Oh jeez. Var, you should come to Vegas too.

I'd kill to go to the "O", but there's no way my poor ass can afford it!

Save up for next year?


Posted by: Var

Yeah, definitely!


Posted by: P-funk

ask one of your clients for some money!!


Posted by: Var

LOL. Yeah, I'm sure they'd be glad to contribute.


Posted by: PreMier

Hey P, how many clicks have you gotten for your ironmag link?


Posted by: P-funk

I don't know? I haven't checked. Probably none.

var- just ask.....you never know if you don't ask. It isn't that much to go to vega anyway.


Posted by: Var

Are u being serious??? Have u ever asked clients for $$$?


Posted by: P-funk

No.......lol. Most of my cool clients will help me out though if I need it. But I never ask and I don't even like to take things from them. I feel bad. I get some cool stuff though.......yankees tickets, rangers tickets, us open tickets, offers to come to parties, offers to come to their summer homes in the hamptons, offers to go out to dinner.....all kinds of nice stuff. I have some really generous people.


Posted by: Var

We have very different clients!


Posted by: P-funk

LOL, Rhode Island is a bit different then the Upper east side.....you'll see.

Actually P is just a jiggalo. He tells us he is a PT, but I dont buy it anymore.

Short and sweet today, just went for high reps. The cleans were okay. I had another strength and conditioning guy at the gym today telling me all the things I am doing wrong. From what he tells me I am not gettign the "double dip" with my hips because he says the weight is to light and I can just pull form the floor, shrug a little bit and then almost upright row/throw it up to the rack position and catch it....lol. He said I need to shrug more and work on dropping under the bar instead of pulling it all the way up like i do. So I think I may start my cardio days with light cleans to work on my form. Squats were fun....reps reps reps. At the end of my third set I told my training partner that I should have just tried to do one set at 265 or 275 all out as many times as I could do and then call it a day with squats. I was thinking about going 225 for 50 but I am still scared of that, 20 felt pretty easy though. Kind of pissed I couldn't hang on for 15 reps on my last set of DB SLDLs. My hammies were fried from squats and cleans, as was my grip from the cleans so I ran into some problems there. Calf raises were Calf raises.

Hey P-funk, it seems to me that you had a great workout. There is something I learned earlier about lifting weights. No matter what, you will always do something wrong in someone else's eyes. Everyone is an expert and I don't mean that in a bad way, since the guy was just trying to help you out. What I mean as that everyone learned one way of doing it and that seems to be the correct way for him/her...

Have a great day

Patrick, please let me watch when you make him bleed?


Posted by: P-funk

Var- DEAD!

Max- thanks...yes you can watch. No, I know my form on my cleans needs to be better. I mean olympic lifts are extremely complicated and the people that are great at them have been doing them for a long long time. Like Bobby Oleho told me "you really need to be doing this for a couple of years before you start flipping cars over." It is really true. The guy that was helping me today was one of the first people that taugh me how to do the "o" lifts so I had him there just giving me some constructive critism on what I can work on. He wasn't dissing me or anything.

Welcome to NY!!


Posted by: JerseyDevil

Looks like a good workout to me P. Sounds like your getting great advice on the power cleans, and "O" lift technique. I'm sure you'll nail the form soon .

I love to watch Olympic style lifting. So much true power. But I hope one day they include powerlifting, as I think that would be awesome to watch also.


Posted by: P-funk

P- Yeah, I know I can pull way more weight. But it is not about just pulling heavy weight. I want really clean form. I can pull it up sloppy but I want to get my form smoothed out becasue that means whatever I can do sloppy I wil blow out of the water. Form first weight second with everything in my book.

MAX- Welcome to NYC!! Classic!! LMAO

JD- thanks. I am working on it. He said my form was good, I just need to learn to double dip my hips better, I never do that properly, I probably am not fast enough. lol

ARGH!! This workout sucked!! I was so tired and really hungry and I jsut had no energy today. I wanted to do full ROM bench press today but I had no training partners so I worked out alone. I went with bottom position bench press and couldn't press shit today. My shoulders were hurtin', my form was breaking down, the pinched nerve in my neck was killing me. All in all a crappy session. Now i will be upset about it the whole day.


