I like WW!

Sanding drywall has to be one of the most thankless tasks. I can't believe you were able to that workout after all the other stuff.

Did a no-no today. Basically repeated my Sunday wo. 18 year old mentality I know, but I was disappointed in the result. Today was more like it.

Rope Pushdowns

Slow negatives, pause and a 'squeezed' positive, and another pause at the bottom. Never been a fan of 'feel the burn', but I like this as a finisher.

PreMier · 07-19-2006, 11:29 PM

Nice workout JD. Glad to see you still sticking with it

Jake: I've been sticking with it for years

It's just old is catching up with me and I have had to take various layoffs due to injuries. If I never had an injury, I would have never taken time off.

Gary: Come back G-dub, come back...

Having fun training with my stepson. It is funny how some things come easy to him and others feel awkward. He has trouble with tricep ext, barbell curls, leg press, and leg extentions, but feels comfortable with bench press, incline press, DB curls, and HS back machines.

That's cool you're training with your stepson. He has a pretty badass mentor.

M.J.H. · 07-25-2006, 07:42 PM

Workouts are looking solid, man.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the support. It helps fuel the fire.

BB Incline Press
135 x 8
155 x 8
185 x 5
205 x 5
225 x 4, almost 5...
205 x 7
First time with 225 on incline since the layoff. Need to get back to 7-8 reps.

CG Bench Press
135 x 10
155 x 8
185 x 8
205 x 6

DB Tri Ext
65 x 10
75 x 8
80 x 6

I have the tendency to touch my back when doing these. I on purpose made sure I had full ROM, but hitting only 'air', if you know what I mean. Really stresses the tri's harder that way.

Tricep Pushdowns
60 x 15
70 x 13

Walk dog for 35 minutes at good pace

JerseyDevil · 07-25-2006, 08:43 PM

I just realized I never posted my 'leg' wo on Sunday.

It's a shame I can't squat any more. If I did 3 sets of 10 with 135 right now, I KNOW I would be sore as hell the next day. For the first time in a few months, I did 4 sets of leg press, 3 sets of leg extensions, 3 sets of leg curls, and 3 sets of seated calf raises.... I was not even sore in the next few days

Nothing holds a candle to squatting in my opinion. Why no squatting? Low back issues?

PreMier · 07-26-2006, 12:01 AM

What kind of dog do you have?

JerseyDevil · 07-26-2006, 07:12 PM

CP: Left knee. I used to squat fairly heavy (sets with 315) with no problems. I would notice though, my knees would make a cracking sound. You know, snap, crackle and pop. But never had pain or discomfort. I guess that was the warning sign I ignored because soon thereafter I had trouble getting out of a chair without a 'crack' sound and discomfort. I completely stopped working legs, and the cracking stopped. But it still doesn't feel right when I go up stairs, and it feels 'loose' on an elliptical machine.

I assume it's cartilage fragments or a slightly torn meniscus. But now (almost two years later), it is only a slight annoyance. I feel it somewhat doing the leg presses, but I think it is ok as long as I don't over do it. I did squats for over 10 years, time to retire I think.

Jake: My dog is a 17 month old Golden Retriever. She is a great dog!

**CowPimp** · 07-26-2006, 09:59 PM

Gotcha gotcha. I'm sorry to hear that, but it happens to the best of us.

**P-funk** · 07-27-2006, 11:35 PM

where is the discomfort? on which part of the knee?

JerseyDevil · 07-28-2006, 08:15 PM

Off to the side, inside the leg if that makes sense. Squatting with a narrow stance always felt more comfortable to me, but in an effort to squat more weight, I adopted a powerlifter type stance... which did work. But I think that is what screwed me up.

maybe you should try and get a session in with DaleMabry (he is in NJ for a few more months) and see if he can asses the situation and give you some corrective exercises to combat the problem.

Again, these tend to bother my arthritic elbow, so doing slow, controlled, squeeze type reps, rather then trying to move weight.

Working out with my stepson tonight. I only have him at 65 lbs for 3 sets of 8 on bench, but I am way more interested in teaching proper form and breathing. This weight is too light for him, but he has some trouble controlling the negative portion, and pushes a bit uneven.
