3-28-05 Monday Biceps
Its been a while since Ive done any training worth posting due to these 2 disk herniations. Ive messed around with some 30lb dumbells for concentration curls to try to maintain somewhat, and Ive just started training the grippers again, and hit around 25 reps on the No.1 gripper which isnt too far off from my best of 32-33 reps. I weighed in at 181 clothed on a gym scale earlier, and arms are down to around 17 5/8". I went to one rehab session and have 2 more this week. Got some shots a few weeks ago too, in my back. Didnt seem to help any. My posture is really bad too which is something I need to work on. Ill continue with the rehab and see what I can do. It probabally wont be much training at this point, aside from the grippers and light bicep work. Concentration curls dont seem to hard on my back. Ill have to wait it out. I went up to 45lbs for 15 reps on the concentration curls, I went up to about 120lbs on the preacher machine for some reps, and did some hammers up to 45lbs for 12-15 reps. Also some double biceps style cable curls with 80 for 12-15 reps. 11-12 sets in total. Very light maintenance work. Also my strength level sucks after being out of the gym practically 2 months. I know if I could train normally I wouldnt have much problem getting it back. Maybe in 8 months of hard training to get all the strength back, and size in the chest and back. Arms probabally would come back sooner. Ill atleast try to do what I can for arms and look for some alternative exercises for other body parts that I might be able to do. I do have enough M1T for a low dose 2 week cycle when Im ready to train hard again. That should give me a slight boost in helping me get back. Its useless now though. Ill see how my back feels tommorrow after this light session.