Posted by: PreMier

What are you doing for the pinched nerve?

took it a little easy today. I have been pushing it for the past 8 weeks so I am going for more reps this time. The next 3 weeks I'll be training body parts with a freind of miine that is competing in her first figure show so I will train with her. It iwll be good for my body/joints to go with higher reps for a few weeks. then I am going into an olympic lifting cycle after that. I need to really rest my should up if I plan on doing snatches in four weeks (YIKES!!). Anyway, squats felt easy. 295 felt like peanuts on my back. SLDL felt okay too. Step ups are never any fun but we had to do them. Calf raises...whatever.

hahaha, no light days for me. I will back off the intensity a little bit but I am not going to train light by any means. Probably go with anywhere from 85-70% of my 1RM for most exercises and even go as low as 90-95% on main lifts (squats, deads, bench).

overhead felt good today, as did pullups. I did think 225 would feel as light as it did after the other exercises but the bar moved fast and with easy. None of the sets were to failure and this was the first time I have done full ROM benching (not counting speed work becasue it is so submaximal) in around 8 or 9 weeks since I have been doing floor presses and bottom position bench presses instead. The pace was really fast this workout. My trinaing partner puked again as we were moving you go I go on everythign except overheads since we were taking about 2min. rest between sets there. By the time I got to barbell curls and pullpvers I had nothing left. Shrugs were easy, no wraps, overhand grip...ofcourse. Finished with some cardio today just to make sure my heart still works lol. Was a pretty good workout I must say.


Posted by: PreMier

Damn, thats a lot of weight on overhead presses


Posted by: JerseyDevil

Impressive overhead presses P!


Posted by: P-funk

thanks guys.

well, I didn't want to mention it.......not even speak of it.......i am so upset/scared of what had ahppened today durning those overhead presses.......durning my third set (195/2) something happend to my left knee. I was pressing when all of a sudden there was this small give. Nothing crazy, I didn't loose my balance, just a little give in the knee....and (I don't even what to say it), a small "pop" sound. I completed the set adn felt okay, no pain, no swelling, nothing. HMM......well, the rest of the workout my knee flet kind of weird, like something was out of place, something wasn't right. An hour after the workout I was eating with my training partner and I said "ya know, my knee feels a little weird. I did something to it when I was pressing I think. there was a little pop." he stopped eating, looked at me and said "yeah, I heard that. I didn't want to say anything if you didn't."


I am so upset right now. I hope I am wrong but I think I tore my meniscus.


Posted by: PreMier



How serious is a miniscus tear?

the miniscus is a small little sack like buble that sits a top the tibial plataue and absorbs shock and provides a cusion between the tibia and the femur. No minisus, no cusion = bone on bone contact = pain, fraying of the bones and deformity.........FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!! Surgery with no health insurance!!!!!! I may as well do rehab along with my clients instead of training them. i am so upset.


Posted by: PreMier

Oh, I know what that is now. Instead of freaking out, maybe you should relax and see how it feels tomorrow. Can they see it with an x-ray, or would you need to get an MRI?


Posted by: P-funk

Relax? If it isn't the misniscus I am really scared it is my ACL!! I right now feel like I have no anterior stability in my knee!!!!

I would need an MRI.


Posted by: PreMier

Where you doing the presses with your knees locked? How could this happen?


Posted by: JerseyDevil

Hopefully you just strained one of the collateral ligaments. If it were the meniscus, or the ACL, I'm pretty sure your knee would be very painful and swollen right now.


Posted by: P-funk

Originally Posted by PreMier

yes, my knees were locked which makes me think that it may be the miniscus and not the acl, however if my knees could have had a slight bend in them.....I usually bend slightly when I am going through the eccentric so that I can absorb the force better. The meniscus could have torn because of the compressive force being placed on it and a slight shift in weight to that side....

Not neccessarily, the ACL has no blood supply so swelling wouldn't be there. the menicus could cause some swelling but not always depending on the tear. If it were my MCL then yes because that is the only ligament with a steady blood supply (also the reason why it is the only one that can repair itself without surgery). But to tear my LCL or MCL would require some sort of external force like a blow to the knee. Hopefuly I just pulled an abductor.......but, something tells me, as much as I don't want to say it....I know what I did.


Posted by: P-funk

F*ck it, I am going to bed. I am so stressed out right now.


Posted by: Jodi

Ouch I'm sorry to hear that Funky. I know you don't have health insurance you really need to go to an ortho. Most doctors accept payment plans. Please at least have it looked at.


Posted by: M.J.H.

Damn man, sorry to hear about your knee. I really hope that everything turns out okay, good luck with it.


