Posted by: DeadBolt

You all know who I am and what has happened but for those new people here we go in a sentence or two:

Last year tore my left rotator cuff....took a long time to rehab....got better little by little....the better I was with the shoulder the worse my health got and I was pretty much sick all year long....now I'm tired of that!

I wont be setting any major goals or any date specific time frames b/c that always seems to get me in trouble. Only thing I will be doing is trying to regain my strength and some mass I have lost these past few months....then we'll see from there as far as bf% goes. Don't plan on being under 15% in a while...no desire for lean muscle just pure mass and strength for now. So once the bf% gets in the mid teens I'll just start bulking again! Got some major things coming up I will need them for.

Also looking into within the next year or two competing in some sort of triathalon/marathon/5k race thingy majiger. Don't know why but I think that is very bad ass right now and since I don't want to go to crazy with the shoulder there is plenty of room for cardio LOL.

Diet I will do on my own....I wont be posting any of that though it will be my own doing b/c it will be changing alot!

Eh no big some day someone will design a new one! If I had the skills I would but for now I'll have to fill the void with something else!


Posted by: Seanp156

Full deadlifts on rep range week eh? Have fun with that... Personally, I'd do full deads on power week and rack deads on rep range, but that's just me.

If I actually had the time I could try to design a new team mofo logo by hand...... However, school's a bitch...


Posted by: Devlin

Just stopping in, I will look at the workout in ore detail a little later today

DB's on a rampage. Clear a path. Haha.

LOL yea well don't clear it just yet I have a few weeks to get back into lifting I'm still very weak!

Upper body:
BB B/o Row*2
DB Row*2
Flat BB Press*2
HS Incline Press*2
HS Milt Press*2
Cambered Bar Curl*2
Vbar Pushdown*2
Situps*1
Hyper Extentions*1

10 minutes walk on treadmill....tried running but my lungs weren't up to it. I guess that cold is still in there!

Well it was a real shitty w/o but wha can I expect! Just gonna take time for me to get back into this shit AGAIN!


Posted by: Triple Threat

For a first workout in three weeks and still not feeling 100%, that looks like an excellent start. It's tough running with a cold.


Posted by: Burner02

what he said. Just keep the ego checked at the door and go up from where u are now.
Maybe the cardio will help break up that crap in the lungs and help clear it out?

Nice wo Dead

you'll be back in prime form in no time


Posted by: Pylon

Yay! New journal!

I was wondering how long your rehab was going to last....


Posted by: DeadBolt

TT-Thanks bud! Yea I was at a very low intensity with that run and I was struggling. We'll see friday how I am!

Burns-Que pasa mi amigo! I always leave the ego at the door you know that! Little by little my lungs will get better for cardio! I just hope soon b/c I almost miss doing it LOL!

Arch-Thank you my friend! I always appreciate it! Yea the new name is growing on me LOL!

Gary-Hey bud! Yea I hope I get into the swing of things soon! Todays workout actually made me feel worse mentally heh. Real eye opener to how much strength you lose when in total bed rest. Now all of those studies I didn't pay attention to in class are coming back to bite me in the ass!

Py-Welcom my friend! Yea I felt it was time....even though rehab will be the rest of my life b/c I didn't get surgery. But I'm am willing to deal with it!


Posted by: DeadBolt

Today was a very fast and intense w/o! I wasn't going to go b/c I have had so many things to due lately and today was the only day I had this week to do them with being sick and working so much. So I got everything I needed to get done and had like 15 minutes to spare so I made the best of it.

Legs:
Triple circuit x 3 no rest between each circuit
BW squats*25
Leg Press*12
Leg ext*10
~~varied the weights on the ext/press....I wasn't feeling bb squats and the bw squats worked perfect. You may not think they are hard but shoot for the 25-35 rep range and they are killer! Not to fast not to slow but with alot of power explode out from the hole and almost throw yourself off the ground! ATF of course!

Superset x 2 no rest between supersets
Lying leg curls*10
sitting leg curls*10

Time: 8 minutes

Legs were cramping before I even left the gym! I'm gonna be paying for it tonight and tomorrow lemme tell you!

