Line - "We Can Rebuild Him"

[Line]

Last night I trained Chest and Arms with Glex for the first time in about 3 weeks. The weird thing was, I really didn't want to be in the gym but thanks to his encouragement I managed to string along a fairly respectable session and I can only hope to improve in the near future.

...that's all there is to that. As you can see my weights are still understandibly down but they should be improving soon. I also have some discomfort in my right pinky and wrist (punching a wall...I know...I'm an idiot). Hopefully I'll hit up legs sometime this afternoon but it's hard to say because my sleep schedule has me being officially nocturnal these days. I can tell you one thing though, now that I'm back in the gym I'm eating like a madman to get my bulk back on track.

That's it for now everyone. Until next time: Hit 'em up!

100's for reps, you go girl

 

[Paulie]

10:50 p.m.!! Lol, I didnt know people even trained that late. You probably went to bed around 2 or 3 in the morning drinking anyways. But that was a pretty good session you had there. Very respectable weights. Hopefully the numbers get back up there again.

I really like those lying db skullcrushers. I dont really like using an ez-bar because I cant feel the contraction in my triceps. With DB's, it feels really good and dominates the triceps much much better.

its about time i post in here.. what u trainin today.?

oh yeah, do you train drunk?

 

[Clint]

how did I miss this

I'm sorry sweetie

Bench is great man, 7 reps on your last set is killer, then smashing those 100lbs on incline...you bastard Thats flippin awesome

heavy weight on those db skullcrushers too, those bitches are hard as crap but feel outstanding

great work all around Line, strong as an ox even when your taking it easy

[PUMBA]

[Chesticles]

Hey guys. I ended up taking more time off than I would of liked. As I mentioned, there were issues with depression earlier and then school work, being sick, and yet more depression took over and I just felt worn out and tired all-day-every-day.

That being said, I start again today and will not only have an update for you but will also be around to give you guys the props you deserve. Later on, fellas

 

[Rocky]

Glad things are back on track for you buddy. Looking forweard to seeing the new improved Line at work. Take care man.

 

[Clint]

wheres the damn session

 

[Flex]

Hope you're out of the recent depression Line. What did you accomplish yesterday?

 

[Line]

Thanks to everyone who's wished me well on my sabbatical. Things have been somewhat rough but I'm feeling better and doing pretty well in school and am in pretty good spirits. Glex has been getting on me for not going to the gym lately so today I started back and even have been eating well again. Sadly, I managed to cut my finger while preparing a meal so I didn't want to go crazy on too many exercises that are grip dependent.

...Overall, it just felt good to be back.

Tomorrow I'll hopefully be putting in a really light and brief leg day and then be back with Glex on Wednesday for Chest and Arms. That's it, until next time: hit 'em up

 

[Clint]

yoru back work is still great dude


damn your shoulders are still insanely strong too, you and your crazy shoulder strength, how I envy you and your genetics

Glad to have you back Joe, we really missed you around the logs section Stay strong buddy and hopefully with finals coming up you can still find time to work in a few sessions here and there.

I was the only one that commented

LOL, yeah I saw that too, Tweaker. It's all good. I just got back into the gym and have to pay my dues (figuratively) to get back in the shape I was. I'm not really looking for much attention until then.

Thanks for reading, until next time: hit 'em up

 

[Clint]

damn you and your still heavy bench press

good inclines, you could have at least attempted to go heavier then me weak

overal pretty solid work, hell its scary that your just warming up, in a month your strength is going to be scary again

good work Joe
