Hit an easy 300 squat today, if I had more weight I would have tried more but 300 was all I had.
Only got 190 on bench though (trying for 200 club). At least its still improving. /rekt |

Fucked up my shoulder playing some ultimate frisbee a few weeks ago, now all I'm able to do is squat, deadlift, and some auxiliary lifts. There goes my goal of hitting 300 before the end of the school year

Had a decent training week (5+ set):
Press: 195 x 8 Squat: 320 x 11 Bench: 275 x 13 Deadlift: 355 x 12 The Press and Deadlift were just little off my all time rep PRs at the same weights, but the Squat was a 2 rep PR, and the Bench was a 1 rep PR. Also, the Titan Farmer's Walk handles came in; haven't used them yet. Hopefully, this week. |

I have had an intense pain at the base of my neck on the left side the last two workouts I did lateral raises or shrugs.
Has anyone else had this happen? I think it is just cramps, but I've never had this happen before and only since I started using a PWO. |

In other news, I haven't failed a 225# snatch in the last 6 attempts. #feelsgoodman Failed from the hang today, but I think only from fatigue. I also am down 2 kilos from last week, I'm sure most of that is water but at least SOMETHING is happening.
In all, great success in May, thus far. |

Well following the good monday was an iffy tuesday. Went to pull 455 and it seemed like every muscle above mid-back cramped. I struggled to get my belt off so I could stretch it out. Sucked butt. :( I guess I'm glad to be pulling heavier weights again, just sucks that 500 seems so far away...

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LawyerUp:
What specifically do you use? GHRP -2 convinces your pituitary gland to release a pulse of your natural growth hormone. Normally you get one pulse per day, this just tells the body to do another each time it's used. Sermorelin is used in conjunction with GHRP to increase the peak and duration of the GH pulse, you effectively get 10x the use when combining the two. Those are the three I use if I have a hot-spot I'm trying to heal. I just take the Serm and GHRP daily if nothing in particular hurts. After two years of hurting with a minor tear to my rotator cuff, TB-500 fixed it in 3 months. That's a really good all-purpose peptide that just ramps up healing overall. I have several good success stories with the BPC-157, wife sprained her ankle last year, my son badly twisted his knee and neighbor tore an ACL. All had great results. There's even a medical journal I read that said it (BPC -157) is a likely replacement for surgical tendon to bone repairs. I'll look for it when I get home, I'm at Costco with the wife. There's a crapload more of them that I don't know anything about, but it's really a cool deal that has a ton to offer. It's not a steroid or even anabolic at all, it's just a way to help you feel like you're 25 again - because you're back to producing as much natural growth hormone as you did at 25. Slow fixes though, don't expect overnight success. For example, TB-500 is awesome, but you won't even notice for a month. After three months my shoulders felt new. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LawyerUp:
Damn, ok. This sounds complicated. Are these prescription? Injected by doctors? You inject it yourself, it's a water based injection so you can use a tiny needle just under the skin, my wife was doing it under the skin at her ankle so it's not like you're going deep. The amount in each injection is really small, like .2ml. I inject once a day, but if you really wanted to get healed faster you'd want two or three extra GH pulses during the day instead of the natural one (usually about 2am when you're in deep sleep). You want to inject on an empty stomach and not eat for at least an hour after, so first thing in the am is best for me. BPC-157 = Tendons and ligaments GHRP = GH producing Sermorelin = Makes GH better by far Take each of these all in the same injection at the site of pain, take .1ml each, take as many shots per day as you want. TB-500 = Skin and tissue healing primarily (includes muscles and connective tissues) Take one shot of .25ml/week for at LEAST 14 weeks, maybe 16-18 weeks, then stay off of it for the rest of a year. Here's a video that helps you understand how they work and what it's doing long and short term to you.  Boost Growth Hormone with Sermorelin EDIT- Changed the video to a better one. |

I benched for the first time today. The only way I was able to do it was w/ the widest grip possible, which actually felt really good on my pecs, and very light on my shoulders. Went 5x5 at 245. I'll start researching teh peptides. |

I think I re-broke that stupid bone spur on the top of my knee cap. Damnit. Not even sure what to do about it at this point, the top of my knee cap hurts like hell, especially if I leave it in one place for very long. Tried squatting today, it felt ok till I got to 355, then I guess the tension on the spur kicks in or something, pain turned on like a light switch.
Off to research peptides... lol I had a cortisone shot in that spur last year that was supposed to dissolve it. |
