back
10 min treadmill warmup
cable pullovers 45x20 50x20/3 (warmup)
mag grip sup grip low rows 85x12 8512 100x12
one arm bb rows 10x10 35x8 45x8 55x8 65x8
meadows rows 35x8 50x8 60x8 70x8
dante rows 70x10 120x10 160x10 (went to light on these)
banded hypers x20/4 heavy red bands (these wrecked my erectors big time haha, i freaking hate the low back pump so bad)

that lat piece is still ill tempered so i didnt push it at all. it tightened up on that first set of pullovers so i went light and focused on a light stretch and a good contraction to get blood in there and moving around. same thing went with the low pulley rows. went nice and easy focusing hard and getting the area good and warm and pumped up. i went moderately light for the whole workout being extra cautious and 100% laser focus and going slow and very very smooth. feels great now so hopefully i got it worked out and taken care of. overall a decient back workout but nothing to brag or write home about.

meal 1
16oz skirt steaks w/a1
2 tbl spn coconut oil
meal 2
75g myfusion probiotic pro 3cups almond milk
2 tbl spn almond butter and 100g cream of wheat w/ sugar free chocolate syrup

8oz sweet potato
meal 4
16oz ground beef burgers with the works

Good to hear your lat is getting better. Now I thought I heard something earlier in the week about a video or some pictures possibly. That's the candy I want.

Tweetthis is why i like logs ill read yours when i dont wanna go to the gym then i see all the work u put into it and i get off my ass and go

TweetI keep meaning to ask you guns what is your rest between sets typically or does it very. Typically on my initial heavy compound movements I'm a 3 to 5 minute guy. I take my time and don't worry about it and just try to go as heavy as I can, but as I get into more isolation and more warmed up and further into the workout I typically go two minutes. And then there's times on really light high rep isolation exercises I'll only rest 45 seconds to a minute.

squats and deads or heavy leg press is usually 3-5 minutes or however long it takes me to catch my breath. lunges are pretty bad also and take a bit to recover from. on most other lifts it is pretty quick and not really timed. i go as soon as whoever i am training with does their set and we change weights. if the sets are timed we will do all of our sets before the partner goes. arms are pretty quick when i do them on their own day. i believe we busted out 24-28 sets yesterday in under 50 minutes and that was with 8 sets of calves at the end

Tweetyesterday:

bis/tris
10 min treadmill warmup
vbar cable pressdowns 100x20 120x20 140x20(warmups)ss 160x10ss 180x10ss 200x10ss 200x10ss these were done with a very slow negative and a hard 3sec squeeze in the contraction
standing db curls ss 20x6 25x6/2 i didnt wear my protective sleeve and i felt a little electricity pulse and a slight twinge in my bicep that has the old tendon injury in it so i stayed light to be cautious. stupid i know
bench dips ss x15/4ss
standing bb curls ss 40x6 50x6 60x6 70x6
sm jm press ss 135x8ss 185x8ss 205x8ss 215x8ss
db hammers ss 30x15 35x15 40x15/2
done for the day

i made the call not to wear my sleeve yesterday. stupid move on my part because the distal tendon is very fragle and i havent had it repaired. not fully torn but it would be damn easy to pop it off completely. i wont do that crap again that's for sure. i didnt hurt it but i know better and i caught it before i did hurt it though. pump was great and moved some pretty good numbers. added in angle dust and dark matter to my supplement lineup this week. can tell a difference with the angle dust but it is to early for the dark matter. the dark matter doesnt irritate my stomach so that's an added plus for sure

meal 1
16oz skirt steaks w/a1
2 tbl spn coconut oil
meal 2

2 tbl spn almond butter and 100g cream of wheat w/ sugar free chocolate syrup

I completely tore my left distal biceps tendon back in 2008. Brief agonizing pain and then nothing... that's how I knew it was a complete tear right away... no pain after a split second. I don't even have a cool story to go along with it though. I was cleaning out my laundry room and I tried moving the washing machine with one arm... I didn't realize my wife had clothes soaking in there so it was filled with water. When I tried to move it my arm just stayed put and it sounded like carpet tearing. Had surgery and it definitely helped but it always lags behind my right arm.

mine didnt tear completely it was a 75-80% tear from what the mri showed. i dont have a cool story either. i had got an infected hair when i grew out my arab beard for a job i was doing. well it went into an abcess that had to be lanced drained and the whole 9 yards. then i got put on a super strong dbl anti biotic that apparently makes the tendons brital. so i was horsing around with my kids and i felt a twinge in my arm. i knew i had tore something loose but i didnt have any bruising or disfigurement at all but i went to the doc anyway. yep it was a partial tear. so from then i on i have worn a sleeve to do anything involving bis for the most part

It was likely a floroquinolone antibiotic. Yeh they can do that but you may have already had a preexisting partial tear/ weakness or something you didn't know about. Damn I miss being a medic.