Posted by: MaxMirkin

Sorry to hear this, Patrick. I really hope it turns out to be nothing bad.

Hey JD, I hope you are right for his sake, but I don't like the pop that the knee made.
Funkmeister, you need to see a doctor ASAP man, you dont want to hurt it more than it is.....
I'll shoot a little prayer your way tonight.....


Posted by: Var

Damn, Patrick! Sorry to hear about your injury. Any updates?


Posted by: Monolith

I'm sure its nothin... my knee's make weird noises all the time, and im still goin.

Just keep an eye on it. You'll be fine, P.


Posted by: P-funk

thanks fot the well wishes.

I walked into the ER today because I had some serious swelling behind the knee and pain this morning. The doctor there looked at my knee. I asked her for an MRI and she said the don't do emergency room MRIs. She had me flex and extend my knee, my extension was lacking a bit (could be because of the swelling). She had me raise up on my toes and go back on my heels. She the grab my leg and grab behind my knee and tried to pull it forward an dpush it backward and side to side. She said that my stability was really good. She said if I tore my meniscus completely then I would be in some serious pain (yeah, no shit!!). She said that I may have a micro tear on my meniscus or a small hamstring tear which is causing the swelling. She said to rest it for 4 days and see how bad the pain is. If it is still there i need to see the orthopedic surgen, get an mri..etc. She said if it is a micro tear it will heal pretty quickly. So I will wait until next friday to train legs and see how I feel. I really hope she is right...the unfortunate thing is that she doesn't have MRI eyes. I like to be sure about things like this, ya know.

Posted by: P-funk

I know I know.....thanks guys. It is just one of those things. If it happend to any of yoyu I would say take time off to rest. But i can't say the same thing for myself when it happens. It si just that adrenaline rush that takes over. the feeling that I have to do something.

yeah the doctor says i'm fine..stupid muthafucka.fine my ass.I am taking saliva tests to measure adrenal and cortisol levels, which i am paying for out of my own pocket. I am also going to a GI specialist as soon as i make an appointment.i'm also awaiting more blood results. in the meantime, i realized i might be allergic to gluten because of the horrid reaction i have been getting to oatmeal and bread. mouth feels like pins and needles..sores all over..tongue is turning white. can't stop eating. have to take a semester off skool.pure hell..That is why i would rather be in ur shoes.

thanks, today I feel okay.....I even tried to squat my body weight just to see how I felt and that was fine and then I was demonstrating squats to a new client and I got under the 45lb bar and squated that with no pain either. The problem with a meniscus tear is just becasue there is no pain now doesn't mean it wont come at the end of next week, after a week of bone rubbing against bone.....we shall see how I feel next friday (leg day). Right now I feel okay though.


Jen- thanks

Hey man, I am so glad that it wasn't much...It scared me when you said it popped, then today as I was picking up my daughter both my knees popped..

what is there to say. I get really bored training body parts but I am doing it for the next 4 weeks to help my freind getttign ready for her figure contest. I saw a friend of mine that is a doctor (internal medecine) today and told him about my knee. he said that it sounds like a small meniscus tear, with out an MRI he can't be sure. But his advice was train upper body but NO legs for 6 weeks to allow it to heal.........damn!! Six weeks is so long. I will have no strenght or no legs at all after that. I am really depressed.


Posted by: atherjen

dont be down Patty! 6 weeks will fly by and once your able to hit those leggies aagain after they're ALL better, your strength will come right back!

Thats nice that your helping a friend get ready for her comp!

Injuries are part of competing/lifting - you won't lose as much as you think. Keep working hard!




Posted by: Monolith

6 weeks is a long time... and i know your probably already thinking "it feels great now, i bet i dont need to rest that long...." But just think how much it'll suck if you don't let it heal properly, and instead of having to just deal with regaining a bit of muscle you have to deal with a permanent injury that makes something like squatting painful or dangerous.

Just remember, muscle memory is on your side. Besides, this'll give you a fabulous opportunity to concentrate on your upper body. You've already got friggin gigantic legs... see if you can get your arms to the same size.


Posted by: P-funk

I know, I hear ya man. It sucks but it would suck more if I could never train legs heavy again.

Yes, so keep that in mind when you are about to cave in before the 6 weeks.

Well here's to a full and complete recovery!

Funny how I'm in the opposite position. Legs only, no upper body for who knows how long . I would rather be in your position, assuming a full recovery for both of us.

Damn. Damn. Damn.

