How are you doing eh? + vibes back at you HiDn.

Doing better. I was miserable earlier in the week. My monthly cycle I guess.
Went to the gym yesterday aft. Burned 500 cals on ellipt. machine. Hopefully do weights tonight, but I have 2 appointments, so I'm not sure I'll fit it in.
Eating well, but I haven't been tracking , busy, busy.

[HiDnGoD]

Don't stop! Don't stop!
I do my light shoulder stuff in the morning. Rehab & rotator strengthening. Sometimes ab stuff.
Man, I don't know how I get so busy, yet nothing seems to be getting done, LOL.

 

[HiDnGoD]

I've noticed I have a propensity to strive for higher weights & lower reps, so I'm gonna start a 5X5 in the next week or 2. Gotta read up on it first. I know it's hard to believe, a man reading instructions, LOL.

 

[HiDnGoD]

Happy Thanksgiving to all my 'Merican efriends. :huzzah:

 

[HiDnGoD]

Sooooo, yesterday I hit the gym by the University. Don't go there very often. Not keen on the cross treainers there, but I'm getting used to them. Nice scenery there, .
15min Xtrainer, level 6, 225cals.
15 min treadmill, 1.5 miles, HR to 142, 220cals

 

[ck2006]

a man reading instructions and trying something new! looking forward to reading your progress on the 5x5!

 

[HiDnGoD]

LOL, trying to act evolved.
The way I'm going it'll prolly be next week sometime. Not enough hrs in the day. But I'm sure I don't have to tell you that, Mrs Multitasker.

 

[HiDnGoD]

OK, today's workout. This is the same one I was sick to last week.
Squats: 10X145, 10X225, 5X295, 10X215.
BB Shrugs: 15X90, 15X125, 11X170, 15X130.
Calf Raises: 15X115, 15X175, 10X235, 15X185.

Standing Laterals: 15X10, 12X12, 7.5X20, 9X15.

OK, one question about the shrugs. I just started doing BB shrugs. I couldn't get enough with my 80lb D.B.s. When I do the lift, I have to lean forwards slightly so the bar doesn't drag too much on my legs. It doesn't seem to affect my back, but, will this be a problem?

I don't know if leaning forward is a good idea, doesn't that then effect the back of your neck?

 

[HiDnGoD]

Didn't really feel it anywhere, except my traps. Only leaned enough to get a straight lift on the bar, up & down the front of my thighs.

I would just suggest keeping your abs extra tight to support the back, At the same time you will be hitting a few different trap fibers and putting the levator into more of a pre-stretch before take-off (Probably not the best thing for that particular muscle). If you start getting headaches or what not that could be the cause.

Ok what's the deal with the avi's?

Hmmmmm.... shrugs maybe, told u ya might get a headache..
Levator Scapula, the muscle that raises the shoulder blade that you would hit differently on your way of doing them has been doc'd as causing referral pain behind the eye... Just one idea.

Nice lifting bor!!

I've used a fairly new barbell for Shrugs one time (hardcore, rough knurling on it) ... .yup, I had a nice gash and bloody spot on my left quad from rubbing up and down with 400+

No pain no gain, lol ... I make sure I use old bars that are smooth for shrugs now

So, do you just lean back & let it drag on your legs, or lean forward to reduce the drag. If you lean forward, does it detrimentally affect any other musculature, neck, back, shoulders?

 

[SgtSlaughter]

I lean back and let the bar go up and down my quads, hence the bleeding.

Leaning forward sounds dangerous with heavy shrug weight. If your going to lean forward... may as well take a lot of weight off and do upright rows or bent over rows.

Nothing yesterday, 'cept for my shoulder rehab stuff.
Went to the gym today after work. Released some stress on the Xtrainer 15 min 225 cals, and the treadmill, 18 mins, 215 cals 3mph - 6 mph.

Some family stuff going on, sometimes I just wanna crawl under a rock, LOL. I'm very stressed right now.

In other news, we have my company Christmas party tonight. Decent food : maybe some dancing, if I can get the Mrs drunk enough. Won't be too late. Might even have a beer or two.

LOL, it will work out. I'll make it. Whatever happens was meant to happen. Sometimes I'm not a people person

I'll wear a hard hat.

 

[HiDnGoD]

Well, I didn't eat too bad. Had a small piece of chocolate cake, but it was cut in half. 2 Pieces roast beast & 1/2 piece of schnitzel, no pratties, some cauli & broccoli.
No beer, but I did have 2 scotches. Actually one was a double & one was a triple, LOL.
Haven't felt too well the last 2 days. Feverish & upset G.I. system. Nothing serious yet. We'll see.

Stress will get you sick sometimes. And sometimes the best person to solve the problem is the one who isn't the people person because they have the ability to look at the whole picture.

now only do I hope things work out but I hope you feel better

Thx Ladies.
Things are usually OK. My daughter is only 20 & still not grown up. We butt heads now & then, LOL. She is really sensitive & cannot handle extreme anger, so I have to tone it down, or she has a complete melt down. Then I have to do something to dissipate the unexpelled anger. And that's all I'll say about that, LOL.

HiDn we you man!

I gave up on that awhile back... I found that the more I followed my own path in life and he finally saw I wasn't going to be a bum he let loose...
I don't think I ever disappointed him... Obviously we butt heads at times, but I monitor the togetherness for us both to keep our sanity.

 

[HiDnGoD]

I think I've actually yelled at her , maybe 5 times in her life. I always try to control my temper & be calm & rational. A mistake I think, because I don't think she understands how to deal with anger.
As the saying goes, I will always love her. She may disappoint me sometimes, but she will never be a disappointment. She is smarter than me, I think, & when she gains maturity & wisdom, she'll be fine.
I think that's all most parents want, is to see their kids happy & productive. Whether they work as a street cleaner, or a CEO.


