07/26/06 Wednesday 3:30 PM Workout (chest)
Today was my first workout after a week-long break. I needed some time to allow some of these nagging injuries to heal. My left bicep felt tons better. My right shoulder and elbow felt better, but that damn shoulder is just taking a long time. Its been 4 months since I injured it. I began with shoulder rehab with a 5 lb plate and some light bicep curls with the Huskies. No more than 22 lbs. Got a nice pump too.
- Dips – BW x 2,2,3,5,8, 8, 8, 8 (It has been over a year since I did them and my right shoulder made it challenging. I pushed through. I did full range with no more than 1 minute between sets)
- Partial Bench – 135 lbs x 10-12 x 5 (again, right shoulder felt odd. I will do partials until I can do full range without any pain)
Muscles were flat. No pump, or not much. Motivation for shit. Tired. Exhausted. That is enough. But I have to do better. This was a pussy effort. I suppose being diagnosed with probable diabetes has me feeling down. That, couple with my damn injury is just a lot to carry.
07/27/06 Thursday 1:00 PM Workout (biceps/triceps)
Chest was sore from yesterday, so were shoulders. However, my injury is getting better….plain and simple. I decided to do arms today. Just arms. The first time in years. Truth is, as much as I use to love training arms I had grown bored of the same old exercises. My muscles hated them. So, I sort of dreaded the whole thing. I decided to force some new exercises. It was going to be a challenge, but I settled on using a heavy version of my light rehab work with a combination of husky handles and supersets. It was a grand choice. Here is what I did.
- Reverse Husky Curls – 32lbs x 10-12 x 3 supersetted with:
- Regular Husky Curls – 62 lbs x 10-12 x 3 (again, right shoulder felt odd. I will do partials until I can do full range without any pain)
- Lying Dumbbell Tricep Extensions – 35lbs x 15 x 2 supersetted with:
- Pullovers 35 lbs x 15 x 2 (again, right shoulder felt odd. I will do partials until I can do full range without any pain)
- Seated Dumbbell Tricep Extensions – 35lbs x 8 x 2 supersetted with:
- Pullovers 35 lbs x 8 x 2 (again, right shoulder felt odd. I will do partials until I can do full range without any pain)
Biceps: The third set I failed to curl 62 lbs 10 times. I only managed 4 reps. It totally exhausted me. I got a huge pump. Triceps: Huge pump, no elbow pain. YES!