I see you are giving Arch a run for his money on the short, but intense workouts. BW times 25+ reps can be killer on the body and you are going to be loving life tomorrow


Posted by: Burner02

do they have that 'thing' in your gym: it's just a flat peice of metal with a back plate and round pad to hook your feet into?
(toes go under the pads, heels up against the back plate)
and u can do BW squats there? 'sissy squats' are the name I think..but nothing sissy about them...

I just got out of work and am heading to the firehouse....damn this snow! We are hoping we wont go onstandby but I have a feeling if we get the amount of snow they are saying we def will! So it will be a long night at the fire dept hoping nothing burns down.

Hope everyone enjoys the snow!


Posted by: Seanp156

You've got snow eh??? I wish we had some... I had it when it's cold and there's no snow... When's your next workout?


Posted by: Devlin

Stay safe there DB. We got snow here last night and today, but the 3-4 inches we got melted away when it warmed up'd this afternoon.


Posted by: Archangel

Your in my Thoughts and Prayers my Friend, hope your weekend is going Great, hows things???


Posted by: CowPimp

Nice little circuit there. BW squats are no joke if you throw them in the midst of a circuit like that.


Posted by: Pylon

Heya bolt. Stay safe in all that white stuff.


Posted by: DeadBolt

Sean- You are out of your mind I HATE snow with a passion! There is nothing good that comes from it one bit!!!

Dev- Being safe is no fun heh....Oh we got alot more then 3 inches....we got about 16" and every inch of it was more miserable then the last.

Arch- Hey man thanks! Yea my weekend sucked in no better terms. I was on standby all weekend and killed my body having to shovel...back especially!

Pimp- Oh yea man I'm feelin them BW squats even more the second day after LOL!

Py- Revert to devs first comment LOL. Its no fun being safe! But snow is no fun either!


Posted by: DeadBolt

Yea so I feel like I'm about to die!!!!!

We were on standby all night and we got about 16" in total. All I can say is there was ALOT of shoveling, bad food, and no sleep heh!

Well any hoots my gym wasn't open today so that was a no no but I'll have plenty of days to make it up. I'm debating doing deadlifts of any sort tomorrow for back day b/c my lower back is so damn sore!


Posted by: Archangel

Ohhhhhhhhhh man, I would definatly leave the Deads out my Friend, your back is fried I'm sure!!!

Damnit posted but this forum sucks and it didn't go through here we go again!

2-13-06 Back/Delts

Back:
BB Row
135*6
145*4
155*4

CG Pulldown
150*6*2
165*4

CG Cbl Row
165*6
180*4*2

Delts:
DB Milt Press
45s*6
50s*5
55s*3+1

DB Cheat Lateral
30s*6*3

Single Arm Cbl Face Pull
100*4 to heavy
80*6
90*6

Rehab
Cardio 1 hour walk

Back was a crappy w/o....had no power in it I guess from all the shoveling...delts felt awsome nice and strong!

I tried abz but that wasn't happening. Massive pain in the groin area.

Story: Last week I was lifting a patient up several steps and pulled something in the groin area. Not sure what it is maybe my inner hip abductors, groin area. Its in the hip socket groin crease. I dont have any doctors around I would be able to go to b/c its not a big thing in my area.

This week I will change my routine around....take legs out....edit all my compund movements and such. Just gonna work my way around it try my hand at some very light cardio and try to ice it without freezing my manhood off

EDIT: Just looked at some anatomy pictures I have and where the pain is ranging from and what I can palpate it seems to be the Sartorius. Could be a strain not sure of the level but the tensil strength is very bad. I tried some trunk twists with my feet planted and could to about rep two before the pain was just rediculous. I don't know exactly how bad it is b/c the muscles around compensate for all my other movements and b/c its such a small muscle I'm not sure how bad it is.


Posted by: Archangel

Good lookin w/o Brother Bolt!!! Hope your injury is okay my Friend!!! I read about all that snow you guys got, the paper said it was 26.9", a record!!! Holy cow my Friend, I don't envy you!!!

Yes mam indeed it did! Back gets sore when sitting at my comp for to long but other then that I'm fine. Once this groin issue subsides I will be able to get back at it!

Honestly the only thing I am looking forward to is my circuit training....I love that stuff!


Posted by: DeadBolt

No training today. I didn't even bother with cardio....I dont want to push the issue! Tomorrow I will probably do chest and something I'm not sure at all.

Friday will be arms I guess and next week I will do the same cutting legs and circuit training out. Hopefully by next week I will recover completely!

