How have your workouts been going metalhead? what are you doing these days?

[slobber]

Family brag related to a couple of pages back: My bro benched 345 when he weighed 158 (or very close to it, that is the weight that is in my head right now) as a Senior in HS.

it's no @metalhead, but I'm going on my fourth whole day without alcohol!

That's pretty good Tobias. I'm going on six days now

How have your workouts been going metalhead? what are you doing these days?

I'm deloading this week. I've been running some linear progression programming on the four main lifts, squat, bench, deadlift and overhead press. I'll pick that up again on Monday.

Been trying to eat healthier and stepped on the scale for the first time in a few weeks. 10lbs down

How much do you typically increase (poundage) per week or whatever time-frame you use?

I was running the basic 5x5 template, increasing each lift five pounds per week. I'm getting close to not being able to maintain that progression, hence the deload. I'll shoot for another four week cycle of this and then move on to something else. I've had success with Sheiko in the past, but I find the programs to be incredibly boring.

I don't know for sure what happened.  I am sure the years of bull riding didn't help the case out.  Basically, I have two of the 4 tendons torn.  One is the little tendon that attaches to the bicep.  The doc said that the only thing they can do there is just cut it loose and let it go (repairing it never works).  He said that I won't notice a difference in strength but that the bicep will look a little funny.  Recovery time......6 months.

The "cut it loose and let it go" part freaks me out

[CNS]

Fyi, my dad tore the tendon that goes from shoulder to top of bicept completely off about 4yrs ago.  His doc reattached it.  He had 6wk recovery as well, but has everything attached where its supposed to be.

Maybe a second opinion?

[Benja]

If a doctor told me he was going to "cut it loose and let it go" I might get 3 or 4 opinions

From what I understand, one tendon carries about 90% of the load and the other 10%.  The 10% one is the tendon that is torn.  I guess to fix that one, the tendon is shortened which creates more stress on it and causes it to rupture again almost 100% of the time.  This was the same story my bro in law's doc told him too (different doc and totally different practice).  I am still researching it tho.....

This is sorta random but somebody just tweeted me the video of the crossfit guy getting paralyzed. It's really terrible.

[steve dave]

You know who never gets paralyzed? Guys who run 1.25 miles in the morning and then sit all day message boarding and then take their offspring to the park and then drink 6 beers.
