Nice Rock.... there's good gains there and alot in the right places.
Dont worry about feeling small muscle wise.... i still feel like that..... all the time.... its just the way you see yourself.

Rocco32 · 12-10-2003, 02:38 PM

Thanks man! Ever feel like it's not worth it because no matter how hard you try, your body looks the same sloppy self and you just don't have the genetics to change that?

Rissole · 12-10-2003, 02:42 PM

...... but keep working at it mate, consistancy pays off!! I figure the amount of time and effort i put in not to mention the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!
I can see why guys use the gear.....

Rocco32 · 12-10-2003, 02:46 PM

Most definately!

Rissole · 12-10-2003, 02:48 PM

Time for work.... have a great day bud

Rocco32 · 12-10-2003, 02:55 PM

You too!

Rissole · 12-10-2003, 04:33 PM

The thing i do like is how fit i feel

Rocco32 · 12-10-2003, 06:34 PM

Yeah, I guess I don't always feel fit. Especially with the tendonitis and all. Oh well, with time...

Rissole · 12-11-2003, 03:51 AM

Is your tendonitis like tennis elbow??
I got that in my right elbow....

Rocco32 · 12-11-2003, 04:15 AM

Yeah, I got 2 different kinds I guess. One is in both elbows, and the other runs down the lateral aspect of my forearms to my wrist. Got an appointment with an ortho Dr. on Tue. May get a Corticosteriod shot.

**Jodi** · 12-11-2003, 08:13 AM

Meals?

Rocco32 · 12-12-2003, 08:21 AM

I'll post some meals soon Jodi!

Rocco32 · 12-12-2003, 08:21 AM

Thinking about dropping Carbs down a bit though.

Rocco32 · 12-12-2003, 08:22 AM

Today was a horrible W/O!! Had to end it early because of my elbow

I'm soooo upset! I don't want to take time off from lifting again.

Rocco32 · 12-12-2003, 08:27 AM

Shoulders and Tri's Power-

Hammer MP, 4 sets-
200x6
220x6
240x4 (started to feel it in my elbow)
180x6

Side Lat Raise- 0 sets-
30x0, started to lift and my elbow just crumpled. So much pain!

, so moved to Machine Side lat raise where your arms are at 90* angle, think that works side delts well?

Side Lat Machine, 3 sets-
140x6
155x6
160x4

Reverse Pec Deck, 3 sets- again hurt elbow
150x6
157.5x6
165x6

Dips, 1 set-
BW+55 x 6
BW+65 x 0 - elbow actually gave out on this, landed on my feet though!

CG Bench- 0 sets
Tried 165, couldn't bring it down.

I am feeling like crap right now!!

Have you tried strapping it?? Strap elbows and wrists..... Does it hurt to shake someones hand?? That gets me, it's actually the tendons that reach from your wrist to your elbow that cause the pain.

Rocco32 · 12-13-2003, 08:37 AM

I've got an appointment with ortho on Tuesday. He says it doesn't seem like traditional tennis elbow, but we'll get more in depth on Tue. I'm just so tired of this...

No, I haven't tried strapping it because I don't want to impede blood flow to the area.

Rissole · 12-13-2003, 03:50 PM

If you can get a set of elastic straps with velcro you only need to strap for the set...

Rocco32 · 12-13-2003, 04:04 PM

I might give it a go Ris. I'll see what Ortho has to say. He asked me to really rip it up between now and then!

Rocco32 · 12-13-2003, 04:04 PM

BTW everyone. I'm sick!

Rissole · 12-13-2003, 04:11 PM

Common mate i'll put up the word for ya this morning ok... i gotta go church starts in an hr and i aint had breky

Rocco32 · 12-13-2003, 04:19 PM

Thanks man!

Rissole · 12-13-2003, 09:10 PM

Too much whoring and not enough diet postin...

Rocco32 · 12-13-2003, 09:16 PM

SShhh, Jodi will hear you!!!

Rocco32 · 12-13-2003, 09:16 PM

Let's just say diet has not been great, too much stress and been down lately.

Rissole · 12-13-2003, 09:32 PM

Consistancy no matter what bud....
You need to get in some good worship tomorrow....
That reminds me,

i still gotta burn your cd

Rocco32 · 12-13-2003, 09:36 PM

Been awhile since I've been to Church. And I don't like the ones around here.

Rissole · 12-13-2003, 09:38 PM

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
