hope so...I'm not liking how I look nekkid...
I had kinda thought about going back to the club...if for no other reason than toget out of the house on weekends...but do'nt feel 'as if I can' in my current state of fitness. as I've stated previously...size only portrays a bit of it. When I was there...true, I was a little bigger than your average guy...and I looked it...I also 'knew it....'cause I 'felt' it in my mind. I 'felt' powerful...confident that in most situations...I had the ability to handle 98% of any situation I could be confronted with. Now...I don't have that. I was trying to explain it to someone...maybe a fellow lifter can relate. When I am lifting...constantly...that is...I feel...'full' / solid. Now...I am aware of the gut...and I feel...'hollow'/empty. Does that make any sense to anybody? it directly affects my confidence levels...so..if I were to go back...I'm gonna have to drop at least 20lbs...minimum... |

Isn't that a "catch 22" situation? You want to go back to the gym, but you want to lose 20 pounds first?? How are you going to lose the weight if you don't go to the gym.....effectively?

well, I went to the gym!
Wasn't the bestest workout...my 'ego' stepped in again... Did delts. Was doing seated DB mil press. weights felt good...so instead of keeping at moderate weights and staying in the 10 rep range...as I should have...I upped it to a 5-6 rep range...and that probably wasn't the best idea. I did stay light w/ my side lateral raises...but I think that still toasted my delts and that...'feeling' came back. No..not the 'cool...I'm in the zone' feeling...the other one...that bad one. I stopped delts...and thought I'd hit a couple sets of dips to hit my tris... I got up on the bars and started to get set...that feeling...was really evident now...so I stopped...waited another couple minutes...tried it agani...feeling still there...so I called it a day.  But...some workout=better than no workout. Today is back. the thought for the day is: go easy! |

hey burner, you get there thats whats matters. not all people are as lucky as i am and have someone all chipper at 4:15 in the morning going "come on lets go to the gym". i think i might start sleeping in the basement.lol
anyways you know that once you get in a couple of weeks that that hard feeling will start coming back, then after that it all starts falling into place alot easier. keep it up!!!! |

What did I miss? What's wrong?
The last problem that I read about in your journal was taking pills and a nasal spray. |

naw...still stuck at the cube for another 6 hours....
i work at the Air Force Space Command HQ building. There is this really...cute lieutinant(sp) I see every once in a while...she needs me...she doens't know it yet...but she needs me. Something about a hottie in a uniform...maybe 'cuase yo can eventually get her OUT of the uniform..... from my perspective...she seems to ignore me. I think...and this is just a thought..that she's just playing hard to get. It's working.... |

happy monday!
ok...ready to report in....I got 3 outof 4 workouts done last week! They weren't the greatest....I have to be careful w/ that delt issue. i forgot about it...I may have to give up on upright rows.. I like doing them, but delt is in opposition... My back was weak....that is going to be the muslce section that is going to be the hardest to get back 'on-line'...chest and legs will come back up fairly quickly...but the back...am gonna have to pay extra attention to it...and not dick up my tendonitis again..... |

up right rows, shit i havent been able to do them for about 2 years. between the tendonitis in the elbows and the funky tweak i get in my wrist, i just skip them while katt bangs away on them. so is it your whole back or just like your core that you are worried about not getting back quick enough?
i know we do plenty on our back and lower back, but not enough ab work to even things out with our core muscles. but thats ok, who wants a six pack anyway. |

my back.
I'll be doing enough ab work in my boxing classes... Not to go into the: I USED to be able to do THIS much.... I figure I cna do about 60% of what I could do... I now have to be REAL careful w/ my tendonitis as well....I use straps on most pulling exercises to help keep tensions off...and have bene known...to just leave biceps out if they arne't up to it..... when I am back to full speed, my back workout will be like: either deads or SLDL: pull ups rows machine or cable pull downs (reps) cable rows |

Have you guys considered doing DB Upright Rows? They're a lot easier on the tendons (and arms in general).
