Went into the Dr. the other day. No new news for my surgery which sucks , but it's in the system. I am also waiting on a phone call to book a CT for my back. Hopefully nothing serious there , but better safe than sorry.
Did a full body workout today
Lunges
Seated GM's
Pulldowns
Rows
Dips
BB curls
standing over head tri extensions
reverse bench
CT came back.
3 bulged discs and a compressed nerve.
I need to go get another scan done ( more in depth ) because they found some lymph noids that don't look right and they need to see them better. Hoping for the best !
Doesn't look like I will be squatting or deadlifting for a long time. Physio will start in the New Year.
damn dude, sorry to hear...hopefully recovery will go smoothly and you'll be back better then ever
I'm annoyed. I was hoping to catch up with you and instead you go and break on me. Get yourself healed up. I've been skipping workouts for so long that I'm still behind.
I'm going to find it hard to quit , but if I have to I have to....
There is always the bench !!
Mapped out my New Year Bench workout plan found here : http://iron.forum0.net/t19-official-...nformation-amp
Week 1
Mon 6x6 70% 220lbs assesory work ( triceps and back)
Wed 7x5 75% 235lbs assessorry work ( shoulders and abs)
Fri 8x4 80% 250lbs assessory work ( triceps and back)
Sat 10x3 85% 265lbs assessorry work ( shoulders and abs)
Weeks to follow I will add 10lbs to each set. 4th week will be a deload week and continue on after that :)
Assessory work will change on a daily and until I see how I react to this program I will keep it basic. The first few cycles should be easy, but it's still alot of benching.
The percent is based on my 1RM - I would use the comp raw max at 340 , but since I haven't trained in awhile I'm using 315lbs. So it should take about 12 weeks to start to see any real gains in the bench, but I've got until July to make some big improvements.
I also ordered the sling shot today and I'm going to go and pick up a cambered bar after the New Year instead of an SSB since I wont be squatting .
wow that sucks ass about you back how do you think that happened, from years of lifting or what?
Heavy squats and bad genetics.
shitty man have a good new years
Quick 2 min walk.
Foam roll ( shoulder & back )
Flat bench ( ****ing smith machine )
3 Warm up sets
Working sets
6x6@220 ( 2 plates plus 15 since it's a smith machine )
90 sec in between sets
Still unsure how much weight difference there is with this machine. No bar weight ? Should I put the 35lbs of weight that the bar would be and add that with plates ?
Assessory :
Tricep - db cross face
Back - bent over rows
Shoulders - front plate raise
