[mikeystrong]

Completely slept in this AM... not intentionally lol Nonetheless, still had a great arm workout.

Superset of Machine preachers using a 6/4 rep technique with triceps press downs : 4 sets of each
Superset of hammer curls with triceps dips: 4 sets of each
Superset of incline DB curls and seated cable skullcrushers: 4 sets of each
Superset of slider curls and overhead triceps extensions: 3 sets of each but used a higher rep range
BB curls 40s plus drop sets
Cable triceps extensions drop set doing two sets at each weight resting 10 sec between sets

Thoughts are with the Brick

Ran my shoulders through the mud today! Rocked the front delts rear delts and traps

 

[mikeystrong]

Botched chest today, Started off good tho. Did some heavy bench (went good) then Inclind db press (good also). And by taking advice from a friend i tried working in some rear delt, traps, and tricep work into my chest day. Aaaaand thats where things went wrong. Not gonna go into detail but i pretty much did stuff in the wrong order, confused myself and burnt myself out to fast. Gonna eat a bunch tonight and go back hard at it tomorow!

Hey brothers, I got home from the hospital late yesterday. I was on the OR table Wed. afternoon about 6 hours. Got in my room Wednesday night. My surgeon feels good about the result. He thinks we got everything that was bad out. Hopefully, my new biopsy report next week will confirm that. The tumor was bigger than they thought but he did it all with a scope and robotically. That's a relief, I didn't want a huge incision. I am very, very sore and I have to wear this cath for 2 weeks while my bladder heals to get water-tight again. No training for 6 weeks. I can live with that. What a journey.

You guys have been great and I sure appreciate it. Good to see everyone training hard. I'll be getting plenty of rest in the next days. When the surgeon said this was a big surgery, he wasn't kidding! I'm getting stronger day by day, but I still have a way to go. All in all, it turned out great, and I had the best result under these circumstances.

Your brother in iron,
Mick the brick

BRICK! I love you! The prognosis sounds promising and we know you are a fighter... We are like you extended family and hopefully the positivity from all of us here will speed the healing.

Pretty interesting couple of days for me...it looks like we nailed down our date for our wedding and have the venue picked out. I've been doing a lot of calling and handling the financial details. I like doing that kind of stuff so it's all good...

Cranked my legs up good today and now I m doing lying leg curls every single day to bring up my hammies. Trying a little supercompensation just bombing them away and then backing off.

Today's session:
Seated leg curls 1x20, 1x15, 1x12, 3x10
Squats 1x15, 1x12, 1x10, 2x6 - I crushed these! Real deep and took my time on the eccentric. Quads are killing me now
SLDLs 4x12
Seated calf raises 4x12 - done DC style
Leg Press 1x40, 1x25, 1x15, 1x12, 1x10, 1x8
Lying Leg curls 4x12
Leg Extension 4x15 with 5, 5, 10, 15 partials in respective sets

Morning brothers. My battle is not over. Found out yesterday... my test results say the cancer did spread into a lymph node so I will be starting chemo in 2-3 weeks. They want me to heal from my surgery first. I sure do miss the gym. I'll be glad when this damn bladder cath can come out in a couple weeks. At least I will have more mobility.

You guys put a plate on the bar for me.
