Hey everyone...sorry for the delay. I went ahead and created a sheet for this month so POST UP THEM PICS!

Deadline is August 14th, as it was last month. Let me know if you have any questions!

XiLe Ultra · 08-07-2008, 06:53 AM

Excellent, I'll definitely get it printed tomorrow, saved it.

Any word from Madman?

**Ikaika** · 08-07-2008, 06:48 PM

nope. He hasn't visited the site since 7/2/08 and hasn't responded to my PM so I'm not sure what's going on at this point. I'll update everyone when I have more information.

**Sirk** · 08-07-2008, 08:13 PM

I had PMed him as well. I hope he's ok.

XiLe Ultra · 08-07-2008, 11:03 PM

I hope he's alright as well.

Hey guys, sorry for my lack of being around and for not getting the download up on time. You probably all want to hang me up by my toes.

I'm battling a bit of depression stemming from constant training injuries and I'm taking on a massive research project at work, so my mind has been a bit distracted to say the least. It's not an excuse though, I should have been on top of this.

Thanks, Ikaika for getting it done.

I look forward to seeing how everyone is progressing.

XiLe Ultra · 08-08-2008, 01:06 AM

YES, Madman you're alive and injury free! Good to know that.

**Sirk** · 08-08-2008, 01:56 AM

good to see you back, madman

Hey man we're all just glad you're ok. I haven't been doing all that great since I've gotten so much smaller from the pneumonia but I'm working myself up to getting back to the gym. Tough stuff.

Hey Madman! Just glad to see you around!

Injuries suck! I had shoulder surgery last year and was completely off training (except for light cardio) for several months. If it wasn't for all the sex, I would've been depressed too. (My wife is very considerate.)

My main injury is my shoulder. It is just tendonitis/bursitis at this point, but it is taking FOREVER to heal up, and it effects every lift... I can't even hold a dumbbell at my side or stabilize a barbell across my traps without aggravating my shoulder. It's been damn near two months that I've been resting my shoulder, and it feels okay most of the time when I'm just doing everyday activities, but every once in a while something in there will pop and pain shoots through the whole joint, even into my back. I test some light presses every couple of weeks, and the joint starts to ache almost immediately. I was still doing machine squats, leg presses, extensions, etc., but now my patellar tendons are aching too, plus I think even tensing from those exercises has been impeding my shoulder from healing a bit.

So, I'm outta the gym completely now... and it blows!!! Months of gains are just fading into the sunset... bye-bye pecs, bye-bye shoulders.

Have you considered a cortisone shot or decompression surgery (drastic and last resort, of course)? Are you sure that's tendonitis/bursitis and not a rc tear?

DawnMarie · 08-13-2008, 11:16 PM

Thanks for posting up the download Ikaika and for letting us have until the 14th to post

...I almost missed the deadline...again!! Last month I waited until the last minute and then couldn't get them in on time...but I am still in this!

I am glad you are okay Madman, sorry about the inuries

Keep your chin up and I hope things get better ASAP!! I haven't experienced that myself but dealing with a bum thyroid since Nov I can empathize with the frustration of not being 100% and doing what you normally would for training. Sending some positive, get better vibes your way!
