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

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

for those following along and wondering wtf is going on? i am hurt lol, not crippled hurt but it is a little worse than i thought. i am taking the week off to let it heal up completely. i am seeing the chiro tomorrow to get adjusted and tracked again. my hip is off line on one side again but i can stand up all the way. so again i know it is nowhere near as bad as last time but i am going to let it come back down so i am 100% coning off this next deload. i am more uncomfortable than anything and very very very pissed off that it happened. i am also foam rolling and stretching it since i did it. cool thing is it isnt that bad when i am warm but damn if it dont suck getting up and moving and standing for longer than a few minutes. i guess it happened at the best time cause i was finishing up wk 12 and getting ready to go into deload and off time anyway. diet and such will stay the same this week with no changes. my joints needed a little rest anyway

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

yesterday:

legs
10 min treadmill warmup
roller work
one leg leg curls 30x10 40x10 50x10 60x10/4
sm squats 135x6 225x6 275x6 315x6x6x6 315x4 and ouch had a butt wink and hurt my damn lower back. no more squatting on the fucking smith machine that isnt vertical. i know better and did it again
leg press 7pps x20 8pps x20 9pps x20
sissy squats x25 x19 x18 (protecting knees still)
stiff leg on hacks 90x10 180x10 180x10

done for the day. yep jacked up my lower back again. i dont think it is as bad as i have in the past but it is def pissed off. i can stand up straight and put weight on my leg. no electricity shooting like i have done a few times in the past so it isnt to the point where i have to go to the doc or chiro but i am damn sure not happy with the mistake and loss of form that led up to it. good thing this is the end of my 12 wks of training. i may be taking a full week off at the end and doing 7 straight days of nothing but cardio abs and calves to give all my joints and stuff some rest and recovery time. that is as long as my arm will let me do that without trying to kill me. i will be playing that and my back by ear as i go. so freaking disappointing on one hand but it happens on the other. i know better than to squat on those damn angled smith machines, i know better. doughnuts make everything better so i had three yesterday.

done for the day. well pretty good workout but i will say it suffered from yesterday. i am not injured or hurt but i damn sure could feel a difference in my legs from those deads. my left leg actually tightened up pretty bad around my last couple of sets of presses. border line nasty cramp situation on that one. def not a good idea to hammer deads and then do a secondary leg day the day after for sure. back is good to go though just a little bit stiff and sore.

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

I love the sour kraut. We have the same taste... :-)

going to be adding in some fresh home made beet root and juice here today or tomorrow into my lineup. i am learning that veges that are good for the heart and digestion translate into new gains. not to mention they taste pretty good and are filling as well

done for the day. great freaking workout today. moved some pretty heavy weight and everything actually feels good other than me being dead now haha. something i noted that i have noticed in the past is i have a hell of time with my hips, groin/ham tie ins getting loose and warm when squatting. they are tighter than a banjo string on the first 2-4 sets every time i squat but open up and get loose as i progress. my need to be adding in a little mobility work on these areas just to keep them healthy. if you are following along and want a serious kick in the nuts try both the pause squats and dead stop seated leg curls. the leg curls you do your rep with a good 1-2 squeeze in the contraction and then lower it all the way down and let the plates stop completely on the stack. so it is literally a dead stop on each and every rep. the pause squat you just go all the way down into the hole stop and hold for 3 sec and then explode up. really have to work your breathing on these or you will def pass out.

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

today:

back(secondary)
10 min treadmill warmup
pronated one arm low cable rows 25x12 40x12 55x12 70x12 80x12 100x12 100x12
banded slide the rack pulls 135x3 225x3 315x3 315x6/4 (moved up another band on these. it was stupid heavy, i would say over 500 at the top tension wise)
ng assist pulls x8/4
db pullovers 55x12 60x12 65x12 65x12 (still babying my shoulder for safety)
15 min intervals 2-1. went way to fast on the sprints today at level 12. made it but thought i was going to die.

done for the day. so i had a little mishap yesterday evening checking to make sure my garage was secure before bed. long story short, i steeped onto the stairs missed the top one with my one foot and did a super man ninja leap onto my treadmill landing on one leg. got a little bit of a cramp sensation on the outside bottom of my quad but no popping and no real pain but still freaked me out a bit. no bruising at all today and i did cardio on it. it is sore now but so is the rest of my leg and everything else. so fingers crossed it isnt injured or tweaked. i am lucky i didnt hurt anything or go straight down cause i would be really messed up if i would have. i have cat like reflexes haha.
quick note on today's session. i trained with a large tropper buddy of mine, very large. so we went a bit heavier and faster than i had originally planeed. i need to pull back a smidge on my secondary days i think. that may be why my sleep and tingling is getting so bad. got to figure it out by easing up and eliminating things one at a time. those rack pulls with bands were absolutely stupid freaking heavy with the thick heavy bands. damn is all i can say
