The year of the Comeback!

Training log, fuck my tricep! Squats tonight, was supposed to close grip, or floor press, hahaha nope! Best way to describe my tricep is it feels like there is a razor blade inside my tricep and every time I do any pressing movement it feels like the razor blade is just mauling the large inner head of tricep from origin to insertion…

Will post log later.

Wife did 4 singles at 105 w doubled up orange bands and commands tonight on bench, I had to yell at her for descending too fucking slow…

 

[Poppy]

You don’t reckon you tore your tricep?

 

[Bigmurph6]

Damn another hurt ouch it sounds horrible I hope that it’s not what @Poppy said

Congrats for the wife

 

[Dirtnasty]

I think your body is telling you something

 

[Poppy]

I just found this the other day a week or so after I ripped my bicep off my elbow. It ended up bruising all the way down to my wrist

 

[Bigmurph6]

Fuck that’s kinda what mine looked like when I ruptured my bicep

 

[Poppy]

Yeah I’m hoping @JB_rD81 doesnt have anything severe

 

[JLee]

Damn. That looks like it hurts pretty bad

 

[JB_rD81]

@Poppy, we’re about a week out now from the injury and still no bruising. I will say this though, I have noticed when I flex the injured tricep or even do push downs or kick backs, my tricep feels more like a pile of mashed potatoes rather than a flexed muscle…

Last nights log
Squats, used SS Yoke Bar, worked up to 2x3 @ 225. Nothing world beating, and honestly it felt a little heavy, but all I’m looking for out of squats is carry over to deadlift strength.

Attempted floor press, was able to press the bar pain free, added weight and did 3 reps with 135, and got the described pain above. I was able to do 3 sets of pushups with red and orange bands around my back, which is oddly pain free like pushd

T Bar row, 5x10, I picked 90 lbs and stuck with it. By this point in the workout I didn’t care, I was more excited for my wife and how good her bench workout was, except having to tell her she was moving slower than old people fuck.

Lats and delts 3x10 each, I did neutral grip pull downs and dumbbell OHP’s. Oddly enough, OHP’s hurt too, so I kept the weight moderately light, 35 lbs, and pull downs went with 190 for all 3 sets.

I’m really disappointed in my body’s willingness to quit, I’m almost to the point where I’m just going to start wrapping my arm with knee wraps, so damn tight I can’t feel it and truck on… tonight after I drive home 140 miles I’ll deadlift, but it’s a deload, and I’ll look at the bench and tell it to go fuck itself… I don’t do good with downtime or injuries, I get bored and then destructive, and sometimes self destructive, so we’ll see

Time for a CT or MRI smh sucks brother no bruising is definitely a good sign but something can still be a miss.

Attempted floor press, was able to press the bar pain free,

That’s a positive

This isn’t a bad idea brother if it works you should definitely use it as long as it doesn’t make things worse

Training without direction sucks my sweaty ass! Went to the gym today, wife’s last deload before the meet in 2 weeks, next week she’s got to hit a 2 doubles with her opener, and one single with her second attempt, then next Saturday she’s gotta hit her opener a few times with commands. So while I was there coaching her, I decided to do a little shoulders, biceps and triceps… my left tricep is feeling better, yesterday I could start to feel it hardening up when I flex again, which is nice. Started the party off with meadows 6 ways, band pull aparts and band pushdowns, all three for 100 reps total superset. Next I did side lateral raises superset with alt dumbbell curls, then face pulls and rope pushdowns, and finished with one arm DB OHP’s, holding the dumbbell I wasn’t pressing at about the half way mark of the press, superset with preacher curls and cable kick backs. Kind of a boring fucking workout

In good news I went ahead and signed up for meet I noticed they drug tested next to other meets so figure if it downs say it I must be good. Also worst case I pop and don’t get to own state records. Which I looked At and I entered the 308 devision cause fuck cutting and I think I wil break the bench and maybe dead record for state in the bench was 439. I assume people here that lift heavy don’t do meets lie they do back home

 

[JB_rD81]

If it doesn’t say tested next to it it’s not. USPA has a tested division, but it is not popular at all. The only real popular tested fed’s are USAPL and NASA

You’ll kill it man!

Forgot to update my captains logs from star date Sunday! I deadlifted, was going to work up to a double between 485 and 500, and shoot for a single
Somewhere in the 540-565 range, boyyyyy did I come up short. Pulled fives @ 275 and 315, pulled trips at 405, and 475, 475 felt odd, not sure how
To describe it, it just didn’t feel right, nothing about it did. So I dropped back down to 405 and hit 3 sets of 5 to finish. Kind of disappointed, I really wanted to test myself. Of course as soon as I pulled 475, the first thing my wife said was “that hip won’t last 10 years you keep doing this shit”. My accessory work consisted of pull downs and and a little sled work.
Tomorrow night my wife has to hit her opener for 3 sets of 2 with commands, so I’ll probably tempt fate and try some floor presses, see how my tricep feels.

 

[Poppy]

Be careful with that tricep brother

 

[JB_rD81]

It’s actually feeling better, saturday I was able to overhead press fairly pain free. I just hate going to train with nothing set in stone. Freedom in the gym offers too many choices

 

[Poppy]

Freedom in the gym offers too many choices

Blahahaha yes… I usually pick sitting around or irritating those trying to do something.

Training log, from this damn night. No week, no day, pointless training is just blah. I went mostly to help my wife with her second to last heavy bench workout, she hit 3x2 with commands with her opener, 140. I was pretty impressed with how it went, so to see her succeed is good. My workout, was just that. I warmed up triceps and rear delts/scapular retraction with red band pushdowns and banded pull aparts. Tricep is feeling decent, so I decided to bench, flat backed and with legs straight out, did 95x5 x 2, 135x5x2, 155x5x5 and 155 AMRAP 10 all paused, all pain free. Floor presses I started with 135, felt great, I was able to fully lock at the top with my left Tri pain free and really no pain in the bottom. Did 155x8, same as 135, and did 175x8. 175 brought a little pain upon loading my triceps, I should have stopped as soon as the pain hit, but I’m a terrible judge of self regulation. After this I did very light single arm incline DB press, 55 lbs x 10x 3, hammer curls 40x12x3 and side raises 30x15x3.

All I know is, training like this is going to drive me insane. My tricep better fix itself fast, or I’m just going to say fuck it and push it till it gives

 

[Poppy]

push it till it gives

Oh lord. Please don’t do that. I know you’re frustrated at the moment and know better. Use your knowledge brother.

 

[JB_rD81]

I won’t, I’m just being dramatic. I hate injuries and ailments
