Chest(heavy), Quads(light), Calves
Alright today was starting to go really good. My neck/trap was tight, but it feels more like a really bad knot in my neck! But then it got worst and worst. to the point that just reachign up for the bar hurt like all holy hell!!!
Incline BB bench
215x5,5(1),5(1),5,3(drop down to 205x2)
the second and third set, felt weird, didnt feel really heavy, was goign good, but then the last rep I would hit a spot where I would stick. but the first and fourth set were no problem, didnt need any type of help!!! last set though, I went into serious pain, had to rack it, and then drop the weight a lil to see if that would help and it still hurt so damn bad!
Flat BB press
135x10
225x5
245x1
265x1
all were easy. the second set was goign really easy, untill the last rep, the strain hit again, so I decdied to rack it, and do singles to see if the reps were affecting me more! UH NO! I was wrong, the first one was really easy, lil pain...second one (265) was really easy, but alot of pain that time! decided to stop
Slight incline fly
50 2x10
really easy, and didnt put nearly the same strain on my neck/trap...definaly pushing mostion is what is hurting extremely bad!
Leg extension
22 3x15 held at extended point
Standing BB Calf raise
135x20
225x20
315x20
315x46(RP 20,11,8,7)
At this point today my shoulder/trap/neck/collar bone/clavical are all in alot of pain!!! my arm pretty much just hangs in pain, raising my arm at all hurts like hell, I gotta go in and get it checked out, cuz it is buggin the hell out of me!! But you know what. I will not miss the gym again untill they say I should, so today I will be going in and doing back/shoulder (not much on shoulders though) and fuck yea I am doing DEADS!!!

Back(thickness), Shoulders, Abs(lower)
felt alot of pain in the shoulder today, so decided not to really do anything for it, just see what hurt the most..was going to stay really light with deads, but they didnt hurt, so kept going up
135x10
225x5
315x1
365x1
415x1
all werent that much of a strain, but didnt want to push my luck
T-bar rows
2pl x10
3pl x8
4pl x6
5pl x4
once I get up to about 4-5 plates the bar starts pulling me forward alot!
HS iso latera low row
2pl each side 3x10 really really slow, good squeeze
Arnold press HA
25x3 pain was so much had to give them up, dropped shoulders all together!
leg raise with 3kg ball on ankle
3x30second hold
all in all today sucked, back was an all right work out, but shoulders are fucked! my right shoulder/trap/collarbone, or whatever it is, is buggin the hell out of me. I decided to get it checked out and verified that army docters are fuckin stupid! soemtimes...LOL the guys said I strained my neck, but WTF its where my chest and collarbone meet, is where the most pain is, but hge put me on flexoral, naproxen and told me to not work out for a week and then go back in!! HA

Dec 16th,
was supposed to be leg day, but missed yesterdays arms, so pushed them both back a day and did arms today, and will do legs tomorrow. My shoulder hurts here and there, but not consistant, I still believe that the doc was a crackhead and didnt know wht the fuck he was talkin about. Hopefully I can get a diff doc to check me out next week, cuz it is really messin me up. I did CG bench anyways, and didnt bug as much as I thought it would. shoulder hurt more during curls...crazy huh!!
CG bench
135x10
185x10
225x8
235x4(I think cant remember how many I did
245x3( needed a lil help on the last one, was dead, and shoulder pinched a lil)
skipped reverse grip bench
Rope press downs
50x15
60x12
70x8
70x8
50x12
ST bar press downs
70x12
80x10
90x8
100x8
these were done on a lat pull down machine, feels alot heavier than a standard cable machine setup.
Standing EZ bar curl supersetted with Preacher DB curls
90x8 ; 50lb db x8
100x8 ; 50x6,8 (first was left arm, second was right arm, whooped my ass)
100x8(needed a lil help) ; 40x8
Sitting alt db curls
45 3x8
all righ twork out, curls pinched my shoulder/collar bone area so I didnt go up to much. CG bench didnt bug them as much, and it made me feel good, I think I should be able to bench 300+ right now, depending on my shoulder

