NSAIDs can cause water retention; your gear can too. Keep tabs on BP just in case...

 

I'm only on two SARMs and 150mg trt. I read SARMs won't raise BP and so far it's been pretty steady.

 

Thats why many times when I run I do out and backs. Forces me to complete the distance to get back to the car LOL

Yes.

Yeah I just dont want to workout at home. I’ve moved away from lifting in the AM. I’ll run but prefer to lift in the PM when I’m not fasted.

 

My doc gave me an anti inflammatory gel for my knee since I can’t take the oral meds.
Kinda works like magic, although expensive as shit.

Is the shot working really well?

 

Shot seems to have worked a little. I have anti-inflammatory pills and gel

 

Back in the gym again today and it was rough. I failed on the final rep of skull crushers on my left arm, clearly that's my weak side. I spec'd some rep #s I couldnt keep up with so I adjusted in the first round and stuck with it. Final reps of each set and esp the last set were hard for me.

3RFT:
10 3pt DB rows each arm
12 DB goblet squat
8 Arnold presses each arm and alternate reps
30 Romanian twists w/ DB
10 sumo RDL w/ DBs
12 skull crushers laying on ground

I did body line work after I caught my breath haha: plank, right and left side planks, reverse plank, arch, and hollow hold.

Life is better after I finish a workout.

 

I once saw a guy break his nose failing skull crushers. You didn’t break your nose did you?

 

Fortunately, no haha. I just kind of rolled onto my butt when my left arm wouldn't finish on the up swing and put it down by my hip. I had already set the right hand DB down on the mat. Helps when you're laying on the ground doing these. And not the bench.

My core is stronger than my triceps haha.

Anyone care to share their fav DB exercises? I think I'm going to add incline bench w/ DB, split squats or single leg press, and farmer carries in my next circuit but im trying to find other exercises to add on. Havent scrolled t-nation yet but I will.

 

Arnold Press

DB Incline and Flat bench press with a twist added to the hand movement.

Lateral raises

Rear delt fly

 

12 days away from running. I’m about to die yall.

Fuck injuries.

 

Added rear delt fly to tomorrow. Gonna try to get a good squeeze in the shoulder blades each rep. Thanks!

 

This. Is. Bullshit. I just wanna train grip

 

Then quit being a puss and train grip.

 

My skin is a little bitch. Calluses need to learn to handle this shit

Finally got like 45 minutes to swing by the gym. Got released yesterday from the hospital with the new addition to our family after a long 5 days in the hospital and no training. Love strongman stuff but just hate how long it takes to set stuff up for it when in a hurry.

 

@Travish325 ill be curious to see if they change it after your comment it’s wild that this town is majority military folk and nobody has caught it or mentioned it to them.

 

Probably cause the owner isn't a military person lol plus modern military guys don't notice that stuff. It's the old farts like me that spot it lol

 

I share your pain. You should see what my feet look like. I really wish skin would just toughen the eff up and do it's job.
