Thanks Lorrie. I am starting to feel normal. That will teach me to take time off from the gym for business.
I haven't been hungry at all for the last 4 days and today I have a major appetite.
Geez, I am on a fuckin' roll here. Picked the wrong time to buy 50 shares of Apple stock. Down almost 11%
Well I was 3 steps back, now it's like 4.
Record profits, record sales of iPhones and iPads and they miss Wallstreet's earning forecast and now this shit. It seems I can't win this week. Hopefully they [Apple] have something up their sleeve.

Clever.... More people should try training by their instinct!
I've never in my life done one armed pulldowns... they're now written into my morning back workout for tomorrow. I'm genuinely excited to try out a new movement... Cheers, Mac!

Instinctive laziness, eh! One arm PDs are great for stretching the lats, and you have to do them so you're not using your arms. I had a massive pump after doing tonight's workout.
Stop back to visit more often Big Spear and find more genuine excitement!

I don't use really heavy weight for the higher reps. So I make up for it with volume.

The shoulder has been ongoing for several months and NOTHING has helped. So instead of working around it, I decided fuck it and been training them harder. That hasn't helped either.
My biggest problem is sleeping and that's when it hurts the worst, after waking up.

That would be my next step. Now here is something odd, I have No pain this morning in my shoulder. First time in months waking up with no pain. WTF is up with that? Doesn't matter if I trained the day before or not.

It's the cost of the MRI that is not covered by my insurance plan. It's about $2800. Most of my pains end up going away on their own. This one is not, yet!
I just need to pay more for better insurance.

Most of my delt problems center around how I sleep, which is mostly on my stomach with my arms above my head. I have been trying to sleep more on my left side and cannot sleep on my back. Pulling the sheets over with my right arm is a no-no and it really sets off the shoulder. Need a separate blanket really since someone hogs it all the time.

Sucked that it took a day and a half to finally get my luggage. It's freaking hot hot hot here and thank God for the ocean's cool breeze. And air conditioning.
No iron, no gym here off the beaten path. They don't even have signs that mark the road or use addresses. Our address here is 300m west of Super Wendys and 100m north. WTF is that. I don't want to tell you how many times I was lost as the rental car's cigarette lighter doesn't work, so no GPS either.

In Costa Rica the cattle walk the streets, the locals will tell you stories of running into them like we run into deer. The picture of the horses on the beach almost looks like a photoshopped picture the way they were standing.
San Jose CR, is NOT a place I want to visit, however. CR is like the US was back in the 60s, with the addition of internet and cell phones. Lots of dirt roads, absolutely no street signs of any kind, even on the major roads.
Supermarkets are everywhere, as are restaurants, which sometimes will charge you the gringo tax. I was ripped off buying two cups of coffee, gave them the equivalent of $20 in their currency which is 10,000 colones. I didn't get any change and of course my spanish sucks as did her understanding, or ignorance of English. What was I to do?
The locals will hide in the trees on the beaches waiting for someone to place their valuables and walk to the water, only to come back to nada. We didn't experience this, but I didn't give it an opportunity to happen.
Ticos, overall are very nice, happy, religious and accommodating people. Their society is formatted by their culture.

I have started a diet and stopped force feeding myself. Didn't like what I saw in the mirror and want to resemble a bodybuilder with my shirt off. So i dropped about 500 cals a day and added a little cardio to start going the other way.
Shoulder is doing better but I am reminded of it doing certain movements, like reaching over and pulling the bed sheets back with my right arm will set it off.

One legged hyperextensions....hmmm..I'm gonna have to try that. You probably really get a pump going in your low back, and get to focus one side at a time. I've got a bad low back, always looking for ways to get it stronger. Nice workouts, I'm glad I browsed your thread Mac!

I started doing these because of an imbalance I had in my right side from injury last year. Strength has come up considerably and it's a better alternative to placing a heavy plate to increase resistance.
If you rotate your foot, it will change allow you to hit the inner adductors vs. the hams. Great for lower back and glutes.

Looks like your shoulder issues have pretty much cleared up, Mac. That's a tough delt routine!
It's still not 100% and there are certain movements I can still feel the injury. I cannot do dumbbell inclines but have no issues doing barbell inclines.
Reaching backwards and pulling the bed sheets back over causes me the most grief. I might be overlooking the real problem here, the person stealing my covers.

Summer is a busy time.
Still working on getting lean. Down to 161 according to my scale at home.
Shoulder has improved and now a first ever tricep injury. Trying to use too much weight without warming up. It's fine with lighter weights and feel like a hot poker sticking in me at the elbow.
So I used considerably less weights, more reps and concentrated on the squeeze. Man they are f'n sore as hell. They NEVER get sore, until now.

Thanks Paul. The only way to fix is injury is to continue training it, albeit the right way. I think the foam roller was very helpful and continuing to train thru the pain, it eventually disappeared.
It's been a long time since I could overhead press 215 in the smith machine for 6 reps and one of my favorites, dips! That's doing dips with an actual ROM where my hands are touching my shoulders at the bottom of the rep going real deep. I can surely feel that this morning.

Yes, I believe it's true. It certainly didn't go away on its own. I babied it for too long and then said 'f' it and endured the pain of training it, to get some blood in there and it worked!
Now, it will probably be something else to go wrong, but at least that's out of the way.
Last night, I was able to press my bodyweight of 160lbs. for 10 reps, so that ain't too bad for an old geezer!

