Starting a log, training like a madman to work out my anger!

[NoFatChicks91]

Thank you sir. I squat with a shoulder width stance or at least try to, sometimes when I'm getting worn out I catch myself goin out wider but I don't really mind. I just try to get shoulder width because I feel like it challenges me more.

Hah man I saw this old dude squatting over 225 the other week and his feet were like maybe 6-8 inches apart and he was going nearly ass to ground. I couldn't figure out how in the hell he was doing that! Narrow ass squats.

Ah, I got wide. Not powerlifting wide but wide

Still checking in on you bro...no more drinking, cut that shit out! Don't overtrain...3 hours in the gym is too much, instead go for a.bike ride or run, get outdoors and enjoy some life, get your gym time in and hit the weights hard, but take care of yourself in other ways too bro...need to relax as well!

That's why I think 5/3/1 (Jim Wendler program) with bodybuilding assistance work would be perfect for him. The "off days" Wendler says do some form of conditioning/get active. It'd allow for rest and still fill his urge to go to the gym. (I outlined a version of a 5 day split in an earlier post)

Nofatchicks-love that name btw lol- purchase 5/3/1 2nd edition off amazon. 1 of the Best lifting books you'll ever READ and NEED. It's maybe $20

Hit shoulders yesterday, did tons of dropsets, higher rep ranges.

Cleans were 5 reps, form was looking much better

Thanks a bunch for suggesting the cable crossovers and face pulls guys, my rear delts feel like they've been raped! The good kind of rape

After shoulders I ran 3 miles.

I finished my 4th round of antibiotics 5 days ago, and I'm pretty much fucked for the time being. The first round got rid of the strep completely, but it came back. Since then when I'd get on antibiotics all I'd have was a red ring around my throat, no soreness though, and didn't feel as run down.

So they kept it from getting worse at least. Well, I can't get any more. I don't like the way the doctor had me take the same exact antibiotic each round either, if something fails 4 times why not try a different antibiotic. Idk I'm no doctor.

Anyway, I've had strep throat for coming on 3 months now. I got it probably like 2 days after a late night with she who shall not be mentioned. Don't think that's a coincidence...

Long term solution might be having tonsils removed, but that can't happen till Christmas break.

I have an appointment with a specialist next week, and by then I imagine I'll be running on willpower alone.

It really hit me last night. At its worst when I first got it, tonsils were almost golf ball sized, you could see the gland protruding out of my neck, and tonsils had pus on them. Attractive, right? I know!

Anyway, my tonsil on the right side is lookin pretty fuckin red and extremely swolen. Also looks like there's pus. I'm already feeling a little off, it will probably get worse though.

Don't think for a second I'm not going to still hit the gym with all my effort. This is getting very frustrating haha and it makes it worse knowing who I probably got it from.

I had my tonsils out about three months ago best plus worse thing in my life lol not trying to scare you but when your in your in the aneasthic room ask for anxiety jab its amazing lol. And when you recovering rest be leave me after a week I went back to work. Your spouse to have 2 weeks rest but anyway coz of that I bleeding badly and got rushed in for a second op so make sure you rest

Man your workouts would kill me with that crazy volume. 20 rep squats are no joke. Congrats on the squat PR!

 

[NoFatChicks91]

Thanks all you guys.

I'll have to check that program out for sure I'll look for it later to buy it.

Yesterday I worked arms with my boy. I included KB curls thanks for the idea buildingup! Those definately worked my arms in a completely different way, That contraction at the top is fucking intense man! Love it.

We also practiced some squat cleans. I'm not at all naturally athletic and those are tough for me. 70 lbs x 10 was whooping my ass haha. But holy shit those are excellent workouts. I'm afraid to try 135 lbs just because I'm a little iffy at catching that clean in a front squat. So I'm going to stay light with those for a while but I definately need to do them more often.

Did like 20 mins of cardio I think too.

Didn't work out today I was out all night with tha boys. And one of our other buddies came back from Afghanistan and yesterday was his first day back. Behaved myself and only drank beer. My friends ended up dragging me to a, uh, strip club. Never been to one of those before that was interesting. Probably won't ever go back lol. Been havin loads of fun lately, I'm finally starting to feel at peace with myself and genuinely happy for the first time in honestly almost a year. I'm not proud of myself for going to a strip club though

I might go in to the gym tomorrow and work on some stuff, do a little cardio, etc. But it couldn't hurt to just take the whole weekend off either.

 

[rustilldown]

Yeah man find the healthy balance that is needed. With time you will be fully recovered from the hardships of the past. Keep up the good work bro. And a weekend off wouldn't hurt. It's hard to do though I always feel guilty as hell !!


Ride it like you stole it!!

 

[Buildingup24]

Nice job on toning back on the booze, I went out with this girl friday night n limitied myself to 2 drinks as well haha. Moderation man!
Squat cleans--i like that. May throw those in tomorrow. Glad you like the KB curls-its a whole different world.

 

[rustilldown]

Hey , I think I'm starting to let loose set me strait p


Ride it like you stole it!!
