Alright, I got got down eating my pre-w/o meal and I'm icing my hip at the moment... Hopefully I'll be able to at least do some light deads today without irritation. One of my more experienced friends is gonna help me out on deadlifting form tonight. I'm kind tired though...been tired all day and I took a nap from 8-9 pm should be at the gym by 10.

Deadlifts!! Wooooooo!!!!!!!
Quote:
 .Ok, well today at the gym was awesome... I thought it wouldn't be great b/c I was tired all day, but I guess a nap and the pre-w/o meal helped a lot. I've gotten the hang of deadlifts thanks to a friend there, he kind of pushed me on to go heavier because he thought I could... One thing I gotta get used to on deadlifts is keeping the bar a little away from my shins... I scraped my shin a few times and it started bleeding... 7-29-05 Monday Back/Abs/Cardio Full Deadlifts 1st set - 225lbs 2 reps PB 2nd set - 225lbs 3 reps PB 3rd set - 225lbs 2 reps 4th set - 235lbs 2 reps PB 5th set - 235lbs 2 reps BB rows 1st set - 115lbs 9 reps 2nd set - 135lbs 6 reps BB Shrugs 1st set - 185lbs 10 reps 2nd set - 225lbs 8 reps DB Rows 1st set - 50lbs 8 reps 2nd set - 50lbs 8 reps Cable Rows 1st set - 70lbs 10 reps 2nd set - 80lbs 8 reps Cable Crunches 1st set - 110lbs 20 reps 2nd set - 130lbs 10 reps PB Machine Crunches 1st set - mark 8 on the stack (no idea what weight) 10 reps Cardio - 30 minutes elliptical, interval course 2 minutes each slope, 426.6 cals, 3.03 miles... Man ! By the time I was done with cardio I was dead... I felt like stopping the cardio early so many times, but I pushed it to my designated 30 minutes. Overall, I'm very happy w/ my w/o today .This may be a little corny, but to hell with it .New snap down pants: $24.99 New tank shirts: $6.99 New Adidas Superstar Shoes: $44.99 MP3 Player: $149.99 Deadlifting your first 225lbs: priceless Anyway, time to do some isometrics for the shoulders, ice up get something to eat and get some rest...

Hell Yea brotha!!! Rock on....much congrats on hitting the big 225!!! See with some patience and taking care of the hip and shoulder you were able to do what you thought was impossible!! You're doing great man...most people your age would say screw it and keep lifting with the pain and not take care of it....but you are much smarter then they are!
Keep up the good work my man....just don't stop the rehab keep going with it for a while to make sure you are 100%. BTW those pictures are awsome man!! |

Thanks everyone, yeah Deadbolt I just had physical theorapy today for my hip, and I also have it tomorrow and thursday... The thing is last night I got almost no sleep at all... I don't know what it was but I just couldn't sleep... At best I got 2-3 hours of sleep and I'm dead tired right now... I literally got up 18 minutes before my physical therapy session at 9:30, threw on some clothes and left...
I still have a couple week of PT left after this week so hopefully that'll help some. They gave me exercises to do at home for my shoulder which I do once or twice a day, but they haven't given me anything to do for my hip yet.I know I'm definately not 100% as far as my hip and shoulders go, my hip usually has a dull ache in the morning that lasts until I ice it a couple times and my shoulders have some occasional pain (though they aren't as bad as the hip right now). Ughhh.... I'm thinking it's about time for a 3 hour nap... Last edited by Seanp156 : 07-26-2005 at 09:42 AM. |

235 on the deads sean, impressive. I remember from your previous workouts that your heaviest was only 185-195 i think, but that's a big jump. Like you said here,

Actually the heaviest before that was only 175lbs, I do think it was mostly mental. Maybe I've been slacking on my squats and bench too
 . My schedule's so messed up right now... I really to get that worked out before I start school again . I just took a nap from 11:00 am to 2:45 pm because I didn't sleep well last night.Yeah, I hear you about the deadlifts... I used to do 5-10 reps as well and I don't really think that's the best way to go for deadlifts. In a couple weeks who knows, I might try going down to one rep and try for 275. I think deads are my favorite exercise as well, even before this I always enjoyed performing them, but they can leave your back feeling like hell for a few days.

