Weightlifting/ Workout

[94jettameowpsst]

I was into bodybuilding til last April, pulled 545 and 3rd rep I bailed. Was using straps and when I was almost at the top I let go, we'll my right strap unhooked like planned but my left strap didn't. Pulled me down to my left side and now I have a c5/6 bulge and a t7/8 anterior left herniation.

F straps and f this injury because it gives me ALL the symptoms of a heart attack when it's inflamed.

I'm 5'8" and was 208 w abs peekin through & a 56" chest.

Now, not so much :/

I MIS THE GYM

That's why I always say if you need straps to lift it, you aren't ready to. Sorry to hear about the injury.

RY, good job man, how long did it take you?

The only reason I used straps was because the gym I went to didn't allow chalk which is usuly all I ever used. I could do static holds with chalk with almost 800lbs but when I do deads my hands turn into buttery slick meat piles an I can't hold shit w out chalk or straps.

Actually just started running and lifting light again in hopes it'd make me feel better but there's sooo much I CAN'T do there's almost no point.

However @211lbs I can still do 12 pull-ups and I just benched 245x8 the other day

Not bad for not lifting since last April

Hell yea! Today was a great fitness day!I lifted next to Matt Barnes today! Not as buff as I thought he was up close, and doing light weights but he might have just been doing warm ups.

Then we had some assembly about fitness and they were giving out 3 month memberships to Equinox (which is expensive AF usually) in the push up contest, and I did 56 military style to pick up the W. Even beat out the guy who benches like 480 or something crazy like that, he did 53. But he could easily squash me still if he wanted to at anything else. I'm better at endurance training usually so I wasn't really that surprised.

some MasterWill personal goal accomplishments, 3 months ago I stopped my bulking phase & started my leaning out phase in my workouts, more cardio, stricter diet I had reached my heaviest weight of my life at 205 lbs 33 percent body fat & it felt pretty good because all my life I've been a shrimp at only 5' 8" I graduated high school weighing 125lbs so I was happy to finally have some weight on me, now I'm down to 180lbs & 22 percent body fat, down two pant sizes I also need to buy a new wardrobe because my clothes fit very differently, as I've grown older my goals of bulking up have changed to a more leaner look, on my job I crawl around up in attics & up under houses running wires, the new slimmer me feels better, I can get around smoother as well & I can show my two sons how to live a very active lifestyle so I'm gonna just keep it lean & healthy w/plenty of stamina, say it w/me folks, hard work pays off in so many good ways, hell yeah!

Bench press comeback, week 2: 225 for 7,6,6,5. Big jump from last week. I'll probably stick with 225 until I can do 4x10. don't want to rush it.

Also lost 3 1/2lbs in a week without changing anything. Pretty clean diet, couple 211's a night, and gym every day FTW!

Hey guys just got back into lifting weights last week, I've made great gains so far.

My only problem is my pre work sup, I'm taking white flood, its great product a little to great. I can't seem to sleep I've only been takin 1 scoop, do you guys think it would be ok if I take it 2 hours before I even hit the gym?

Or maybe take it in the morning?

I work out around 5pm and don't fall asleep around till 2am or 3am

White flood isn't like most PWO its a cleam boost of energy, I have more focus and pumps thru out my workout even around 2am I have great pumps if I flex

I just joined a local crossfit gym monday...damn! It's tuff but it feels good afterwards. Today we rowed for 1000 meters then immediately did snatches and sit ups. 9-6-3 snatches and 15-10 and 5 situps without resting and alternating between the two. I was snatching 105 pounds. The whole workout was 10 minutes but it wore me out. I'm trying to get ready for the tuff mudder in tampa in december. I'm 210 now and want to be 190 by the event..main thing to change is my diet.
