(Skip to about the 4:19 mark)

Workout felt okay. I’m clearly weaker with the neutral grip inclines, but they don’t bother my shoulder as much. I don’t feel my chest working as much though, so I think I might experiment with some Pec Deck for a while and ditch the pushups for a bit. I’ll have to play around with those though, as fly movements seem to bother my shoulder, but I think the Pec Deck might be doable.

I’m still getting that weird pull/knot feeling in the back of my armpit. I’ve been trying to roll and and stretch it out, but so far I haven’t made much of a dent in it.

Some guy at the gym today asked me if I was ‘taking anything’. He said I have ‘blown up’, which is nice to hear, but I don’t see it. I’m nowhere near the strength I had even a year or two ago before all the issues started. Go figure…

Thanks for posting that mdtv link. I watched some of Kai Greene’s videos, and he had one about glute training. He used this lift called a jefferson squat which is basically a deadlift with a split stance and the bar between your legs. I tried it in my garage and holy shit it works glutes like crazy.

That’s funny cause I just finished watching that video myself. I was thinking of trying those as I think that would be a good glute alternative until my back starts to feel better.

You should just give everybody the answer they want to hear. Even if you never touched gear in your life, tell them that’s how you achieved everything you’ve ever done. I’m going to try it for myself, see where it goes.

Shit! I hate when I’m not thinking clearly and miss an opportunity to mess with people in real life. I could have even given him a fake source to where he could buy gear from. Damn!

It should work out to be pretty entertaining. I have people at my gym that are deadset on the fact that I’m running cycles. I always denied it, now I’ll just tell them I do. Try it, we’ll compare reactions.

On another note, I’m really looking forward to my cheat tomorrow. I’m going to take before and after pictures and post them here.

Oh, and I only mean before and after pictures of the food. :slight_smile:

I’m giving blood at 2:00 pm, so my schedule’s going to be a little tight tomorrow. I need to hit the gym and do a few things before that. After the blood donation, I’m going to buy some food and then watch movies the rest of the day.

Will do. Next time someone asks, I’ll tell them I’m using. I’m going to make up some good steroid names too. I used to tell people I took Creatine Polyhydrate and Pterodactyl Sulfate. They are very advanced supplements, the latter being made from the ground up fossils of dinosaurs.

LMFAO

Tell them you found a rare testosterone that was sucked out of old dinosaur bones. It cost you 10,000 just for one cycle. Minus the Tricerotops estrogen blocker.

Serious shit right there sir.

Hope the blood goes better this time than last. I gave on Tuesday and she gored me a little bit, but not like yours.

Saturday 02/21 - Back, Rear Delts and Calves

Had a great workout today, despite feeling rushed.

Pulldowns: 210 x 5,5,5,5,5, 220 x 5

One Arm HS High Row: 140 x 6, 145 x 6,6, 150 x 6,6

One Arm HS Low Row: 140 x 8,8, 145 x 8, 150 x 8

Incline DB Shrugs: 100 x 8,8,8,8

Rear Delt Machine: 150 x 8,8,8,8

DC-Style Leg Press Calf: 450 x 20 reps (about 10 minutes for the set)

Then I rushed home, showered, and then headed back out to give blood. The blood donation went fine. It doesn’t look like they screwed up this time.

I’m going to eat, watch a few movies and chill for the rest of the day. First movie on tap: Zach and Miri Make a Porno

That, is a serious… SERIOUS cheat meal, and I sir… am jealous of you. Never have I see a half man, half machine cyborg 7 foot tall thing eat so much food.

I shall lightsaber your head off while you are slow, and reign and supreme star wars fan.

You can get better cookies.