Awesome Steve! I've always been in favor of being pro active when it comes to injurys.
Blasted chest and shoulders today. Felt great to not have a nagging shoulder injury keeping me back. Must keep things under control and not injure it again.
Workouts are going well, and I continue to slowly lean out. I am starting to feel hungry all the time.

Shoulder problems suck. Glad your pain is gone. Mine is back courtesy of a friend who tried to "take me into custody". Sadly her technique wasn't as practiced as mine.. Two months later.. It DOES take time when we are further down the road.

I would think it would take two people to take you into custody.
Travelled down that road and still haven't found my way home.

Yah at least two. Since I had the same training. Go home again? I wish bro. I don't think its going to happen though. Would be nice.

Thanks. Gotta be armed these days while out in public!
Now that my shoulder is healed I can return to doing real squats with a barbell. I did just that two days ago and did 7 sets of 12 reps - ass to the ground and holy fuck, did it feel good. Endorphins just whizzing through my body, from simple ass squats. I didn't use a lot of weight because I had reason to walk today, as I had to cook on the BBQ.
Now to slowly add the weight back while keeping to deep full ROM and not get carried away and injure something, again. That's the plan anyway.
My legs are sore but I am ready for more endorphins.

Sounds great Mac! I'm going back to high bar squats, it's hard to go past parallel with low bar.
Last night, to my amazement, the stolen bodyweight scale has reappeared in the gym. It's hard to believe a scale that was stolen would find it's way back home.
Had a great chest workout, now that I can actually bench press without pain. Not doing much in the way of logging my workouts lately as I've been busy working and when I am on here it's been to whack hundreds of spam messages. That finally was fixed.
Tonight will be legs, squats for 10x10 as I move up the weight another 10lbs on each side. I could do much more, but I am concentrating more on form, feeling the muscles and going below parallel.

LOL too funny. There has been virtually no spam since it's been fixed.
Here is a real pisser. Went to the 24x7 gym and it was closed. Don't know if it is closed for good but this is the first time it's not been open in 4 years. Fuck me if I have to go find another gym as there aren't that many around. There is a PowerHouse gym about 15 miles away that I may have to join. My current gym is only 2 miles away and it's perfect.
What a bunch of fuck-wads that run this Red 24x7 Fitness gym. They're having some disputes over who is responsible to fix some leaks in the roof. Their lease states the occupant is responsible, so the gym owner doesn't fix roof, and the landlord locks the doors stating safety and insurance issues.
Time to break out the home gym consisting of 5 sets of dumbbells until it is resolved or I find a new gym. Makes it difficult to train.

Sometimes I just dunno what you are thinking -wish you'd just speak your mind dammit!! :dunno: LOL
I get ya - sooooo frustrating when BS going on with training facility! Gym I used to belong to got flooded out (live by a lake)...... shut down for 2mos....back up and running and then turned around and owner was not paying bills...... showed up to train one day and all doors padlocked!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!! Many of us had our gear in lockers, dues paid for several months, etc..etc.... "fuck-wads" is putting it nicely!! Best of luck!!!!

LOL - I get in trouble speaking my mind! I will hold back now though.
I don't expect resolution anytime soon and I will be checking out the PowerHouse gym 12 miles away for a temporary membership. This owner takes 3 weeks to fix a broken cable on a machine. He offers a double extension for the time closed at the end of your contract, WTF good is that? Oh, I don't have one because if I did, it would be 2yrs for the prices of ONE vs. twice the price I paid. That was a real kicker.

I may be doing that soon as the gym has not opened up. The problem is, if it does, I will still be in a contract. Don't think you can just join this PH gym without a yearly membership.
Guess I have been spoiled with the gyms always being so close.
I have been coming up with new exercises to use my 20,25,35, 45 and 60lb DBs, which is all i have here at home. Getting great arm and shoulder work outs but legs and chest are suffering.
I found a great 24x7 fitness center about 9 miles away with excellent free weights and machines. It's a huge place with many other things besides weights. Their prices are not published so I have to go there and check it out tomorrow.

Sounds good Mac! The gym business is changing here in my town also. Planet Fatness has cut into the market with their cheap membership no contract rates. Anytime Fitness just closed its doors. Luckily my gym is under new management and with Anytime closing it should help them.

I went back to check on the status of the gym. Everything is gone!
Found out they were closed by the health department because of mold in the ventilation from the leaking roof.
The good news is they have a new location and it's bigger and better than the older one and not too much further away.
The bad news is we have all been breathing in 'black mold spores' for God knows how long.

Ain't that the truth. Never know what you're breathing these days.
The old gym that moved hasn't opened yet and assume it will be ASAP as I am sure they want to start billing people every month. They suspended all payments two weeks ago. Actually, I am wondering if that is true as there have been some shady practice by this company with some Bally's fitness centers they have taken over.
Getting antsy to use some real weight for chest, back and legs.
But I have been getting some great shoulder and arm workouts in.
The gym saga continues. Someone is not telling the truth. I went by the 'old gym' and there are bigs signs ' under new ownership ' and Opening soon 24x7 Fitness.
How could a new business go in where there was supposedly a mold problem?
Seems like they basically kicked the old tenant out and moved a new one in.
I just hope it opens soon.

Still plodding along without a gym. My workouts at home consist of high rep movements with dumbbells.
Try this at home - grab a dumbbell 1/3 of your bodyweight and see how many reps you can get doing a press. I am up to 50 reps at 50lbs. I used to do this years ago and remember getting 80 reps with this 50lb dumbbell. Got a ways to go to get back to that, but then again, that was 25 years ago. I am doing the same thing with one arm concentration curls where I got 18 reps with 50lbs.
