I'm very excited about a change in my cardio work. I used to play roller hockey a couple of times a week (I'm a goalie) but dropped out when I sprained a ligament in my knee. I've been looking to get back into it, and might have gotten a connection to start up.
The problem is I have never been a great skater. (That's where the nickname actually started.) I just found out the ice rink down the street has started doing open ice for $5 every day from 11 to 1. Now I can hit the ice hard to practice skating twice a week, rather than being chained to a bike. The workout should be just as good (if not better) and I'll actually get something out of it. Whoopee!

Sounds good there Brother!!! 
Upper HIT-
Incline HS - 140 x 8+5
flat db press - 45 x 10
decline hs - 140 x 6
rack pull - 295 x 12
chin - 85lb assist x 8
smith row - 140 x 12
smith mil press - 90 x 10 + 5
side lat raise - 20 x 12
front raise - 25 x 12
shrugs - 275 x 11
bb curl - 90 x 11
incline db curl - 30 x 9
hammer curl - 25 x 9
cg bb press - 125 x 11
db french press - 60 x 8
pushdowns - 150 x 8
Felt pretty good, but something still felt a little off. My lower back finally feels better (and yes, Kimber, I ignored it until it went away) but I gota kink in my upper back/neck during my w/o. It didn't really slow me down, but...well, you know how it is.

Hey Brother, W/O looks great!!! I get kinks sometime when I turn my head slightly during a movement. They usually go away in a few hours though. Keep an eye on it, hope it's alright!!! Now I'm taking a page outta your book:
LEG day today,
Tomorrow........................ you guessed it CARDIO

So I've got a pain running from my mid shoulder to my neck, like I slept on it wrong. So, while the wife was putting the boy to bed, I cleaned up, staying bent over to minimize the pain. Great plan, but apparently my recently cranky lower back has taken umbrage and is now also screaming for attention. This sucks....
Take care of that back Brother 
Generally on the MaxOT I do recumbent bike, but will do elliptical for a change now and then. 4 minutes of warmup, 16 minutes full tilt. I usually start at a higher level than I think I can handle and back off when I have to, but never never pace myself. I will also kick up the level if I catch myself not going all out. The idea is to give max effort the whole time.Yunier said:

OK, best I can figure I have a pinched nerve in my shoulder/neck from lifting yesterday. My lower back is a little better this morning, and I'm taking some anti-inflams I got for my shoulder a while back. We'll see how it goes, but no cardio or skating for me today.
Love it. I don't seem to end up as sore as I used to, but I get a much better workout and much more consistent on my exertion. Since I'm still in the cutting phase for a while, that's just fine with me.Kimber said:
I'm headed to a chiropractor at lunch that a co-worker visits. (Her appointment is right after mine.) We'll see how it goes. I've been wearing a sticky heat pad all morning, but it hasn't had much effect.
Apparently I have a pinched nerve in my neck (which I suspected) AND a pinched nerve in my lower back. Yippee!Kimber said:
He did an adjustment, which just made it feel worse. I am headed back this afternoon, so he can go over the x-rays and see if anything else stands out. He's pretty confident in the problem (or, as an alternative, kill me.) The good news is that these things will straighten themselves out eventually if you leave them alone. (Which, as you know, fits right in with my previous treatment program.) I think the lower back was alomst cleared up before I aggrevated it.
The anti-inflams should still help. A weekend of little to no stress should also help. I'm considering adding an ice cream/cake regimen, in hopes of either speeding the recovery or making the patient more comfortable.
Stephen Schoenherr. Know him?
No, just thought I might. There are so many chiros in STL b/c of the school though. If for some reason you don't like him let me know....I know a few great ones depending on which part of the metro you live in. Hope this works out for you though!
I forgot you used to live around here...Kimber said:
I'm out in Chesterfield Valley. I don't really know him yet, but a co-worker has been seeing him for a while and has seen great results, so I have a good reference to work from at the very least. If I run into any problems I will take you up on the offer. Thanks!
Hey Brother, just got caught up. Hope everything is all right
Your gonna take a break from weights right?

Well, I asked when I could lift again and the doc said at least wait until Monday, so best case I miss one day (today.) He said I could still do light cardio if I must.Archangel said:Hey Brother, just got caught up. Hope everything is all right

The lower back feels better this morning, but the neck is still killing me. He said the upper would take longer to heal up, but seemed less concernec with it. I guess it has to do with the amount of stress on the lower back. We'll see.
Hope it gets better for you. Glad to hear the Dr.'s not too concerned, thats a good sign Take care, and heal up!!!
Take care, and heal up!!!
Feeling a little better this morning. The lower back is pretty good, though a little tight. The neck has turned into a minor problem, with pretty good ROM.
The problem now is that when I can't work out, I tend to eat junk. So I gave myself the weekend to eat whatever, since I hadn't done it in a while. I didn't go too crazy, but now my body is reminding my of why I try not to eat that crap anymore. I am back on the nutri-horse this morning (I'm having oatmeal/PB/protien right now.) I forgot how much better I feel just from eating right. I have a dr. appt at lunch today, and hopefully I will be clear to get back in the gym.

Hey Brother, that Oatmeal/Peanut Butter/Protein mixture is the BOMB!!! Hope everything goes like you want with the Dr. Take care of that neck 
Hey Bubba, so I go away for the weekend and you f yourself up?
Man, I hope you are feeling better and are back at it soon enough...

Thanks...feeling at about 90%, but haven't wanted to get back too fast and reinjure. I'll probably hit the gym today or tomorrow and do a light full body run to get things moving again.
Well, I am glad that you are feeling better.Pylon said:
You should try the routine that I was doing before splits. It'll get the blood pumping flowing, the muscles moving, etc....
Hey Brother, glad your almost ready to get back at it!!! I'll be starting back Monday. I'm going to the Classic this weekend, so my fire will really be stoked, ya know!!! I tried to explain the 20 reps for legs, and 12 reps for uppers to Kimber, but if I didn't explain good, could you cover my behind and explain to her better!!! Glad your on the mend Brother!!!
Glad your on the mend Brother!!!
I'll probably run thru both sides of my split on about 50% wieght, plus cardio. That should sufficiently kick my ass without too much stress on the joints. The I can do cardio and light lifting for the next week while getting through some travel for work.fantasma62 said:Well, I am glad that you are feeling better.

It is CRITICAL that I am working out in some form before travel. If I don't get in the gym at all, my eating habits fall apart, and I mean in a hurry. As long as I can get some work in, I can keep myself in line. When I am about to go on the road, surrounded by good restraunts and hauling an expense account with me is NOT the time to screw with my intake.
Back to work, if only lightly. Did 12 minutes on the treadmill (7 of which were light jogging) and 10 on the bike. I can feel the layoff, but felt good to be back at it. Will probably follow with light cardio again tomorrow, lifting on Tuesday.
