HELL Yeah! That's the attitude I'm thinking of splitting it into 2 workouts.

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...

Hey Rock! I dont mean this in a critical way at all, but I'm guessing you could squat a lot more than you are judging by your other weights. Do they make you nervous??? You move some nice weight...I bet you're stonger on those than u think. Just my .02.

But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

He has scoliosis(sp?). Its a curvature of the spine, plus his quads dont seem to be suffering. I think they are one of his strong points.

Thanks Premier!

Yeah, I have scoliosis Var and I really shouldn't be doing sqauts and haven't done'em in a loooong time. So I just need to go really nice and slow with the weight or my back starts to do funky things But I still like doing them even at that weight, I definately feel it in my legs!

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...

Var

Sorry Rock. Didnt know. I brought it up because I used to be terrified to be under that much weight and have to stabilize it without a spotter.

PreMier: The fact that his quads arent suffering is exactly why I thought he could do more.

Sorry again! My bad.

No problem buddy! Doesn't bother me, I'm just happy I can do squats and stuff. But that's why all my posing looks funky, my back is messed up. I need to learn how to compensate for that.

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.

Very admirable that you work through your condition and continue to make progress!

Thanks man. Honestly I never even think about it except when posing or something. I just hope I'm not a hunchback cripple when I'm 50

Well, hopefully the fact that you take care of yourself will prevent any chance of that.

And your doing just fine

Hey bud... just checked out your workout, looking good! Keep working at it hard. Oh, and as to squats, as long as you concentrate on good form and staying low weights I think you'll be fine. Of course, I'm not doctor... sooooo, if you have a hunchback at fifty, lets say I buy you a beer and we'll call it even *cringe*

Seriously though, take good care of your body, it has to last you the long haul

Oh, and thanks for dumping me as your VR BB partner... biatch

Rocco32

Thanks Jodi!

Hey Dr. Eggs! How about you buy me a beer regardless Are you just now noticing the VBB thing? Maybe that's why It didn't look like you were doing anything and my ratings kept getting lower. If your ready to be serious again I could take you back under my wing!

Eggs

Hey Rock - Nah, I noticed your scandelous break up with SexyHex a few weeks ago I just kept forgetting to bitch at you about it Yeah, for some reason my char was having a hard time too and I couldnt really make any gains while we were partners... my guys doing lots better now, back in the top 5% Theres some whacky stuff with that system still... because he jumped from 20-30% to 5% in one day Either way, I'm not sure if using partners is the way to go since there could be some bugs. Thats the only thing I can think of that would have been that damaging to both of our playas.

I'll see you on the stage baaaaaby!

Squats are coming up nicely

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Thanks Iain, I still feel real unstead with form. Especially as the weight goes up. I'm afraid I lean to far forward from the waist at the bottom to get lower than parrellel.

What exercises do you think is causing the most Stress? Straight bar Curls??

Why not see if you can change up an exercise?

Hope your arms feel better
