thank you
... just woke up from a nap.
I was in a horrific car accident this morning. No one else involved, just me and a slippery road hill and a very very steep hill of dirt on my right that pwnd my car. My car is totaled, it looks like it was rolled over multiple times. I was seatbelted. All i got was some abrasions, one bruise, and a swollen side of the head where the curtain airbag hit me so i didn't smash my head directly on the window. cat scan said my dome was anatomicaly correct... but they said they can't fix my brain function, lol.
I have 10 vic's to use...they gave me one in the ER and thankfully that kicked in and started working sooner than later; my head was throbbing like no other.
Gave me a tetnus shot in the delt while i was there too.
Going to try to eat protein and get in good solid food in when i can... appetite is nonexistant right now. Back in the gym end of next week hopefully.
Thank God is all I guess I can really say... I guess it wasn't my time yet, must have some more business to do here...

Wow. Glad to see you are ok. Remember, dying is very counterproductive to your training goals. It costs you huge amounts of lbm.

Thanks guys 
Slept 7 hours... went to bed at 4am... that 5 hour nap yesterday, couldn't go back to sleep right away.
My right delt is sore and tender to the touch... damn nurse and her pressuring me into a Tetnus shot update, lol.
Na, no dbol... i tried to get a case of test cyp vials though
Time to pop another half of vicoden, that's how i'm dosing them... it takes the edge of pain off without putting me in a fog of uber medicinally sedated.
Train hard for me guys... my first day of week 8 would be today.

Thank you guys, ck, and Bunninator
I'm glad WSM (World's Strongest Man, espn) is on til' around 7pm tonight Loungin around and eating, lol... can't beat that right now.
Perspective, yeah... I still can't believe it when I look out the window and see my car there... looking like Godzilla used it as a soda can to smash on his head. And it snowed yesterday so it's marinating the interior all over the leather and dash...everything...
Happy New Years Eve to all... enjoy it in some way or another!!
Appetite is good today... i'm eating plenty
Kab: Car wrecks are not often profitable... i'm just hoping to be able to get what's it's worth retail from the insurance if they Total it (which they should IMO)... and hopefully get enough to buy replacment aftermarket audio equipment that was ruined, and the medical bills, ect (actually i need to write up an itemized list today for everything)... I did all I could so far this long weekend... I have to wait til' Tuesday to move forward and hear back from the claims adjuster though.

I can still smell that too... along with dirt, gasoline, and the <30* weather that was coming through the windsheild while driving.
Thanks man... yeah i could probably go and do some light squats but i'm gointg to relax and take it slow... end of next week i'll be in the gym.

Thanks bro... lol, yeah... i dont' even have a bruise across my chest or abs from the seatbelt.... i'm a lucky summa bitch that's for sure.JKurz1 said:

yah yah... it's still ambitious I know
I'd be happy with a solid 240...that's very possible/more reasonable goal for a few months away. Though we'll see how it works without pulling heavy and squatting 3x week heavy... unless my back is 100% within that time.
Hell when i started seriously bulking in sept i was up 15-20 lbs in a couple months I think.
I just ate 2 large slices of amazing apple pie made from scratch... had some MPI protein in water with it too
Coleman doesn't have much more potential to go though at his level... it's not like he's going to be 400lbs at 4% BF lolJKurz1 said:

sbt, al, quad, jp: Thank you. Doing better, not 100% yet though... thankfully I was barely injuried at all... though my hearing and vision is a tad off which is kinda scary... and I need to set up a follow up appt with the Doc for that.
lol, no they didn't have to cut me out. It was like i was in a protected pocket... my door opend and passenger did too (coupe)... but front, front side quarters, rear, ect all blown out.
I'm already done with the vics only used about 3 of 'em. They work for the first day or two and then after that i'd have to double up even to take the edge off. But pain is fine now thankfully.
I can't wait to get back and bang some iron around the end of this week or weekend. I'm eating like i'm training currently, keeping fuel abundant.

