Nice work man! I miss deads...

**robert da strongman** · 02-22-2011, 04:03 PM

thanks....you will be able to do them soon

**BEAST MODE** · 02-22-2011, 04:07 PM

2 months from now they'll be back in the routine! Last week was the last time I'll be doing racks or deads at all. I've not even been squatting during prep. I've done front squats a few times, but w/ my legs being such a strong point, I figured why risk it w/ squats right now? But you can bet your ass I'll be squatting heavy again after April 2!

**robert da strongman** · 02-22-2011, 04:09 PM

maybe a workout during the europa...we could do legs

**BEAST MODE** · 02-22-2011, 04:19 PM

Shit yeah! Would have to be Saturday sometime or early Sunday morning, but I'm definitely down for that!

**robert da strongman** · 02-22-2011, 04:24 PM

sunday morning would kill...then drinking at epcot!

**BEAST MODE** · 02-22-2011, 04:25 PM

It's doable! Shall we plan on that?

**robert da strongman** · 02-22-2011, 04:41 PM

yup!

i like it when a plan comes together

**BEAST MODE** · 02-22-2011, 04:45 PM

And you know since we're going to have the opportunity to gorge ourselves on food all day, we are going to have to train that much harder! We will definitely need wheelchairs by the end of the day, and not just because of the alcohol.

**robert da strongman** · 02-22-2011, 05:05 PM

yeah we will be walking funny before epcot

**robert da strongman** · 02-25-2011, 11:03 AM

well my shoulder has had enough. been hurting for awhile now and it is unbearable. been stretching and icing daily just so i can lift my arm over my head. so i am taking the next few days to rest. might finish the last week of the program. if not i will think of something new...maybe something a little more bb'ing in nature. might go well with my stash of humapro and chain'd out

**BEAST MODE** · 02-25-2011, 11:36 AM

Is it joint pain or what?

**robert da strongman** · 02-25-2011, 11:44 AM

feels more like the muscle

**BEAST MODE** · 02-25-2011, 11:44 AM

Let's hope so...muscle pain is so much easier to treat!

**robert da strongman** · 02-25-2011, 11:47 AM

yeah the stretching seems to help

**robert da strongman** · 02-26-2011, 06:52 PM

just some thoughts...

**BEAST MODE** · 02-26-2011, 07:51 PM

Gotta keep it fresh bro! Considering the situation you're in, you've definitely managed to stay seemingly positive.

**robert da strongman** · 02-26-2011, 07:52 PM

yeah my body can use the break. oh i have my days but i keep them to myself

**robert da strongman** · 02-28-2011, 11:00 AM

going back to the gym. shoulder feeling ok...

**BEAST MODE** · 02-28-2011, 11:05 AM

Nice song choice! I'm gonna need some 'tallica here in a bit to pick me up...lack of sleeping is setting in.

**robert da strongman** · 02-28-2011, 11:06 AM

a good omen i suppose...was the song playing on the radio when i turned it on.

Nice training...my shoulders are still in pain from Saturday's push day.

**robert da strongman** · 02-28-2011, 03:18 PM

thanks...i think the pain will set in later.

**BEAST MODE** · 02-28-2011, 03:20 PM

I love sore delts...hardly ever happens, but I'm using a little heavier weights this and next week so it's gonna happen!

**robert da strongman** · 02-28-2011, 03:23 PM

i am hoping this volume will make mine grow.

**BEAST MODE** · 02-28-2011, 03:25 PM

It's the only thing mine have responded to so far. And I still think they're to small for my body.

**robert da strongman** · 02-28-2011, 03:27 PM

need to get you pressing some heavy shit over your head!

**BEAST MODE** · 02-28-2011, 03:31 PM

I miss pressing heavy shit over my head! Front delts came way up last bulk, so much so that I really haven't done hardly any pressing during prep. Priority has been side delts.
