My Quest to COMPETE - BEAT THE DISEASE!

[JKurz1]

Critism (constructive) I can handle and tolerate well....I can also take a belittling when it's by someone I know and the reason why they are (i.e. football coach, dad, etc.) but to opost pics and get ridiculed by a bunch of clowns I've never met before (not that you guys are clowns but some are) isnt what I need right now. I AM NOT IN A FAIRYWORLD.....I KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE, I KNOW WHERE I WANT TO BE AND IF I COULD BE AS STRONG AS MOSSES AND A TAD LESS BF, ID DO I IN AS ECOND.....MY FEAR: #1, NOT BEING ABLE TO GET MY ABS BACK....I am 30 mind u....and low test.

#2, I'lll lose the abs and by being so overtrained, etc...I wont get an ounce stronger...I'm finding my strength is sticking right now prob. cause I need a day off or 3, but mentally I need to be in the gym...I eed a fucking realease...sure sure hanging out with the boys, girl, parents, bro, gma is awesome....but it's not a RELEASE.....


how bad is taking a tyelonol or 2? I know advil and NSAIDS are bad, but is tyelonol the same? Form has nothing to do with this Sarge - i fd it up doing chest.....

Just don't screw up your shoulder. See whether it'll cope with some light warmups but at the first sign of complaint just put aside any thoughts of working through it and cross off every exercise from today's workout that involves your shoulder.

If you need them, take painkillers after the workout, not before. The pain is there to tell you to be careful.

It is by will alone I set the weight in motion
The weight aquires speed
The muscles acquire pain
The pain becomes a warning
It is by will alone I set the weight in motion.

Jeff, 30 is just a number.....don't read into all the negative stuff that says it is all downhill from there, it is only downhill for people who choose to abuse/neglect themselves. Whats the cycle/HRT status? Just use that as your testosterone insurance policy, so you know you have more than enough in your body no matter what thoughts creep into your head.

Tylenol won't kill ya... I use ibprophen when need be for muscle soreness or when my knee was messed up awhile back.

Ohhh... ok, if you're injured/tweaked something real good, I wouldn't do any pressing until it's healed (probably not more than a week if you don't aggravate it anymore).

Again, for the shoulder....here is what I do to handle stuff like that (and it is gonna happen several times a year to anybody pushing their body the way we all do).

1.) If day to day life causes discomfort, I don't train. If it does not get noticeably better or gets worse after 24-48 hours, I go to the Dr.

2.) If day to day life doesn't cause me to notice it, I'll do whatever doesn't aggrevate it at the gym, once my normal stuff doesn't cause any discomfort, I return to normal and re-ramp my weights.

3.) I NEVER take meds pre-workout. Afterwards, I'll take something if the pain is gonna interfere with my sleep.

BN smith press......worked with no pain, it's really only in the pushup postion....I was slated to do some front squats today and then some light bench, I'll start out with dbell bench and see how it works.....maybe 5 sets of 10

 

[JKurz1]

Well, Sunday was heavy squats, monday was chest and tri, tues hamms and 5x5 squats and 5x5 rows, wed was delts....and tomorrow is Deads....what should I smack up today? Cleans? light bench?

 

[BiggT]

Jeff, did you plan taking a day off from training this week?

Honestly, you can fit in cleans as a nice built-in warm-up to deadlifting tomorrow. And if you benched on Mon and did OHP on Wed, you could even do the light bench tomorrow too (if you do it at all).

 

[JKurz1]

I'd rather not squat todayh and give my low back a break for tomorrow..........can I do some cleans today, maybe high rep? from the knees to the shoulders and back down....not the fuull press....

then do some close leg press
light bench
arm and abs...........then hit deads tomorrow solo.....

 

[BiggT]

On paper, you COULD.....the key with all that is intensity.

If you go today, yeah, do the hang cleans and I'd suggest doing arm work and thats it. I wouldn't bother leg pressing, save yourself for tomorrow's deadlifts (and since u last squatted tues, maybe use 75% squats or front squats to warm-up for deads). As far as light bench, use your head about it. You did shoulders yesterday and you recently tweaked the shoulder a little. I guess you could do light close gris as part of the arm work. Personally, I think you deserve the day off and you also deserve a good meal, lol.....but that's what I'd suggest if you must work out today.
