Great w/o! Weird though that the doc said alt db curls would be good for you! I think just the opposite! Awesome job though!!
 
Nice job on pulling 375 JD! :thumb:

Yeah that's weird. Even when he said it, I replied 'you sure?' :). Just shows sometimes you need go with your gut instinct. I was very happy that the deads and pulldowns didn't aggravate it. If I didn't do a curl for the next 3 months it wouldn't bother me. I want to get back to pressing as soon as possible though!
 
Hey JD,
Your Buckeyes almost blew one on Sat. :finger: Good thing Marshall's coach was playing not to lose and lost anyways. Sorry to hear about your injury. Hopefully you can get that referal and the Sports Med. Doc can give you some insight on what is going on. I have no advice to offer as far as your exercises, they all look great man!! :thumb:
 
405 really isn't much of a jump from 375 man, I know that you have it in you. Did you feel where in the 375 pull your weakpoint was? In other words did the lift feel easy right off the floor and then locking it out was tough? Or was it a b*tch off the floor but after that it was easy, etc.?

Tell me about it. I was hoping the Buckeyes were going to stop that stuff after last year :). Howabout my pro team? The Washington Redskins (I know... I grew up in the DC area and was brought up to be a Skins fan, then later I moved to Dayton, OH and fell in love with college football and the Buckeyes). Terry Bradshaw said it best.... Joe Gibbs has brought organization back to the Redskins organization.

I plan on just giving the elbow plenty of rest and focus on other movements. It IS getting better, albeit slowly, but it just needs to recover. No doc can wave a magic wand and make it better. If it DOESN'T heal after several weeks then I know I'll probably need surgery. I honestly doubt that though. Thanks for asking man!

How's things been with you?

I appreciate the inspiration Mike. Just a couple of months ago I was scared to death to deadlift, because I have had problems with my lower back in the past. But I am so happy with my progress, and my back feels MUCH better then it has in years. But I still am a bit apprehensive to progess too fast. Baby steps ;). I must say when I did 365 a month ago, I had trouble off the floor. I was very surprised this time that even with minimal back work 375 came off the floor somewhat easy, but it was hard to get the shoulders back. Now that I feel more comfortable in doing deads with my elbow problem, I plan on incorporating rack pulls into my program again.

Cardio

Elliptical Trainer: aerobic program, level 11, 30 minutes

First 6:00 am workout. Holy moly, heavy weights are going to be tough this early. It is nice not having to stress out rushing to the gym after work though ....

Things have been OK. I'm a BIG Joe Gibbs fan since he owns Tony Stewart's race car. My rotator cuff has taken forever to finally heal and its just about there. Hopefully by Mid November I can go balls to the wall again. :D Just rest that elbow and it should heal. Don't get frustrated and start using it and hurt yourself more. I've been tempted to do that but refrained from doing so.
Thanks!! :thumb:

careful squating early in the AM. Usually the recomendation is to not load up the sping unless you have been up for at least 1 hour. This is because the disk don't have their own blood supply. So through diffusion, as you sleep, they gather their nutrients and the get saturated and swell up a bit. This is why first thing in the AM we are about 1/4 inch taller than we are at the end of the day. The disks are also vulnerable under compression in this state. just thought I'd mention it.
 
Wow, I learn sooo much interesting things from Patrick!!

I like this journal JD! Keep it going, and nice w/o!

Good info Patrick! I just meet that criteria. I get up at 4:30AM, and start my workout at 6:00AM. When I get back to regular workouts and squating once a week, I might reserve squating for the weekends.

A little strange working out this early, but it sure is nice not having to rush to the gym after work.... I think I can do this :).

Ok, call me stupid but I decided to try a upper body workout. Hey, it's only 3 days sooner then Rock told me to take off. I've gotten to the point that in day to day activities I don't even FEEL a problem with my arm. It's only under stress it feels weird. I honestly think that a couple of weeks ago, I would have been fine if I had just kept the weights light. Instead I moved up to 225 for 8. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I think I'm back to that point, so here we go. I must admit, I can feel it slightly afterwards. No pain, just a slight tingling. I will rest for 3 days. If I can't up the weight by 10 lbs without problem, then I'll take another 2 friggin' weeks off.

Powerwalk for 47 minutes.... in the early morning darkness. Started at 5:40 am :).
 
Friday, September 17th

Rack Pulls (6" below knee)
135 x 8
185 x 5
225 x 3
275 x 3
335 x 3
385 x 1
405 x 0

The power rack at my gym sucks. For rack pulls I have a choice of 6" below the knee (weight is suspended about 3"-4" above the floor), or just above the knee. When I got to 405, I couldn't even budge the weight. Thought maybe I had a bad setup, and tried again. Couldn't move it a bit. Fuck. I have the feeling, if the weight was on the ground, I could have at least got it moving....

Front Pulldowns
90 x 15
105 x 12
120 x 12
135 x 10

Very strict form... rehabbing elbow.

Hypers
+50 lbs x 15
+50 lbs x 15
+50 lbs x 15

Crunches
50, 50, 50
