thank you so much for the tank...I really love it!
Well, things at work are happening, which may have an impact on my gym contributions...As I've said, I tend to loose my steam when I get buried at work or things have me down.
It looks like I may be changing jobs inside the company, even changing careers a bit. Nothing official, but it would be a good thing, I think. Also, there is a "fitness comp" going on that just started, and I've been solicited to sign up. I'm nothing if not a junkie for competition, right? So, I'm planning on getting in Monday, including weigh in (honor system applies, I think) and target. It's weight only (on BF% on this list), so I have to come up with something agressive enough to be worth doing, but not so much that I'd strip away lean mass to reach it. I'll let you all know what I come up with.
The other upside is all the other members (as of now) are execs, so this would be a chance to impress them, even if it has nothing to do with work.

Sounds like a good move for you. You're right about doing stuff on a personal level with your superiors. It always helps to build those relationships.Pylon said:
On a separate note, what ever happened to Kal. Didn't you work with him?

Yeah, he's doing fine. Just has a lot going on and has drifted off the gym radar.
Got into the doc's friday...diagnosis is a pulled or strained trap, which is causing a pinched nerve. Scripted a muscle relaxer and anit-inflam, recommended a deep tissue massage for the area. Hopefully will be back up and lifting in a week or so. In the meantime, getting plenty of rest. The meds have knocked me out to the tune of 17 hourse of sleep in the last 24 or so.
Sorry to hear about your injury, hope it gets better quickly!!!
Guh...so groggy...
Getting lots of sleep, tho, so that's good.
Starting on the new plan Monday. I've decided to go back to an early setup with higher reps and sets (rather than Heavy Duty). I need to get back to a higher caloric output while in the gym. Plan to do 3 days of lifting and 3 or 4 of cardio. Will probably do a split of chest-bis/legs/back-tri-shoulders. Will have to be careful with the shouders so as not to aggrevate the neck issue. I'm putting it last in the rotation. I'm hoping that I can get thru a week of just cardio and light lifting, then hit the weights next week.
I am also planning to get in for a massage this week. There is a therapist at my gym, so I'm going to try to get a spot on her sched.

Looking good in here. Enjoy the massage, they can work wonders if you have a really good therapist. The fitness comp at work spunds interesting. The only down side which is also a plus is if you beat the execs. Bad for the execs, but great for your health/body.
sorry to hear about the trap PY....take it easy for another week or so 
Thanks, Dev and B. That is pretty much the plan. Will probably do cardio work this week to get myself going, but I don't see any lifting until next week at the earliest.
OK, got into the masage therapist at lunch. She told me the muscle under my left trap feels like it has been twisted around like a rubber band. She worked on it for a while, now I get to wait and see how much it hurts.
She also said I would probably be ok to do light lifting, but I think I'm going to stick with cardio work this week, just to be safe.

Oh man, a deep tissue massage??? I would KILL for one of those!!! Heres to a speedy recovery my Friend!!!
Well, the rubdown seemed to help some, but still a little stiff. I've got good ROM turning right, but left (where the problem lives) is still about 60%.
Trying to get my food act together, have decided to go back to some old habits that worked well. That means oats, natty PB and a scoop of whey for breakfast. I've also refilled my fruit bowl at work.

those massages are wonderful! You may find that you will probably need another one. And I would get another one really soon. Probably like Friday maybe. When I did that to my back, I got something like 3 massages in one week! They do work and they are extremely helpful.
I hope you get to feeling better sweetie!

I nuke the oats, then mix in the pb, then the whey. All I have is strawberry right now, but it is really good with choc or banana whey.
That's pretty much the breakfast I have only I add a bananna and milk and do it in the blender.
Its a good mix. I think the banana whey from GNC is the best flavor for the mix, but just about anything will go ok.

Congrats on the "NEW" addition my Friend!!!
Feeling a bit better today. The meds are still slowing me down, but i've got most of my ROM back in my neck. Still a little stiff, so I will be taking it easy with an eye on Monday for lifting again.
Glad to hear your healing up quickly, rest it like you say, and then Best wishes to you for next monday!!!
Pylon, congrats on the great news about the baby! We have the goalie pulled right now. Maybe you, me and Fitty will all have something to celebrate this spring!
Indeed, it would!
