140x8 was very motivated as I got in a fight with a 60yr old man over the machine haha He went to report me then I reminded him what he said to me after my set "I don't give a fuck what you are doing or who you are." When I reminded him of that he quieted down. However, I did go over and apologize to him about how things worked out. To bad he didn't want to return the apology:) Stubborn old fart

Rear Delt Machine
2sets 7reps

Done

Good workout. The hardest part on the raw bench was the decent. I had no problem pushing the weight up. I guess it's just been awhile since I have been able to have some good raw bench work.

It has been an even longer time since I have gotten into it with somebody at the gym. Prolly b/c I have avoided the cardio/machine room. I swear every time I go into that place some rude sob thinks he has the right to literally push me out of the way to get on the machine i'm using.

Good workout and it only took about an hour. I like the old school feel of this gym. This place is also freaking huge and has everything you need. Only wish it had better benches and iron plates instead of all of them being bumper plates. However, it's pretty cool being able to throw shit around and not having to worry about it. Oh and the DB's go up to 200lbs :) not that I will need them

Good workout at the new gym. It has a lot better atmosphere than what i'm used too. Also, this was the first day that my back wasn't killing me. The only time it hurt was when I had to bend over and load plates

cardio:
eliptical type machine for 12minutes pretty high intensity

just want to get back into 2lower and 2upper body days a week. I will also be starting two cardio sessions a week. However, none of them will be over 20minutes. This is just to get into some type of shape while still increasing my lifts and decreasing my bodyweight.

leg presses

plate pinch work

Done


Looks like i'm going to start doing leg presses and some hypers for 3-4weeks to let my back heal up. It sucks but I can keep my legs and back in shape and still heal up. Only bad thing is my core lifts will go down. Also, once I start squatting and dling again I am going to cut out ab work on my bench days and move it to squat days. I think having tired abs might contribute to this some

good workout today however, I was by myself b/c Adam got shipped off to Minnesota
 
hurt my left foot really bad last night. I was walking out of my g/f's apt. with a load of laundry and I don't know what happened. All I remember is feeling a terrible pain in my foot and falling on my face. I thought I rolled my ankle or something but my ankle doesn't even hurt.

It swelled up instantly on the top of my foot. Towards the outside and middle of the foot as well. It got up to the size of a cue ball last night and was hurting pretty bad. I iced it quite a bit and today the swelling has gone down from a lump to an all over swelling on the top of my foot. While it is not necessarily bruised it is a light blue color that is more the color of a vein or something

The super shitty thing is that the bottom part of my foot is hurting today too. I can barely walk on the damn thing so i'm not sure what to do as I don't think I have health ins. anymore.
 
I'm bored looking for a job so I figured i'd throw up a few pics of my hurt foot. This is also after icing it for like the milionith time
:lol:










 
yes it does. It is a lot bluer than what it looks the flash took a lot of the color away

Foot is getting better but I still couldn't push on it like I needed too. It's hard lifting off the weight by yourself that is why I have switched to a closer grip but lifting off myself is prolly what is hurting my shoulder too
 
throat still hurts but I need to workout. Not sure if that was the smartest thing since I haven't eaten much in the past week but I didn't care

150'sx2 first one was a super pause. Mostly b/c I started the press from around my throat area. It was hard to kick up the weight by myself and get started in any sort of pressing position.
