Brick, as your will gets tested more and more, know you are stronger than anything throw at you and you will get through it... You've been tested over and again and keep battling back... this is just the same.

nautilus Incline Machine press 4 sets of 10 with 6-10 partials after every set and then did a static hold
Incline Scoop fly 4 sets of 12 getting a real deep stretch

Ultra wide shoulder press 5 sets of 12
Arnold press 4 sets of 10
Tri set of Laterals, Rear delts and front raises 12 reps on each - 4 sets each

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

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.

Well fuk that cancer its messing with wrong guy..

Heres a laugh. I had heart issue so never pissed for 2 days .go to ER in my truck parked it with flashers going.Hobble in and say I got some issue.

Nah it's not so bad. You go slightly lighter. The front squats wear you down and then you get an extra kick when you switch to back squats.
Keep good tempo and go deeeep.

Ok it's a bit draining. Makes for an awesome first exercise set.

 

[mikeystrong]

Thanks Jim! I'm thinking about going to a HIT / HFT program soon... I've been doing volume for a while and want to hit each muscle groups 3x per week for a bit and see how it goes. I'm thinking 8-12 high intensity sets per muscle group per day...
Something like this:

Hammies/Quads/Calves
Chest/shoulders/tris
Back/bis
Hammies/Quads/Calves
Chest/shoulders/tris
Back/bis
Rest
