done for the day. great session today. pump was almost as stupid as legs yesterday and the pace and rest were super fast. i think i am going to seriously push the pace from now on on these secondary days and drive max blood in. we will see what happens but man i think it sucks worse than heavy weight does. i am def not huffing and puffing at all which is a good sign that the additional cardio is doing what i am going for.

done for the day. great session today, moved with a quick pace but got some really great weight up. the chins sucked ass since they are very very hard for me to perform regardless of using the assist machine or not. i can still get a damn good contraction on them it is just hard to do for more than 6-10 reps. i am very happy with the workout and my wind is really really good for the duration of my sessions lately. so we are making some damn good progress across the board. calves are still a little tender, not sore but tight, so i left them alone again today. i am ready to get down to the nitty gritty and get these preps under way to see just how much i have added on and honed this year.

done for the day. shoulder and elbows were very angry at me today. if i were a betting man i would say i pushed a smidge to hard on the contractions with the bands today. when you use speed and drive hard to lockout it seems like it aggervates my elbows and shoulder quite a bit. still got to get it done, i need to work on getting my groove a little better and stopping my lockout a little bit shorter at the top. i am actually a little bit sore today, so the weekend even after the christmas binge was very productive.

done for the day. a little lower back pump today but not to bad. the knee is a little bit angry but no where near what it was last week, i actually didnt wrap it for the duration of training today, so that is a very good thing. i ate way way to much yesterday and i dont think i need any sugar at all for a bit. i got bloated gassy and felt like absolutely garbage last night but man was it good and worth it haha. i would say it transfered over to the pump and great session i had today though

done for the day. that was another kick in the nuts great session today. i did aggervate my knee a smidge on those leg press, no popping or injury type of deal. it just wasnt liking that amount of weight for that high of reps. my legs handled it really really well though. i am betting if i would have got some leg curls in prior it would have been all good. ice and flossing and i will be brand new by tuesday haha. i am happy with the poundage moved and the pump today and i feel freaking great. the graston session went pretty good, but hurt just as bad. she couldnt get my damn trap rhomboid area to open up and cooperate at all yesterday but everything else went better and deeper. she said you can only do so much without causing damage and trama so she went and did the best should good during the session. she said it should open up better next time. she says my back is getting better faster than she has ever seen. so we may be switching areas sooner than what i was figuring. she even worked my delts and triceps down to the elbow yesterday. that hurt really good too haha

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

it's eccentricless cardio. i would say it would be close to rowing but you move when you pull the sled to you with your back and arm muscle. cool thing about this kind of additional training is you get your cardio in and pump the muscle but dont hammer your cns with the eccentric phase of the movement. you literally pull the sled to you and then walk a few steps back and pull it to you again. really cool move and unlike the rower it doesnt make my hips tighten up and hurt. we do this with a band to pull also and not a rope, so it makes it even harder

Might try this with my mother-in-law after the holidays. If I strap a band around her and drag her through the yard I should get a hell of a workout.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

What is a sled drag? I take it you are pulling something!

the second move this kid does is a reverse sled drag so instead of pulling it with your legs, you literally row it to you, then when it gets to you, you walk back and continue until you reach your distance. turn around and do it again
