I trained back and chest today. Five sets of 10 reps X two exercises. Light weights too. I have never been strong on bench but since I have the vertical bench press machine, I did them without fear of getting stuck. I also do the pec-deck. Back was straight arm pulldowns as I am trying to simulate the excellent Nautilus Pullover machine and then after those 5 sets, I did 5 sets of 10 reps on lat pulldowns.
I have been thinking of getting a fApple iPhone as my children want me to get a fApple Watch because I tend to fall. Frequently. I am now on my 9th cell phone in far less than two years due to falling. So this watch with the iPhone will call a family member or even 911 if I do not get up. Having literally knocked myself cold a few times, I suppose I should get this phone and watch.
It would be able to do some of the things you guys mention such as heart-rate and maybe pulse. I tried to go to the fApple store today but it was a madhouse of weirdos and I didn't want to wait in line for at least an hour so I left. Do any of you have one of these iPhone/Watch combinations or poerhaps a simialar android setlup?
I'm giving in and getting the polio crutches next week. Dammit. All my life I've NEVER had alcohol or drugs because I wanted to be healthy. Then I fall off a roof and a couple of years later, one of my co-workers was trying to move a rack of equipment weighing 500+ pounds and it overcame him and began crushing him so I got under it somehow and when it fell I took the weight and the hit. I messed up my shoulders but he is alive and that is what matters. He is a good man with a wife and two wonderful children. I can only do DB laterals with 10 or so pounds. I've worked hard to get up there but when I get to a heavier weight it just seems to mess me up. Yes.
I need the advices of good men such as you gentlemen and I am serious. I'm not really complaining, more whining really. I just want a path back, if you will. If not, I will just continue to read this and IroNat's thread and as I just did, watch the old film Athena with Steve Reeves and Dick Dubois for inspiration.
