Sarge's Lifting Chronicles 2006-2007

You did a whole bunch of everything yesterday.
I think 24 hour recovery would allow for you to start a day 1 = Monday kinda thing (no Im not backing down ), also since you're not doing all the back work that normally aggravate your other lifts, it just might work.
Even IF you have to go a week of lighter weights to get INTO the new routine and make it a full week with no breaks, may be a good thing.
You're a libra .. and stubborn.. so I know you're going to do whatever you want...

grrrr

Yes, yes I did... I had fun yesterday got that out of my system... it felt good finally feeling strong for shrugging again... it was a good mental boost.

Ok, ok... I hear ya. My tris are feeling it from yesterday, don't forget I did overhead work + bench (*2, including DB work) + Tri Press down + BW dips ...

you're confusing me, 1st you want me to take more time off, now u want me to train sooner wtf

We'll see how i feel tomorrow afternoon, ect... that'll give me almost 48 hours since pressing.... see what the Guys have to say too.. cuz working back up lighter anyway might as well... maybe? opinions please.... should I just do it?

I think you'd be okay with the light ramp-up weight tomorrow if you're really eager to get started, but there's no point in forcing it if you don't have a particular preference (e.g. having Day 1 after the weekend) or think you'd stick to it.

I'd been meaning to comment on this...it might be the est thing ever seen in a journal here:

SuperSetted:
Cable Cambered Curls: 100x10, 120x10 (switched to rope cuz the damn bar was making my ears bleed... it needed to be greased), 150x8

"V" Bar Press Downs: 100x10, 120x10, 130x8

Did you do remember to make an angry face at yourself in the mirror and bust out a double bicep pose after you finished?

i like that workout today.....got some good reps in there.....perfect for a lazy sunday

so when are you gonna have those x-rays to see what is going on with your back??? maybe its just a pinched nerve?

i think as long as you don't overdo it and just ramp up lightly you should be ok....maybe try a light back-ercise to see if its just a little creak that you can work out? i know when i pulled mine a while back, i did a lot of wall stretching and heat pad during sleep.....helped a lot

now,
get to watching football boa

Just (like you already said) see how you feel. On further inspection, that was a lot more pressing volume yesterday than you've done in a while, even if the weights weren't in PR territory.

... lol, read a few pages back (actually, it might be in the thread about my new training set up)... you may have missed some posts
quick clif notes: no x-ray... doc doesn't think it's disc issue... lower back still tight... chiropractor appoitnments 2-3x week for 4 weeks... hopefully resolve it. Got a few new streches i'm doing too... back feels great since i haven't aggrevated it in a while.

Yes, Sir.

I like workouts like those.

no i read it bro.....but my point was....the doc doesn't THINK its a disc and without an xray, he cannot be certain. wouldn't you like to be certain?

then again, if you aint feeling all tight and shit, then you might've done good with resting it up..... yah!!

ok. I said I can't go get xrays yet (until the Jan.).

yeah, i'd like to be certain... but it's just not an option at this time.

Yeah, I'm happy with it right now for the most part...it's better than it was, so that's a good thing. Thanks... deff the rest and avoiding any lifts that have aggrevated it has been a positive
