Thanks! Yeah it's just like old times in Florida again. The sky opens up at 2 for about an hour then threatens or continues to sprinkle until I get out of the gym at 6. Have a good trip, I hope it stays nice for ya!

Does your gym allow chalk?

Everything is so shiny and new and I haven't seen any residue on anything, I'm thinking no. I've still got a bottle in my car and it would help me out tremendously. I'll have to ask next time I'm in there. Or just sneak it.

ATG squats! now thats what im talking about.

Thanks! I could have gotten the 6 the last few sessions too but I wouldn't have come close to getting the rest of the reps. Total reps over 5 sets is up 2 so I'm happy.

Yeah, I was feeling good. I have to make myself stop. I could stay in there for 2 hours pulling on everything, lol.

nice workout. I love the HS low row machine

Thanks! So do I. Shit, if I'm gonna use a machine 9 times out of 10 it's a plate loaded HS. By far my favorite.

Only way to go in my opinion. Sure, I could load up another 50-60-70 pounds and do quarter squats like everyone else in the gym, but what's the point? I'm nowhere close to pushing/pulling around a lot of weight like some people in my gym but I always catch those same people watching me after they finish their 500lb set of Gateway Arch deadlifts.

 

[fufu]

save those extra-long pulling sessions until you get back home.

 

[Gazhole]

Smashing it in here, buddy. I love it! Great to see

Nice squatting, too by the way!

Fuck fuck fuck. Knee popped on me and may have torn my calf muscle in the process. Feels like the worst cramp I've ever had and I can hardly walk. Awesome. Otherwise it was a great session. Took some PKs and muscle relaxers and I'm icing and elevating..

Ok.. So there's a good chance that was just the worst cramp I've ever had.

I was thrown by the snap, crackle, pop that my knee made because it didn't sound like the normal.. snap, crackle, pop.

I couldn't walk at all on Saturday, and I massaged, iced, and rested the shit out of it on Sunday and could still hardly walk on it when I went to sleep. It was a huge knot all weekend. I woke up this morning and it was still tender, but I could get around on it pretty well and by the time I got out of work it was just tight with very little pain. So I stretched it, wrapped it up and decided just to see what a little bit of weight on my shoulders felt like and if I couldn't handle it, I was gonna do back. Well, by the time I got warmed up and did the bar a few times it didn't hurt at all. I was still a little shy though and I didn't want to chance anything.

I've been drinking a cup of coffee before I go to the gym for the past couple weeks and decided to give Jack3d a try today because it's so damn cheap. And it works. I just typed this entire paragraph of bullshit in 34 seconds. Loved it.

Hell yeah bro, thanks. A few of my friends have made mention of me looking bigger already too, but in reality I'm just getting back to square one. Like Gaz said some posts up, that's when the real fun begins.

 

[jagbender]

I hate leg cramps I used to get some pretty sever ones in my hams, would almost make me cry. Looks like Irenen will be merciful to the FL coast?? I was just in the outter banks of NC last week. glad I am not up there now. Glad to hear your "getting Bigger"

Great work man! Back workouts look real good!
