Hi Wes !  🙋

When is your bodybuilding competition, I want to come and spectate ?

I am working on trying to get my squats up. I had plantar fasciitis and had to cut back a bit. My goal is to do 225 x 7 - 8 reps in the summer. I'm a leg pressing maniac for the time being.

I've been busy and couldn't find time for emails. My home gym expansion is back under construction. I will send you pics.

Shockwave treatment works.  While a bit pricey...its one of the few things I have found helps athletes return to activity.

Sounds great Jane !!

Unlike some idiot here after doing nothing for 5 full years other than to eat tons of junk I am giving myself a year and a half to get ready.

Right now I`m rebuilding and regaining muscle as well as power, and if all goes as planned no one will touch me by contest time as I will be ancient/ancienter.

Will be ramping up everything and adding in lots of cardio and tons of gear! 

[IroNat]

Plantar fascitis can be bad.

I've had it in both feet.

Arch supports in my shoes cured mine.

My weeks been all fucked up as far as training goes but I don`t want to get too big so it`s all good! 

[oldtimer1]

Trained back with a messed up knee. My knees are generally bullet proof until the last leg workout. I did legs then went to my retirement job where I stand a lot. It was a painful shift.

Today:
Wide pulldown
Seated lat cable rows with a V handle
Dumbbell rows with a knee on the bench
narrow pulldowns
deadlifts
weighted hyper extensions
wheel roll out
machine crunches.

Tried to use good form, range and cadence which can sacrifice weight used. One deads I felt myself get out position and ended the rep. Pissed off but with maturity I realize tomorrow is another day to fight and a injury could end lifting. Felt a lower back tweak during a rep and ended the set moving on.

[robcguns]

So went to the gym and killed arms last night and the shoulder has felt pretty good so far.

Alternate standing db curls 35x50,40x40,45x32,50x25,55x21,60x17,65x15,70x13,75x9,80x7,85x5,90x4,95x2,100x1,35x20,15,15.

Superset

Vbar Pushdowns

Stackx80,75,70,stack+25 x 50,50,45,stack+45x 35,35,35,30,30,25,25,15,15,12,12,10.

Stronger than usual so the last 5 weeks or so resting up and doing rehab has helped quite a bit.

Thank you sir. Arms are all I can train heavy since the shoulder, other than this it’s 5lb laterals,front raises and rears.

The delt tears really suck.
Mine got better to a point, but still very limiting. (125 pounds less on Bench because of pain, embarrassing)  LOL

Excellent stuff! (Minus the hip-thrusts of course)

I have a hip issue that most forms of deadlift seem to aggravate, so I do that instead for a “hip hinge” movement.

Would love to watch you hip thrust sometime.  Definite homo.

Glad to see you are back.

Keep pushing those weights.
