- On the last set of shrugs i had a weird feeling in my elbow, so I cut it short
- It should be noted, I havent felt the same pain that I was feeling all the time, a month or so ago. What im getting now is sort of an irritating feeling, something on the verge of becoming a pain but not that exact pain. Hard to describe..
- I got up at 1:00, so my diets a little empty still ..hah
- Im going shopping right now for some g-rub

DIET
- Shake(natty PB+oats + bananna)
- Protein Bar + apple

Sorry.. I neglected to read the whole journal yesterday, just scoped the dates. But it sounds like you have tendonitis in your arm. I get that when arm wrestling. Also, did you take time off because the holidays, or aggrivate the arm again?

Cold Iron

Premier- NP. I took the time off to try and let it heal. Well, actually, I didnt even have a choice...too much pain to work through.There would be absolutly zero chance of me just taking time off for the hell of it. I've only being lifting a little over 2 yrs and I've had two pretty big setbacks already, so....

PreMier

Ive been at it a little over a year, and more than half of that is OUT of the gym I feel your pain

Premier-Holy shit...youve only been lifting for a yr?

hey, what does tendonitis fel like?

PreMier

Seriously, yes. I played football from 15-17, then stopped lifting from 17-21.

Its usually not noticable, untill you have enflamed it. Then the tendon gets sore. Mine gets inflamed when I arm wrestle.. its almost like a dull achy pain in the forearm/elbow area. Makes the arm feel 'dead' in a way, but it hurts. Thats the best I can explain it

Notes
- I dont know where my head is lately, I forgot to do tri's. I never forget shit like that
- Went light, as usual. I think im going to go at around 50% for the next few weeks and see how that goes. Even lighter than today
- I ordered some Ph's yesterday. Im not even necessarily going to do them, but I felt like I was missing the boat if I didnt get any before the ban. I can always sell them if needed. However, I'm in canada, so we'll see if they make it here
- I havent had any time the last couple of days, tomorrow I have some time, so I will pre-cook a bunch of meals
- I dont know the real name of the lean-back machine..lol


Diet

- Sandwich on a bagel
- Lasanga + 1%milk + fishies
- tuna + apple + nature vallley bar + fishies

PreMier

I wouldnt do that 'lean back machine'. I know what one it is, and its dangerous, because of the shearing force placed on your spine. I used to do it, untill LAM told me.

Cold Iron

Really? I feel it gives my lower back a sweet WO. I go super slow and it feels awesome. I dont understand how it could put excessive force on your spine. Wouldnt the weight have to be coming from above you.. ala behind the neck presses or something similar, to have that effect? Imma shot LAM a pm

Cold Iron

WTF I weighed myself today and was pushing 210

I've never been over 2 bills.. and this aint the good weight

My "goodies" came in today. No immediate plans on burstin ma cherry, but a good asset to have none the less. Dirrrrrrt cheap

- I take 2 multi's per day as well

Cold Iron

Same old shit. Workouts suck, diet sucks, everything sucks. It's impossible to stay motivated when I cant train hard. Im making an appointment to get my knees, left elbow and lower back checked out. I HATE the fact its so hard to build muscle/strength and yet its so easy to lose. Whatever.

PreMier

Damn, your as bad as me hahaha Good luck with it all man. It sucks.. I know.

- My appontment is 10:10 Thurs morning
- I started writing this post at 5:30p.m yesterday. Then in-mid post my cousin told me that we had to start moving her. It was me and only one other guy who moved her, talk about exahusting. I had just gotten home from this w/o and then I had to go do that. Afterwards she took us out to eat and when I got home at 1:30am, it was lights out. I actually didnt even make it up to my room and passed out on the couch
- My last meal was REALLY good, but i'm pretty PO'ed at myself, especially considering I just started a "cut" but I was EXTREMELY hungry after moving my cuz for like 4 hrs virtually by myself and it was sorta my "payment" so I wanted to get my money's worth
