Adventure to men's physique.

Well i have been having some pretty bad pain in my left hamstring the past few days which has been painful but i was still able to function normally. This morning when i woke up i tilted my neck like i was looking at my feet and a terrible pain shot down from my neck to my hamstring... Never really felt anything like this before. Couldnt put my socks or shoes on without sitting on the ground. My car is a 6 speed so driving to work was dreadful...I called the doctor and have an appointment for 4 oclock this afternoon. Hopefully nothing terrible, but it sounds alot like a pinched nerve. Keep your fingers crossed.

Sounds like my snowboarding trip this weekend is going to be canceled :C

Mate, that sucks

Hope it is nothing to serious, rest up and hopefully it will go

Hopefully the doctor can pinpoint what it is

Best of luck

Well the doctor was absolutely useless. Said it sounded like a pinched nerve but didn't give me anything, and told me to avoid BB rows... I guess bending over and rowing causes my vertebrae sheer. So that was his consensus. Left there and went to the gym to talk to my manager about stretching and we ended up stretching for 30 minutes. She thinks it had to do a lot with me being so tight. Feel a wee bit better but still need to keep off it.

Was this a primary physician or a specialist? Even specialists can be a little in the dark when it comes to sports related injuries. When I hurt my hip awhile back (turned out to be torn cartiledge), I ended up driving out to Philadelphia to Thomas Jefferson and their ortho department. They work on the Philadelphia Phillies players, so they knew a thing or two about sports injuries.

If you must know, I face planted going down a ski-slope to injure my hip

He is my new family physician. I am going to give it a couple days before I look into going somewhere else. It's funny because after stretching it and moving all day I felt really good last night. I woke and the SOB was tight as hell again. So we will see how it plays out.

That sounds like where I need to go. Someone who knows more about sport specific injuries.

Dude I was suppose to go snowboarding today too. Good thing I didn't, don't want to pull a Stan ;-)

Also can you believe he told me I can still dead lift and squat?!? I was like dude I just told you my GF had to put my left shoe on, how the hell am I going to deadlift?!

Been lurking your log for a little while, figured I'd chime in. This ^ would be your best bet most likely. The average physician probably doesn't have a huge amount of knowledge when it comes to biomechanics, sports rehabilitation, or weight lifting in general. I would recommend consulting a place such as this > http://www.pinnacleortho.com/. Hope you get it figured out soon!

I thought you would like the new macros, thanks again for the reassurance man...much appreciated!!

YES, theyre perfect. Funny story: Last night my girl was eating some blue bell mint chocolate chip, which made me want some. Looked at the macros and couldnt do it. Ran down the road to food lion and scoped out all the ice cream brand macros... Edy's came through!

May give this 5/3/1 a shot..

Should be looking like this for todays leg session:

Squat: Warm up, 65%(185)x5, 75%(215)x5, 85%(245)x5

Barbell Lunges: 4 sets of 10-20 reps

Leg Extensions: 4 sets of 10-30 reps

Leg Curls: 4 sets of 10-15 reps

Going to see how my back feels after foam rolling, stretching, and some warmup cardio. Doc says squating heavy is recommended so we will see if he stands correct.

My girl will be with me so i will be sure to get a video of squats so you guys can critique my form. Calling out JP to tear my sh!tty form apart

[jpfaherty]

Love the way you have it set up, looks really good to me.

One thing I'd consider on your lower days is making your second exercise one that will benefit the main exercise.

For example

Squat accessory sumo deadlift

Deadlift accessory front squat

Something along those lines. I'll be more than happy to critique anything you film brah.

I can sub the lunges for the sumo squats, i was originally gonna go with hack squats, but they bother my lower back and with everything going on with that i was trying to "baby" it.

And then front squats appose to chin ups?

Do whatever you think is best for you! You don't need to eliminate anything if you don't want, I'd just suggest adding a nice supporting exercise to the main lift. If you have it in you or have the time, then keep everything the way it is but add those.

Ohhhhhh i like the way you think. Fuark replacing, just add it in as well

I suck terribly at front squats, so that probably wouldnt be a bad thing to add.

Nice! I gotta get an order out before my dentist bill comes! Hopefully I'll be sticking up at the Arnold this weekend.

Yeah I hear that, don't think I'm gonna be able to make it this year (

[offroadatv200]

Well my first session was killer! Really demolished legs tonight, to the point they were going numb after. Didn't have the gas to hit BB lunges which I'm actually impressed with. Usually I don't get this sore with such a short workout. Leg extensions were f*cking brutal.
Guys, critique my from, my girl went crazy on pictures and videos

Squat: 185x5, 215x5, 245x5

Sumo deadlifts: 185x15, 205x12, 225x10, 225x10

Leg extension: 195x15, 210x11, 195x10, 180x10

Leg curl: 120x15, 120x14, 120x13, 120x10

Squat 245x5



Sumo deadlift 225x10



Before my last squat set, praying I don't drop it

[Ccm644]

New attack stack :-)

Nice!
I see its protein and creatine.
What are the others?

Squat 245x5



Sumo deadlift 225x10

From the last videos these in my opinion look alot better and stronger

Squat - great, maybe your last rep or two get as low as the first one

Sumo - looks fine to me (i must say i have not done a sumo before) but it looks strong and your back looks fine

Nice workout!

So your going to stick to the 5/3/1 routine?
Also just curious you brought a weight belt a while ago do you use it? prefer it?
