and a log to record reps, band used, etc.

I'll just have to fly solo for a while. Sure am going to miss cutting up with the ladies that work there.

I always blame the farting and drooling on the dog, too.

DOMS really kicked in today. Fine, my wife wanted her car washed, hey that’s a nice lightweight workout & the weather rocks today.

First off, my lame cargo shorts that I wear in the summer occasionally? A 3 inch gap between the button and that thing it goes into - WTF?!? How’d that happen?

Fine, gym shorts.

Then, bending over to clean the crap inside the rims - hello lower back. Then, I swear to God, I’m still sweating like a pig 2 hours after I’m done?!?

Tonight, Advil and a salad. Tomorrow I start walking more.
