After looking my numbers over I have noticed that I am just stuck in a never ending cycle of injuries. I cant keep up the way things have been going so I will not be putting up any "big numbers" for a long while. I wont compete for a while either. I just pushed myself too hard for too long. No particular plan other than to take it EASY.

In the end I just hope to get to a point where I can walk up stairs without my knees cracking. It would also be nice to wake up without my shoulder throbbing every morning. Simple things like that, haha.

I don't know that I would classify a 225x10 OHP as "taking it easy." Good stuff.

Haha! 225 isnt bad, the 275 was a bit excessive though. I think I will stay under 250lbs on OHP and just work on reps.

This is why i've taken 6 months off from the gym in the last year or two.

After a good 3 month complete break i feel pretty good again.

I am sorry my friend but as I am no longer lifting 4 size, I thought it to be inappropriate. "Stubborn" explains much about my training "style."

Just time for a change is all.

I like your new name, but it doesn't seem consistent with your most recent training philosophy.

Stubborn · « **Reply #261 on:** May 15, 2009, 12:26:08 AM »

Just read back over my log a bit. God damn I have taken on a lot of injuries in the past year. About 8 injuries that kept me from working at least half my body for weeks at a time. WTF? You people need to tell me these things because I will just push through them otherwise, haha!

Either way, things are feeling good. No comps planned thus far so no pressure to go heavy.

You are too damn stubborn to listen to us anyway.

I can relate, I am stubborn too!

Maybe we did and you just have an eye injury that kept you from noticing. You shouldn't work through that sort of thing, it's bad for you.

Sunday - Strongman

Couple of pick and holds with 235lb Farmers.

2 sets 8 flips w/ 700lb tire.

Few reps with 270lb stone. Set a few feet back so we had to walk them in.

Superset full range abs, GHR, reverse hypers. 12 reps each/3 sets.

I will move the weights up slightly next week. Feeling good, dont wanna mess it up.

EDIT: I forgot I was doing front carries with the river stone. A few weeks ago it killed my cardio and I wanted to vomit. Now its not a problem at all. Did two 120' runs and caught my breath inside a minute or two. Everyone else was laid out, haha.

^This post was cold bro. If I dont work through my eye injury then I cannot visit getbig. What does one do with an extra five minutes without getbig?

Tuesday - Lower Body

Hypers
3x12xbw-70lbs

Front Squats
1x10x135
1x6x225
1x10x225
1x6x275
1x8x275 was going for 10 but I choked myself out a bit

Squats
1x8x275 thats all. Left knee was pinching bad.

BB Rows
1x10x135
1x10x225
2x10x275

Leg Exts
2x15x3/4 stack

Front squats are SO much easier on my knees and my endurance. Normal squats, no matter how light (275), feel very heavy for some reason. Maybe its just in my head because of my knee? Nonetheless, good workout!
