Sean's going for strength.

MorteSubite · 07-20-2005, 05:10 PM

Nice workout Sean! Hoping that on the 26th you'll get good news!

Archangel · 07-20-2005, 06:55 PM

You!!! Solid w/o and I hope you get great news on the 26th!!!

Seanp156 · 07-20-2005, 07:24 PM

Me too, shoulders are actually feeling decent today ; Mostly a good sore from them getting a little work yesterday... They're still not perfect by any means, but better.

On another note...my weight's been staying more or less the same... Was 182 last night and 178 this morning...

gwcaton · 07-20-2005, 08:42 PM

Hey GW, it's nice to see you're starting to get back into things now. It is kind of scary to think that my shoulders have to last my whole life

. I'm sure they'll be ok, I just gotta rest and ice them for a while, even though I don't really want to...

Scary thought huh?? I hate the thought to...considering all the old timers have either had surgery or have hurt shoulders as it is but refuse to do anything about it.

Seanp156 · 07-21-2005, 10:39 PM

I decided to do some light squats and leg pressing today, as well as SLDLs... My hip's felt very good the last couple days. When doing the squats I tried going back to a pretty narrow stance, but found it stressed my knees too much, so I went somewhere between wide and narrow and it felt better. The squats, even with light weight were pretty tough for me, but then again, I haven't done them for about a month... My hip feels alright right now, no pain, itching, burning, or inflamation; I'll still probably ice it after a shower just to be safe.

Also, one of my friends co-workers always goes there the same time I do, so it's at least cool to know someone at a new gym. I was able to talk him into making sure my deadlift form's correct. I'm pretty sure it's good, but I want to make sure it's perfect so I can progress as well as I can without risking injury.

7-21-05
Legs

Warmup - 5 minute stationary bike

Squats (3 warmup sets first)

.

To Arch - Sorry about doing the squats, but I left for the gym before you replied

.

Archangel · 07-22-2005, 06:24 AM

Excellent w/o there Brother Sean!!! Sorry I responded too late, but you did good in going light!!! I hear ya about the squats (Narrow stance) That just kills my hips and knees too, I only do narrow stance every now and then!!! Mostly they are shoulder width or just a bit wider!!!
Keep it up, your progressing great!!!

Seanp156 · 07-22-2005, 12:22 PM

Thanks Arch... However I'm not really sure if I can call what I doing now progressing; I'm more just trying to get back to where I was before breaks and injuries.

b_reed23 · 07-22-2005, 01:31 PM

I think things are coming along nicely too, Sean

How is your physical therapy going??

Seanp156 · 07-22-2005, 05:14 PM

Well, I didn't have it at all this week because they were booked... They said they'd call if they had any cancellation, but they didn't, so my next session is the 26th.

MorteSubite · 07-22-2005, 05:16 PM

Nice workout Sean! Are all of those warmup sets necessary? I'd think they'd over-fatigue you.

Seanp156 · 07-22-2005, 05:19 PM

They're not heavy and they don't have many reps... for example on squats I did

bar x 6 reps
95lbs x 6 reps
115lbs x 4 reps

Right now at least, I think it's better to include them to prevent injury.

MorteSubite · 07-22-2005, 05:23 PM

Better safe than sorry makes sense

gwcaton · 07-22-2005, 05:27 PM

Hey Grasshopper

Hows it going ? Pretty good wo for a psuedo RR.

Seanp156 · 07-22-2005, 06:00 PM

Hey GW, I was hoping for more reps on my squats and SLDL, but I didn't really want to push my luck. Things are going fairly good being summer and all... Not really much to worry about except work and working out. Sleeping in to 1 and 2 pm is always a nice bonus

. If I can get everything in order(as far as shoulders and lifting go) before school starts I'll be happy. Once school starts, I have a 9 month excuse to bulk

.

Seanp156 · 07-23-2005, 12:30 AM

Today's w/o was fairly good, especially the 3 sets of skull crushers... They absolutely killed my triceps. I just got done doing some isometrics at home for my shoulders and I'm icing now... I hate isometrics; they're so boring

, but I guess whatever helps should be done.

7-22-05

Upright Row
1st set - 55lbs 8 reps (just a quick light set for shoulders)

WTG sean, shoulders getting better too i see?!

Seanp156 · 07-23-2005, 08:36 PM

Yeah, shoulders are doing a little better lately, although both my right hip and shoulders have been bothering my slightly today (not too bad at all though... could be due to workouts in combination with mowing the lawn today and shopping most of the day. I got a decent amount of new clothes, some new shoes and some dorm room stuff

. (Got some workout tank shirts and some pants too).

I'm looking forward to some rest tomorrow.

WATTS · 07-23-2005, 10:48 PM

damn bro watch out with all that shopping, ive re-injured my shoulder plenty of times doing this.

but in all seriousness im glad that its feeling better, it'll take time but you'll heal up.

your weights are looking good keep it up!

where are you going to college?

Seanp156 · 07-23-2005, 11:58 PM

Hey WATTS, thanks for stopping in even depite your sarcastic comment

.
I'm going to CCAD (Columbus College of Art & Design). I'm going to major in 3D animation and minor in illustration, I'm hoping to get a job as a concept artist and animator for movies and such media. I've always liked drawing since I was a little kid... I quit a while then I picked it back up about a year ago.
