Did lower body today. Deadlifts were fucking brutal. I barely made it through the first set of 330 lbs. The second set was a total grind, the bar was all swinging out away from my legs and I was using every muscle I had to get the damn bar up.
Squats went ok, but then again I'm only doing 190 lbs.
I know curls are much maligned, but I started last week just for kicks, and since a.) I can't curl very much, and b.) the numbers are going up quickly, I think I'll keep on. Anyone know how heavy those wavy preacher-curl bars are? (Less than a barbell bar, but I don't know how much less.)
My max curl is 115 right now on the straight bar. I tied a friend for max on curls. He curls all the time and I wanted to show that lat pulldowns/pull-ups were a better way to stronger biceps.
I guess it depends on if they're actually motivated because otherwise it can be a drag.
It was a fucking horrendous drag. I didn't actually realise it for a while but all he did was annoy me. It's completely killed any desire I have to lift, which is actually a good thing right now because I don't have the money to be buying a lot of food or supplements.
do you have a blender tube?
canned tuna
a case of diet coke
i'm just sayin'
and i got the heavy bag in my garage. attached it to the same beam as the garage door opener.
so now, i have a heavy bag, a jump rope and a 75lb sandbag. i'm rollin it old school style.

I finally decided I'd had enough and ordered some chalk. Sweet relief is in the mail.
Also -- is it pretty much a given that front squats are going to bite your neck? I feel like I'm limited more by how much my neck hurts than by how much weight I can actually lift. Well, I'll try to be stoic, and not wear low-necked shirts again.
Edit: I'm a fan of the beard. But then I'm also a fan of Iron and Wine, so take all my style advice with a grain of salt.
raise your arms into the folded position you would use when doing front squats
feel you collarbone at your neck and then where the ball of your shoulder and collarbone meet?
that's roughly the ditch the bar will be resting on
once you get more flexibility in your wrists and can get your elbows higher, you won't be choking yourself too much.
make no mistake though, you'll probably choke yourself when you first start, just don't pass out

i've never hit my neck in front squats. i think i've got the perfect body shape to do them though, there is a perfect little valley in the collarbone/shoulder area that the bar just fits right in.
now the bruising is another story.
So i have to completely strip my room of furniture due to a roof leak completely destroying the drywall in my room. I haven't been able to make it to the gym this week, and probably wont, and i'm kinda pissed. Also, i've been sleeping on the couch so the rest i'm getting is pretty crap. so annoyed...
No i think the only danger in drinking too much water is the possibility of washing out your electrolytes(or something), effectively making you very sick/dead. But you have to drink A LOT of water to do that. otherwise, chug away. i drink about that much as well, and i think water retention depends on your diet more than the amount of water you drink.
Man, you guys are all so pretty. I'll have to take some pics when I'm all cut up.
That will be never.
So I did four reps at 180 on the chest press machine yesterday. I know, Tube and chorus, that it's an invalid number because machines are for pussies. But dammit, there were 18 10 pound plates moving and I was moving them and I felt good about me. So pbthhhh.

Tube
really man
I can't afford sups so I'm not going to lift?
That's not you talking.
...I can't afford food.
I could send you a copy of atlas shrugged to motivate you
and get a copy out of this fucking country
seriously I can't imagine a world where someone as glib as you would be broke for long
get out there and hustle, young blood
I tried a set of those renegade row things before my nose was fully healed
oh man I almost passed out and I almost shit myself it was like giving nasal birth. There was a girl in the room and I had to fake it out, too. Word to the wise: Don't strain hard with massive amounts of stitches in your nose.

I think I will take some progress pics after I work out tonight.
do it, faggot.
hurf durf
angled pictures make my arms like xbox hyoogz
You get no back pictures because you can't even tell I have muscles there besides my traps.
Should I do back/bi's on Wednesday, or legs/shoulders?
I'd rather not do squats after donating plasma on friday, but I'm not doing deadlifts whenever I do back this week, so it's up in the air.

It's just great to laugh at the people who make curls an integral part of "becoming massive brah".
seeing as i won't be doing deadlifts the next time i lift (to see if that's what's fucking with my scapulae), i can incorporate them.
i would also like to be able to curl 135lbs for reps again someday.
Hey me too. I tried doing curls after a hard workout once and I could barely curl 20 pounds.
That is a hell of a curl DL. Is that standing with a curved bar?

You'd think so, considering how often he gets debilitating diseases.

Is this too much water? Is my body retaining more water?
Well, I do want to be the prettiest belle at the ball.
Also, how does your diet affect water rentention? More sodium = more water retained?
yeah i think that's a factor. i'm sure there's more to it than that though.
