done for the day. felt like absolute dog shit today and probably shouldnt have been training at all. sinuses are all jacked up along with a brutal nasty head ache. every set i could feel my heart pounding in my head and could barely breath. got light headed on more than one occasion but still got it done. still got a pretty damn good pump going and moved some damn good weight with the focus being on the negatives. knees and back held up really well but idk if they were hurting and my head was distracting me from the fact but either way i will kind of take it. i did finish up and intended on hitting the stairs for cardio. put my shoes on and my head was screaming, so i sat there for about 5mins and said screw it, it is most likely going to be counter productive to try to push through it. so i cut my losses and shut it down for the day. hopefully i am not getting the flu or the dreaded c word again. seems like since the kids went back to school the crude, strep and damn near every other nasty bug on the planet is making its rounds in my area.

done for the day. nothing really bad to note today. woke up with low and mid back being a bit tight and achy but that went away as soon as i got moving and warmed up. i did train at a facility that has a ton of different hs back equipment so i went a little ham on angles today but with a ton of focus on contractions. i had to pull with one of the power lifter chicks their since she was using the only hex bar and i wasnt waiting on her to finish. she is pretty strong so i figured it wouldnt be enough to jack me up but enough to stimulate a bit. all in all a good sessioh

about 30-45. the cream of rice doesnt sit in your stomach like a brick. what i do with guys i work with from time to time if they are having issues is double up on the cyclic dexrin if they have issues. so it would be a shake with whey and cyclic dextrin for pre meal and then the normal intra. this doesnt happen all that often though cause most can tolerate cream of rice pre with no issues. also can do rice krispy treats as well.

done for the day. jacked up my mid back last week doing legs. actually not so much my back as i actually popped 4 rip heads out on one side and 3 on the other and it put me on the floor. i thought i slipped or herniated a disk when i did it. sad thing is i was picking up a bar with 185 when they popped out on me. i did finish the leg workout haha and ended up belt squatting 14 plates. so it really didnt hinder that to much.
so i went a little more easy and cautious today with nothing bent over and no mid lower back stress movements at all since it is still just a smidge sore. i did cryo over the weekend also which helped speed up the recovery. moved some pretty good weight and got a hell of a good pump. i am thinking that i am going to go back and forth between a little heavier(relative) training and tempo squeezing training to keep the muscles guessing. that and hopefully stay a little bit more healthy and injury free this year. they both make me sore as shit, so obviously it is working pretty good. cardio is still brutal as it is year round. i trained at a couple different facilities over the last couple of weeks and they dont have the best climate control. that made it extra brutal and i really did think i was going to die. good session in today and pretty happy with where i am sitting right now at the moment.

done for the day. as you can see above i am still dealing with that jacked up shoulder issue when it comes to chest and shoulders. i am able to do those 3 movements with very little pain and i am trying to maximize as much as i can with them while trying to let it heal up. it is night and day better than what it started out as. i couldnt do any type of pressing at all for months. my therapist found the area it was coming from and it is a spot under my scap and has nothing to do with the actual shoulder. rotators are completely in tact and everything shoulder wise is good. it's that one spot and that spot creates an issue that make the lat seratus and a bunch of other shit all fucked up. so rehab pt and a bunch of other crap and it is finally getting there. when i first starting pressing again i could barely hit the 100. so i am happy with progress. great pump today and a good session but nothing to write home about other than getting better.

done for the day. got a bunch of recovery work in last week, so feeling pretty good and fresh going in. still having a little bit of an issue with the area where my ribs keep popping out of but other than that pretty damn solid. that area doesnt really hurt or anything it just pumps up really bad and gets tight as shit. then eventually the ribs come out and bam that's when it hurts and gets crazy painful sore. moving some pretty good weight around and getting some damn good pumps going. good stuff across the board the last week or so. the late night friday night lights games are beating my ass though haha.

done for the day. not to bad of a session today and def getting stronger on the slow end neg tempos. i was a little worried it wasnt going to go to well because my knees were a little sore going in but fortunately no issues at all. i actually only pulled the knee sleeves up on 2 sets total for the day. so that was a success in itself. i will normally only pull them up when they feel like they are starting to act up and honestly i think my issues this year came from using them to often and making my tear drops to weak. so now i only pull them up when i know i need to. i did pull back on the cardio level one notch to not get beat up so bad. it only shaved about 8bpm off the heart rate. so my cardio system is still working hard. pretty good session and week so far.

done for the day. still sticking with the same tempo focus this week but switching to work more thickness to the upper mid back. so a lot of pronated grip work and pinching the shoulder blades. now the key for me here is 1- not to make my lower rhomboid/trap area angry or 2- jack up my neck again. so focus is razor sharp and i may or may not swap in some shrugs off and on, i honestly will have to play that one by ear. i have a couple spots where nerves are close to being pinched from being blown up and training hard for years on end. so i have to be extra careful when putting a lot of work in around this area. the pump from this was nasty and painful to say the least and i would say a damn good session overall. cardio even though i dropped it a level was not as brutal as normal but i had to wait about 15 mins on the stairs so my heart rate was down when i got on. i did do the last 8-9 mins at level 10 just for good measure though.

done for the day. thanksgiving family leg day tradition in my house. we get up have pre workout meal and hit legs every holiday no questions asked. then come home and have breakfast and start the days cooking for the big meal. pretty damn good session today with no issues at all. felt good and strong and got some damn good work in. only side issue i had was with cardio since we were pushing tempo pretty hard to beat the crowd i didnt let my heart rate come back down before jumping into the intervals which made it extra hard. i have been training normal and not logging on here because i have been crazy busy. i did pull carbs back down from around 800 back down to about 600 and dropped lss and swapped it out for intervals for a while. been working on improving my hrv. all in all a good session. wont be listing my meals for the day since the only normal meal i had was my preworkout meal. the rest was thanksgiving foods with lots of ham and sweet potato casserole haha.

done for the day. finished up this block with sets of 15. was trying to increase the reps that i topped off my sets of 8 with on all my movements. well unfortunately my strength dropped off after the second movement and went down hill on me from there. had a pretty good block this go round with no really bad issues at all. smooth and steady with some great pumps. i did switch over to the intervals for cardio for a bit and also brought my carbs and cals up quite a bit higher. everything has been running pretty smooth the last few weeks. been busy as shit though.

done for the day. if you are paying attention to my chest and shoulder work, i am still having issues pressing. it has gotten kind of better but i am still limited on movements. i have actually increased strength in the cross overs and presses and i am slowly working on finding other movements that dont make it even more pissed off. still get a great pump for the most part and most of the chest and shoulder work i have been doing has been super slow tut or light with super high reps to drive as much blood in as possible. doc says that just like my knee the muscles are super tight and pulling the joint causing pain and lack of mobility. keep doing the therapy bs and soft tissue work and it will get better eventually. sucks ass, so since i am not able to go quite as hard on chest and shoulders i have been adding in a couple sets of arms. nothing crazy just some pump work to get blood in. all in all a good session

done for the day. going to get back to regular logging again. wasnt any point the last 2 weeks because my training was sporadic and rushed with last week only being a 3 day training week for my 5 year colonoscopy bs. so no eating the day before and guts being wrecked the next two days. so that ruined that week. cool thing was i got to nail out some good therapy work and cryo treatments while not being completely wrecked. so that brought me into this session fresh and as health as possible. so no really bad complaints at all and all my numbers were actually pretty damn good. so completely happy with that. so we will see how many good sessions and weeks i can string together. cardio after missing a bit was way harder than it should have been and sucked as usual. was up close to 1k grams of carbs a day for a while and now i am pulling it back down again
