thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[AtomAnt]

Lame-O cardio day... I was feeling like crap with my stomach all day and I asked my acupuncturist if there is something he can do. He told me to come by after work since his afternoon was open. Well he placed a few needles below my knees (where he said was a trigger point for nausea) and then placed a few on my stomach and attached some electrodes. Amazingly I got up and the nausea was gone! Pretty freaking cool.

I ended up doing heavy trap training and calves also. It was really an off day, but I wanted to lift.

Atom Ant, what does your acupuncturist charge? I would like to try it myself.

Delts and traps today. Not too bad. Hooked up with an old training partner today,. He's been out for a while with his job and he's happy to be pushing some iron again. A good training partner is worth their weight in gold.

That is true...if I had some gold, I would totally trade it for a good training partner!

Shoulders today for me, too. Only had 45 minutes, so I got all the work in with almost none of the rest time. Turned from what I thought would be a shitty, rushed session into a very cool trip to the "zone." Redirected the stress caused by a flaky employee into a good rage against gravity. Win.

My insurance covers 20 sessions per year depending on where it is done. My acupuncturist is at the U. of Maryland center for Integrative Medicine during the day and runs his own practice as well. Insurance doesn't cover it at his own practice, but it is only $50. So once I use up my insurance sessions, I'll just pay out of pocket to see him.

Sounds great Atom. I'm looking into some accu too.. Glad to see everyone did some conditioning one way or another..except me who had confusing day off thinking I should go to the gym but then again I needed to refueling..you know what I'm talking about..? I'm still confused..lol. Chris .Triple .Brick ,Atom .T if ure out there have a great Friday. Shoulders today .hope it will stop my confusion and anxiety.
Xmen where u ? Dog dragging u around like it should ?

 

[tripletotal]

In the mood to pick up heavy shit today. Deadlifts and nothing else. No accessory work, nothing but pulling until my body and brain both admit defeat. I will pay for it tomorrow, but I don't care today. I have no idea why, but I feel like I could PR today.

I wish everyone a fantastic Friday and an awesome weekend.

Pretty sure I got this pic from the "best ass" thread on this board...inspiring.

Triple that's a snatch and jerk move there bro...T glad ure back on bro . Kinda odd when u aren't .. Glad to hear you are doing squats after a few ordeals u fell into., so don't be so hard on yourself and eat a steak ..
Shoulder day and traps. Went pretty well doing a few different movements to strengthen my rotators up because after the surgery I visualize rippage in bad dreams and no way do I need that .. Sheesh.. Girl I've been talking smack too that can talk it better back at me kinda thinks Ib is her buddy but she's more a friend than a slam dunk persay. You know when she's asking number for plumbing repairs to her apt complete somethins up and then wanting to do legs. Monday. Well, nah.. I run tempo and no time to chit chat .. I'll sell her to anyone? Lol. Have a great night . T I hit u up ltr.

 

[AtomAnt]

Glad to see you guys gettin' it done!

I'm feeling a little better today but have been drinking shakes and having EAAs all day because it is hard to eat. I was really surprised at my session tonight. Crushed every exercise! Chest, best my previous reps by 4, shoulders, beat it by 5 and tris, went up 10 lbs and tied last time.

IB, that is funny you saying that the girl you are seeing can talk shit back. The girl I just started seeing is the same way. I love it lol

Take it easy my brothers!

 

[thebrick]

Hit the guns today. Better than I was expecting. Dealing with my shoulder issue. Broke down and took a Mobic this AM with the coffee. Getting a little older ain't for pussies.

 

[turbobusa]

Ok started my day with wife screaming that my male pitts were locked up scrapping hard. Man that was bitch getting them apart. Talk about stinking!
They always smell horrible if they get into a clash . Nuff of that . Getting ready for chest and shoulders at the patience place. Need a good one.
Check back later... T

 

[tripletotal]

Atom, i'm feeling your pain. Had something not so good to eat this afternoon and feel like I could vomit any moment since. Fuck.

Good thing it was a rest day.

 

[Ironbuilt]

[Ironbuilt]

Doozy to say the least . suprised myself with the back workout.
Lot of heavy sets(for me) in a short amount of time..
Tomorrow all arms with some calves thrown in for good measure.... T

Nausea moved on down and through...seems to be letting up now. Gonna go deep into a 5X5X5 tomorrow. Hope everybody enjoyed their weekend.
