Notes.
felt ok for first time training- til about half way through.

B trap bar- weighs 45 the low handles are too low the high handles are a little higher then a reg bar. Problem is the plates the 45’s are the same height at 35’s they suck.
had a hard time with a good arch.

C RDL- again had a hard time with a good arch tried these with straps dbl overhand
not really a strap guy- but they seemed to help my elbows.

D Bulgarian splits need work

E Needs work -

I felt detrained but think I performed ok.

Good to be back

Fuck those heavy Ipods. I’d complain to management.

Welcome back. I’m glad to see you. What changed to kick you back here again?

3

Good to have you back. Its the heavy rock on the ipod that makes it weigh so much. Get some light flitty stuff… like Bieber. :slight_smile:

4

Damn its good to see you back. Glad you got the ok to start lifting heavy stuff again. Looks like all the bodyweight stuff is paying off, because those are pretty good weights for an inaugural workout.

5

Ill be watching this one K! great to have you posting again.

6

Great to see you moving heavy shit again! What did the doc say you CAN’T do?

7

Sweet!

OH squats

doesn’t sound so bad

9

Don’t forget you can still do jump squats with dumbbells.

10

Great to see you’re back. Sorry to read about the neck and shoulder. But your list of acceptable exercises looks good.

11

Welcome back Kevin, that sucks about the restrictions but its great that you are back and still able to work around them.

12

Thanks people- I appreciate the support

felling the love and the DOMS already.

FarmerBrett I like how you think.

E1 curl to press bar 2x10
E2 seated db power cleans 10’s 2x20

Notes:
ok the bars at this gym suck im at a family ymca- so I can swim with the kids

A high pulls - these felt good- 185 only got to nipple height so I stopped there

B pullups- neutral grip on everything seems to work better for me-
these might be ok- if I can manage to keep my neck vertical and not be in extension.
Needs work
however the high rep OH db presses are the shit- high rep = big swole

C dips- +45 needs work dips and face pulls good combo

D some ab junk- the pull ups and OH presses let me know , that inactivity hurts the obliques

what else- I love training in YMCA’s you get the best cross section of life.
very little brotard factor yet high entertainment factor

I love seeing the truly old people in the gym- its great, but I can live without the old man ball shots in
the locker room.

thanks for reading I need to catch up on all you folks.

13

Yay! You’re back!

Ooo NYAC. Jealous. They’re like the Emerald City of Oz.

No Pullups would make me sob too - but it appears you solved that.

Jump squats FTW! I just tried these with a BB - loved them!

Old man ball shots. Do.not.want. No offense…JK!

14

I hated lifting at the YMCA but mostly that ws because of the their not having a place to squat/deadlift so that must be a location thing.

I’ve got to start duing ull ups again.

Damn fine work.

15

hey Kev, congrats on getting back to training. Very impressive first day back.

I used to travel to OH alot and used the YMCA gym in New Philadelphia. It wasn’t half bad, but the squat rack was old and a little wobbly. no power rack of course.

16

Good to see life can’t keep you down!

17

Thanks people…

Hey Kevin - it’s good to see you’re able to get back into lifting again!

A question on the etiquette on tipping a massage therapist - In an office setting where one pays the receptionist before the appointment, when is the appropriate time to tip? My last appointment, the masseuse just disappeared afterward and I had to give the tip to the receptionist. I would have preferred to give it directly to the masseuse, so Should I have tipped her before starting the appointment?
