madman911 - August picture update - Open Bodybuilding

**madman911** · 08-04-2007, 02:02 AM

This has been a rough month for me. I've battled a frustrating and unusual injury, my lifts are all down, my intensity has been between 50-80% of normal, but I've kept the diet on point. So, all in all I made decent progress. My injury is getting better, but I am taking it slow. Once I am back in full swing, there will be no stopping me...

Sweet fancy Moses, my mm face is just ridiculous. I look like a buff troll living under a bridge in some fairy tale.

i love the MM face.

its gorgeous

what injury did you have the unfortunate luck to contract?

**madman911** · 08-04-2007, 02:47 AM

I have intercostal neuralgia... an inflammation of a nerve that runs between ribs. There's no direct cause to attribute it to, it just popped up suddenly one night right before I went to bed. The pain was constant and very severe when it initially started about a month ago. I could barely lift at all, and when I did, I wanted to puke from the pain. Now, it only hurts during workouts and it's more of a dull nagging pain than a stabbing shooting pain. Well, it did stab and shoot last night when I tried some leg presses for the first time since it started... that was a wrong move... LOL. I need to take it slow... I'm not good at that. I'm a full throttle mofo.

**romanaz** · 08-04-2007, 04:34 AM

Even with injury you are making very good progress bro. Keep at it and continue to dawn the red bandana and you'll be golden.

You look great to me!! Keep up the good work. I'm sorry about your injury. That does sound like something that would be irritating as Hell. I hate when things get in my way when I'm on a mission. Hope it heals up soon!

Thanks for all the encouragement my ironmass bros and gals.

I'm pleased to say that I was able to train this past week at my usual intensity level. I still have a little pain in my rib off and on, but it is definitely winding down. I have the fire of competition running through my veins again... this next month is gonna be FUN.

And, Succio, your silly little photos are powerless against me. Remember, I have a wife and kids who don't follow my strict dietary ways; my kitchen is regularly stocked with ice cream, oreos, pizza... I just won't touch that stuff.
