SS Silv Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I use to lift 5 days a weak, but not anymore. PHUCK tendonitis I haven't found a way around it. Anyone else have this problem, after lifting it develops in my forearms, to the exctent that I won't be able to lift for a good week and 1/2.

Z4pp Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Ouchies, go to the doc and get that fixed, I wouldnt feel right, not being able to lift. What you should do is go to the gym and lift light, then gradually move on to heavier. Maybe with some stress on your forearms they will start to get stronger. Similar thing happened to me when I started working out this time around. I was trying to lift what I used to lift even though I stopped lifting for 12+ months and I just could not, and my forearms would give out randomly and then my I wouldnt even be able to rep the bar in bench. No bs. Just got to take it slow. Hope this helps lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is, I was noticing some huge gains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_a_n_payne Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Im more of a cardio type of guy...weights are boring to me....even tho running is not much more fun, I kinda like it....The last time I maxed out was 5 years ago and I got 185....I quit that and went onto boxing...ran 5 miles a day....Never lifted weights ever again...I loved it until I got to college and fell off my training schedule....Now I cant even get two miles....Its pretty horrible but I think Im gonna start back with wights this summer....Ive packed on a few pounds and I think itll be pretty easy to turn it into muscle...

SS_bnoon_SS Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 The last couple of updates I did for lifting have gotten some pretty good responses from this board. I've gained over 17-18 pounds of muscle since January with only one bulk cycle (gained 23 pounds total, and gained only 1% body fat gain to 17%). I'm now on a cutting cycle and doing high reps/cardio and am already down to 13% body fat and dropped almost 10 pounds in the last week and a half. I never knew I had the genes for this body building thing, otherwise I would have done it in my 20's when it could have really counted!!! Stats: Dead lift: 275/315/365/405 by 10/8/6/4 rep sets Bench: 185/225/245/245 by 10/8/6/4 rep sets Squat: 275/315/365/365 by 10/8/6/4 rep sets Those are my 3 favorite workouts on "heavy weeks", but now that I'm doing the lower weight/high rep, I like the lat pull downs the best. Every workout I do weights that I can barely reach 18-20 reps for 4 sets, then do cardio for 30-45 minutes on the eliptical. Feel the burn!!!!

But our strength in sets is pretty much the same, EXCEPT SQUATS, I dread working out my legs so I usually skip out on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then followed with proper PCT called Rebound XT and continued thistle milk caps. Now with the high reps and cardio (plus playing volleyball one night a week), I'm seeing the weight melt off. If I can get to single digit fat percent (or at least close) I'll feel pretty damn good. BTW, do the legs!!! It makes everything easier in daily life... I especially notice that pushing the lawn mower is much easier this year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
