Rick Walker Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I am lucky to be alive. Twice now I have experienced the phenomenon known as "Sudden Cardiac Death" a condition that often goes undetected and kills many people every year. Twice now my implanted defibrillator has provided me with a life saving shock that has brought me back to the living. My condition is caused by something everyone experiences, a simple PVC, of premature ventricular contraction. Unfortunately I have a lot of them on a daily basis, so despite my daily medicine regimen it is still like the pull of a slot machine. You never know when the cherries are going to line up and cause it to happen again. With that being said, I cant just live on the couch. When it is my time it is my time and I wont go gently into that good night!! 11/13/14 0530 -Overhead machine press: 150 for 5 sets of 10, 140 for 5 sets of 10. superset with -Blast strap reverse flys: 10 sets of 10. Ended with 50 pounds on overhead machine press for 60, 40 and farmers shrugs with 180 for 50, 25, 25. It's a beautiful morning. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Walker Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hip belt squats: 100lbs x60secs x 4 times through. We set up our hip belt squats up by sticking the Olympic bar against the wall with 2-60 lb dbs on it. We then load the other end with 25s and attach right against the collar with the plates in front of you. Then we take a shoulder width stance and lean back and squat down until the plates nearly touch the ground. This blasts the quads. -Db leg ext: 35 x60 seconds x 3 sets. -Reverse glute ham x 3 sets of 60 seconds. -Db leg curls: 35 x 3 sets of 60 seconds. -1 legged leg curl: 25 x 3 sets of 60 seconds each leg. All reps done with 5 second lowering phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Walker Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 0620 Training partner didnt hear his cell phone alarm go off so he was 20 mins late.

There is a decent gym close to where I will be and training has been greatly helping my depression and PTSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm just gonna guess that Trooper doesn't get much sass talk when he pulls people over . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 No, and anyone who thinks they are going to sass him usually shuts up as soon as he gets out of his cruiser. He is known for being "hands on" when the situation calls for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
