Lacking some focus this morning plus a new tattoo on my back made pressing a little difficult. My prowler came yesterday. Got it put together and I will hopefully take it for a test run tomorrow afternoon if the weather is decent.

1 Hour of cardio this morning.
Some foam roller on the calves and hamstrings.
5x10 reverse hypers
I have been doing band pull aparts every night and the rice digs for over a week now to try and help the wrist and pec issues. Seems to be helping, I will test the wrist Wednesday to see how it does on triceps work. Still icing after workouts and heat every night on the wrist before bed. Whatever it takes to bring it around....

Everything was feeling good until I tried some dumbbell side raises, it felt like somebody stuck a knife into my wrist. At least the pain is getting better during all my other lifts. I am considering getting a bucket and rice and trying rice digs to work through the pain. At this point I will try about anything.

Fell asleep early last night, woke up with a headache and no focus. It showed when I got to the gym. For some reason I always have more strength and energy when I get little to no sleep. I had no focus, no drive and no strength today.

I had a little tweak in the neck/shoulder this morning. Everything was good until my 335's, the bar started to waiver a bit in my left arm and I overcompensated to the right and felt a pull. Racked the weight and called it a day.

2/20/2009 Catching Up
The last week has been rough. Fighting through the back troubles and then some pec issues popped up too.
I have been getting my back adjusted twice a week for the past few weeks and it is starting to feel better. The pec issue should be taken care of as well so I plan to get back on my regular schedule of lifting and posting.
Only time will tell, but I am feeling good and strong and I am ready to go....

2/3/09 Recovery
Day 2 of recovery started with a lot more stretching. The lower back is still a problem, but it feels a little better than yesterday. It is so difficult to stay away from the weights, even with the back hurting but I managed to do it.
After the stretching I ran for 30 min or so. Once again I didnt count the laps.
Did some foam roller work today as well.

I have been fighting a lot of strains and injuries lately so starting Monday I am going to try and stay out of the weight room for the entire week. I havent taken more than 1 day off in a week since April of last year when I tore the biceps tendon. Hopefully this will do me some good. I am going to spend the week focusing on my running and restoration.

1/9/09 Back and Deads
I am not sure what is going on but I got no sleep last night. I tried everything and finally about 430 I just got up and started my day. My quads are still pretty fried and the right triceps feels better but still a little tight so I was not going to push anything today. I am still blaming the worn out quads on Carl for trying to teach an old dog some new tricks......

My weight is also down 6 lbs from last Friday. I am not sure where this will go, if I start losing any strength I will modify my eating but I think that I can maintain the strength throughout.

3 sets of 5
I have had several questions about what some of the lifts that I do are so I have started taking pictures and posting them if you click on the my web page link I will try to keep it updated.
My weight is also down 6 lbs from last Friday. I am not sure where this will go, if I start losing any strength I will modify my eating but I think that I can maintain the strength throughout.

1/8/09 Legs
I was up early and feeling pretty good. The right triceps is still tight but it feels better. I am sure it is just a little overworked.
I couldnt sleep again so I was reading power to the people. A lot of information to take in, but I decided to start working in the 5 reps program, but I am still going to do several sets and I will try not to max out weekly, that will be tough to do in the beginning. I am also going to add in more deadlifting during my week. Right now I am only doing it on Fridays. I am thinking that I will try a Monday, Wednesday and Friday split and see how that works for me.
Started off with more stretching than normal, added in the new stretches that Carl showed me yesterday.
Here is what got moved today;
Hack Squat
180x5
360x5
540x5
720x5
Seated calf raise
90x10
135x10
180x10
225x10
Leg Press
180x5
360x5
540x5
720x5
900x5
Leg Extensions
180x5
270x5
360x5
Finished with stretches again. My quads were toast, I think from the swings and learning the new stretches yesterday.

1/7/09 Bi's and Tri's
I was feeling pretty good this morning and I had a lot of energy so I pushed my triceps pretty hard to see what I could move.

Ran about 12 laps around the track.
I would guess that this is why my triceps cramped up on me later on working with Carl.
I got just as good of a workout trying to get my form corrected on my kettlebell swings and cleans. Hopefully I have moved past some of my issues and fears of damaging my biceps again.
We did a lot of lower body stretching to try and correct some hip issues that I have.
It felt like about 1000 swings (it was probably 50 or 60) with maybe 10 or 15 having good form.
I will pick these back up Friday or Saturday most likely.
We worked through my issues with the cleans and hopefully I can move forward and progress with these.
We were going to work through some arm bar and turkish get ups, but as soon as I got into position my right triceps locked up on me pretty bad. We tried to do some arm sweeps and stretching to get it to loosen up, but it would not cooperate so I had to back it down.
Dr. Chad worked on the triceps and my lat that has been giving me trouble and I am confident that they will be ready to go for a good chest day on Saturday. Legs and deadlifting are my next two days in the gym, I am feeling good and looking for some big numbers.......
Just a side note, I have also begun to try and clean up my diet, I have always started the day good with a protein shake, but as the day progressed, my food choices would prgressively get worse and worse. Hopefully since this is our slower time of the year at the restaurant, I will have a little more opportunity to eat better and not just grab a sandwich or pizza. Stay tuned to this one....

1/6/09 Bad Day
I was not going to post this because I was not able to accomplish anything today, but one of my goals here is to possibly help others to push themselves through obstacles or trying times. Lately my focus has been lacking, my mind is somewhere else but I am usually able to reign it in for my training. Last night and this morning I failed. I was not able to sleep at all and my chest day was a failure....
Flat Bench
135x10
225x10

Floor Press
135x10
225x8

Incline Bench Press
135x10
225x8
245x3
My form was terrible on these, I could feel it. On the last set my left lat pulled on me so I backed off. I can only blame myself because I was not focused on the task at hand. The only positive that I can take away from this is that a year ago I would have kept going, I would have tried to push through the pain instead of listening to my body.
As we get older, it does help to get smarter too so that we can live to fight another day.....
Tomorrow, I will fight again.
