Thanks, gentlemen!

I may have said this (I am getting old! ;D ) but years ago I saw a young woman in my PT and she had neither arms nor legs.   She was pure inspiration and joy.  I know she had to sometimes cry when alone but I got the idea she was a genuine Christian and by that reasoning she was never really alone.

I get teared up think about that young lady.    Enough rambling.  Thank you again.
My aunt,who was like another mother to me used to say"I cried because I had no shoes,then I saw a man with no feet" !

So many people say to me...."I`m so glad you won your battle with lung Cancer"....I tell them that I had no battle with Cancer.... just 5 days at 15 minutes a day of radiation....then I tell them that I met so many nice people at The Cancer Research Center who were way way worse than I could ever be.

The weird thing is that I talked to a lot of these people and even though most were terminal they seemed so upbeat,happy,and optimistic while I was so depressed and anxiety ridden that I felt like hanging myself in my barn.

I know for you assholes out there.....it was self inflicted.....I`m not looking for sympathy....never have,just sharing a story with people that I consider to be friends.

Personally,I keep my knees soft....aka slightly bent,go a little wider than shoulder width on the grip,and my back is straight at around a 45 degree angle....NEVER round the back.....then instead of just yanking the weight upwards,start off by moving/engaging the upper back muscles to initiate the pull upwards......don`t swing or heave the weight,though the biceps come into play concentrate on "feeling" the back do the work......it`s very hard for most guys to establish a good mind/muscle connection but this is imperative,especially when training back.

I go just below the knees to get a full stretch at the bottom.

Concentrate on form over poundage but go as heavy as you can while maintaining good form.....you can cheat the last few reps up it`s not a big deal.

Another good tip is that if you have a training partner,have him put his finger or a few fingertips on your upper back.....it helps to keep you focused on that area.

There are lots of variations......underhan d grip,wider or closer,EZ-Curl bar under or overhand etc. etc......experiment with them all at various times.

Thank you!

Yup!

If you walk like I do, it's more of a kinda "step...drag...step...dra g" LOL!  I've seen worse at the hospital and have got a sense of humor about my little problems.  Good days and not so good where I need the crutches but there a so many folk out there that would be happy to walk like "the mummy" so I take it and make it mine.   

I did back and chest yesterday.

Smith Machine rows 5 sets of 10 reps with 50lbs.  Then 3 sets of stiff arm pulldowns using a rope and 35lbs super-setted with the same weight on the Smith Machine Rows for 10 reps pulldown and 5 reps on the rows.

Smith machine bench press 5 sets of 5 with 50lbs. and then 3 supersets of DB flys and Smith Machine bench press.  I used 15lb DBs on the flys and got 15 reps and then went to Smith Machine bench press with 30lbs and got 3 to 5 reps .

I am a W U S S Y!   ;D

IroNat's workout thread and this one are my inspiration.  I am doing what my doctors said I was allowed to do.  Today I will see if I can do a one leg Smith Machine squat.   I am going to weigh the bar as I think it is only around 10lbs but I want to know for my ego's sake!  ;D

Well,I attempted to do some very light DB Benches Super-Setted with very light Double DB Rows.....extreme pain in my rib....guess I`ll have to bide my time....ribs heal very slowly.

Tomorrow I will attempt light arms.

This morning I had to give blood for an undisclosed (thus far) Thyroid reason.....it just has been a Hell of a 2 years for me,but I`ll never quit.

The thing that pisses me off as my new kunty attitude GP just took 3 vials of blood on the 21st.....how much do they need for Gods sake ???

Slow is awful but it is sometimes necessary.  Galapagos tortoises are HUGE and SLOW and they live a very long time.   You will make it brother.  ;D

Congratulations brother....all that hard work pays off in the end.  :)

I like testing myself to see how I perform in events.  The instructor had me lead the group PT and multiple times I was told to slow down because others could not keep up.  Its a measure as to whether what I am doing is working, not working, what needs to be improved etc.
