Rocky's Log - King of the Jim

Good session but be carefull with your back bro you only got one. Keep up the good work

 

[Glex]

Holy volume, Batman

Sucks about your back...at least you never sell yourself short. That's how I am too with injuries...I don't want to think myself a pussy and not do something, so I keep sustaining smaller injuries of the same type until eventually it goes away Just take care of yourself, man.

 

[Chesticles]

Nice session man, you need to watch that back though dude. Just don't work it for a week, it's what I do and it seems to work fine.

 

[Rocky]

Thanks for all the words fellas and you're all right I should lay off but I'm a twat.

I went in today and to be fair I did go easier...albeit not always by choice. My back is still a little ropey not just where I injured it before but my lower back wants to get in on the injury scene too which is pleasant

This was how it went:

120kg (265lb) x 1

Lying DB Pullover
45kg (100lb) x 15

Deads
100kg (220lb) x 10
140kg (310lb) x 6 - grip
180kg (400lb) x bailed wasn't too sure with my back so left it - thought it would be ok though - was last time.

Mentally unmotivated now and couldn't be arsed.

T Bar Row

50kg (110lb) x 9
50kg (110lb) x 8

Smith Front Squat
80kg (180lb) x 8
was gonna go for 100kg but seeing as that was how I did my back last time didn't bother.

Thoroughly arsed off with this session - one that my back still isn't right and that I am STILL and seemingly FOREVR cunting well stuck at 5 or 6 reps with the 100lb's on DB press. After my PB on bench last time, narrowly missing the 300lb mark I don't know why I am still stuck at this. Shitting bastard exercise.
That is all.

[Rocky]

Thanks vik and rage - yep - just gotta keep plugging away!

Anyway, my back is giving me all kinds of gip. It seems to ache in different places all the time. I think when I did it in the other week it opened Pandoras box and now loads of niggles and pains are having their say. Think I'm gonna have to get some physio sorted out.
Well played todays session by ear, and I wasn't overly impressed again.

Well another session which ends with the last parts of it being sub par due to my back.
Getting mighty jarred off with it now. Disappointed with the seated DB military - I deliberately went lighter and was expecting more reps.

 

[Big VIC]

well you still got a bunch of great pbs good job rocky

Looks pretty impressive to me Rocky. The lunges are crazy as always.

Btw, i'm sorry to hear about your back problems, i suffer the same kind of problems (pain in all different areas) after i had an injury doing SLDL's a while back. What always seems to help me out nowadays is doing some roman chair and good morning with very light weight and very high reps fairly rapidly before i begin any workout. Sometimes i'll throw some light and high reps SLDL's in there aswell. It seems to work for me, maybe you could give it a go?

[Glex]

DB Military
20kg (45lb) x 10
27.5kg (60lb) x 10
35kg (77lb) x 6 was expecting 10 from this.

[Pickle]

whats going on rocko what did i miss how did you hurt your back? thought about some time off young stallion?

I send you my love anyway and hope you get better.

 

[Rocky]

Thanks for all the words of support and encouragement. My back got worse over the weekend while I was working in the garden - lower back this time - that was 5 days ago and it still hurts now. Can't bend much in any direction without it hurting enough to stop me bending further. Throbs all the time even without bending hence I didn't go to the gym on Monday as was planned.
Am hoping to go in tomorrow and play it by ear again and just knock off any deads and minimise rowing weight. Fucks me right off though especially given the improvements I'd made just for this to happen.
I've stopped the creatine too cos it just seemed a waste of time given the circumstances. Well hopefully I'll be right to have a session of sorts tomorrow. If so I'll post up how it goes.
Thanks again everyone.
