Not any more, Bao, I am sure it is higher at my advanced age.

Chest and tris today. Still can't really do incline due to it hurting my right shoulder. Perhaps I should see a doctor about that.

Had a decent chest day for me, though. Hit 135 for 7 on my first post-warmup set. Then hit it for 5. Then for 5 ... but I tried for 6 and on 6 I failed.

I became *that* guy. Had to move the bar to my stomach, sit up, and stand up with the bar before putting it back on the rack.

Blasted my tris after that (well ... after trying some inclines and deciding that was a bad idea).

I feel like I'm finally getting form down and if my damn upper back and shoulder weren't so effed up, I'd actually start seeing some real gains on bench. Pretty sure I could do 185 for 1 if I had a spotter; but I don't want to do it without a spotter for fear of crushing myself.

Good lifting to all today. Tomorrow is a "rest" day ... so just cardio for me.

Nothing wrong with being "That Guy" because you're trying to get stronger and pushing limits but would it be a bad thing to just ask someone to spot?

With that being said I don't really do much on free weights if I'm alone. I'm afraid to be "That Guy"

Frankly, I don't really trust anyone to spot me. The times I have had a spotter at this gym, they've done it wrong and ruined the lifts. Zemekone is the only spotter I've fully trusted and who *helped* rather than hurt my lifts.

If there was someone at my gym I felt I could trust, I'd ask them. Until that point, I'll risk being the guy squished by weights.

Ah...easy fix then...just put Gerry in your pocket when you go to the gym and bring him out when needed.

Rest and recover. Dont rush it. If it feels good try to stretch, especially hamstrings and hip flexors.

did some hip flexors and sat in the tub for about 45 min... back loosened up nicely...

BigFrank · 01-28-2009, 07:18 PM

glad to hear you are on the mend gerry. hope everything gets healed up. nothing like a minor injury that is just bad enough to put ya down for a few weeks.

off night for me, might take another day off this week. been going for new maxes this week. been pretty fun.

DrDubzz · 01-28-2009, 07:41 PM

I've started light lifting with my dumbells again.

I would like to be in shape before it warms up again

(and round is not an acceptable shape)

The Professor · 01-28-2009, 08:40 PM

Legs are finally feeling 100% from last week ... just in time for leg day tomorrow.

Awesome. Bring da pain.
