Yeah, I hear you. I have a week on each shift. Except I'm covering mids for someone during my reg day shift week. So right now it's been every other week i'm doing mids.

Soon as I get the money I plan to get a fitball! Only done push/pull for 2 days but I do feel like I'm getting more of a w/o than before. I think my body responds better to higher volume and frequency. Only time will tell though

Rissole · 08-28-2004, 04:07 AM

Too right onthe time will tell.
The only prob with fitballs is how much space they take up

Rocco32 · 08-28-2004, 05:46 AM

And the cat punctured the last 2 I had!

Rissole · 08-28-2004, 09:39 PM

Rocco32 · 08-28-2004, 10:48 PM

Hey AJ! Thanks, hope you had a great weekend too. I had a very tiring weekend. Worked 12 hour nights Sat and Sun. Got off work 6am Monday morning and had to be back at work by 1pm for another 8hr shift. Driving to work takes about 1hour

I haven't been to the gym now since Friday, it's driving me crazy! I tried this morning but I was soooooo worn out I slept until noon. Hopefully I'll be back on schedule tomorrow morning

Rissole · 09-01-2004, 02:37 AM

Stick with it buddy

you can dooooo eeetttt!! Schedules suck, just do stuff when you can

gwcaton · 09-01-2004, 07:46 AM

Did I just read in Riss' journal that you are doing a comp ?

Rocco32 · 09-01-2004, 07:58 AM

Yeah Ris, just sucks when I don't get to the gym for extended periods of time. Messes with me head you know?

Hey Gary. Yeah, I plan to do the comp I backed out of last year

I started out 12 weeks that time, this time I'll start dieting 16 weeks out. Hopefully that will make a difference.

Rissole · 09-01-2004, 08:03 AM

Yes i know, i hate just swapping a day and having to train on a Saturday....
Going to hit the hay, later my man

Rocco32 · 09-01-2004, 08:07 AM

Good night, have a good one! I'll get my new phones soon, then I'll give you a call!

Rack Deads are fun!! I just started doing them lately!! 335 x 4 is good weight!!!

I see why you are drained - you're doing 23 sets!!

Rocco32 · 09-01-2004, 02:37 PM

I like rack Deads better than full deads, that's for sure! I'm too lazy to bend ALL the way over, LOL! Today was lower volume too because I'm tired and needed to get ready for work

Rocco32 · 09-02-2004, 10:18 AM

Crap! I was going to go do HIIT this morning but I couldn't get out of bed again!

I'm not sleeping at night right now, by the time I do I'll be on Mids again.

And then on a different note I have pretty bad sciatica right now on my left side. Can't bend over right now and walking hurts. Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to squat tomorrow.

PreMier · 09-02-2004, 12:41 PM

Man, that suck. If your back is bad, wouldnt it be bad to squat?

Well you already said you was still going to tease me so I figure I might as well get my digs in too.

Rocco32 · 09-02-2004, 01:34 PM

I was actually going to let it slide, but now...

Rocco32 · 09-02-2004, 05:16 PM

I guess I'll start to post my meals in here too.

Meal 1- 1.5 cup oats, 40g protein, 2 tbsp PB all mixed up

Meal 2- 1.5 cup oats, 40g protein, 2 tbsp PB, 10 raspberries

Meal 3- 1 hamburger, 4 oz chicken, 1g carb ketchup, mustard

Meal 4- 6 oz steak, Cottage Cheese

Meal 5- 40g protein, 8 fish oil

And I go to bed

yellowmoomba · 09-02-2004, 07:12 PM

Take care of your back!! Last thing you need is a major injury

Ok, Mister 'don't work the elbow until its healed'

, you know as well as I do it is a bad idea to do squats with sciatica symptoms.

I've had those same symptoms for several years, and that is the reason I've never deadlifted or gone heavy on squats. What helped me? I know you've heard this before, but strengthening the core, and posterior muscles. Doing crunches, spread eagle sit-ups, hyperextensions, wide stance squats, SLDL's, rack pull's and deadlifts, have basically eliminated my sciatica... Basically the exact same exercises doctor's say to avoid
