and dont forget to keep that barbell right to your body and actually DRAG it all the way UP AND down....you get a killer burn!....

i actually used the underhand grip too NS...i like it better...

NS,

Just wanted to let you know, I did the drag curls and OMG! Talk about DOMS...holy mother of gawd. Thanks for the suggestion and explanation, it's my new fav bicep exercise!

RaSP · 05-25-2006, 09:03 PM

Overhand grip on those is what my doc says caused my tendonitis. I'm "underhanded" now, too.

Thanks for visiting my journal.

Nice job on the workout and I hope you have a great day tomorrow also!

Hey NS, thanks for stopping by and wishing me well. The next 2 weeks until Surgery I will have to modify my workouts and think of something else in light weights, since that is all I have at home and the kids are out for the summer. I am not a member of the Y so I cannot take them to the gym with me. It would be different if they would be a little older and I could take them there and have them workout by my side. My oldest will be 11 in September and the little one will be 9 in beginning of next year. I will still have to wait a few more years until I can take the oldest.

Well, it will be an stay at home day and stay inside day all day today, since we have a storm upstairs LOL. It started last night with rain, went over to hail, severe Thunderstorm warning with possible Tornado and now just heavy rain again. We do need the rain, but it sucks with 2 kids home and nothing for them to do besides watching tv, reading books and playing on the PC or PS2. It will suck even more when the Electricity goes out, which I certainly hope it doesn't.

Have a great Humpday sweets!

Man, I hope your shoulders get better man. Relax a bit, don't want to hurt something else compensating for your shoulders.

Hey Spawny,

Glad to hear your shoulder is okay now, but make sure you look after it in the future.

Your workouts are so straightforward. Its great, no BS, just pure lifting. I can only guess how hard you sweat in the gym, buddy

Have a good weekend yourself!

pammiejoe6 · 06-06-2006, 03:55 AM

sometimes your body just needs a rest NS...have you taken a week off recently??

Trick D · 06-06-2006, 04:28 AM

Rest is probably it, and maybe if you are stressed.. anything bothering you big guy? Stress kills me in the gym.
