Gym Selfies **and Daily Motivation

[KVB]

Pretty wise words here.

Me hitting all 630 reps will be more impressive when there is more weight added. I'm right at that line of bumping up weight again.

Bumping weight, twice in one week for the back and shoulders circuit. +5 pounds yesterday, back again this morning adding 5 more pounds to that.

Going back for the chest and tri's circuit later, a double day. Added weight Tuesday for chest and tri's, not adding again today.

I was a little light on some of the back and shoulder work, to prevent injury. Now I'm stronger and ready for more weight.

Taking BCAA's and electrolytes for recovery. I need help in that area.

Eating like a fukking gotdamn machine.

Never forget...

Never force it remember it is not what you can do it is what you can recover from.

I learned a hard lesson this week as it took 3 days to recover from an hour on the elliptical last Monday.

I be like...

I swear down here in South Florida 1/3rd the guys are gay af lingering at the gym. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but why you gotta fuckin’ look at me ? I bet in Cali it’s definitely worse

Don't worry just stay away from the hot tub, sauna, pool, showers, bathroom, locker room, water fountain, machines, weights, benches, chairs, door handles, front desk, and the air if it has air conditioning.

Fukk man.

Friday night everyone had the dumbells and I tried to do curls with the kettle bells, I held them wrong.

Fukked up my forearm tendon, like tennis elbow, but not over time. It was over like 6 reps, I did a couple reps to see if the "kink" would work itself out.

No swelling, no discoloration, but hurts like hell right at the elbow where the tendon attaches, just resting and worse with movement or making a fist.

Icing constantly.

Fukkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm on a schedule, and I'm not sure how much this will fukk it up.

Good thing I was taking the weekend off anyway and could make monday a leg workout or something.

But still, Fawk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KVB. a week of every other day wrist extension isometrics 45 secs for 3 sets... followed by eccentric only wrist extension movement2 sets for 12 reps.. and some ulnar nerve flosses multiple times a day. get ahead of lateral epicondylitis before it becomes a tendinosis...

reduce all grip lifting movements for next week.

Yes, I can't push forward with a lingering injury. I' have to recover fully.

Will heed some advice there and therapy my way back, even if it's just a small injury now. Not going to jump into anything.

This I can do.

Appreciate it Archie, I really do.

The gym will be there for you when you’re good and ready to come back. You know your body better than anyone else would, smart decision to take off a while.

Hopefully it's a contract for a year and then after that it should be easier to get out, just depends.

I've heard about difficulties in cancelling from some gyms, sometimes it's under contract, and that's a bitch, but also after the contract.

It's stopping the ACH from your checking account I think its where it gets shady sometimes as the charge keeps coming after you cancel.

Injury occured Friday.

Took Sat, Sun and Mon off completely from gym.

Got in there today and did elliptical with minimal right arm action and a full leg workout (on machines).

Then I did extension iso and eccentric only wrist extension, where you lower the weight, let go, raise the hand, then put the weight back in, repeat. I did both with a 3 pound weight with no problem.

I will floss after I type this.

I am much better and much more optimistic that this is a minor injury.

I will take the entire week off of any grip lifting excercises and just face the fact that it's necessary and that I shouldn't come right back next week full board, but be cautious and aware of what I feel.

Again, thanks Arch. We're both they type to clown coming to the Forum for health advice, but truthfully I didn't ask, I just bitched and moaned and freaked out.

Then you offered advice.

Can't thank you enough for what is likely a little thing to you.

Legggoooo!!!!!!