Will you change the layout of your training now that you're squatting again? This seems like a natural time to do it, since you got the bench PR(s) you wanted from this training cycle and will be coming off a nice (unplanned) deload.

Not really, my abs aren't strong enough yet. My lower will still act up if I go heavy.
I was going to stick with the 2 squatting days going as heavy with 8-10 reps (maybe up to 15) as I can (95-135lbs)... Front squatting. Front seemed to feel better.
Other than that, i'm going to see if I can't sumo DL without putting myself in the ER, lol. I'll need to remind myself to ease into that too, even if it's with just the bar at first

Finally! This forum is always more fun when your journal is up and running.
A few comments:
1. lol @ the New Year's crowd. Have I mentioned that I love working out at home?
2. How the hell do you forget to squat?!?!?!
3. Can your back handle Pendlay rows again? If so, they would be a good lift to push, especially if you're not deadlifting heavy. You could hit two plates for 5 in this training block if your numbers at the end of your 5x5 were any indication.
4. (blatant hijack/off-topic) Is anybody else getting a D-Blade ad at the top of the page urging you to "try [D-Blade] now" in German?

1. ya, ya... I like the gym atmosphere. As much as I don't talk to anyone or socialize, I like having the ability to use the yoga ball for cable work when I need to
2. It's not ingrained in me to go to the squat rack at every session anymore, I didn't write it down ahead of time as I do my workouts.
3. I'm going to give it a whirl for sure I remember I got 205x3 by "trying" them out again a few weeks ago. 225, more than reasonable goal if my core can hold out... i think it can.
4. I think I've seen that once. Mostly I get AF, AG, STERIODS AND BEYOND (that's always a good one to have a work at the top of the screen), and other junk... as a Plat, I hate that... and even the backdoor/expertpcsupport doesn't block that anymore last time i checked. bullshit.

sarge...just started doing knee raises with a a 20 lb db hanging from my feet....i felt these more in my lower abs then any other lower ab exercise. you can do them either haning or off that dr.looking contraption where you can do dips on but also work stomach on.

hahaha, yah i forgot about the roid store, I guess i'm already used to seeing it 24/7
Planks, yes... will be back to doing all that i need to do. Didn't have time last night, was going to do a long good one, but only had time to shove some brocolli, chicken down, clean up, and sleep.
Back is "ok" ... as expected from not doing a damn thing for 7 days. Will see chiro a few times for sure. And I have a gift cert. for deep tissue, will save that for when it's really needed in a month+ or so after i've been back in the groove for a bit.
MM broly... no doubt, you bring up your rows and I'll bring up my bench... deal? (YGM... incoming in a few)
Apparently I must have been all discombobulated from all the antics of the new people everywhere yesterday throwing me off my "zen like" zone... damn squat rack.
I'll get some squatting in today before I start hammering my back.
Thanks JP I'll give 'em a holler back yougin' W00T W00T...
ok, somebody shoot me. hyper today.
Side Note:
I feel like such a fat ass. I didn't until I was getting ready for the gym... because I was all out of gym mode and trying not to care much.
I won't worry about it for about 2 weeks after eating has been consistent and lifting/cardio back on track and whatnot...and take it from there.

Squat, GP Rows (if that's FUBAR'd..T-bar up to 4+ plates), DB Row, Lat Pull down... and I may try and pull a few sumos to see how my back holds up... all depends on how GP Rowing goes.

No. I only do TBar to replace Bent over freeweight barbell rows because my lower back problem. So when I do t-bar it's using the chest support leverage "thing." in the gym... not a barbell in the corner.JKurz1 said:

Fucking spammers...
If the Pendlay rows work well, you should probably move deads to another day (at least in subsequent workouts). I've always pulled conventional, so I don't know how much less sumo deads hit the lumbars, but it doesn't make much sense to have your two heaviest pulls on the same day once you start increasing the weight.

