Anthony C. Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Injuries suck, try some massage man. I have this address for a guy who gives sportmassages. He actually massaged some pains away which I thought were inflammated tendons or whatever. Just cramped up muscles in the shoulder. Keep it up! Thanks for the advice, man. I have been thinking about going for a massage, just have been a little hesistant because theyre so expensive, and then you have to tip them on top of it lol. I hear you. This guy I visit once every few months is 60 years old but has hands like vices. When he starts to attack my back it's all blue from the hematomas a day later haha I had this very irritating shoulderpain on top of my shoulderbone, which he just massaged away. I had instant relief. You just need to be lucky enough to find someone who isn't into petting but really works the muscles. On top of that, he only charges around 20 dollars (€ 15,-) for half an hour so that's a good deal! Hope you find someone, maybe some people on the GB here now someone that lives in your area? It's worth the money. That price is incredible! Here in the states the last time I got a deep tissue massage it cost me 100 usd not including tip They really do rip you off. It was by some asian lady but she did have incredibly strong hands. Today Deadlifts 4x305, 8x275 Did some hyperextensions and light squats after that. I slept the wrong way and my neck was stiff and I just wasn't having it. The past few weeks I've struggle to really "click" with these workouts. Hoping next week brings better days.

MattM Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Is the neck still bothering you? Also a very random question: I thought I read you were bodybuilding originally? Any shows under your belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony C. Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Is the neck still bothering you? Also a very random question: I thought I read you were bodybuilding originally? Any shows under your belt? Hey Matt, nice to meet you man. The neck has gotten a lot better but still a little stiff. It happens to me from time to time if I have a bad nightmare I'll toss and turn and wake up stiff like a pretzel and then it takes days to loosen. I haven't done any shows although I do train and diet like a bodybuilder. My lowest bodyfat was around 7%. In about a week or two I'll get up some pics after my little mini cut cycle is over but Im nothing compared to those dudes that step onstage!

Anthony C. Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Shoulder was bothering me today and I didn't feel like pushing the envelope, so instead I did legs and triceps: Squats 9x295, 14x255 Stack Leg Press 10x350, 10x350, 10x350 Glute Ham Raises 5, 5, 2 Flat Bench Dumbbell extensions 10x35, 8x35, 6x35 Cable Pushdown 15x70, 10x80 Seated Overhead Dumbbell extension 10x60 12x65 Weighed 169.8 this morning, so down a total of 5.5 pounds for the recomp so far. It has basically been a pound a week. My highest squat before I started was 8x305, so haven't really tapered much strength off. One more week and then I'm looking forward to putting the car in drive again, after a week off of course Edited April 11, 2014 by Anthony C.

Anthony C. Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Grip today Ironmind Hub Right: 1x41.25, 1x42.50, 4x38.75 All 3 PR's! Left: 1x37.5, 1x37.5, 7x32.5 All 3 PR's also GrippersRight: 3xcoc2 CCS, 7x2 30mm set, 9x2 MMS Left: 3xGHP 4 CCS, 6xGHP4 30mm set Sledgehammer Levers Front and Rear 3 sets with 8lb hammer 2 sets wrist curls Grippers have not been agreeing with me this past 5 weeks so I not only didn't start with them today, I didn't really do much at all with them. I may need a week or two away from my grippers just to "find my groove" again with them. On the other hand, hub was great today. 2.5 pound PR for me. I would love to get to 50 on this lift. I know that's still a long way off, but with hard work I'll achieve it. Decided to not go through with the last week of the body recomp. I've lost a good deal of fat already and I think my body is telling me that it needs a week off now, not a week from now. My shoulder has been acting up and my forearms have been sore. Time to take a week off and rest. I'm very satisfied with the results and will post up some pics in a few days. Will come back in one week with a fresh program and will be back to eating more calories! MM0 look out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hardest thing to do for me when strength training and grip training is resting..i hate it but recently taking a few days off bending or strength training has resulted in PR's for me solid work outs man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man! Yes it's very hard, but is often the best for your training. During off Weeks I do all kinds of errands that I didn't have time to do before. For example...tomorrow i'm getting an oil change for my car lol. A nice break is always needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, strength and muscle is built in the kitchen and in bed, not the gym On a side note, I picked up my 2.5 out of nowhere yesterday and got 5 mms reps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony C. Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Here's a front and back shot.

Anthony C. Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks guys unfortunately at my height I'll probably never be "huge" or imposing, but I like to keep an athletic build. I've found that since I started grip training, all of my lifts have gone up handsomely. And yes I do love chins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis8589 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Great job on the cut man, looking good! Miring your back, aesthetics isn't my real goal in training, but i'm not gonna lie i really want a wide back lol Oh and awesome job on the 2.5, that gripper is no joke!

Miring your back, aesthetics isn't my real goal in training, but i'm not gonna lie i really want a wide back lol Oh and awesome job on the 2.5, that gripper is no joke! Thanks bro . I think a common misconception around here is that strength and size don't go hand in hand. You can be very strong and not look like a fatass at the same time. If your lifts are going up and you're eating just enough calories to put on quality, not sloppy size, then you'll get there man. The 3 will go down soon right now i'm very close to being able to ccs the 2.5 which i felt was unheard of when i first bought it months ago! Today grip First workout back in a week. Didn't really have time to log anything today, but i did a lot, a LOT of gripper sets. Got a little carried away. I also gave the vulcan a shot for the first time. Holy beans this thing is tough to set. I'm hoping it really helps my setting strength, which righ now is my weak link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
