Strength Training Week 6

Posted by webmaster On June - 14 - 2006

This is Wed. and it is my first workout since 5-27-06. That makes it 17 days of poor diet, massive stress, tons of cortisol and just out and out depression since my last workout. That’s 17 days, folks!! I just managed to get the weights into my brothers apartment this past Sunday. Let’s see how it goes.

06/14/06 Wed 3:00 PM Training Session 2A (core strength)

I decided to do another 2A session tonight. I wanted to hit some heavy weights again. But First I did some grip work then I went into the 2A session. (Lungs were doing fine by the way. No wheezing to start with, and I confess my diet blowed chunks today. All I did was drink milk and eat brown rice. I was out of protein and food.)

Neck Work – 25 lbs x 20, 20, 20
Forearm Wrist Curls – 65 lbs x 12, 75 lbs x 12, 85 lbs x 4, 4,
Behind Back Wrist Rolls – 85 lbs x 6, 8
Stiff Leg Deads – 85 lbs x 10, 135 lbs x 5, 185 lbs x 3, 4
Good Mornings – 85 lbs x 6, 8, 8

That is all for today. My brothers apartment is stale and dirty. I need to see if the air quality is going to hold me back. So, I take it easy today. I felt strong, not even winded. I was congested, but I have been eating pasta the last 2-3 days so I sort of expected it. I got a nice pump, too. Diet:

2 Creatine/Glutamine
Spaghetti
Protein
5 Glasses Water So Far Today

06/15/06 Thur 10:00 AM Training Session 2B (assistance strength)

(Lungs are doing fine today. No wheezing to start with. Just a bit of congestion left over from 5 AM) I work on a shoulder injury today. My right shoulder was injured, thanks to Pete Sisco and his rediculous static hold training, almost 10 weeks ago. I injured it using his technique. Is it a muscle tear? A popped bursar sack? I have no idea. All I know is that every single time I have tried his methods, I have been injured. First, my back. Then my left bicep. Now, my shoulder, and it has actually gotten worse with rest. Just gooes to show you that only active rest rehabs an injury. Thanks Pete Sisco. You da’ man! ASSHOLE! By the way, low back, hams, forearms and nceck are nicely sore today. Anyway, as follows:

Light Military – 45 lbs x 20, 20, 20, 20
Light Hanging Cleans – 45 lbs x 10, 12, 12, 15
Light Reverse Military – 45 lbs x 10, 12 (awkward, but necessary)
Bench Press (nervous here) – 45 lbs x 15, 65 lbs x 10, 85 lbs x 10, 95 lbs x 10 (took it easy here; light and slow, for obvious reasons. The 95 lbs, so slow and controlled. I had to fight for the last rep due to the discomfort and pre-warm fatigues)

That is all for today. At least for this workout. I realize it seems wimpy, but frankly I feel wimpy. The stress of moving, the depression and now the injuries have conspired to make me take it easy these first two workouts back from a forced layoff. I felt stronger yesterday due to the fact that I was not directly training an injured area. Yet, I did not get winded, so that is a good thing. I got a nice pump. Diet:
