October [censored] thread
 

Liked last month's, figured I would start a new one.

Near the end of Starr 5x5, week 3. It's [censored] tough as balls. Squatting after deads is so tiring it's ridiculous. Getting good results though, so I am liking it.

Keep telling myself to add light arm work at the end of my workouts and I never do. Pls to be changing.

How are you guys doing?

Gonna do my 4th Starting Strenght session tonight.

After wednesday's session my legs felt like noodles. I had played basketball the day before, and I did 30 mins of squash after the session which might have been kinda foolish.

I was getting worried I might be to old (32) to do 3 squats a week. My quads still felt stiff yesterday so I took a break and today they feel fine. Hopefully that means I'm getting enough recovery between workouts to continue on the regular program.

I'm also keeping track of my diet using fitday.com. Man, that site rocks. I'm averaging around 38/31/31 for protein/carbs/fat, and about 2400 cals. a day (all pretty clean).

My hands are developing calluses. That's expected, but is there something I should be doing so I can avoid bloody hands and open sores?

Re: October [censored] thread
 

BK,

with the "stuff" that i do in the gym i get some unreal calluses and hands that rip up, but i found a pretty good solution: use bag balm or something equivalent at night on your hands and file down your calluses. use one of those files that is made for rough feet and it almost eliminates any chance they will split/break/bleed. gl gl.

not foolish, but smart to do something after squatting.
you aren't too old.

your diet is great, nice work, keep it up.

Beat: Sprained ankle 3-4 weeks ago and hardly could walk. One week later I hurt my left shoulder while training. Byebye training for a week. Then I couldn't train legs or triceps, biceps, back or shoulder(ldo) so I quit strength training for a while and sat on the bicycle at home for 40 mins a day. This week I felt ok and started training and on thursday I felt really sick and it comes and goes from time to time now!
[x] The ground is harder than it seams when you jump off a double construction pipe looking thing!
[x] Training under time pressure makes you hurt yourself
[x] First time in about one to two years I've acutally felt sick!



There ain't no [tsentsure] brag here!

Re: October [censored] thread
 

I love tricking so much. The problem is a lot of the kicks require some insane flexibility to look good, and I don't have that. So I've been doing a heller lot of stretching, hopefully I can do the splits in 6 months or so.

Re: October [censored] thread
 

DEXY,

YES!!!! People, stretch more. TRUST ME. Your goals? doesn't matter, stretch more. You already stretch? doesn't matter, stretch more. TRUST ME.

Does leg day ever get any easier? I feel fairly incapacitated right now, and I think tomorrow is going to be worse.

Does protein powder go bad? If I mix some up with water in the morning and then don't drink it until evening, am I going to get sick?

Re: October [censored] thread

I'm not sure about the sick part but it sure does smell bad.

Re: October [censored] thread
 

I'm heading towards the last week of my 5x5 routine as well! It's been pretty tough tbh because I'm at school lots and I have lots of homework; and to top it all off, I am not getting much to eat!

I think slowly but surely though I'll get my weights up. I might not be gaining much weight, but at least I'm "maintaining" by going 3x a week!

Re: October [censored] thread
 

So went in to the see an ENT yesterday. He looked at my CAT scan and poked around my head for a bit. Verdict: slightly displaced orbital fracture. BUT: he says I'm good to go for a game tomorrow because even if I get hit in the eye again it really won't significantly affect my chances for re/further injry. Holy Cow sweet! Still waiting to hear back from my school clinic and I have to see an ophthalmologist to make sure my retina isn't torn (wtf), but crossing my fingers for a quick return. Totally pumped! But please no more fractures, concussions, and torn ligaments plz k thx.

As you all probably know, kyleb has left 2+2. As such, I have volunteered to take over modding of this forum because I probably am one of the most active mods on this forum... don't see too many green names around here I guess. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: October [censored] thread

Re: October [censored] thread

You got a concussion as well? Be careful man, once you get one it's a lot easier to get another. And when you get multiples it can eff you up.

That was just a joke quote from an old song, by the way, not a knock on Thremp or any of the modding in this forum so far.