Agreed.
Preliminary GP Rowing goes well --> Deads in 2 or 3 days (probably on my Day5)

Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log
That's what I was thinking.
Now that you're used to the ab work, it might be time to get into a set plan in terms of reps and frequency (maybe 2-3 days/week) and start adding weight. Start with a 2.5 on your chest and keep increasing the weight in 2.5-pound increments as you get stronger.

SGT, have you ever thought of pulling dead sumo style??
i recently switched and let me tell you, if you stay up, tight and scapulas back, majority of the lift is done with the legs. It honestly feels like a reverse squat sometimes....
just a thought for your back...
when i pull conventional, my back is involved BIG time

MM: Sure have, and I've tried it. Well see how i do with rows. Now that i think of it... maybe i shouldn't throw too many things in the "bag" at first, go with the rows for a few weeks (if my back can hold up) and then start pulling heavy a couple times a month.
Trying to EASE back into things as best I can...

I only lift 4x a week, btw.
My training is fast paced though... i only rest for long periods when I can't breathe... I'm realizing that's hurting my strength so I try and take walks around the gym when I notice during workouts.
Probably #% or so (Numbers are relative, what's 13, or 17 or 5% on me, won't be the same on you or anyone else... so i'm not even going to go there), yeah it's not bad... but it's been better, and it's been much worst.

I felt like Chris Farley in fat guy in a little weight belt trying to crank it over just to get in the last prong holes, LOL*
Farmer Walks: 95's, 105's, 115's ... I always get the weirdest looks walking around, fuggin' mind ya business! ... though I think it's the cloud of chalk that was following me around the gym today that was annoying people

Ever try stretching your hip flexors (Psoas and Rectus Femoris) between sets on DL?!
That position puts your pelvis in an anterior tilt and o.k. I just erased this and put I know instead of possibly, hip flexors are tight. If you sit all day and then go do those you need to be incorporating some hip flexor stretching.
I'm actually taking my DL's out for awhile because of this very issue. The psoas connects from the lumbar spine to the lesser trochanter on the leg. So if it's shortened your going to get low back pain as well since it pulls on the spine.
Anyway

I'm actually taking my DL's out for awhile because of this very issue. The psoas connects from the lumbar spine to the lesser trochanter on the leg. So if it's shortened your going to get low back pain as well since it pulls on the spine.
Anyway

I haven't fitday'd in a LONG time. I'll have to find some time and make it a point to add some custom foods there and see what i'm getting in exactly for reference to tweak when needed.... good call bringing that up.

Just make a habit of stretching your hip flexors before and after every WO (once your flexibility improves you can stop doing them before upper-body workouts). It'll be especially helpful on squats since you won't get "pulled forward" as a result of excessive tightness.

opps, LOL...alcohol, actually should be added... i'll do that in a minute. Had a newcastle today out with some food after what you'll read next.
Today's been a "good" eating day... been out trying to find a replacement car for my previous totaled vehicel most of teh day ... I hate used car salemen. I figured i'd have to try, never again.. Going to beat up some dealership guys instead thursday.
So i found something ... drove it to my "guy" (know a guy that owns a dealership) had his mechnics put it on a lift and go threw it... ridiculous, flood damage aparent, looks to have been rolled, carpet in the back has covered up wit baking soda nasty stains, some body panels have screws in them on the exterior, ect... Carfax didn't show it either it showd "commercial" ownership/title which seem to have been dealerships covering up stuff or something... / rant.
lol... from food to my car searching woes... ah, welcome to my log

FF thank ya borly! CS, will do. Shadow, sure did. JK, imagine eating all day whatever you want for the most part (minus junk food and sweets, mainly hearty meals... meats, ect) and just keep doing that. Enigma, thanks bro I'm gettin' there.

Well you can hit the psoas and rectus by just adjusting your foot position.
If you keep the knee bent on the front leg and the lower leg straight you hit rectus, if you position the foot slightly to the side you can hit psoas.
I'm talking the stretch you do on one knee where you lean your upper body back and push that hip side forward.
No problemo I got your back (No pun intended) LOL
