Time to face the jury (and myself)

[Devlin]

Gary-Thanks. The legs are starting to , but they haven't reached ....yet.

Boiler-Thank you too. I decided what the hell if I was going to be sore may as well really be sore

Billie-Given that I live alone, I welcome this family. Someone is around almost all the time. The legs aren't screaming yet, but they grumbling at me.

If anything right now, my left knee is like :wft: did you do to me. Climbing stairs is painful on the left knee, but otherwise knee is achy and I can deal with it. I really pushed it yesterday to see how much it would take and I was able to do more weight than I expected. If the pain and achiness decrease through the week I will repeat the weight, if not will revise plan.

 

[Burner02]

Burner-If you get to double you pleasure, double your fun, so do I

hhmmm. hey! If there were TWO of me...that would be...AWESOME!
We'd be dangerous! YEAH!
One of me could work my full time job continue with my computer education and get better and higher paying job, the other could do real estate full time...
One of me could do all the lifting, the other could do all the cardio...
Meet the 'Dev twins' and...WHEW!

 

[Burner02]

Squats felt great today, but I think I may be leaning a tick forward when doing them. I seriously considered increasing the weight more on squats, but decided I better play it safe. By the time I finished the dalf raises my legs were shaking, but nope not done finished with walking hoping to easy the legs a bit. Didn't work, instead layed in sauna and stretched. I still limped out of the gym and my left knee is not too happy with me. Ended up downing advil with first swallow of protein shake. I know tomorrow my legs are going to be saying did you do to us.

We are masochists and pain is our friend! Good job with the leg workout.

 

[Devlin]

Burner- The knee doesn't bother me as long as I'm sitting, but walking it aches and going up stairs it painful. So far advil takes the edge off the pain, but not completely. I put freeze gel on it this morning and will again tonight. So far it more of an annoyance than anything.

DB- Thanks. Me a body builder Nope just want to be thin with a hard body. I injured my left knee years and years ago, but never had it "worked" on. A few months back after going heavy on squats (200lb on squat machine) it started hurting again so I backed off the weights on leg day. I have been building the weight back up and yesterday was the heaviest I have gone on squats in a long while. I have been increasing the weight on leg presses and have been up to I think 130 on the leg presses with little knee problems.

Trip-That we are. If I'm not feeling the workout, I feel I didn't work hard enough or lift heavy enough. Thanks, I was really happy with it.

 

[b_reed23]

well, at least you DID squats!! I couldn't get my usual weight up today....I had to stack steel until 2am last night....back was NOT happy today!!

 

[Burner02]

No can do Burner, I live on the third floor. Have to climb a couple flights of stairs.

 

[Burner02]

well, was worth a shot...

 

[King Silverback]

FANTASTIC w/o Sister Devlin!!! Excellent #'s in here!!! You just gotta find that "Groove" on squats, and once you do, it's like nothin to continue, your doing incredible imo!!!

 

[Burner02]

speaking of doing squat...er...squats...
there I was....doing my inc. BB Bench press this morning. This PT had some kid....showing him how to do squats...incorrectly...
he didn't have the kid go full range, and didn't tell the kid to keep his head up...(was looking more at his shoes)

 

[Devlin]

well, at least you DID squats!! I couldn't get my usual weight up today....I had to stack steel until 2am last night....back was NOT happy today!!

Someone got a full body workout last night

 

[Devlin]

Burner-It was a nice try. Actually knee is not feeling too bad right now. However I don't know if it cause I was popping 800mg of advil about every 6 hours today or if it becuase the DOMS in the quads have kicked in

Arch-Thanks that means a lot to me coming from you. I know what you mean about finding a groove on the squats. I feel I hit a nice groove yesterday, but I still feel I was holding back a bit so I didn't "blow the knee out". I'm also a bit concerned that I'm leaning forward on them and want the form correct so I don't injury the back. I need to do a few watching in a mirror showing a profile view.

Burner-Not good of the trainer. Atleast the trainer that taught me free squats made a huge point to look up and straight ahead. Actually he had me do them square infront of a mirror and watch myself which I still do. It may sound strange, but watching in the mirror helps me keep my balance and the bar balanced when doing squats.

Actually, that's not strange. A lot of folks use the mirror for proper form. I thought that's what they were there for. Oh, that and to check out women without staring directly at them.

Burner, if you were a real gentleman, you'd offer to carry Devlin up and down the stairs.

[Devlin]

Women do the same thing to check out the guys. Plus I'm too the point if guys want to look, watch, stare, drool as I lift, I don't care. I grabbed the cambered bar yesterday for SLDL and proceeded to do them right smack in the middle of the free weight area, right next to the rack for the bars. There was no way I was carrying the 80lb bar too far, not at the end of my leg day through the crowd that was working arms.

[boilermaker]

Hope your knee heals up soon, Dev. Keep up the good work.

 

[DeadBolt]

I have to agree with doug....only time I like mirrors LOL.

If you dont mind me asking how did you initially injure your knee and where is the pain?

I felt "saucy" today and did dumbell SLDL in the middle of the free weight area...drop sets even!! WE ARE SO EVIL!!!!!!!

 

[Burner02]

[Burner02]

oh, but I am....but this whole 1k + mile separation...I've got my limits...

 

[Devlin]

DB-I'll get back to you later tonight about how I injured my knee.

Billie-You go girl

Burner-Thong? They hurt after a while and granny panties are a no no.




Burner--2-ohh come on just hop on a plane, say it to scout out properties

Well the knee is feeling, well...normal today The quads are still suffering from DOMS Boss let me out of the office today and I got to work in the field for half the day. Got to see and play with a couple really cute babies, but now I'm back in the office doing data entry Atleast I finally finished 2005 all 7500 plus exams. Now onto 2006....
