nightlight Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 SOOOOOOO. we're doing this again. I did get my shit together last challenge, but not as much as I would have hoped. Goal 1: Go to the fucking box and fix yo self. How?Part 1: Follow the program to the best of my ability. 3x per week. Part 2: 15min mobility 3x per week Goal 2: Dani Two-Bricks Last year, I weighed in at 147. (on a scale at a rock climbing gym i was at with the nerds) I want that back. I want my dead hang pullups back. I need to get my diet under control. This also will involve a lot of mental work. How?FOLLOW THE PLAN. I'm keeping the plan a semi secret for now. Just because I feel like if I share things, I tend to fail. So, if you want to see what I'm eating you can look on MFP. Fair warning though, the macros are not correct, so it won't mean that much. Goal 3: Get Your Mind RightI did ok on this one last challenge, but I think I need to continue. How?Just do one thing per night. Practice guitar for a total of 45min per week. 1 Quote "Come with me if you want to lift" -The Brominator "Later, I would learn that coincidences are the most planned things in the world.

Sam Ashen Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Okay! Here you go! OK, there's this panda, and he escapes from the zoo, and he's walking around town, and he thinks "I could really do with a shag!" So off he goes down to the local bar to try and pick up a girl.So he's at the bar, and this girl (a prostitute) slides up to him and starts hitting on him. Panda thinks "Ello...I'm on here."So they end up back at her place and the Panda says "I'm really hungry, do you have any food?"The prostitute gives him some food, and then they get down to it.Afterwards, the panda gets up and starts to leave. Now the whore doesn't like this and she says, "Where are you going, where's my money?"Panda says, "Money? What are you on about?"Prostitute says, "I'm a prostitute for pete's sake!!"Panda says, "What's a prostitute?"She throws him a dictionary and says, "Look it up!!"Panda looks it up: "PROSTITUTE - A woman who has sex for money." Panda throws the dictionary back at her and says "So what. I'm a panda."Prostitute says, "So."Panda says, "Look it up."So she looks it up, and reads out aloud: "PANDA - Eats shoots and leaves." Let me guess: You heard that one a long time ago! 1 Quote Classless Human Male Warrior - Introduction Height: 1.77m Weight: 93 kg Spoiler Current Maxes: (repsxkg) Squat: 10x122.3, 5x138.2, 3x147; 1x170 Bench Press: 10x79, 5x93, 1x102 Deadlift: 10x152, 5x192, 3x210, 1x229 Overhead Press: 10x52, 5x61, 1x70.3 Current Battle Log: 1707 Sam Ashen Summer Swole Program 2017 Challenges: 1701 1702 1703 1704 1705 Previous Challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1603 1604 1605 1606 1607 1609 1610 1611 1612 Daily Log:The Daily Grind Form Check: Stronglifts Olympic More FC's: Pistol Squats Want to play?

nightlight Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Day 1, Monday. Goal 1: Go to the fucking box and fix yo self. Still paying someone to program for me. This will continue till mid-may. then i will decide if i want to keep going with this particular coach or not. Workout:Work to a 5RM OHP with 5-10lb jumps.33x5 (twice)53x563x573x5 The last set was kinda rough, but doesn't look like it on video. I used to be able to hit 73 for 12... but, baby steps. i also tweaked my levator scapulae ( i think) on the set of 53. i stimmed it to hell last night hoping that would help, but it didn't. so now i can't turn my head. WOO. Work to a 5RM bench press with 10-20lb jumps33x553x563x573x583x593x5 I don't feel so horrible about bench as i do about OHP. my old 1rm was 115 (or 120, i forget) so i feel like i don't have as far to go to get back into fighting shape. i also probably could have hit 100x5 or 105x5 but i am concentrating on NOT arching so hard (to protect my lower back) working on keeping a good low arch, and keeping my lumbar as neutral as possible. (i know, kind of counter-intuitive to bench, but my back is more important than my bench numbers) 5x10 push ups. these were fine. but i need to learn how to do real military style push ups instead of hand release. 5-10min mobility on my trap/shoulder where i tweaked it. Goal 2: Dani Two-Bricks Followed the plan. i missed a protein shake, because, frankly, i just didn't want it. Goal 3: Get Your Mind Righti did the dishes! and made myself dinner. stimmed my neck while watching bad TV. got sleepy around 9:07 (i remember looking at the clock) crawled into bed with my kobo. read a couple of chapters of the 2nd Mistborn. then BAM.

nightlight Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I want a stim-machine. Does it help?i love mine. i have this one:http://www.amazon.com/Zewa-Spabuddy-Sport-Tens-Therapy/dp/B00CMDYRMU/Seems like the price fluctuates, but I got it for ~50. For me, it just settles my back. So if i start feeling "weird" after working out and coaching a couple of classes, before i go to bed, i put it on program 3 (most like the kind of stim you get at physical therapy) for 20 min, go to bed, and am fine in the morning. physiologically, i'm not sure it does anything. but i know the stim is supposed to help turn off the pain signals, which is why i think it helps me. so pretty much i just use it to tell my back to stop freaking out over nothing.
