Meath_Villan Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Speaking of deadlifts. Just heard a friend of a friend has had to have an operation on his back after failing at 200kg. Did he hint what might have happened .....I was speaking to a guy in navan the other day who blew his back when he went in to a 160 deadlift after been away from the gym for a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 15, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2013 When I go back it'll be at 50. Granted I'll probably ramp it up from there much quicker than the 5x5 normally would. But I'll be damn sure I can do it first before hitting triple figures. It's been too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So i've done something fairly awful to my shoulder. It happened while doing vertical raises (of the shoulder ilk) last night. Basically I can't turn or move my head to the right at all. To top it all off, I also managed to pick up a healthy dead leg while playing football a couple of hours before hand. As a result of this, i'm walking with a limp and a wonky head. Basically I look like an extra from MIchael Jackson's Thriller video. Should make tonight's gym session interesting, if not completely irresponsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: haha, nevermind. The gif didn't load and all I saw was a guy in the middle of a power jerk or a jerk and clean. What I'm seeing now when the gif is loaded is complete madness.

I would probably give the gym a miss and hit the sauna instead followed by a massage from a naked Chinese girl in high heels This is what I should have done. On reflection, 2 consecutive days of punishing 2 hour sessions was not the best way to remedy a bad shoulder. I even managed to get through a chest session at 90% of my normal ability last night. Sooner or later my shoulder's going to realise that i'm not listening to it's complaints. Back and Bis tonight, i've already lodged an appeal for exemption from the reverse flies.

ME Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Completed an hour workout in 41 minutes I am DEAD! Because it's been horrible weather almost no one has been showing up this week so my trainer said "good, that means I get to push you much harder" WTF!?! I assumed simply killing me was all that was left. I was wrong. "And my buns, they don't feel nothin' like steel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