Well, we had Laddies night tonight. Every year a bunch of us at work go out to dinner, then a few drinks, after. Went to a Chinese food Buffet place. macros were'nt bad, I think. Only a small steer, a coupla chickens & a Salmon. There were no potatoes or rice injured in MY feast, however a coupla heads of Broccoli were mortally wounded.
Services will be held throughout the night.

Prolly not going to do anything tomorrow. Have a Christmas dinner thing with Parents & step siblings, etc. Plus I'm working in the morning.

 

[HiDnGoD]

Had Christmas dinner. Went pretty good, 'til dessert. Tried everything, but small portions. At least I've learned that much.

All my step siblings are younger than I, so their kids are young, between 2 & 10. So cute watching the young ones, and amazed at how smart the oldest boys are.

Kinda sad, because this may be step mom's last Christmas. Everyone was having a good time, but you could see it was on people's minds.

Working tomorrow, hitting the gym after, then putting up Christmas lights. Supposed to be warm, around 7 deg.

 

[HiDnGoD]

It's taking me some time to get it together, but I'ma gonna be starting a 5X5 on Jan 1 or 2.

 

[ck2006]

Hey Did you ever test the theory on your shrugs and headaches?!?!

Not really. I think I've done shrugs once since then & no headache. But I have a hellacious one now. Been building all day.
Night Night, LOL.

 

[HiDnGoD]

BTW, I can feel my abs. Can't see them yet under the blanky, but I can feel them. Big f***ers, & they're even, too, or almost. Can't wait to see them. Say, around 2008. Hellacious sinus headache right now. Took 2 Xtra strength Ty, 2 Ty 1's, & 1 sudafed.

Didn't work. I dropped her at the mall, & I went to Zehrs & Canadian Tire. Then she embarrassed me. She wanted me to drop her at an, ummmm, age specific activity store .

Thanks *Bunny*. I don't know why I'm getting so stressed lately. I think it may be transferred from wifey & my baby girl. Baby's gonna be 21 on Fri.

My family was pretty liberal growing up. I honestly can't be as liberal with her (she is a gurl after all), but she is far more outspoken than I was. Plus I think she is trying to shock us.

 

[HiDnGoD]

I'm honestly in the doldrums right now. I wanted to bite a guy's head off at work today, but he needed it more than I did (not that he uses it ).
My temper is quick to rise. I think I need some time off. Thankfully I have all next week off.

 

[HiDnGoD]

Gotta get back to posting diet.
Today: 2542 cals, 227g Protein for 36%, 96g Fat for 34%, 193gCarbs for 30%.

 

[HiDnGoD]

Tonight's workout. Before supper.
Dead Lift: 10X155, 10X255, 5X345, 9X265.
Military Press: 10X50, 10X80, 7X100, 13X80.
Pull Downs: 10X80, 10X120, 5X155, 10X125.

Upright Rows: 10X45, 10X70, 6X95, 11X70.

Ok, I know I'm not the strongest guy on here. And I know I'm not the sveltest (is that a word?). But a few things I've noticed.
I have more vascularity than ever before. Seeing veins in my arms, legs & shoulders I've never seen.
My triple chin is down to a double.
Aside from not getting enough sleep, I have more energy than ever.
I'm stronger than ever.
I'm aiming to run a 6 minute mile (like I did in basic training 25 yrs ago ).
My arthritic knees are bothering me less.
My boss, who is 5 yrs younger than I, is worried I'm going to hurt myself lifting all these heavy weights. While he has reasons why he can't do this exercise, or that exercise, and can barely bench 150.
I just wanna say, I'm feelin good, moving along. And I have you all to thank.

Good for you! Are you going to do all the push ups and sit ups? The humps?!?

 

[ck2006]

lol, NEXT WEEK

Have a merry christmas! I'll wait lOL

 

[HiDnGoD]

Good for you! Are you going to do all the push ups and sit ups? The humps?!?

I can't remember what the criteria was for that. Something like 30 situps in 1 minute, and 20 pushups, no time limit. I can prolly do that now.
we also had to do some pullups, but I can't remember how many. We had to climb a 3" rope to a 20 ft ceiling. Swim for 5 minutes with combat uniform on. Run 1 1/2 miles under 12 minutes.
I should find out what is required & set that as a goal.

Wow, sounds almost as good as mine.
I had absolutely no energy for my workout. I had to fight through it, prolly cause of all the crap I've been eating. 1/2 hr after my workout I was sitting down to the best turkey I've ever tasted. Yuuuummmmm.
Hope your day went well. Mine was awesome.

And by 1/2 hr after dinner I had more energy than the energizer bunny.

My wife got me an awesome watch for Christmas. Seiko, gold & silver. Kool.
She also got me an Omron electronic scale that gives your BF% & BMI. I officially suck, LOL. I had my bf checked at the gym & I was 29%. My new scale says I'm 34%. I know not to take it seriously. I just want it for weekly comparison. BTW, I checked it before my workout. After my workout, & after supper. My weight changed 4 lbs over that time & my bf change by 1%.

BF at the gym and the one on the scale are two different things and measure differently.
I was BF caliper measured at 10% by my trainer the day I was going on stage for my competition and my scale had me at 19%. Just so you know!!!
My scale says I'm 31.5% this a.m. so ?!? SBT had me at about 24% 2 weeks ago so maybe adjust it by 5% or so.. and also think about how much water you take in because the electrical current it sends through your body depends upon water in the body.

I understand.
Unfortunately, at my gym, they use an impedence type thing too, on a scale. I saked one of the trainers about caliper testing & she didn't know what I was talking about. Another one said. "Oh, we don't do that here."
I think I'm gonna have to go to the University.
