Hey that workout sounded super fun! way to go 
SOOOO nice to have a buddy, no?
I am very jealous of your workout. What fun! A sprained shoulder is no joke, but the diagnosis could’ve been worse. But you sound upbeat and like you’ve got an awesome plan to work around the issue. YEAH!
Sounds like the training was a blast and its always nice to have an attractive traiing partner.
Sissy squats are evil as hell, and they light your quads on fire INSTANTLY!
Awesome training masch, and good luck with the shoulder flexibility and recovery.
I’m glad you guys made your gym date happen <3
Sorry about the shoulder, they’re screwy little things, no?
At least soccer is the real football and not the football where you’re holding the ball 99.8% of the time and have to throw it and dislocate your shoulder… 0:)
Maschy and OMO?
Dangerous combination…
IMO~

Oh we talked Edgy…we talked…mmhmmm
Matty! Thanks for popping in neighbor! 
Shoulder dislocates with a broomstick? Got it! I’ll def do that - esp now with my beach umbrella pole doing double duty.
Breeee! Hi chiquita. Actually I NEVER train with a partner because I’m a terrible training partner! But working out with OMO was sooo easy and fun! Probs because she did all the work and i just giggled and said, “this is hard”. Whatever!
Thanks Kimba! I am pretty upbeat actually! I mean, at this stage in the game, dealing with injury in some capacity is pretty much on par. lol! So what’s the use getting all down and out. I figure its best just to recoup and then focus on something else. Like life, training has its ups and downs, no?
You ain’t kidding Joe! I’ll say it again - so.much.better.in.person! I’ll see if I can get some of our pics up just for you 
Hai my juicy chuleta! Yeah, those sissy squats are deceiving! Totally burned up the quads.
lol Nik! You’re nuts.
Didn’t end up training today. After soccer and OMO I figured I’d take the day off. But the rest of the week is fully organized with practice, shoulder work, full body fun-times including sqwatz and deadlift variations and…first game of the season! Woot woot!!
I shall report back any interesting updates. Til then, keep killin’ it y’alls!
MashyoMO combo? yum!! Are you low in carbs? teehee
I have yet to meet a fellow T-Nation’er.
I hope you stick around for awhile!
glad to hear you have been having some fun and enjoying yourself. am sorry to hear about your shoulder, though. i was hoping it would just be a ‘tweak’ that would come right with a few days inactivity - but sounds more serious than that. glad you went to get a doc to check it out. looking forward to hearing about your soccer updates!
Ahem… I believe I was promised pics…
I saw the girl crush pic. Very fun! Good luck with the shoulder rehab.
hey I want to take the Mascherano Abdominal Challenge re: your original avi pic. What do I have to do??? Note: I cant orgasm everytime I do a situp like SOME PEOPLE (points finger at Maschy…)
^ LOL!!! That was a special moment in time. I will never look like that again. Its like looking at you at 19! Well, those days are gone. I believe the weighted situps thickened me right up! In fact, I’ve actually stopped training abs directly and only do 1 day of pilates class - you know, to to keep things ‘toned’. And I will say, I do feel the difference and my squats are much weaker for it. A strong core is so important! Oh well.
Thanks Powerpuff! So yes, Joe. Pic is over in SAMA - tread carefully.
Thanks Alexus! And its ok. I realize the reality is that I’m getting older and my muscles are getting all hard and tight, so i need to be proactive about that - stretching them out and stuff. Plus as we get older we don’t heal up as quick. Ahh, youth…shakes fist at sky
Training has been sketchy. I blame it on coming off of the deload and having my bum shoulder. I need to do something! I’m starting to atrophy.
Today i did legs - got in some front and back squats. On the front squats didn’t hit my target of 5x130 and only did 4 reps. Bitches were hard. I blame my weak ass core. Maybe i’ll do some high reps at a lower weight, see if we can tighten that up.
Oh, Maschy. Is your shoulder really hurt? Makes me wanna come fix you up.
Don’t sweat the training set-backs, if you’re injured take the time you need to rehab and get better.
So, how’s soccer season going?
Oops, accidently hit submit - that’s ok, its like the “wrap it up” button.
Anywho. This sunday we play THE hardest team in the leauge and we only have 13 girls coming, so this probably means a full 90. Woo hoo! Imma smoke that shit. I pray to god that my hammie holds up. I feel like its 100%, so i believe i’ll be fine. Whatever! Balls to the walls! I just have to make sure I warm up properly AND cool down. Game is early too. Gonna get my carb-load on the night before
Other than that, i feel like my upper body is atrophying, so i’m going to have to do some sort of upper body training. Tomorrow will be the rest of the legs I skipped tonight (got into a convo, lost my groove), shoulder rehab and mobility, and then this thing that is called, and i quote, concurrent training.
Goes like this:
3 x 5 pullups
5 mins jumprope
3x8-10 DB bench press
7 mins running (i’m excited to see how much i can clock!)
3 x 12 pushups
5 mins bike
We shall see…
Stay well people
Aw! Thanks Veg. I bet you would fix me right up!
Yeah, I know you’re right. I’m stay optimistic though.
so weighted sit ups did that for ya?
hmm… weighted sit ups, eh? i’ve been avoiding them, but if they will build me abs like that…
i feel like my upper body is atrophying, so i’m going to have to do some sort of upper body training.
haha! i remember when you were worrying about how ‘bulky’ your upper body was getting. glad to hear that you are feeling nervous about losing that ‘bulk’
hope you have a blast at soccer and give 'em hell.
“Concurrent training” sounds fun in an owie kinda way. Sorry about that shoulder sprain. Sucks. But, fully fixable with time, which means time is on your side.
90 minutes of soccer is an impressive feat of conditioning! I just wish you didn’t have to think about that hammie at all.
I often lament the limitations my body places on my ability to train. If only I could run as much as I wanted…but, maybe it’s a good thing that our desire and our will are our strongest attributes. I guess I really wouldn’t want it the other way around.
If you start calling yourself “old” imma smack your butt.
I think I speak for everyone when I request a Maschy footie video.
