Do you think it could be the starting of arthritis?

It could be. If you joint is really achy it is possible. the only reason i saw possibly a small tear in the meniscus is becasue you said you knee gives out at times which is a prety big sign. If it was a fulll tear you would be in terrible pain. Small tears don't require surgery usually (if you have a conservative orthopedic). They do however require a small bit of PT and then you are on your own to deal with the pain factor when it hurts. That sucks about your Dr. That is the problem with free health care. American's bitch about having to pay for a health care plan but we get more specialized treatment that way. You ahve to deal with whatever you can get since that guy has to see everyone. You saying you play sports and lift, k=makes you a problem care for him.

worked out at 5:30am today. felt good. Weighed lighter this AM. Drank a lot of water. That is good. I am holding a ton of water and bloated as hell from the creatine right now. Been getting 2 gallons (aprox. 8L) daily though. Strength felt good. Increased everything from last workout. Back and chest got super pumped and full. Diet has been dead on!

Actually on 2nd thought the only time my kness give out is on leg days, doubt its related. Joints arent achy. Its also both knees more or less. I'll tell you what though, I can not do hack squats...they irritate the fu9k outta my knees.

I'm just not meant to have a nice set of wheels...even when i do hammies, it feels like some tendon is gonna snap back there or something.

thx

Actually I usually workout around noon. I didn't ahve a 6am client today so I cranked this out before i started at 7. Usually I am up that early to shower, eat and get to the gym to start training people.

 

[Cold Iron]

Hey, if you dont mind a have a couple q for ya

1) a national certification
2) if i am working in the gym for the gym they charge $85/hr and I see $33. If I am working outside the gym, on my own, anywhere from $50-75/hr depending on how far I have to travel to the session.

Most of you are probably looking at this workout thinking "god, what a weak workout". Honestly it was one of the hardest 20min I have ever spent in the gym. I was so sick by the end of it and walking was out of the question. I worked my ass off today. Started with squats. First 20 were easy. Second 20 I got to 17 and banged out 3 more for an even 20. Last set i hit 12 and pretty much failed. Could I have gotten 8 more?? Probably (I hate assuming things) but I know for a fact that the last few reps would have gotten uuuuugly. So I was happy with 12. Starting next quad workout I will up the weight and try and go for sets of 10 with 60sec rest inbetween. I am beat on the high rep work here and the leg press is high rep also so i see no point in doing both in this fashion. Leg press was killer. Added 50lbs to what I was doing last week. These were all quick reps, no lockout at the top and no rest pause. Just burn it out. Inbetween sets I rolled on the floor, blurry vision and all. Thought I was going to puke!! After the second set, durning my rest, i had to run into the bathroom as i felt my nuts go up into me so i wanted to make sure they dropped back. Everything is hanging fine right now. I get scared leg pressing as all I can ever think about is my friend "big" pat (yeah, i am "little" pat) leg pressing heavy weight and blowing his asshole out. the exercise just scares me...lol. Finished with some single joint stuff. I couldn't even do another set of leg curls. I was absolutly beat!!

Looks like you are working those 20 reps squats That looks like 20 minutes of Hell

it is nothing to do 20reps with 225. I have done many sets of it but when you are only allowed 60sec. they take on a whole new dynamic!

 

[yellowmoomba]

I would say it's EAZY to do 225 x 20 (for most people) But with only a 60 second RI between sets - I bet it's brutal

yeah, the first set is a cake walk. what happens next is out of my control..lol

Hey P, I got a question, do you juice, I saw your list of supps and nothing was listed. The pics look awesome. Either way I hope you take this as a complement. Thanks

no, i am all natural. never touched steroids or pro-hormones either for that matter. My supplement list is pretty short too. i just eat a lot of food and i am short so a 5lb gain can go a long way on my body.

 

[P-funk]

Either way I hope you take this as a complement

I do however own a shirt that says "No I am not on roids but thanks for asking."

LOL, a lot of people ask me if I juice. I got a bunch of pm's about my pics asking if I use also. I don't understand really. I honestly don't think I am that big or look that good to be using shit.

 

[Spitfire]

Thats cool man, Its cool knowing that you dont need roids to get that big. Its kinda disparaging thinking only get so big without it, but Id be happy to look 3/4 of what you do.

Wow, I can't believe you finished that workout in 20 minutes. That is crazy. Nothing can bring you down!

I felt really sick.

Some guy was nice enough to help me break down the leg press and he was like "dude, are you sure you are going to be able to walk out of here today?"

I looked green......lol

Awesome workout, funkytown. You're a masochist. I love it.