It really was very satisfying... When I pulled up 225 the first time I was so happy looking in the mirror... Then I went back for another, got it, set it back down and had a huge smile on my face. Then I tried 235 and got it a couple sets and was very pleased. I decided at that point, that was enough for the day.
When I pulled the 225 I saw one of the employees at the desk looking over and smiling as well. The thing is, on squats and benching it seems a little harder to push yourself (without a spotter) because if you try to go too heavy, you can really get yourself in trouble... Where as with deadlifts... The weight just won't come up off the ground. |

Today's w/o was alright, but not much compared to yesterdays... I decided to use one of the Hammer Strength Press machines to see how that felt with my shoulders and it didn't both them at all, so I may stick with that until the PT's ok benching w/ BB and DBs. Also, when I was done I got a pair of lifting straps for deads and other pulling movements... I'm not planning to use them all the time just because I want my grip and forearms to got stronger with my back, but I'll probably throw them in the mix sometimes to see how the weight changes with their use. I also asked them if they could get my a deal on whey before I go to college... Whether I order from the gym or online I'm planning to get me 40lbs to last me until winter break which is around December 15th or 16th. They said they can get me 10% off, but I don't know if that's off of their price, or off of where they order it from. I can get 40lbs of ON 100% whey and 1kg of HCl Creatine for about $240 shipped. If they can get their 40lbs of whey done to $210 shipped (without the creatine), I'll buy it from them, but otherwise I'll just get it from bulk nutrition. 7-26-05 Chest/Cardio Hammer Strength Chest Press 1st set - 90lbs 10 reps 2nd set - 140lbs 8 reps 3rd set - 140lbs 7 reps 4th set - 140lbs 6 reps DB Flat Flyes 1st set - 25lbs 10 reps 2nd set - 20lbs 10 reps Cable Flyes 1st set - 40lbs 10 reps 2nd set - 40lbs 10 reps Cable Crossovers 1st set - 50lbs 6 reps 2nd set - 40lbs 10 reps Pec Deck 1st set - 90lbs 10 reps 2nd set - 80lbs 10 reps Cardio - 30 minutes biking... interval between 8 and 12 resistance every 5 minutes, 215 cals, 5.02 miles. |

Legs
Today's w/o was alright. Hip was bothering me a bit throughout the day so I opted to do some light machine squats rather than BB. It feels pretty good right now. I thought I had physical theorapy at 8:00 AM today so I got up, changed real quick and got there only to find out that it's actually tomorrow
. That's never cool...Anyway.... Thursday 7-28-05 Legs 5 min bike warmup Machine Squats (weight listed is weight added to machine) 1st set - 145lbs 10 reps 2nd set - 165lbs 7 reps 3rd set - 145lbs 8 reps SLDL 1st set - 135lbs 10 reps 2nd set - 135lbs 8 reps Leg Press 1st set - 270lbs 12 reps 2nd set - 270lbs 10 reps Hammer Strength Leg Curls (you add plates to it) 1st set - 70lbs 12 reps 2nd set - 70lbs 10 reps Leg Extensions 1st set - 100lbs 14 reps 2nd set - 100lbs 14 reps Standing Calf Raises 1st set - 80lbs 15 reps 2nd set - 100lbs 8 reps BB Calf Raises (killed) 1st set - 95lbs 12 reps stretch Now time for shower, isometrics and ice. |

Thanks Billie, but I'm not quite sure I'd call them lifelike
. In regards to my w/o last night; I had physical theorapy this morning and my hip bothered me some, so I'm not really quite sure if I should've layed off some of the stuff in my w/o or not, also I'm not sure what exactly to stay away from. I'm not really even all that sore from yesterdays w/o either... Maybe I didn't get enough sleep to feel sore, is that possible?Also, I asked the PT today aboutwhen it would be ok to do presses and squats again and she said whenever you feel up to it; so I guess I basically have to base it on how I'm feeling...

I guess, if you want me to play along it could help you relax a bit and take your mind off the aching . Plus, if it's ice cold I guess it could help keep any swelling/inflamation away too. |
