Have to admit I have been slacking off on my training.

**bodyhard** · 10-23-2017, 07:00 AM

I have no excuse as to why I have not been going to gym since I came back from Florida which was Sept 25th. Since then I have been to the gym twice

Anyway wanted to see if there are any more slackers out there other than myself......

To some this might be slacking, since I am in season on hockey now I decided to cut back both volume, and intensity, cut out most conditioning, and switch to a routine that is full body two days a week (olympic lifts), with an optional third upper body day. So far its been fun/refreshing no reps missed kind of stuff. Doing this until joining the skinny/hangry 2018 crew end of March. Then its back to the hard work and dieting.

I've been slacking off too. I don't miss workouts, still go 4-5 days/week but not training as hard or really pushing for progress, been pretty much stagnant. I'll probably be more into it around January when I start dieting and don't have as much going on in general.

Had a health issue In July still trying to get the meds sorted and figure out my new normal so kind of slacking. I go but I was told to do 50 percent of the volume and fifty percent of the intensity.

**Cass40** · 10-23-2017, 08:20 AM

Yes, I've been slacking too. Last month, most weeks I got myself to the gym maybe twice a week. Last week I started 5x5 and it was so hard.

I went Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday, so technically three days but still had 3 days off between days. Cardio not even once.

Oh and was sick too two days yet took the whole week off.

**discdoggie** · 10-23-2017, 01:22 PM

You know why Ive been outta the gym, lol

I've gone every day since Friday. I have some fat to lose; everyone else says "No, you look great---so healthy."

Healthy = regular folk speak for "fat" lol. Ill be ripped and shredded in 14 weeks. You watch

I went to the doctor for elbow tendinitis in both elbows, and a possible hernia.

Took a day off, then felt better, so back at it. No tricep work or DL for 6 weeks.

Otherwise, back to it.

6-8 weeks of no normal curls, do my negatives, do Iceman's stretches everytime you workout. You'll feel a huge improvement.

I've not been slacking off really, just doing things a little differently I guess. My working out has changed a bit, compared to 8, 10 years ago. My goals are not quite the same as what they once were. The older I get, the more I realize that I'm not going to be another Mohamed Makkawy. Ha!

**weiss1967** · 10-24-2017, 12:21 PM

Bando, don't know about you, but my tendonitis comes back every time I go hard on hammer curlz. Those are most traumatic curls IMO. And here you are, with acute tendonitis, curling hammers. Painful, is it? Tell me more.

(Sadistic crew checking in).

BH, hi. Just wanted to say hi.

Ironic, I just did hammer preacher curls an hour ago, they don't bother my elbows nearly as much as BB rows or normal grip pullups.

**Jtbny** · 10-24-2017, 12:56 PM

I don't slack off; as it seems my world is crashing down around me at the moment I control what I can control and that includes sticking with my training.

**weiss1967** · 10-24-2017, 03:49 PM

^^^great post, can't rep, have to spread some.

I'd never had much in the way of elbow problems until very recently. Last June, I was doing weighted pull-ups with an 85 lb weight and after a couple of reps felt a pop (followed by pain) in my left elbow. Have had medial epicondylitis ever since. I took a week off to let it heal. The time off did nothing so I said "fck it" and went back to my regular routine (including weighted pull-ups). Probably not the most intelligent course of action, but I hate taking extended time off. Doing lower volume and some therapy exercises to help minimize damage. It still hurts, but at least it isn't getting any worse.

Even after the hurricane hit and flooded my main gym with 3 feet of water, I found another gym within a week. During that week I still did what I could at home like pushups tris and bis and body-weight squats. Main gym still closed due to massive repairs.

Been working out at Planet Fitness, the only gym somewhat close. They unhooked the Lunk Alarm

Weights are limited, but they have nice machines, so have to be creative.

Get back in the gym, Johnny

**bodyhard** · 10-25-2017, 05:38 AM

On a good note I just received my insurance card in the mail from my new job yesterday. Now I can get my injection on the shoulder! Feeling excited and ready to hit the gym hard, not using this as an excuse, but man working out with pain on my shoulder sucks!

Hope it works out and you are pain free.

**billzkey** · 10-25-2017, 08:02 AM

I've been slacking, but my excuse is that I have been sick for the past month. As a result, I only hit the gym about 6 times in the last four weeks.

**NorwichGrad** · 10-25-2017, 08:34 AM

I don't know, bro.

After the 'MILF' I saw this AM at the gas station, I think imma need a long break to recover.