I dont really like v-day to be honest with you. As a kid I worked in a resturaunt b/c its such a busy day so i never enjoyed it then. Then a few years ago my grandmother died v-day morning.

History/Story:
When I moved to jersey as a little boy my father worked to much to raise me...owning his own resturaunt and all...so my grandmother raised me. I spent 6 day out of the week at my grandmothers house...slept there ate there did everything there. Did this for about 5 or 6 years. Then one day I was actually with my father spending some time with him when my grandmother called. She was alone and wasn't feeling to good and wanted to know if I wanted to come over for dinner. I responded no b/c I wasn't feeling good either and I wanted to spend some time with my father. That was Feb 13 night. Little did I know those were the last words I'd ever speak to her again b/c as I went to sleep she got deathly ill and was rushed to the hospital. At 7:15 am the next morning she died of internal bleeding. I would never again get to say good bye or I love you to the only person who had ever taken the time to show me life and raise me. It took me a good 3 years to get over her death and I still blame myself for it b/c maybe if I had been there I could have picked the signs up sooner....gotten her to the hospital sooner and she could still be alive today.

So in a nutshell I hate that damn day. Every year since I have gone to church every v-day morning to light a candle and say a prayer. I do not really celebrate it and it has caused some downfalls in relationships in the past but luckily my current girlfriend is to good to me so she understands.

And hey in time my friend the universe will unfold and all will come together for you....just give it time. A girl would be lucky to have you!


Posted by: DeadBolt

God I feel like a decrepit old man. My warm ups, stretching, rehab, and cool downs take longer then my damn workouts!

Chest:
Flat DB Press
60s*6
70s*4
70s*3.5 drop 55s*4

Incline Smith Press
135*5*2

Dips
BW*6*2

DB Pullovers
70*6*2

Rehab
Slow Walking Cooldown/ice-groin


Nothing special....was happy with the dips finally got a solid 6 with my own body weight. Gonna keep going until I can get 12 then add some weight!

I should not have done Db presses today b/c of the walking with the extra weight and my hurt groin but I wasn't feeling bb pressing at all so I just said fuq it. It bothered me a little but I was very carefull with it!


Posted by: Burner02

Don't wory, DB- most people don't like it. Sorry to hear what happened to your grandmother. I had a friend who was 'claimed' by cancer while I was in Europe in the military. My last conversation with him was me yelling at him. (he wasn't sick then, or didn't let me know he was)
Not as close to me as your grams was to you, but I know how you feel about not getting to say good bye...

I concure I love doing legs. I learned to love it ever since I tore my rotator b/c that was all I could do so I was working legs twice a week. For a few months. It was great LOL.

But you will notice my favorite workout of all are my back w/o's so i always put a little more effort into them! But give me a week or so and I'll be throwin some wing dingers into this journal heh!

I can relate to you and your Grandma. I was the same way with mine, but she got sick right before Christmas one year, didn't get to come home for the holiday and died a coule days after New Year's. It put a huge damper on Christmas and it something that haunts every Christmas now.

Glad to see you back n the gym.

Workouts are looking good. Sounds like a bitch of a snow you got too! We got some down in MD, maybe a foot or so. It wasn't that cold though, so the first few inches just melted anyway.


Posted by: DeadBolt

Burner - LMAO you better watch out you dont overtrain....we wouldn't want that now.

Sean - You got that right!

Arch - Thank you my friend your words are always an insperation! Time heals all wounds just gotta keep on truckin right!

Dev - Yea it always is tuff around the holidays but its the inevitable! And I to am glad to see me back in the gym! LOL I missed it!

Pimp - Yea man we got alot of snow but its melting down little by little. I can't wait until its all gone forever....global warming couldn't come fast enough for me!

Ouch!

Just got back from an early morning firecall and I am to sore LOL! Doing chest wen, chest and tri's are sore. Then had to lift a patient up 3 flights of steps at 250lbs just about every other muscle you can think of is sore!

Oooofa! Well no sleep and extra sore this workout should be fun! Off to shower and eat so I can put the title of my journal to truth!


Posted by: DeadBolt

Not to happy with todays workout.....body was very sore and I didn't get much sleep.

And I just wasn't in the mood to keep in the 4-6 rep range so I was struggling to but all I wanted was to drop the weight and hit the 8-10 rep range. So I'm all over the map with the reps.

