And...Here...We...Go

[David Lees]

Some inspiration for pumping iron this evening...

Chest
234 Lbs

Incline 10x185 8x205,6x225+1 Forced
Flat Bench 12x135, 12x135 12x135
DB Flyes 12x30, 12x40, 10x50

Interesting session today. I was suprized today that I was able to move as much weight as I did on inclines today. After my elbows being hurt in Feb and my Back injury last month and been sick for the last week and not eating very much food due to lack of appetite, I was very suprized. I didn't do anything crazy either. Still getting over this cold shit.

And I want to get back into benching again. Not to see how much I can press (Fuck that- I'm no PLer), but I know that flat is a valuable exercise. I used light weight today and was still able to get a great pump. And I haven't Benched since 2008 (when I hurt my shoulder benching 250). It was kind of awkward and strange but what can you expect after not doing an exercise in years? I don't plan on using flat as a first exercise.

Still got the running clogged nose and a little cough but I had to get back into the shit.

Good inclines man, props to getting in there even though you're still a bit sick.

Sorry you have been sick, I always find when sick it hurts/sags energy from they gym too.
Congrats on doing Bench. I am impressed that you obviously have gotten good results despite no flat bench for 3 years!


What's happening now?
Chicken soup+Ginger ale?

Sorry you are sick.

When I get a spring cold, it is usually allergy related. When I notice I have the beginnings of one, I wash my sinuses with a saline solution of warm water (you can buy special bottles for this and use regular table salt), it helps clear that out, and helps me prevent the head cold / allergies from spreading to my chest. When doing this, it is important to avoid forcing water into your ear canals. If you feel the water going into your ears, let up on the pressure or stop altogether.

It works nice and is real easy and takes only a minute to do.

I usually make the solution heavily salted to the taste, but not so salty it hurts.

I read a NYT article recently, that if you think you are getting a cold, to gargle with salt water, and that will help fight the germs.

Easy stuff, with good results.

Hope you feel better soon.

Did you train yesterday?

[MACDAT]

Feel better dude. Allergies are said to be the worst this season.

Hey fellas. Still sick. Thanks for a the concern. Wood, Next year I'll do that. I am on the ass end of this thing. My son has he toncells out last Friday. ANd the older you are the harder it is to recover from that, I'm told. He is 18 now. He has to have around the clock Morphine, Diloded (sp), and Hydro. He can't give it to him self cuz he has been in a haze since then so either Lori or I have to be up all night with him so it is hard to kick this cold when I am not getting any sleep. But I am not going to complain because what David is going through is much suckier. And yeah I said Suckier. On Tues AM like 2 AM, David started to vomit and he opened his wounds so we had to take him to the ER. They fixed him and but it put him back to Day 1 as far as healing goes.

Thanks blue, I have still done DB flat. Just not with a bar obviously, for years.

Thanks Z. Let see if I can avoid hurting my self again, eh.

SVT. I didn't train yesterday or today. Maybe tomorrow I can get back on schedule. But that is

[David Lees]

Dude, I hope you all feel better soon and wish David a speedy recovery. Careful with that Morphine...

[ZyklonB]

get well browski...that sounds like some serious stuff your fighting along with your kid. good luck

[BBOY87]

Get well soon and Happy Friday!!!

[BrotherIron]

Right now just focus on getting well and you're kid. You don't want to hurt yourself in the gym b/c you're not 100%.

[David Lees]

Get well soon and Happy Friday!!!

Some Grade A Beef right thurr...yum yum!
