TRAINING LOG: Myles

Myles received the bama gear and the ast -thanks!

Have taken the entire week off and rested.  Feel pretty decent, back still hurting.  This is what I did while watching the Lions and Saints.  Cheryl does a nice chop and gravy. 

The boy had his bama t on last night during his pull work out -made a 225 x 3 deadlift the boy has some Bob Peoples
in em .

So what did you eat afterwards. The lifting is nice and all but I want to see pictures of food. Come on man.

I went in last night and did some lat and bicep and my junk stuff.

Rode the bike a while to get warmed up, very cold here in T town.  Did some hard stretching of the lower back and hammys, did a lot of static stretch here since I was not working them.  Then onto cuff work, did a lot of that also.  Was thinking of my ortho today and really love the guy, but don't want to see him soon. 

Did a few sets of lat pull downs trying to get warm.  My left arm is bothering me at the low bicep some, pull ups are making that hurt, so I need to be pretty warm first.  Using the arm sleeves.  Went up to the stack for a couple sets and then started pull ups, they felt better.  A couple sets of 5 reps and then a set of 4 with a couple partials. 

Concentration curls, 3 sets.  Then two sets of standing alternating real slow and strict so I did not have to use a lot of weight.  Did three sets of Palof press for abs on each side and then kicked out. 

Came home for a big plate of breaded shrimp Cheryl made with a baked potato.  Sorry no photo, I would have had to walk across the room for my phone and that is way too much effort last night. 

Exp with fish oil a lot now days.  From speaking and reading 6 grams is the point the real bennys start at, so I am taking some AST version that adds some amminos to this and then some regular 1400 mg hits.  I calculate I am at 7600 mg right now.  This of course does a lot of things they are showing these days from making your cells more sensitive to insulin to reducing inflammation.  One of the key places of the inflammation is in the blood vessels, when we get the inflammation there we get plaque build ups, so this is supposed to help in that area, an obvious one for me that needs to be addressed.  But I think a lot of us here need to be aware of this problem and take steps for a long future.  I am interested to see if this will help inflammation in other areas of the body.  It makes sense to me that it would, but all just testing my rat.  And my rat has had a tough last few years, you have to be real good to the rat as you only get one. 

OK Bull, this is just for you, Cheryl cooked me a Boston Butt yesterday, a whole one.  Just to make me sammiches.  I mean they were unreal.  The she baked up some beans with them, you know the kind that beans are just one of the ingrediants.  Bacon in there of course, make your mouth go crazy.  I will get a photo of this thing of beauty. 

On the health note, I added in a new higher potency niacin to my routine.  This is considered a natural statin.  So trying to get my numbers better with the fat in my blood.  Doing 1500 mg a day right now, 500 at lunch and a thousand at bed.  Might try and up that some if this stays feeling good.  Going to extreme with the niacin and the Omega 3's. 

Here you go Mike, yesterday was a double header

Squat night, went in and warmed up, 135 x 5, 135 x 5, 225 x 4, 315 x 3, 405 x 1 and went home.  I felt real strong, but when I started getting up in weight the back felt real unstable and hurt.  I just could not hold tight enough to control the pain.  I was so frustrated I packed it up and came home.  

Good luck Myles, hope it does well.

strong

Great pic.

Went in for some leg and lower back, warm up w some bike.  Have completed the pred and put the voltaren back in.  Back felt ok.   In order to keep the poundage down and try and work my legs I am going to pause squat all the reps, get in the hole deep and then stop for a couple of seconds and then come on up.  135 x 5, 135 x 5, 225 x 3, then did 7 sets of 275 for 3.  When I did the first set it felt terrible, my back hurt and it was just not good.  Went and sat down and thought about it for a while.  First I thought about just stopping.  Then sat there more and thought, well I did that one set and made it through, pain or not.  Why not just do one more.  So I did another set and it felt much better.  I think a lot of masters training is just doing another set.  If I can do this one, why can't I do one more?  If I just keep saying that for a few sets, hey we got someplace. 

Then went to 20 reps of dead to just below the knee and up.  2 sets of 20 and I was destroyed at that point.  So I went over and did 2 sets of 20 on the leg extension and I could not move. 

Came home and laid on some ice on the lower back.  Froze it up good and then had a NY Strip Cheryl did on the grill, w some macaroni and brocoli.  Sweet tea. 

After the gym before the steak I had some protein and BCAA's

So to help all my omega 3's down tonight and I am taking a lot of them for my rig, I had 3 chocolate frosted donuts.  2 was enough, but the third one winked and the rest is history.  Went all out with some 2%.  After you drink skim for some years it seems heavy and sweet.  Then put a bunch of Hersheys in there to complete the evening of calories. 

Then we get pictures of food again.  You are happy, we are happy.

Love that picture...  Sounds good Myles- very strong!!  Heal that back up brother..

What city am I in?  Tuscaloosa.  THE home of the crimson tide.  I am an hour from Birmingham here and would drive for health.