Bi's:
DB Curl
40s*6
45s*3 drop 30s*8

BB Curl
70*8
70*6

DB Hammer Curl
35s*6
40s*4

HS Preacher Curl
70*6

Tri's:
DB Skull Crusher
35s*6*3

DB French Press
65*8*2

Vbar Pushdown
110*8
130*6

Standing Cable Crunch (only ab work I can do with the hurt hip)
Rehab
5 minute cooldown walk

All in all just another page in the book. Another week down and next week will be worse. All isolation movements and machines!! I hate machines but I need this hip to heal so no dealing with DB's or BB's!

Hey I better get a kick back it started in my journal


Posted by: DeadBolt

Slept in to late today everyone no gym!

I had a big venison dinner last night...my father a bunch of friend and I always hold an annual venison dinner. 10 varieties of venison wild turkey pheasent and what ever wild game we get. This year we had about 140 people attend which was the biggest year ever.

Well I had 4 hours of sleep prior to sunday....I was cooking all morning and afternoon then serving all these people. I was running up and down a 30 step flight of steps non stop for like 2 hours. Feet were killing me b/c I had boots on not my running sneakers.

At the end of the night after everyone left we ate then started with the sangria. I never got drunk or anything just was so tired from the whole day and not getting any sleep I passed out and never set my alarm clock. So today is a rest day I'll go tuesday, wen and friday!

Ok, I am somewhat lazy, but the pot, drinkng, and rap music.... not so much .

I do love going to the gym though, so am I still lazy? Buying 6 months of whey isn't being lazy, it's being smart... Makes it a lot more convienant, not to mention cheaper .

Today was an off day! I was so busy with everything I had to do that I didn't get into the gym until late!!! I had to work in with every machine b/c no one uses free weights---see thats why I ALWAYS use free weights!

Back:
Vbar Pulldown
120*8
135*6
120*8
120*6

HS Horz row
120*10*3

HS Low Row
140*12*2

HS CG Cbl Row
135*13
120*14

Delts:
Smith Milt Press
115*8
135*6*2 PR!!

Rev Pec Dec
75*12*2

HS Side Lateral-1arm at a time
80*15*2

Overall a decent workout if i didn't have to work in with everyone! Hit a PR on MP's! It was hard to not go in and do my BB rows and all that good stuff I love but I think I did an excellent job staying in my rep range without knowing how much weight to use.


Posted by: Archangel

Excellent w/o Brother Bolt, fantastic PR, and HOLY Sh**!!! 80 pound laterals???


Posted by: Triple Threat

Damn! You've got some strong delts there!


Posted by: gwcaton

Nice wo Dead

Congrats on the PR and staying in your rep range


Posted by: Devlin

Great job there. I hate when you have to work in on a machine. It's why I frequently alter my workout order so I can avoid working in.


Posted by: DeadBolt

Arch - Thank you my friend! I don't think the weight transfers the way you are thinking. I find the pulley systems works oddly and I have the same amount of tension with 1 arm or two but it is more comfortable to lift uni rather then at the same time. I can focuse on the medial delts more rather then the traps/rhomboids/anterior delts/and arm posture,position,and pressure

TT - Heh I have always been strong with my side laterals....just one of those things I'm gifted with Refere to Archi's answer though.

Gary - Thanks GW! I was happy with the weights for Milt Press's...didn't think I'd get that high but my major accomplishment was staying in the rep ranges. I was very pleased!!

Dev - Thank you hun! Yes I HATE workin in with people thats why I have arranged my day so I can workout earlier in the day when there isn't a soul in the gym....if I had to lift this way ever day I would never be able to stick to a routine!

Liar! Hehe. That's cool. Whatever works for you.

By the way, I feel your pain on the machine usage. When I trashed my shoulder most leg exercises were a no go with free weights as I had no way to support the weight. God that was excruciating.

Great workout. Take it easy on the legs and before you know it the leg workouts will be back where they were.

We'll take it as a team effort

Yea I had the fire dept. dinner and my girlfriend came as well but today saturday I didn't get to see her. I'll get more on that in a minute.


Posted by: DeadBolt

WHAT A NIGHT!!!!

