Hi Jen
Gotta work today Tomorrow depends on the weather. Hope to take the Porsche out for a test drive. I put a new thermo switch in it so hopefully it won't over heat! Then I can park it in the yard and slap a for sale sign on it !

How about you ?

Today is......CHEAT DAY Jill living vicariously through G

Señor Gary,


How's your day today? Resting or having another one of those wicked workouts of yours?
I'm just passing by to say hello.....

Have a great day!!!!

Hi Gorgeous !
Cheat day today won't be as good as I promised you last week. I have to work today and that cuts into my cheating time/opportunities . But next week looks like it will be a more normal schedule !

Have a great day !

The days not too bad , things are kinda slow at the store today but since i am running the produce dept today I have plenty to do !

No workout today. Start my second time through with RepRange / Legs tomorrow though Just finished my second time through with Power week. Overall it was better than the first time through. Hopefully everytime through will be better than the time before

Have a great one !

I looked back in my written log, and the first time I hurt this elbow I had worked up to 105 x 5 with the EZ bar. Even after I hurt though, I was able to do presses. I stopped doing skulls until it recovered, then switched to DB's. Everything seemed to be ok, but then one day...

EEEKKKK ! thanks for the story JD ! I'll be switching exercises next time

Holy crap.. is there an exotic car that you dont have? Porche.. Vette..

The list is long and distinguished. But I liked my Maserati better , hand made in Italy ! I don't keep any of them for long , got to move on to the next one ! Haven't found the one I want to keep yet . But so far it looks like it might be my 69 Super Bee but i have a long way to go on it . The motor and tranny are rebuilt now all i have to do is restore evrything else .

But to answer your question ..YES !

I envy you Gary.

Awww, don't do that . It took along time to get to where I could do this kind of stuff. When i was your age I went from paycheck to paycheck and many a times there was still some month left over after the end of the paycheck !
I got started on the cars using the banks money. Bought one ,fxed it up , sold it , paid off the bank and then did another the same way until I finally saved up enough profit to start using my own money to buyand fix up. I don't do it to make money , but to have the cars . even if it only for awhile

Thate awesome. I am building up my truck. It sucks because the type of stuff that I like to do, wont pay for itself like yours did.

That is so cool you do that GW. You grew up in the muscle car era like I did. I never really got into that, but at the end of the neighborhood where I lived there was a popular drag strip, illegal road dragging of course. Watching the tricked out cars was incredible. Oh how times have changed.

Yeah , It's amazing they can get those little 4 & 6 cylinder cars of today to put out more HP than 426 hemi did back then!!!!!

Thanks, The 70 lbs on skulls is on an ez bar. They are rough on my elbows though. Probably gonna look for an alternate exercise. Don'r want to end up like JD with tennis elbow!
I can do better on cheats ! Will give it a try tonight . Time for my saturday night pizza and appetizer

I was hoping they weren’t 70lb DB’s lol. I never like BB or EZ bar skulls, always do em DB style. But I think I may have to get my elbow checked out b/c I have been having some pains in them. My last power week I really kicked ass and I may have irritated something when doing tri’s. I hurts when I use em pretty much on the inside portion of my elbow. Not to much that I can’t manage anything and the pain has been going away a little but it still worries me.

It always is. Each time you run through a cycle it seems to always get better and better, once you become very familiar with the entire routine it starts to move like a well oiled machine and things just happen heh. I have pretty much memorized my entire 3 week cycle and weights so I am getting much more confident and am willing to experiment a little.

It should worry you DB... wished it had worried me more.

Anything I should do about it? The pain is steadily going away but should I be doing something for it besides rest?

Rest it, and if it gives you more trouble, stop the skullcrushers. I injured it, let it heal, injured it, let it heal, switched to DB's (which was better), then injured it... and then it started to bother me on ALL presses. Then I hurt it really bad. Point being, I kept trying to work thru the injury, and many times that works. In this case, it finally went.

Jill,

Nope, in the cage, holding barbell behind me. The smith machine won't let me go low enough . HMMMMMMMM guess i could make a platform to stand on

Congrats on the weights going up. How are you likeing those sldl's? They are a pain to get use to but once you get the form down the weight just piles on.

Thats what I'm hoping for . Right now just concentrating on form until it becomes as natural as most other lifts then I'll go for more weight.

nd last but not least Oatmeal raisin cookies and a glass of milk

OH MY!!! I could go for some of those right now!!


INCREDIBLE leggies Gary!