You'll get over this. Keep your head up and be strong.

Remember how I told you about that person that keeps bugging me on AIM? The one constantly asking how much they should weigh? Do you think its a coincidence that there is a post here now? http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...ad.php?t=35840

Why are you chatting on AIM with 14 year old girls?


Posted by: PreMier

Nice try SF

I keep getting IM's from this person on AIM. Same question and different name(I block them) all the time. I usually bitch about it to Patrick, because he is on when I get them. I asked if it was him, bit he denies it.


Posted by: Monolith

LMAO

Patrick likes to pretend he's a 14 year old girl online.

Wow, this was an absolute terrible day. I need to vent and this is my journal so I will vent:

So I had to go down to register for a class to day at the college so I can get underway and start working towards a masters. I have all my papers with me.....high school diploma, college transcritps, immmunization records. The girl puts me in the system and tells me to take my immune records to the infirmary and hand them in so that they can put me into the system and allow me to register for class. GREAT!! So i go up there, waite in a long, long line. I get to the front, the guy at the desk looks at my papers and says "you're all good", he hands them to the girl next to him and says "Put this guy in the system so he can go and register." She looks at my papers and says "He requires a re-newed Meseals, Mumps and rumbella shot" the guy says "no he doesn't, it is on the second page, I looked. he is fine." The she starts arguing with him to the point that he gets frustrated and says "fine it is your call." So she looks at me and says "You need to get in line to get a shot, you are not up to date." Now I have to be back at work so I don't have time for that. So I had to leave and now go back some other time this wee, all the way downtown, through the mess, through the protesters to waite in line again!!! ARGH.....so I rush back up to work for a client that doesn't show!!! Damn it, could have just gotten all my stuff together if I knew he was going to pull that shit.

Now the kicker, to top off this bad day. My 7pm client shows up. he has been away on vacation for 2 weeks. A little background on this guy. I have known him/trained him for a long time. I love this guy, he is really good guy. Very caring, very generous, very funny. Last year he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, at a young age (45). they rate prostate cancer on a scale from 1-10, 10 being the most dangerous. He got an 8. So today I walk over to him and he is warming up on the bike and he looks so bummed out. He starts telling me that he just got out of the doctors office and they told him that they have to do radiation and more sugery. Friday he goes for a bone scan to see if it spread to there. They said if everything works out he has a 50% chance he may live 5 years. he has young kids and everything. He is looking down and trying not to cry infront of me and I am trying not to cry infront of him. I am so upset, he is such a good guy....It is just a bullshit situation.


Posted by: gwcaton

Wow ! Makes my day seem like the best of days . Sorry to hear about all the bad luck . Especially your client with cancer. I can't begin to imagine the emotions.


Posted by: JerseyDevil

Damn Patrick.... sorry to hear about your bad luck, and about your friend. Most of us have so much to be thankful for, and don't realize it. But when someone close to you gets really sick, it puts life in perspective.

I hope today is better P-funk.

No, just going to take one class this semester, although the way it looks like things are going i will be taking no classes this semster now. If that is the case I will go part time and take more classes next semester as i will hopefully have more $$$.


Posted by: Jodi

I can't believe that you have to show immunization charts for part time classes. I go to school part time and I've never had to do any of that.

I hope everything works out and you can get into class ok.

I know, to take one class. the thing that really pisses me off is that my charts are right and the office secretary is saying I can't register when the guy in charge says I am okay. Then she took my charts and said "Well, we are just going to keep these until you come back and get a shot or prove that you have gotten one". Liek I am going to take them outside and forge them....give me break!! I was so mad at the women for wastin gmy time.

Hey Funk, first of all, the knee seems to be behaving well if you were able to make a line at school things have to be looking up.
Are you sure you dont live in Miami and go to FIU (my old school)?
It's very funny that my school used to pull the same crap with me when I was going to school. I thought that was localized to FIU only...you know the assholes who decide that they have to be antagonistic. By the way, you are too nice, I would have told her where to stick her needle (Yeah, I'm a freaking outspoken Cuban when I'm in a bad mood ).
Also, and I have to say this, you are a very kind hearted individual and I wish I had you training me. No bullshit chief. You seem to care for your customers and nobody nowadays has such a good relationship his customers.
I am very sorry that your friend/customer is going thru this and I do pray that he'll be Ok. I have my own kids and just the thought of not being able to see them anymore and leaving them on a bind, is what got me to work out and lose weight...Thinking of what this guy is going thru really shrinks my heart...
I hope all turns around for you....

