Resting up! Usually by Wednesday of an off week I can't wait to get back in the gym. But this off week I really haven't missed the gym, which means I must have really needed the week off! LOL

My shoulder is feeling better but my knee still hurts.

Shoulder injury started before I started playing basketball.

Knee happened after a leg workout in Orlando (about 2-3 hours after landing). I think I was just dehydrated and tweaked my knee.

I may or may not take next week off of lifting, I haven't decided yet.

Hey Derek ?I don?t post much here bro but I have followed you log for quite some time now!! I decided to post because I really feel your pain man?I have also been having trouble with my joints this year?(chest delt tendonitis, elbow, and recently my right knee too) its very frustrating sometimes. Anyways I have been using EPSON SALT BATHS for the last 8 weeks or so and my knee its feeling better. I don?t know if you have tried this before but if you don?t it may be a good choice?everything helps

Take care bro and I hope you get better

Hey Beast. Just a quick question bro....

Do you guys have any info on how to set-up a 2x/wk per body part routine? I have been doing a split similar to what you were doing at the beginning of this thread, but I feel like a need to develop my base better before I begin to target muscles so much....

I want to give this a go on Monday so any help you guys can give on exercises/reps/sets would be greatly appreciated.

Derek-
Hope the knee heals quickly for you! I know the frustration...had to have physical therapy on mine last year (IT Band issue). Hope the rest is exactly what your body needed!

I had thought about trying Epson salt baths a little while ago, but never did. I think I will pick some up this week and give it a go

Some good news is my lower back really didn't give me any issues today, even with deadlifts! So things are starting to look up

Wait, are you still cutting? Or are you gonna try to recover that lost size? I'm confused. 120 grams of carbs...ouch!

That is great to hear.

A while back I got a little over zealous with some very heavy standing calf raises and compressed my lower spine some. It took a while to work it out, but all is well.

I just lifted very carefully and light until it was ok...

As much muscle as you've got it should heal well...

Also, one thing that helped me was taking Back Relief tabs from Doans....Or Excedrin makes some too.

Back to AM lifting?

whatnow5 · 07-17-2008, 11:13 AM

I heard someone call their friend "beast," and I almost flipped on them. I figured I would let it go and let you handle it

Oh haha sorry man! I thought you had switched back to PM lifting.

Well, you and me both, then!

What's your morning schedule like? Can you break it down for us, from when you get up until you have your Meal #1? Also, do you commute to work?