well I missed leg day again, had to work a 24 hour shift, then slept the next day, so taht sucks. What sucks more is my trap/shoulder, is still bothering me. It wasnt feelin to bad, untill I started workin out, I am goign to go back in tomorrow to get it checked out again, and hopefully they will pull their head out of their ass and give me some kind of suggestion!
Chest(heavy), Quads(light), calves
I also dumped the 5x5 for now, untill I heal, cuz incline hurts alot, and any kind of pressing motion over 3-4 reps starts hurtin more as well!
Flat BB bench
135x10
185x5
225x3
245x3
275x1
295x1 spotter touched it said I did everything but still touched it..grrrrrr
315xfail he had to put a lil pressure about 4 inches from my chest, but then said I pushed the rst of it out (that is also where it hurts the most during the press is at the bottom!!)
Incline BB press
135x5
185x3
225x1
245x1 spotter helped a lil to get past sticking point
Flat bench DB fly's
30x8
60x8
70x8
80x8
these actually dont hurt my trap/shoulder at all, and I think I could have easily done 90's, and maybe got the 100's for a few! I havnt done flat fly's in a long time, so these felt great!
HS individual leg extension
25 each side 3x15 held at extended point during reps
Standing BB Calf raises
135x20
225x20
315x20
315x48(RP 20,13,8,7)
Besides the trap pain today's work out was actually pretty good, never went that high on fly's before, and actually never even attempted that much on the flat or incline before. I dont worry about Maxes to much or PR's so it felt good to finally put alot on and give it a try. I am positive that if my trap/shoulder didnt bother me, I would put up 315 no prob, but we will see

first day back after learning whats wrong with my chest/shoulder, and I am now going to change my routine up a lil, I am basically only going to do legs, and back (and for back only do row motions, so I dont have to raise my arms above my head!), I will do minor arm work, really light just to get burn, no strengthening though!!
back
started with deads then got interupted
135x5
225x5
315x1
385x1
435x1
all of them were pretty easy I plan on going up 20lbs each week untill I get to the point I cant hit it again, so next week I will go for 455.
When I was getting ready to hit my last single, my buddy came running up to me begging me to help him out. They were abotu to start volleyball and they needed one more or they would get disqualified out of the tournament. so I helpe dmy buddy out like any good guy would do!! kinda sucked though messed up my routine, and ended up getting 4 more people so I really wasnt needed. But we won second place in the tournament, which was cool our only loss was against these samoan team that has played together for years, and we havnt even played consecutive games together!! LOL

Well I have been back int he world for a minute now, and been more busy with life changing events than I can ever imagine. I am currently on vacation, so I am just not trying to get to fat and lazy! LOL
My shoulder injury got to the point where I couldnt really do anything. My knee has buckled a few times so I cant really work it out at all either!! I feel just about worthless physically, but I will not give up. I havent lost all my strength yet, and shoulder is starting to feel better. Soon I will be starting to post regularly again, but for now, I am just kinda having FUN!!! havnt done that in a long time. I wish everyone the best, and look forward to KILLING THAT SHIT SOON!!!

alright I am back in the gym, nothing special right now, havnt got a routine down yet, and my eating is all jacked up, because I got my tongue peirced, and all that kinda shit. then you add in the fact that I have been drinking just about every night (to make up for the last year of course ) and my shoulder and knee are still pretty bad off, my work outs are WEAK!!!! but here is the last few of them:
2/13
chest/traps
Flat bench
95x5
135x5
185x5
225x3
245x1
275x1 he touched the bar GRRRRRRR
225x1
185x1
135x5
95x40
nothing to hard, it is a really simple pyramid that does alot of singles, then goes back a really light weight and get a good pump from it. the only one that really bugs my shoulder is the heaviest one, when I did 265 the week before, it didnt bother me though, so I thinked I need a lil more break.
at this point collarbone/shoulder hurt again, so did some really really light fly's and machine fly's for a squeeze but thats it. Inclines hurt way to much, so my work outs really suck!
went to shrugs, got one set of 135, then started hurting so that was that!!!
told you it sucks...
