My coffee tastes weak this morning. How could I have made such a grave mistake?[/quote]
last time i did this i was in a rush and didnt taste it before i put it in my to go cup. by the time i got to work i was so irate that my boss sent someone out for starbucks.
the sign says, “feed and caffeinate the powerlifter” also, “call refills 24 hrs in advance to ensure timely pickup.”
weird sign. hope u get another shot at that coffee thing.
and, OMNOMNOMNOMNOM.
Sorry to hear about the shoulder. I’ve fucked up most of my joints over the years but fortunately never managed to tear something off the bone. At least it sounds as though you have a decent surgeon, plus a really positive attitude. Sure you’ll be killing it again before too long.
And nice midsection. Nom indeed.
Very, very hot. I say that whilst thinking we have very similar bodies. 
Sweet! I think your training plan makes complete sense and its cool to see what a workout might look like when working around an injury. Thanks for that! And I’ve already filched the link in case it goes missing.
As for your pic…I’ll go make my lewd commentary in SAMA, but here I shall only say - DAMN! Nice abs.

Got some ART on my hammie. Feels pretty good. My ART guy told me I wear him out. I guess that’s good (?) Then, he took me to meet a PT who specializes in “cuff rehab,” as he called it. The facility is set up like a gym rather than a doctor’s office, which scored major points in my book. He answered a lot of my questions and said that I need to have realistic expectations about how long it would take me to completely heal. A year, he says. A fucking year. He also told me something I didn’t know, which is that I can further tear what is already referred to as a full-thickness tear. Shoulders are complicated.
shoulders are complicated…and so unstable 
look at you wearing out your ART dude! sounds good to me !
Well, my ART girl hasn’t said anything of the sort to me. I guess I’ve got to try harder.
Its kind of amazing me that you can do all that upper body work with a busted shoulder.
Ha! Wearing out the ART guy - why am I not surprised.
Oh yeah, I believe it, shoulders are complicated! And a year is a long fucking time…but the doc is right, realistic expectations will mean less disappointments.
Nice training Snap! Did you discuss training plans with the doc? Did he have any recommendations?
I would like to leave lewd commentary, but I am afraid of bears. Also, nice work on the supersetty shit.

One-armed chins! (Band-assisted, maybe?)
Sounds like you got referred to a good PT. A year is long, but not that long in the grand scheme of things.

Reasonable fear. But lewd commentary is welcome here.
So, Blue, I like the idea of one-arm chins with a band. That might be do-able.
Kimba, you’ll notice that I’m able to do “all that” upper body work with a busted shoulder because my elbow is essentially glued to my side in all of the movements, with the minor exception of the neutral grip bentover DB row. I can’t do any overhead or lateral work, which is where all the fun is, in my opinion.
So today was . . . skwatz. What a surprise, eh? Luckily I love 'em.

Bought some super skinny jeans this morning, which is a bit amusing since my legs are anything but super skinny. Anyway, I want to believe I look about 25 in them.
Sorry to hear about the shoulder tear and the surgery. With your attitide and tenacity I am sure you will be back at it before you know it. You will get there; not giving up is more than 1/2 the battle and you sound like the type of person that will just plug away until you get back to where you were, if not better.
Yep, Spirited, I intend to be better, stronger, faster after the surgery.
Just returned from my son’s school, where I was called in to “conference” about an “issue.” Apparently my son took a Mad Libs book on the bus en route to a field trip to the symphony. He and a few of his cronies apparently filled in the blanks with X-rated words and proceeded to read the resulting verbiage out loud to some girls, who filed complaint. I should mention that my son is in fifth grade and currently taking “Growing and Changing” in school, which, of course, teaches all such words. Okay, I’ll admit that the venue wasn’t appropriate. At any rate, my son is consequently shipped off to the school social worker, who calls me in and says that my son said that I have actually participated in such activities with him and my daughter at home. Yep, I’ve let my kids use “potty words” in the Mad Libs and thought it pretty funny myself. She said that she wouldn’t exactly label it a “pathology.” That’s the word she used. I think she needs to get a life. I am pretty liberal, but times have sure changed from when I was a kid.

Sounds like CHS. I’ve found out that that school has quite the reputation with the rest of the county schools.
nah, no need to be afraid of bears when its within logs. thats ALL KINDS OF APPROPRIATE!
snap, im also amazed that you can do all your upper body stuff with a busted shoulder. and yes, a year sounds about right for all the recovery times ive heard. please dont get to anxious when you exceed the docs expectations and try to push yourself too soon. you will, exceed their expectations, btw, bc youre being so smart about the whole thing.
and tell your sons counselor to go fuck herself.
better yet, have him tell her.
Wait, I am confused. I thought the blanks in Mad libs were FOR potty words??
