Heavy keep it up man. [/quote]

thanks man.

Mike I kind of hit a PR today if you call it that. 3 months ago I was doing pull ups and chin ups with the aid of a jump stretch band. Yesterday I super setted Dips with a 45 pound plate and chins with a 25 pound plate hanging off my belt for 5 sets of 6. Doesn’t sound like much but it made me smile. BTW allot eaiser to do when you weigh allot less!

good stuff Colin, I know how you feel…strange how my chin-up strength is inversely proportional to my body weight. hahah

whew, just got off work and needed to decompress, it was a pretty traumatic night.

so last few:


arms-

  1. hammer seated dip machine- 10 total sets including warm-ups, top set 3 plates each side X 10 reps. this
    machine feels more like a triceps exercise than the other machine which I feel much more in my chest.

  2. standing ez barbell curls, 25lb plate each side, 3 rounds of “21’s” ( I saw that freak Phil Heath doing these
    in a video posted on a thread about him in the BB training forum, so I had to give them a try, lol)

  3. seated machine chest press close grip press, rigged up a small empty bar on this machine and used a very close grip, tried to simulate a close grip barbell bench press- 6 total sets, 6-20 reps, top set was the entire stack.

  4. dumbbell standing hammer curls, 5 sets 10 reps, 60lb db with left, 30lb with right :frowning: btw, these were inspired by the same video I mentioned earlier, lol

  5. sprints


chest-

  1. flat db bench press, 5x20 x 50lbs, my neck did not feel good during these when I tried to go a little heavier(the 80’s) so I stayed with the 50’s and was pain free.

  2. cable machine standing chest stuff, from different angles, 10-20 reps for 10 total sets.

ran out of time, opted to skip sprints so I would have time for heat, neck mobility work, and cervical traction.


today, right after work just moments ago in my garage

legs/low body-

  1. glute ham raises super set with one leg squats with body-weight, 5x10

  2. back raises( on GHR machine) holding a 70lb db, 5x10 all reps with a pause at top

  3. tabata barbell squats, empty bar with 125lbs chain each side, all deloaded at bottom and all loaded at top these were BRUTAL, nearly passed out and then I puked.

needed the release, like I said, tough nite tonight at work, college kid came in, so drunk he was barely breathing with a GCS of 3, so we had to intubate him. NOBODY could get a line started on him, they called me up to the front to help, and I was able to put an external jugular 16 gauge in his neck and a intra-oseus in his right shin, then I intubated him, have not done that in a LONG time.

according to some random bro who I pissed off in the before mentioned thread, I am “a cancer”, who’s "only purpose left in life is to cry “dont end up like me”

lol

I think maybe one of my “life purposes” is to save lives, I know I did that today.

BTW, still following Fischer’s rehab plan, and as of right now, I am able to type this entire post without my right arm or hand going numb.

do not want to jinx myself, but maybe I am getting a little better and can avoid surgery.

yesterday:

shoulders

standing military press 10x10x 50kg

dumbbell seated press, 5x10x50lbs.

Man I used to love to do EJ’s, only did the inter os on kids, when I was in ER was not doing them in adults. I started out as a Respiratory Therapist so I go to tube a lot of people, after becoming a nurse they would never let me (fucking stupid). Great job on saving another life probably now to many to count.

Great job on the workout also.

What thread are you talking about with the cancer comment?

Heavy,

How is everything going man?

I don’t know why you even offer opinions on stuff in the other forums. Everyone is an expert on getting big and swole don’t you know…

scroll down.

Ya, we were giving him warm crystaloid solutions (you know you are not dead unless you are warm and dead) through the IJ, but we needed to start pressers on him as well when his BP dumped after we gave him Succinocholine to intubate him. so we really need that line, and in adults, it is very quick and easy to find (the shin site for IO access).

true. I should have known better, you cant post in the BB forum unless you subscribe to the accepted dogma/conventional wisdom preached over there(read that as : agree with everything Professor X says and swing from his nuts constantly).

as far as how I am feeling… i have good and bad days. usually related to if my work schedule allows me to do EVERYTHING we talked about as far as prehab and rehab goes. saw a big improvement initially, but have stagnated some at this time. I have a stretch of 5 days off in a row next week, hope to get back on track then.

Remember takes time to heal up.

Oh my God. I know I’m new to this stuff, but really? A Cancer? For suggesting that powerlifters and olympic lifters can actually have good physiques.

I really don’t have anything witty to say about this. Simple idiocy.

Great work by the way. 200kg squats. Light. Hilarious.

Hope the neck is feeling better.

Just catching up. nice work. Love the avatar! :slight_smile:

When I took BTLS they were just coming out with using more IO’s in adults, they had that I cant remember the name but it was for the sternum. This has been 6 years ago now.

the same device can be used in the sternum, anterior shin, or humerus. the preferred and (to me) easiest site on adult AND pediatric pt is the anterior shin proximal to the knee, the particular IO system we use has an electronic drill, and like I said earlier can be used anywhere.

haha, like I said, dramatic no? I guess if you leave a sheltered easy life where you get everything you want and nobody every disagrees with you, a little thing like that can seem pretty important, enough to get as “dramatic” with the language/insults like he did. haha, is the internet not just grand?

oh, btw, thanks, neck is feeling little better.

Fast. That was name of it I think.

I like you preferred the shin also.

I really like that island dressing with the built in secure device for the flush extension…NICE

I am going to lobby my dept manager to look into that one as far as our supply goes. ]

I know right, like I said I get out of ER and they started using these, I thought you knew about them.

we have what i think is called the “Easy-IO” it has the mechanical drill mechanism, and a extension tubing for flushing, but NOT that sweet island dressing with the secure device.
