TweetLooks like some good volume brother. It’s almost as if the back and hips let you get through the session then they make you pay for it.
It might time for us to take up CrossFit?

done for the day. so had a cardiologist appt that i didnt know about until last night. so with the time of the appt i had no time to do am cardio and recover before training. so i made the call to push cardio till sat. also have an appt for upper gi scope on weds and will have to take a full day off so i will be doing cardio on to replace that one as well. sucks but only way to balance it out.
got a damn good pump going today and strength was really good. still not as strong as my training partner but it is climbing nicely and no elbow pain at all. think the tricep ball has ironed itself out also with the therapy work my lady has been doing. so we are getting better on some fronts. legs are smoked sore and hip is not as bad but lower back is crooked as all hell from the muscle pulling it off line. 3x a day of rumble rolling and 90/90 stretching to speed up that process. i am hoping to be back at it 100% or as close before the start of the month.

done for the day. rumble rolling and stretching before cardio first thing in the am and then stretching post cardio and hitting the rumble in the evening again. so it has helped out a bit. still hurts but no where near as bad, so hopefully i am turning the corner on this crap. pretty good strong mainly fluff session today. lots of focus on lower lats. got a great pump and was actually surprised at how well strength held up. so all and all a good session. got a little bit of a gut issue going on today but i am pretty sure its to much of the spicy stubbs seasoning i used on my protein. i know if i eat to much of it over 2 days it hammers me pretty good and i am pretty sure i did a day and a half worth. so paying the price all day. good day in the books.

done for the day. went in solo today since i didnt hear from my partner. so a little different approach to training with quick straight sets. pretty strong on the decline work but had to pull up short because i was afraid i would either slide off the back of the bench or not be able to get back up with db extended. so i went as heavy as i could with 3sec hard contractions up to failure. so still surprisingly strong considering. got an unreal pump going as well but elbows did get a tad little bit beat up. i think i was locking them out and not catching it early on so that's where the irritation was coming from. all in all a good session. back and hip were pissed as all hell when i got up this am also. so still hitting the rumble and other things. had upper gi done also and from what he says i have severe acid reflux and indigestion issues going on and most likely that's where the nasty chest pain is coming from. funny thing is i really dont get nasty heart burn like i did years ago where i couldnt sleep flat to save my life. no clue on that one. i do have one more cardiac test to be done with a ct scan with contrast that does 3d imaging of the heart and coronary arteries just to rule out that nothing is hiding in there. other than being cathed and them going into my actual heart that is the last cardio test left to do. cool thing i guess about that is the doc said that i was at little to no risk of stroke or cardiac event but just to be 100% sure. last 8 months i have been like a guinea pig with all this testing haha.

leg extensions 55x20 70x20 85x20 100x20 115x20 130x20 cs145x12csx5csx5csx3 (all reps 3sec contraction and should have went heavier)

belt squat 90x10 180x10 270x10 360x10 450x10
leg press 360x30 450x20 540x10

done for the day. turkey day leg day. started off excellent and got a damn good pace going and then bam had to wait for like 15 mins on the adductor while some dick head played with himself on his phone doing a half ass pathetic set every 5 mins. started to call him out and figured getting locked up on thanksgiving would have pissed the mrs off big time since it was her first day off in over 2 weeks. so i waited while losing my pump. still a good strong session and had a great pump lost it and then got it back. back and hip going in were still pretty fired up but they warmed up good and actually stayed pretty good all day. i did stretch the piss out of them post training. so a pretty damn good day. ate way to much food yesterday but probably not as much as i do on a daily basis just much higher in cals.

turkey day lineup

sausage links and patties brown sugar and hickory
couple pieces of bacon
sausage gravy
4 or 5 buttermilk biscuits
enough ham to kill a horse
mashed yellow potatoes
stuffing
hashbrown casserole
sweet potato casserole (lots and lots)
rolls
cranberry sauce
pecan and pumpkin pie w/ egg nog ice cream

that was it for the day. actually surprisingly no gut issues at all today. we shall see how the week pans out with that one though haha

done for the day. a little reverse action today with post training cardio instead of fasted. a tad bit crowded going in but not bad, only had to wait once. the added sugar and carbs from thanksgiving made the pump 10x worse than normal. so even without blood work i would say that i am not creeping into insulin resistance just yet. may crank up the berberine up another 500mg just to prolong the help as long as possible. elbows a tad bit banged up but not terrible at all, they are good enough not to be wearing a sleeve right now. so i would say i am running pretty healthy other than the back. good training week in the books.

Maybe deadly, but in general, everything is individual. Much depends on the level of training at the time of such training. Perhaps for some, this is a normal and feasible load. We have guys in our gym who are pressing huge weights. I don't do that, I don't set such a goal for myself. To each his own.

deadly wtf are you talking about? that is under 4k cals a day and all my health markers are beyond perfect, not to mention my bp runs around 118 over the upper 60s to mid 70s. i do have some gastro issues from a disease i contracted in iraq decades ago but i work around it. if you dont set such a goal for yourself or have anything constructive to say then stay out of my log please

done for the day. did one of my weekly cardio sessions for the week yesterday and hit intervals. going to do 2 interval session and 2 fast paced steady state sessions. so that's the plan. well i went in all motivated and ready to do work and bam packed to the gills during off hours which pissed me off and ruined my plan big time. so i changed it up and got after it. actually had a good strong session and felt pretty damn good even though it pissed me off royally. other than elbows being very angry today everything else fired and felt great. i will say an all in all good day.

done for the day. really good session in today. got in and did fasted cardio this am with my second steady state session. so recovery wasnt bad at all for training today. strength was up really good and pump was nasty. pretty nice that it is up considering i swapped out the majority of my movements. elbows are a tad bit dinged up still but not hindering at all. got worked on today and hopefully everything is broken up and moving like it is supposed to now. all in all an excellent session.

yeah ng= neutral grip pg= pronated grip. changed up the movements because training partner was mia and i went solo to my normal gym not to mention it was slam housed packed. so not the movements i had programmed but after waiting almost a half an hour while some fat ass marine video his face on the machine i was waiting on, i gave up and went on the fly with somewhat similar movements. i can call him a fat marine because i am a retired marine. that and the new generation of marine's and their attitudes appearance and discipline drive me bat shit crazy. i leave them be and just curse them as a civilian because i am not that guy since i retired now. if i was still in a leadership position they would have locked me up and kicked me out about 3 years ago. these dudes blow my evermore mind. dont even get me started on the females and their pt attire either. they wouldnt make it two steps into the facility before someone ripped their faces off and embarrassed the fuck out of them. i will say some are smoking but damn you still have to maintain the standards. sorry for the rant haha will be training with my normal partner today in his facility though
