Good back and chest workout Jim. Hang in there with those work obligations. It sure is tough missing the workouts! Rest up and come back strong....

Good to hear about the trip being good for your career. It is very tough training on the road too.

Good news about your career. Work may suck, but it does pay the gym fees.

I work for a Fortune 500 company, but our site is very small; practically a rounding error. LOL. So sometimes I feel like the red-headed stepchild. Was nice to be part of the meeting.

Deadlifts and Legs
My back is seriously sore right now.
I had to really back off on the heavy stuff, and aborted my last set of deads today.
Lower back is feeling a bit dodgy.
Leg press wasn't too spectacular, but OK.

135 x 12
225 x 10
315 x 6
405 x 3
455 x 1

Lower back was not feeling great, so I threw the belt on and continued:
495 x 1
425 x 3
405 x 3
405 x 3
405 x 1 <---bailed and done
Leg Press
390 x 12

570 x 8
660 x 6
750 x 6

Standing Calf Raises
395 x 10

395 x 8
395 x 9
395 x 8

That's it.
I promised Lisa we'd go get some kitchen cabinets tomorrow, but I will try to train anyway. Been a while since I've had a dedicated gurly arm day.
Happy Easter, kids.

Tweaked it doing squats a couple weeks ago. Seems to be getting worse instead of better.
My deadlifts are in freefall mode.......... Low weight & lots of reps outside of the [back] pain zone keeps things nice and warm until they heal up. You're a beast with those bigs squats and deads but it's hard to imagine that putting that much stress on them is giving the injury time to clear up. Now, I'm no MD and generally never know what I'm talking about so take that with a grain of salt! However it gets there, I hope you get to feeling better soon. Have a great weekend.

Sorry to hear Jim. It may be time to try a different way. Maybe a plan to help your body get healed up. Hope your able to bounce back quickly.Originally Posted by -=FLEX=-

The leg pressing #s are insane dude! Sorry to hear about your back bothering you. Rest up Top Jimmy. You can't be the squat monster if you're injured.

Still looks great! Maybe you just need more recovery time...Maybe deadz every other week?
I'd eat a French goat turd if I thought it'd make me bigger.

LMAO. Yanno. I was thinking this morning that even with a gimpy back and shoulder I pulled 5 plates off the floor, so that's not too shabby!Originally Posted by mharrislove
Felt better abotu my workout this morning than I did yesterday.
I woke up sore and it felt good.
A bad day with the iron is better than no iron at all.

I don't think so; but I may skip the deads and/or the heavy squats this week to give my lower back a break.Originally Posted by rhino1964
Thanks for the support guys.
We went out shoppign today for new cabinets for the kitchen. Holy crap we ended up spending over twice what we had planned.
Just got home, so no gym today. I'll take it easy today and tomorrow.
Happy Easter.

Seems like you all had a great weekend food, cars, family and friends.
Now we just need the back and shoulder fairy to help heal your aches and pains.
