Deads ReHab...

DeadBolt · 05-05-2005, 07:56 PM

Arch Yea I bet I'd start saturday to LOL. I despise gloves but if I can't keep my grip due to sweat then I've got a problem. I'd rather look like a fag with gloves and get a better workout then not be able to accomplish anything. I would only use them for my deadlifts and BB work like b/o rows and shit. Other then that I wouldn't use em.

Gary I dont know about soon but I appreciate the kind words. This shoulder is taking alot longer to heal then i thought it would. I still have a major limit on the weight I can move. Maybe by the end of summer I can get serious again.

Luke Hell yea me to...I sweat like a maniac during my deads especially if I really put all my effort into them. Thats when you see the veins in my neck, traps, and pecs pop out LOL.

Aleric Yea classes are almost over...two more days of class and I'm done! I never enjoyed regripping for some reason. Honestly if I did that I could have pounded out 15 reps with my SLDL's. Its never really my back or hams that limits me just my grip.

Thanks man...I'll be fine. My life works in spurts...for a while I'm crazy doing a million things with not ime for any of them then for a while it cools down and I'm fine. So it will work out I'm sure.

O man pictures I don't know if you guys really want to see me LOL. I'm a little to fat for pics. I'll see once I get a camera how I feel that day.

Pylon · 05-06-2005, 06:22 AM

Why not use straps for the SLDs instead of gloves?

Burner02 · 05-06-2005, 08:38 PM

exactly!
I use versa grips..better than straps. You should look into them!

No straps for this boy....I don't want to depend on those things. I just need to train my grip strength and b/c I don't have time for direct forearm work this is the only way they get worked. I need real world strength not just gym numbers. Its nice to be able to deadlift alot of weight but if I cant hold that weight without em what good is it to me....when I'm at a fire or somewhere I need that strength I can't be like hold on let me put my straps on.

I will be bloated as hell but yea why not lol....I will be going away memorial week and I wont be sober to many of those days LOL.

I don't plan on dieting really lol but I'm gonna work on cleaning my diet up and consuming alot more clean calories as well as adding in some cardio to my life.

DeadBolt · 05-06-2005, 08:59 PM

I'm way to tired to post a real post right now b/c I worked a 12 hour shift today and I'm exhausted! Then as I got home I slipped on my steps and fell right on my tail bone...hurts like a bitch right now so I can't sit in my chair to long lol.

I'll check all the journals I've been slacking on and post some shit here tomorrow but for now Gnight everyone. Got another long ass shift tomorrow bright and early so I need some sleep.

Pylon · 05-07-2005, 05:33 AM

I hear you about grip strength, but I like the straps because they don't get in the way of me holding the bar, then kick in when my grip gives out.

Rocco32 · 05-07-2005, 07:33 AM

Looking good in here Dead. And kudo's on turning down straps, I keep going back to them.

I just bought a pair of them Mike, they are pretty sweet. I remember when you recommended them to me about 1 year ago, took me forever to find that post and website LOL!

FishOrCutBait · 05-07-2005, 09:52 AM

Man Dead, like I said... Hope you slept good bro, sounds like you needed it!

straps?............STRAPS??!!

Archangel · 05-07-2005, 10:07 AM

Hows it goin Brother Bolt?

DeadBolt · 05-07-2005, 08:23 PM

Pylon Thanks for stopin in bud...how ya been?I use to use straps but then my grip really went to shit and I found myself unable to hold anything. So now for my sake I try to keep things raw....only aids I use is a belt on my heavy squats.

Dave Thanks brotha!! Long time no see around these parts...hows the back? Yea I try to stay away from em hehe...its hard when I know I could put up alot more weight...I just try to remember exactly why I'm doing all of this and it all makes sense again. I can't afford to be limited by something small like grip at a fire or something.

Fish Heya big guy...hows the w/o's been goin? I haven't really gotten much sleep lately. I been workin alot of hours and my girl just got back from college so she has been spending then night the past few nights

Don't get much sleep then either LOL. i got a story from work today that will explain why I got no sleep today.

Angle LOL glad to see I'm not the only one that doesn't use straps. I'm hangin in there...just working alot! I'm taking tomorrow off so I'll sleep in nice and late hopefully I sure do need it!

Today was a fucked up day. I got 2 hours of sleep last night then got up for work. Was in by 8:30 to find out I didn't have to be in till 2pm. After I cursed my boss out for being an asshole I left. Tried to fall asleep but couldn't so I watched tv till 12:45. Fell asleep and woke up at 1:45 and shot ever to work by 2. I was 1 minute shy of being docked a half hour for almost being late lol....just made the wire. Worked till 10pm and just got home. My girl is coming over now so its time for a shower and relaxin. Staying home on a saturday night and enjoyin the TV for once heh.

Not feeling good today maybe a stomach virus or something b/c I have had no desire to eat...been ill all day. Had a bagle w/ turkey, egg, and cheese this morning (half) then the other half for lunch and thats it. Can't stomach anything else.

And I took the keys home to my ambulance LOLOLOL...they fell off of my belt as I took my pants off. I'll have to run them over to the office tomorrow and probably get my ass chewed out for it lol.

DeadBolt · 05-08-2005, 02:47 PM

Haven't accomplished a damn thing today. Went to sleep last night at like 12am slept till 9am. For an hour or two my girl woke me up in between

then I ate at 9 and went back to bed. Didn't wake up till 4:15pm!!! Ate again and now have to shower and get out of my house b/f I eat the rest of the junk food here lol.

Almost 14hours of sleep today! i guess I made up for the past few days.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
