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

you are seeing feeder sets haha. trying to get to the top end weight and cut volume down just a tad bit right now

I've been getting some bodywork and Accupuncture from new guy, he makes me scream a little lol. He says that's an old injury, he's right and he is breaking it down and opening my shoulders up. Feels good but I picked up the 55 DB's thinking warm up set and stayed at that weight they felt so heavy.

yeah if it doesnt feel right then i will stay put where i am at or even drop the weight back down. you are like i am with many years of training and age. so every little thing sets you back big time and takes forever to recover. smart safe training is the key now to maintaining some longevity.

i see a lady that actually works on the olympic team. she actually just got back from the winter games and i finally get to go back in and see her next week. busting up all that scar tissue and getting everything moving smoothly is awesome. actually i can see a difference in how i look when i have it done as opposed to not getting worked on. seperation and detail is much better

stretch pushups x27 x21
reverse pec deck fly 75x30/3
incline db y lats 15x12/3

done for the day. nice freaking day in the books today. super strong with a great pump. moved up in weight on all my movements and it still held up good. the 120s felt a little off but they usually do because they are so freaking long and hard to balance. no issues again with the ham today and i figured a combo of picking dbs up sitting down kicking them up and then putting them back would be bad. it absolutely wasnt at all. so it is healing super quick and i will lean more towards a really bad pull or strain. back is also pretty sore today but feels really good.
got a ct scan setup to map out my heart and arteries on monday, so i have to take beta blockers on sunday and on monday morning before the test. so that should be interesting. still having a bit of concern over covid damaging my cardio system since my heart rate isnt improving and i get chest pain and shortness of breath. last time i had issues due to my stomach it was just really bad chest pain. cardio doc says i am good but we are running these test to make sure. got a echo next month also. good to go into prep knowing all is good with everyone having heart issues and dropping.

done for the day. well i got legs done. a bit aggervated about the session but i did get ironed out what i can and cant do. i guess most likely what i will be doing over the next few weeks is chase the pump with as much caution as possible. may try some different movements to see what i can push and what i cant. still got an ok session in and a really good pump in the quads. not really happy with it but it is what it is.

done for the day. had my heart ct scans done this am. so i took a beta blocker 2x on sunday and 1 an hour before the scans. my resting heart rate over night was 40. my heart rate during training until right before i got done stayed in the 80s. i think it wore off because i finally started getting into the 100s near the end. i figured because of that the pump and training would be pretty much a wash but it wasnt. got a damn good session in. felt strong and got a hell of a good pump going. getting better across the board so i am happy so far. made some supp changes this week and post workout carbs went down a little bit. pulled a lot of cals out of my non training days too.

done for the day. db incline angle changed this week away from the normal low incline to a normal incline height. whole hell of a lot harder but i was actually stronger than i figured i would be. i was supposed to fail at 8 and ended up getting 14. way to light but a win is a win. another good strong day and really good pump. i am backing off my arms just a tad bit because my carpal tunnel is waking me up and keeping me from sleeping worth a damn. i already have sleeping issues but this is brutal. i sleep half the time in bed and then back and forth to my recliner. once the pain goes away sleeping in the recliner i go back to the bed haha. good day in the books and the intervals beat my ass.

done for the day. not a bad session at all and iwas actually able to get pretty heavy on the revese hacks with no ham issues. the cluster set on regular hacks was way to light so i def left some on the table on that one. did attempt to try some split squats and even with n weight it was a no go. so i will keep on babying it for a bit longer. i tested it out on the leg curls with no prob but i went really light. all in all a good session though.

done for the day. swapped around training and off days this week because the mrs wanted to do legs with me. so yesterday was a little bit of delts and cardio. wasnt feeling all that strong at all today and stomach was upset as all hell. when i was squatting it was rolling. so maybe that is what caused the drop in strength. idk still got a pretty good pump and an ok session. not to awful of a day other than feeling bad. a little beat up today but i am adjusting to the increase in cardio and a small drop in cals.

done for the day. surprisingly super strong today esp considering i really dont do a lot of flat db or bb pressing at all. so pretty much strength was excellent and pump was insane. joints felt pretty good also. cts is not to bad but i can feel it a little bit when moving into pressing stuff. i am pretty sure it is the pump pressing on the nerves. not that it is making it any better or worse but i can def feel it. all in all a good session. didnt go in early for cardio today so i hit it post workout which is an extra kick in the nuts.

done for the day. still babying the legs just a little bit to be safe. no issues with the ham while i was doing the ham work but i also didnt push them either. it did start to get a little tight when doing the leg presses even though i went low and close on the platform to take them out as much as possible. hips were a little tight and beat up from my trip yesterday so everything didnt feel great. still was pretty strong and got a nasty pump going. like i said i am holding back on the gas just to make sure it is fully healed before getting silly again. did have labs read during my doc visit. he wasnt concerned with any of my numbers. they werent bad but not great either. cbc came down quite a bit but hdl got tanked. no clue why since i have been hammering the shit out of interval cardio. i guess the deconditioning with cardio did a number since thats the only thing i can think of that would cause it. not using any compounds right now that tank them. ast was also super high which was also weird. other than training noting else should have had an effect on them. other than that everything else was spot on.

done for the day. the mrs went in for early morning training session so i got my cardio in first thing am fasted. not a part of the plan right now but when she does go in on her training days i try to go ahead and knock it out. to my surprise it was actually not as bad as it has been for the last few months breathing and heart rate wise. so that was a plus. i also got some new shoes to test out from a buddy of mine called hooka or hoka brand. he is on his feet all day and does a ton of cardio and swears by them. cant comment on them yet until i start daily steady state, that is the true test of how they will do for me.
training today was pretty good. got a good pump going and strength wasnt to bad at all. i tried to stay as close to the programming and weight selections as possible and really crank on the contractions. so in that sense it was successful. the bb hypers hammer the piss out of my low back for sure. i was uncomfortable as all hell driving home and they are going to be sore as all hell this week. all in all a good session.
