it's been going ok I suppose. she says there is a lot of scar tissue built up in the area which is preventing free movement and causing pain. the technique she uses is painful but seems to be...

Appt went well.

Among some things, the doc found that a nerve in my right shoulder was affecting the strength of said shoulder. I got an adjustment done (chiro) and felt a world of difference in...

I've an appt with an Active Release Technique (ART) practitioner in a couple of weeks. I've been reading ART has helped many with this type of injury.

Laying off for now.

Woke up this morning, stretched out the arms and felt this really weird movement on the inner elbow. It didn't hurt but, it felt weird. "Oh...Oh". Kinda figured I wouldn't be lifting :(
...

we have different chains than our american friends. ask me how I know... :D

i tried following the directions. different part numbers in canada and when assembled the shooting match is a touch...

Yes, you are absolutely right. But, try explaining that to the OP.

Numbers and poundages are a little easier. ;)



OP, 1.5x ,2x means times your body weight.. so if you weigh 150lbs, come...

there is no 'right' answer, but you should be able to do SS till you reach at least 1x bodyweight in bench press, 1.5x squat, 2x deadlift.

you have a long way to go.

Squat: 3x5x190lbs (+10)
Bench: 3x5x120lbs (+10)
DL: 1x5x205 (+20)

Warm ups felt good so I went ahead and added 10 to the squat. Sets 1 & 3 were relatively easy, oddly enough #2 felt a...

I'm glad to be back at it. The elbow seems fine. I haven't had even a slight hint of pain thus far. Not sure if it was just rest or a combination of adding glucosamine + chondroitin (joints stopped...

your concern should be reversed, whether the cardio will affect your ability to squat every two days.

whether you are trying to shed bodyfat or put on muscle, your priority is to lift heavy and...

regarding the chains; it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission..

awesome progress bud! i think the press is first to fail for most, wouldn't worry about it too much. just reset and...

good deal on the back and the equipment.

i always feel weird on the negative -- putting down the DL -- too. it should be an easy reverse of the lift but for some reason i have to think about...

03/11

Squat: 3x5x180lbs (+10lbs)
Press: 3x5x80lbs (-15lbs from Max)
Rows: 3x5x100lbs (-25lbs from Max)

No problem, will up squat by 5lbs from here.

that's how i do it when i am pressed for time in the AM. use milk instead of water if you need extra cals.

I had forgotten how hungry DL day make me. Tub of cottage cheese had no chance today. :D

Will try adding 10/20 bp/dl next "Eh" day. 10 on squat in two days.

Damn! Nice progress for an old guy. ;)

3 plates/side on the next DL??

Ok, back at it. Been off for about a month.

I am going to reduce weights and gradually increase if all goes well.

squat: 3x5x170 (-40lbs from max)
bench: 3x5x110 (-25lbs from max)
dl:...

good!! I wouldn't either. :)

keep right at it.

as far as the lifts, have you "reset" the ones you stalled at yet?

you are doing well. the waist/mirror check is propably the best in terms of losing bodyfat.

if you really want to drop weight quicker, take off another 100-200 cals/day or add a bit of cardio. ...
