"Avoid alcohol, red meat....sexual activity...traveling...sports...".

Suck a dick, I'd rather be in pain.

Chainsaw13 · 01-25-2018, 07:01 AM

Damn, all I have around the house is empty salsa jars. Glad I'm not getting acupuncture done.

New England School of Acupuncture is near my house. I went a few times and the needles are really no big deal. Some procedures, the needles are put in the back and you lay on your back! Does not hurt I can assure you.

That being said, I have had much better results with Chiropractors who are Graston certified. There is no better way to get rid of soft tissue damage than Graston.

Back and shoulders today.

Deadlifts
Close grip pull downs
Reverse narrow grip rows
Shoulder press
Band side laterals
Shrugs
Dumbbell pull overs
30 mins on treadmill

Went lighter on some of the sets, but increased reps. Trying to minimize the irritation to my neck. Guess I should've done that on the pull overs.

. Feeling it. Also need to work on grip strength. Could've done more reps or more weight on deadlifts except my left hand was giving out.

Calves still feeling the burn from Tuesday so very little running in treadmill. Nice 4.5mph pace walk.

Adriftpanda · 01-25-2018, 05:54 PM

Legs, felt good. More of a hypertrophy day.

Fronts 4x6
Deficit stiff leg deadys 3x10
KB box step ups 3x8-12
Seated leg extensions 4x12+

4WheelVFR · 01-25-2018, 07:41 PM

Yesterday after work, I tried to up the weights I've been working with. Keep in mind I haven't seriously lifted for any length of time in probably 10 years. My first goal, besides getting in consistent workouts, is to bench, squat, and deadlift my body weight. I weigh in at 245 right now, where 200 would get me a flat stomach. I've been getting in fairly consistent workouts for about a month now.

Deadlifted 255 3x
Squatted 225 for 3 sets of 5 reps
Benched 205 for 3 sets of 5

Felt pretty good.

Chainsaw13 · 01-26-2018, 07:13 AM

Has anyone used the big grips when lifting? Thinking of getting a set to help increase grip strength. just looking for real world results.

icehog3 · 01-26-2018, 09:02 AM

Good liftin', Ray, Huy, Bob!

Bob, I'm not a believer in the concept that those big grips will improve grip strength. That being said, I've seen them but never actually used them.

Adriftpanda · 01-26-2018, 09:06 AM

Seen them but like a lot of gym gimmicks, I think they are ridiculous. Why waste money on them? Lots of things you can do to train forearms/grip strength. Just my thoughts on them though.

bonjing · 01-26-2018, 09:32 PM

some Random stuff today mind wasn’t focused on muscle groups. Shoulder felt good but I may have over did it.

mk05 · 01-27-2018, 03:27 PM

Been eating and drinking like a homeless person in London for a week.

Came back with a terrible 24hr flu, and finally hit the gym. Did the circuit, feel great.

icehog3 · 01-28-2018, 08:48 AM

Do homeless people in London eat and drink well?

mk05 · 01-28-2018, 11:14 AM

I don't remember anything from London LOL

Another circuit! Need to drop all this weight, I feel fat. Turrrible

bonjing · 01-29-2018, 09:21 AM

Did the acupuncture and not sure how I feel about it. Felt a couple of the needles go in but overall wasn't too bad. Had a tingle in my big toe when he stuck one in the ankle or somewhere around there, that kind of freaked me out. Maybe it helped a bit.

Usually after working the range, my lower back is hurting from leaning against tables all day. I know what causes it yet i keep doing it, the true definition of stupid

.

I went in after work, with a bit of pain and now it seems like it's pretty much gone and/or is much less than it was before I went in. Not sure if it was a "I wanted it to work so it worked," type things, but I'll be trying again in March. And yes I did my brush my teeth and tongue before going in and no urine sample

I did feel like Kung Fu Panda when they tried to do acupuncture on him

icehog3 · 01-29-2018, 10:08 AM

So it sort of, maybe, unsure but possibly helped, Greg?

Hit shoulders and arms yesterday.

Cambered bar curls x 4 sets
Olympic bar curls x 3 sets
Cable curls x 3 sets
Military press 5 sets
Rear delt flyes x 4 sets
Skullcrushers x 4 sets
Dips x 3 sets

Hweading in for wheels now.

Chainsaw13 · 01-29-2018, 01:48 PM

Hoping my health improves enough this week to get back into the gym. Kinda missing it.

icehog3 · 01-29-2018, 03:31 PM

Fingers crossed, Bob!

Legs were a b!tch after hockey last night, stayed light and did presses, curls and some hacks. 14 working sets total and I was jello.
