This Boy's Life

Saturday Fever · 05-06-2004, 11:31 AM

2-3" off your chest would fall right in the 2 and 3 board range. Remember a 2x4 is actually 1.5x3.5, so a 1 board press is coming from 1.5" off your chest. 2 boards is 3", 3 boards is 4.5". All of which fall into what I would consider the lower portion of the full ROM.

Anything lower than a 1 board can be directly impacted with lats work, as done with the bentover rows, and with shoulder work, which I addressed.

PreMier · 05-06-2004, 04:37 PM

I have seen people use like a spongy block thing, and place it under their shirt. That way, it stays in one place. I have never done board presses. Do you try not to put too much weight(from bar) on the boards? Or can you "bounce" it?

Saturday Fever · 05-06-2004, 05:44 PM

The board is used in a touch and go fashion. There isn't a noticable pause on the boards, but you want to use them to break the eccentric-concentric chain, similar to box squats.

PreMier · 05-06-2004, 05:50 PM

Ok thx.

Nice to see floor presses man! I did these back when I was training on Westside and for whatever reason I absolutely loved them! I would just tough my elbows to the floor and explode up. Maybe I'll do them in the near future.

Morning SF

Have a good weekend!!

Saturday Fever · 05-07-2004, 10:12 AM

ME Sq/DL Day

Sweet, started the day off with an injury.

Box Squats (18" a few inches above parallel)
135x5
225x1
315x1
405x1
495x1
545xINJURY

Stepped down funny after taking my "backout steps." Came down on the side of my foot. Felt a crunch, foot is sprained and refuses to bear much weight. I wrapped it, took 2 Advil, and finished up.

Hyperextensions
4 sets of 20 with 50

Hamstring Curls
2 sets of 8 with 200

Abs
200

The doctor will see me at 11:30 this morning. I can still walk (with a pimp limp) so I'm assuming it isn't broke. Hoping, too.

Triple Threat · 05-07-2004, 11:05 AM

Sorry to hear about the injury, SF. How did you ever manage to rid yourself of the bar?

Saturday Fever · 05-07-2004, 11:08 AM

Put a step forward on my good foot and let it return to the rack. After unracking it's only about 3 baby steps back to get clearance for my stance, and luckily I didn't fall.

ncgirl21 · 05-07-2004, 11:28 AM

Hope you feel better soon!!

Saturday Fever · 05-07-2004, 12:49 PM

Sprained ankle and 3 toes. Pulled a handful of ligaments. This boy is going to be in a walking cast for 4 weeks.

PreMier · 05-07-2004, 04:04 PM

That sucks big time!

Monolith · 05-07-2004, 05:30 PM

Man, that sucks. I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago... but it was BOTH ankles. They only gave me a couple of those "air casts" though, ones you can take off at night.

I found that after 2 or 3 weeks, i could just use a regular ankle wrap (wrapped extra tight) and bear normal weight on it.

Saturday Fever · 05-07-2004, 05:35 PM

Yeah they referred me to a foot doctor, but they said they guessed about 4 weeks in the walking cast. Looks like I'll have to improvise things.

atherjen · 05-07-2004, 05:41 PM

OMG!!!!

I am soo sorry to hear that!! gosh!! thats terrible! I would be sooo mad!!
I hope that it heals fast!!

You got some interesting shit man. I really love reading your journal and monstar's. I havent seen nearly everything but this is something that is really fresh to me and I like it

greekblondechic · 05-11-2004, 08:32 PM

I always see ya in Jen's journal, so I thought I'd stop by and say hi

Sorry about your foot, I hope it feels better soon! I have to go to a foot doctor too, cuz I have weird arch pains when I run, wear heels, or stand on my toes!

I'd love to help you get into something similar when you're done with your commitments. It really is a lot of fun, and some of the weight you lift will shock you. It's a great routine to start with and grow from.

SF- those shrugs better have been sitting down and not using your foot!!

how is it feeling?

Saturday Fever · 05-12-2004, 12:55 PM

As long as I leave it wrapped and in the walking cast it feels fine. Whenever I unwrap my fot to get in the shower it hurts like hell after about 20 seconds. And that's with me babying it. With luck I'll be moving in the next couple weeks and my new room has a big ass tub so I could be clean and stay off my foot. We shall see.

M.J.H. · 05-13-2004, 07:19 AM

Hope that you heal up nicely SF. Are we still racing to a triple BW deadlift? I really need to stop gaining weight because now my triple BW deadlift is 675, ouch.

Upper body workout looks good man, keep it up.

Any estimated time for when your foot will be healed?

Saturday Fever · 05-14-2004, 01:34 PM

Foot doctor said 3-4 weeks, so now I'm looking at about 3 weeks to go. I'm going to see how it feels wrapped but out of the cast next week. I'll really be cutting it cl
