Some Comments from the doctor. Overall strength was above average. But my back problems should have been addressed from 12 years ago from a hockey injury. So Basically here is the jist of what he has been saying

Significant Findings
1) Left Lumbar Laterility 20mm almost 2cm off alignment
2) Left Pelvic Elevation of 11 mm
3) L5-s1 disc degeneration 50% Lumber Vertabrae increase insize from top to bottom my L5 was measuring 7mm should be around 14mm

4) I.V.F. Enchroachment
5) Spinal Decay Phase II approaching Phase III (phase III is commonly reported by 40-65 yo's)
Vertevreal Subluxation Complex at L5-S1 + T12-L4

Hey P what about doing Hang Cleans in place of RDL?

**IainDaniel** · 02-06-2007, 02:32 PM

Ok I made a switch to my workout. I took out RDL's and replaced with DB snatches. Deadlifts just seem to fry an already shitty back. So I have decided not to do them I missed a couple of workouts because of them and suffered through a week of pain, not something I have really enjoyed.

1a) DB Snatches 50x6 (3 sets)
1b) BB Rows 155 x 8 (3 sets)
(a then b no rest, 90 second RI repeat)

2a) SB Glute Bridges 12 x 3 sets)
2b) Pull ups BW x 6 (3 sets)getting better each set was 3,2,1.
(a then b no rest, 90 second RI repeat)

3a) DB curls 50x6 (3 sets)
3b) YTWA 6 x 3 sets
(a then b no rest, 60 second RI repeat)

Conditioning (2 circuits)
Jumping Jacks x 50
Crunches x 15
BW Squats x 15
Planks 20 sec
(Full Circuit then 60 sec RI)

I enjoyed the DB snatches. Never realized how much effort they required.

I just started doing them. It's amazing how much they beat me down. Not only am I worn out (in terms of my muscles), but I'm also winded.

**IainDaniel** · 02-06-2007, 02:44 PM

Yeah I wasn't expecting it to be that demanding for sure. Then throw in the superset of bent over rows. I probably should have increased my RI to 120secs but ah well

**IainDaniel** · 02-06-2007, 07:28 PM

So to slap myself in the face I started looking back at some of my old Journals. Basically pre-kids. Man I have slacked since then, it is really kinda depressing.

Ah well just thought I would vent. Well it is my journal

HAHA kinda like this guy

**IainDaniel** · 02-08-2007, 02:43 PM

Ok so today felt like a shitty workout, no strength, or endurance, but I pushed through. It annoyed me the whole time. Tried MT. Climbers today, they are fucking tough. Might also have to do with the demolition area my house is right now, cause I decided to tear down a wall, and open thinks up. That has been pretty much trying me up with any free time after work.

However on a side note,there was an unusually high amount of blood flow, and pump. I have also upped the dose of Xceed, to heaping scoops pre and post.

1a) Front Squat 135x10 (3 sets)
1b) BB Military Press 115 x 11(3 sets)
(a then b no rest, 60 second RI repeat)

2a) DB Split squat 40x12 (3 sets)
2b) Incline DB Bench 55 x 12 (3 sets)
(a then b no rest, 60 second RI repeat)

3a) DB Tricep ext 55x12 (3 sets)
3b) push-up plus 3 sets of 15
(a then b no rest, 60 second RI repeat)

4a)Mt climber 15 sec
4b) crunches 15 reps
4c) Jumping Jacks 50 reps
4d) SB jacknives 12 reps
(a then b then c then 60 sec RI 3 circuits)

**IainDaniel** · 02-12-2007, 03:04 PM

Good workout today, ever since I have bumped up the dose to an overflowing scoop, I have begun to notice more of a pump, and better recovery.

Focusing on moving the weights quickly

1a) DB Snatches 40x8 (3 sets)
1b) BB Rows 125 x 8 (3 sets)
(a then b no rest, 90 second RI repeat)

2a) SB Glute Bridges 12 x 3 sets)
2b) Pull ups BW x 6 (3 sets) set was 3,2,1.
(a then b no rest, 90 second RI repeat)

3a) DB curls 40x8 (3 sets)
3b) YTWA 6 x 3 sets
(a then b no rest, 60 second RI repeat)

Conditioning (2 circuits)
Jumping Jacks x 50
Crunches x 15
BW Squats x 15
Planks 20 sec
(Full Circuit then 60 sec RI)

Good to go.

Bakerboy · 02-12-2007, 03:20 PM

Nice work.

How's the back?

**IainDaniel** · 02-12-2007, 03:24 PM

Thanks!

Back is doing good. I have a good feeling it is the RDL's that were wrecking havoc on my back. SLDL's did the same a few years ago.

**IainDaniel** · 02-15-2007, 02:24 PM

Blah a shitty workout. Dunno what it is If I feel like shit doing squats it just fucks up my mood for the rest of my workout. Energy has been down, again probably cause I have been pretty busy around my house doing a renovation I am trying to get done before my sons birthday party this weekend. I dunno it just pisses me off.

1a) Front Squat 165x4, 160x6, 160x6
1b) BB Military Press 125 x 8 (3 sets)
(a then b no rest, 120 second RI repeat)

2a) DB Split squat 50x8 (3 sets)
2b) Incline DB Bench 65 x 8 (3 sets)
(a then b no rest, 90 second RI repeat)

3a) DB Tricep ext 65x8 (3 sets)
3b) Push-up Plus 12 x 3 sets
(a then b no rest, 90 second RI repeat)

4a)Planks
4b)Crunches
4c) SB Jacknives
(a, b, then c, 60 sec RI)

This test was difficult, but here are my answers to the multiple choice:

1b, 2b, 3a, 4c

So, what's my grade?

DOMS · 02-15-2007, 03:24 PM

And don't let a bad workout get to you. It'll do you no good. Just focus on the positive!

**IainDaniel** · 02-15-2007, 03:25 PM

You failed kinda like i did with my workout.

Rocco32 · 02-16-2007, 10:17 PM

Despite the negativity, your doing good here Iain. I like the w/o you've set up!!! I'll have to incorporate some of that stuff sometime into my routines!

yellowmoomba · 02-18-2007, 05:51 AM

Where'd you get this new routine? It looks kinda like something Bakerboy is doing....

Have fun at your party...How old is your boy ?

**IainDaniel** · 02-18-2007, 05:54 AM

Turning 3...seems like only yesterday. I am sure you are seeing how quickly they grow up

P-funk helped with things.

Any specific goals besides:

Getting a six pack
Being huge, ripped, cut,
Lifting small cars ??

**IainDaniel** · 02-18-2007, 06:04 AM

To be completely honest, nothing spercific.

I just want to improve perforance for any sports I play, and help with injury prevention ie my back.

I am no where near numbers I was moving a couple years ago, which is frustrating. So it is just basically trying to form a consistent schedule, and being responsible for my actions.

How do you guage if you are improving or not?? Do you just feel a difference when you play ? Just curious.....

**IainDaniel** · 02-18-2007, 06:11 AM

I guage performance by numbers in my workouts. I strive to improve each week. I don't really care if I can lift a certain weight anymore.

I dunno just how I have started to look at things feel free to chime in.

	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...
