UPDATE: i did legs on sunday; got winded and dry-heaved a little......MAN, IT FELT GREAT! i did chest/forearms yesterday. kind of embarrassing being this weak, but I will get stronger. today i can hardly move because of doing squats sunday, especially when i got to sit down and when i go to...

Thanks, thats a very good idea. Well, I will begin my 1st of VERY MANY workout sessions in about 30 minutes, wish me luck. btw, I do have a small pic of my daughter and I in my picture gallery if anybody was interested in checking it out. Once again, thank you very much everybody!

yeah, I think you are right. Thanks. how is this: sun-legs/abs mon-chest(any ideas what else i can add to this?....it just seems like its not enough work) tues-same wed-same thurs-back/shoulders fri-bicep/tricep/calves sat-same

Wow, thanks for all the feeback and encouragment. I didn't expect so much help and encouragement to be honest with you. I really do appreciate it. I am glad that I inspired all of you to keep up your training. Maybe that is just part of the plan in my life that has been layed out before me...

Well, here is my 5 x5 routine. Let me know what you all think about it. Keep in mind that I HAVE to train at home for obvious reasons. Sunday-chest/calves flat bp 5x5 incline db press 2x8-10 incline db flyes 2x8-10 standing calf raises 5x15 (seems like there is something missing)...

Thank you all for your support and encouragement.........God knows I could use all of the encouragement that I can get right now. You all are a great bunch of people. It is a tough burden, and I won't lie, it IS a very tough job being a single parent, but I will not complain about it. God is...

I'm not sure why I am posting this. I guess I am looking for encouragement, motivation, help, and training advice from all of you. I have weight trained on and off since I was about 14 yrs old, but never real seriously, although I did take it seriously for a few months at a time, and then...

well, as of lately, i have not had anymore problems with my nerve. however i do have an appointment to get to a chirpractor (spl?) next week just in case. i have never been to a chiropractor, so i figured, what the hell? i will pass along any info via this post when the doc gives me some...

i have recently got back into my lifting routine after a 3 month lay-off for personal reasons. and now i am trying to lose the fat that i gained, and i tried a diet with very low carbs (atkins), but it was just too hard for me. i am a single father of a 14 month old baby.:baby2: so as you can...

update on my nerve problem: i went ahead and skipped my morning cardio on thursday, and stretched my leg ALOT all day yesterday and today. and today it felt great; no pain at all :) so i went ahead and did my leg routine today as scheduled, with no problems at all.......except of course the...

bignate: my toes do not point out when running or doing squats......at least i think, i will pay more attention. stretching does help quit a bit, but only temporarily. but it is better than nothing. i guess i will take it easy on my legs for a little while. it figures once i get back into it...

hey zen, thanks for the help. everything you said describes exactly how mine feels. i will try the asprin/ice/stretching routine for a week or 2 and see what happens. like i said the pain IS bearable right now. if it is still hurting tomorrow morning, should i still run? and if it is STILL...

the pain is basically from my right buttock down to the back of my thigh. it doesnt hurt constantly, but mainly when i make movements; it hurts worse when i lay down. ZenMachine: i believe that muscle that your referring to is the pirifimoris muscle, but im not sure. i do notice that...

i have recently gotten back into lifting again (my wife passed away in january, thats the reason for the lay-off), and the first week went really good, other than the expected soreness of course. i am running 3 days/week. right now, for my leg routine, im just doing a basic 1 day/week routine...
