Sarge's Lifting Chronicles 2006-2007

I did mis-catch one of the reps, that's probably a contributing factor along with getting contacts for the first time and having my eyes adjust.

Sarge... word of warning: your contacts can irritate your eyes (sweat, chalk, dust, etc.) or get moved out of place easily at the gym, and you can be tempted to rub your eye and/or adjust the contacts often at the gym... but keep in mind just how germ laden those barbells are. Wash your hands before touching the eye/contact area... or you will get a mild infection sooner or later.

Trust me. You might also want to keep soem contact lens rewetting drops in your gym bag as well just in case.

Thanks for the heads up Kab

I'm anal as hell, if i have an itch on my face, I usually grab my t-shirt sleeve in the gym... i wash throughly... probably too much.

I need to get some sensitive eye stuff cuz the solution i have no i think is bothering me too much... it's only been 2 days though, lol.

MUCH better than the spectacle's

They are LONG overdue... and i didn't want to take time off from the gym for the surgery yet, so next best option

Not so much a germaphobe as I don't want the shit from the gym on my skin... after i'm done an exercise and 5 sets or whatever... my hands are brown and black from the nasty bars... it's just gross, and when I chalk up... I leave there a dirty mofo.

I'm going solution shopping tonight, lol... gotta get summa dos drops.

Sounds like you should ditch the front squats rather than jeopardizing your ability to start back squatting again with a knee injury.

Bro you had a tough workout no doubt about it.

If your knee is a continuous problem, maybe it is MRI time. OR, maybe you need to lay off any direct leg work for a couple weeks to see if it will heal on its own. I know that is an unpopular idea, but clearly you might need to try something you haven't tried yet, whatever that may be is up to you.

Get to that chiro... glad you persevered through your workout. Your squatting issues will definitely be behind you eventually and you'll have become a better lifter because of it.

LOL at "tricep action"

Thanks Kab.

I agree, no more bending at the knee... damnit

What about "Walk-Outs?" ... I read something before about them, they seem like they may have a place in my Day 5
