My sister who's been sick for about....15 years, just got on the elliptical and did her first workout in over 1.5 years. Was ten min long and burned 50 cal...but she did it and its awesome!!!

 

that's awesome man!

 

Every year around new years I thank the lord that I purchased a legit home gym/cage for my garage

 

What does she have, if you dont mind me asking? 15 years is a long damn time to be sick.

 

Well no one knows...however, she's had organs removed, exploratory surgery, sleep studies, pace markers, blood cell counts, etc done over the last years. She was found to have a low vitamin B12 count, I think gall bladder was removed for functioning at like 17%, random fainting spells.

Just recently they found Endometriosis scarring during an exploratory surgery and removed that.

 

Jesus, that sucks

 

best wishes for your sister man!

 

Thanks guys, she'll get it back, I know she will...lol she's like me, sent me a text saying that she did it and it feels lame...hell no! She should feel awesome!

 

That's my new favorite one. I hate the smith machine.
Only thing it's good for is when chicks do squats.

 

Well, I was about to fall asleep behind the desk and pushed myself to do a shoulder workout. Now, all I have left for the week is legs! Going for 405 on deads tomorrow. Don't worry, I've got the HoveRound on standbby

 

Make sure you take a shit before you do that.

 

Always. I'm not going to have a repeat of the 'Great Shart of 2010.'

3x3 405 rack pull

 

That's a good start to her workout journey. Hopefully she can keep it up. That is a ton of medical issues!

 

Squats = DAT ass!!!

 

do you even potato

 

One of my rotator cuffs has been uncomfortable the past month or so, so I've been taking it easy. Has anyone had any experience with that? The guy that runs my gym said he injured his pretty bad when he use to compete and it has never fully recovered. I've eliminated pretty much all of my exercises that made it uncomfortable, but it still feels sore sometimes reaching for my back in the shower and during similar movements.