I work like 3 blocks from it. Get to see these underage-looking girls walking to and from there every day. Not a bad selection, if you play your cards right.

Patrick - Sorry you had such a bad day.

I agree with Velvet that if that guy can still get to the gym, then what excuse do we have. There's a guy who comes into my gym in a wheelchair. He was in a car accident a few years ago and will never walk again, but he still comes in and works out. My workouts really seem a lot easier after seeing him come in.


Hang in there Patrick. Tomorrow will be better.

Once when I was 20 I decided I wanted to really bulk up so I was trying to eat 6000-7000cals a day. Like pounds of pasta we are talking. I also was eating a pund of brocclie per day at then time. This lasted about 10 days and left me with diarrhea for a month!!


Posted by: PreMier



I found a greek restraunt here that has all you can eat pasta for 4$. I think I will go on saturdays and pig out once I get back in the gym

Wokring out at 8pm is tough. LOL. I feel weak as hell at that hour and my workout reflects it. I am used to working out between 11 and 1 o'clock when I am the strongest. Probably because I wake up at 4:30 everyday. So, I was disapointed.

Guess I will post my diet again. It appears that oats were the carb of choice:

1c oats

also countles handfuls of peanuts as one of my clients brought me a bag of homemade peanuts from Virginia claiming that they were the best peanuts ever. They are damn good. I don't know how many I ate nor do I care. The important thing is that I ate them.

p- I buy them at Vitamin shop

shutupandtra1n- I hear ya! This is the first week in about 2 years taht I went back to trainin in the evening!! I am really used to the mid afternoon time. But I promissed my freind I would train with her the last 4 weeks before her contest so I have to suck it up. Why are you up at 4? Are you a trainer also?

No training anyone but myself... I work at 9:30am so I wake up at 4 so I can make all my food, eat breakfast, watch morning news and be @ the gym by 6. I trained at 8 pm for almost 2 yrs. Now in the morning I do so much better. Frees up my nights too. There's a vitamin shoppe by me. It's not too bad if you need something and can't wait. HELL, it's better than GNC


Posted by: BritChick

Hey P-funk... I hear ya on training evenings.
I used to train with my husband at night but when I got into pre-contest I switched to mornings... I am way stronger and have far better workouts earlier in the day.


Posted by: P-funk

Gold card week at GNC can't be beat but they stopped carrying the Prolab lean mass matrix MRPs so I have to walk around the corner to vitamin shop.

yeah, when I used to work office jobs I'd always wake up and train at either 5 or 6 am because I hate working out at night so much. Plus it is to much of an annoying meat market in the evenings. Guys trying to pick up chicks and everyone in the way and pissing me off.

A freind of mine is working on his masters in Exercise Science and he did a whole paper on Cicadian rythm and optimal training time for athletes. He showed that the greates time for them to train was in the mid afternoon 2-4pm. So, that is assuming that they are waking up at normal hours 8-10am. Which makes sense as to why I am strongest between 11-1, because my waking hours are so early that 11-1 feels like late afternnon to me...lol.

I get up at 6:00 am, and workout around 1:00 pm. I do have good workouts then. Over the years, I've also done 5:30 am, 7:30 am, 5:00 pm, and 6:00 pm workouts. Midday is the best, but I think you can get used to any time of the day.

Pretty soon (hopefully) I'll be back on a regular schedule, but it is going to suck to get up at 5:30 am and workout at 6:00 pm. That is friggin peak time at my gym, and I'll be tripping over people left and right...

Oh, ya, right, sorry. Your knee! How's it feeling, any better?


Posted by: P-funk

feels okay. someimtes it clicks and pops, and sometimes it hurts a bit. may need to bite the bullet and break the bank and dorp $1000 on an MRI to be sure I know what is going on in there.

Hey Patrick, how you doing? Sorry about that crack yesterday. Looking over it, I see it was mean, not funny. That's something I try to avoid these days. You just took me by surprise, cause not too many people have ever actually asked me to insult them. Hope we're cool dude, cause once I total Var's fisher-price truck I'll need someone to protect me from his girlish rage.

You need to train a doctor so you can get some free exams when you need 'em !!

I train a few doctors and they are the ones that told me to stay off of it for 6 weeks. I also re-hab clients for one of the top Orthopedic surgeon in the state. I would talk to him but he is not in town this week. I will see him when he gets back.