Well after being a bit hungover at work all day and only having 3 hours of sleep under my belt I went to my ambulance corp. to ride my duty shift! Had a drunk who was in pain so we brought him to the hospital...after that we get called out to a lady with troubled breathing. No biggy right. We get there she is hyper ventilating...medics come say she is ok and they get released.

Now we need to get her out of the house....OH YEA FORGOT TO SAY SHE WAS 400LBS+...so we decided to call the fire dept for a lift assist. We get bucket/stretcher combo set up for her and as we assist her up she collapses. Legs gave out. She wasn't looking very good. So we get her into the bucket and she still looked really bad. So as everyone was standing around doing nothing I go check on her only to find no pulse and she wasn't breathing!

My next words where priceless to all the people there....UH GUYS WE HAVE A BIG FUCKIN PROBLEM!!!...me and 4 other guys picker her up carried her down 10 steps and out of her house and I began CPR on her. I got the duty of compressions....45 minutes of compressions isn't easy.

Well wish it was a happy ending but she didn't make it. I feel bad we couldn't do more for her but she had no chance of living past tonight. It was just her time to go. I will never forget her face when I looked at her on the ground and realised what was happening....just an image burned into my mind forever. It wasn't my first code so I don't know why but her face has made an impression on me forever!

And for those of you who didn't enjoy the story b/c it was pretty and pink.....welcome to my life and the harsh reality of this world. This is the stuff people dont see day to day and this is the stuff us who go above and beyond have to deal with every day. So if you dont enjoy it I'm sorry but the truth does hurt and as much as everyone wants to think this stuff doesn't happenin it does and I'm there every day trying to save these people. So next time you see a fireman or an emt just think of me and what we really go through day in and out trying to save lives and maybe one day it may just be yours!

PS I will probably have to go to court for this b/c the family will try to screw me and my partners over trying to say it was our fault. So you see what we deal with? We try to save their lives and everyone else is trying to get a quick buck off of us b/c they are all pieces of shit.

Sorry very emotional night!

Hey DB---Rough weekend. There really isn't anything anyone can say that will make you feel better except that you have our support and thanks for what you do every day. Don't stress the possibility of a law suit. Just make sure you and your partner document everything little detail of the call. Sounds to me if the shit should fall on anyone it should be the medics who blew the call off basically. I know how you feel, after I worked 8 years at a level two trauma center (in southern NJ) I saw the good, the bad, and the ugly. The face I will never be able to erase from my mind is a 6 year old blond hair, blue eyed girl who drowned in a pool in nov while dad was playing S&M games

WoW DB I cannot imagine how I would react to that situation. Like Angel said, I am so grateful you and the others that do your job . And the fact that people would take you to court is just a sad commentary of the world we live in.
Best of luck to you and your crew , now and forever

Sounds like a rough night. But try to think of all the poeple who wouldn't be here if it weren't the work you guys put in each day.

It's already been said well by others, but just know the majority of folks are appreciative of your skills and services. I know I am.

Hey everyone Thank You Very Much!

You don't know how much it means to get some support from people! Ussually everyone is pissed b/c the person died and they give me grief! There were alot of people at the hospital who had no buisness being there and all they could say is we didn't do it right....these where normal folk who can't even tie their shoes telling me how to do my job....eh fuck off!

Well I know I'll end up going to court thats a given but there is nothing to get me or my crew on. We did nothing wrong. We brought her out of the house the safest and most secure way...all other options were conisder and attempted but her size was far to great for any of them.

So our only option was to bring her out this way and due to her size her air way was comprimised and I reacted on that immediatly....within seconds of realizing she was not breathing we began CPR and AED. I'm just glad I was there b/c if I wasn't there she would have been there for 10minutes before someone noticed her!

Key words...Due to her size Sorry this is going to sound very cruel but she was headed to an early grave regardless. You did all you could for her, but she stacked the odds against you by being obese. Knowing the area up the way I do, I'm not surprised they would sue. As I said before make sure everything is documented to cover your ass. WE support you regardless of the outcome because we know you did and will do everything in your power to help.

Wow, what a weekend DB. I hope the family doesn't try to sue you or anything. Although I know they probably won't win, there are laws in place to protect people in situations like that, the whole court scene and everything is a hassle. I hate people sometimes.

I don't think I could handle that job, although I'm sure when the converse happens (You bring someone back from a code) it is one of the best feelings in the world.
