You know it's bad when you get into your car while running errands and it smells like a dirty ballsack.... Lmfao and crying at the same time. I think I need to buy a car air freshener lol.
I am not surprised after murdering them like that lmao. Nice WO bro!
This made me lol errrrr fabreeze fabric fresher is the way to go its kills the odour not masks it lmfao!
Yeah def using that...don't need an upset wife either (for when she gets in the car) lol.
It's amazing how some women don't find "eu de ballsack" appealing!
It's all the rage in France....

Mate if your leg is bruised it means you're bleeding internally, might be an idea to let it heal before straining them again....

Noontime for ice hahaha, def could have gone heavier but like I said I was by myself and didn't want to risk it. Leg def has black and blue and actually has a bump in it hhaha.
Going to do rack pulls tonight, looking forward to see if my leg is goin to be an issue or not.
Hoping tonight I can pull 500 for my rack pulls...we shall see.
I achieved a similar issue today with track pulls a lump with bruising but it was worth every bit![]()

Dead! No ntkts either feeling good.
Bro that bruised hamstring of yours looks nasty! Only time my legs have ever looked like that was after a kickboxing match..... And I needed a week to recover from that!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defeat is the stepping stone to victory.
I used to do 3 sets of 10 per exercise, then it went to 3 sets of 8 @ 80% my 1 rep max, then after I joined EF I increased the sets to 4-5 and reps went down to 4-8 so the weight could increase. I've had much better results lifting heavy with lower reps. I still like to go for high reps though, as I'm training for kickboxing as well as bodybuilding functional muscle is important to me, no point having a knockout punch if you can only throw 1 at a time.
Most peeps do much better on heavy weights with lower sets and reps. As a matter of fact IDK of anybody that does not.
This is why the 5x5 is such a succesful program for dam near everybody that uses it and really gives it a chance.
The high reps is fine if you have the strength to use a decent weight to do those high reps with.
As for me I will continue with the 5x5 till I get big and strong then will investigate higher reps. And that should make me bigger but not stronger. But at that point who the hell cares? LOL
What is big and strong?
This for me
Bench 5x5@350
Squat 5x5@350-400
Bent over row 5x5@350
OHP standing 5x5@275
DL 5 reps@475
Dips my bod weight + 100
So afer I get these casts off and get thru therapy that should be 2 or maybe 3 rounds of SL 5x5 back to back with a week inbetween.
Just my opine bros and you all are welcome to yours too.

Thanks bros.
Much love for all of yous. (no homo)![]()
good call, its always best to listen to your bodyHopefully will make the gym today as I had missed the past two days. My leg day from Sunday physically crippled me and I am only now recovering from it. Opted to forego fasted cardio this morning as my legs are still tight and achy and I don't need to set myself back any further. Although I would have been training shoulders and tris on Tuesday i literally could support my own body and was in agony and was extremely weak as my body was focused on trying to heal itself. Still tired and feel pretty weak but we shall see. Oh and my best friend and his wife are having a baby today so not sure I will make it or not, depends on how his wife is feeling and all that as he may want me to go visit.
Diet has been good though even though I haven't been in the gym so I am pretty happy about that.
If I the gym today I want to get in shoulders and tris.

Man I so love rack pulls when that dam old bar bends so that you can see it!
That makes you feel STRONG!
Dam nice on those pulls bro.
Where did your leg bruise at bro?
Ive never seen that before. Getting a brusie from rack pulls.
You must be doing hella damage to the muscle fibers which I think could be a good thing.
But then again maybe your actually did damage or maybe your just a bleeder.
Is this normal for you LG? When you do heavy lifts.
I was wondering this same thing. Something about that doesn't seem right bro!
Hmm have to think on this...
Man I always hate those team building exercises. So inconsiderate, some guy you work with falls backwards and you gotta stop texting to catch him!

Hahha. No wasn't that actually. Was bowling and our dept head actually bought beer for everyone too, was crazy! Lol. So free lunch and free bowling an beer, can't beat that lol.
Now that's the kinda team you wanna build!

Had lunch at an organic restaurant with a blood type diet...AWESOME!
And o's can donate to anyone...which is why I get asked to donate blood all the time lol.
Do they still want your blood if you've been injecting juice? One of the things that precludes you from donating here is injectable drug use (if it ain't prescribed) also male homosexuals can't give blood here, not sure why, maybe they're afraid it can be passed on...

Well finally got into the gym this morning for some cardio, 40 minutes and 683 calories on elliptical. the past week has been rough with getting to the gym and as it is I didn't make it yesterday and today isn't looking like its going to happen either.
Have def cheated on diet a bit this weekend as well, so not feeling good because of that either.
Really feeling discouraged as of late, scale isn't really moving a lot and sometimes it seems like its going up and I am having a hard time judging whether or not my bodyfat is going down (if it is I don't care if the scale is moving up but I am simply not sure, I feel like I am just where I was at the beginning of competition, maybe a bit better actually but not by too much).
I am also going to go see dr next week and get some bloodwork done because I want to see where my hormone levels are as i feel they might be low (ive been doing research of signs and symptoms of
Low test and have to say I think I am showing a lot of the signs which sucks cuz if I am that would possibly mean trt and I'm going to be turning 28 next month). I also need a new dr anyway so might as well get both done at same time. This dr, and his wife, also does bodybuilding so it seems like it will be a perfect fit.
Thanks you guys really appreciate it. It seems that I am in a real rough spot right now and it's super frustrating. I have the dr appointment so I am goin to have him check my levels anyway.
Seems like muscle isn't going on, far isn't coming off and I am just stuck right now.
I don't know, feeling depressed a bit. Will still go to the gym and push myself and hopefully I can get things going but who knows.
You will you have just hit that wall that everyone talks about and if you keep pushing you will break through it and the reward will definitely be worth it
