Hope the injuries heal fast!

My knee is pretty skinned up too, a small chunk missing here or there, but that is minor compared to the entire stitches debachle..

No worries, I'll be back in the gym on Monday.. and don't think for a second this will slow my progress.. Muwhahaha.

Dude hows the bike? J/K your a soldier brotha. Keep on marching!

stonecoldtruth · 04-07-2007, 10:11 PM

I got a call from the bike shop this morning telling me the bike survived the accident with a few scratches, but NO significant damage. The brake caliper needed some repairs, but the bike shop fixed that free of charge. I went and picked up the bike this afternoon and let me tell you that makes me feel 100% better about the situation. I did have to buy a new helmet since the mold apparently cracked on the old one. However, the Spoke-N-Sport gave me a 30% discount on any new helmet.. talk about an amazing group of guys.

My face is swollen pretty bad today and I like like the staypuffed marshmallow man, but other than that I am good. Spirits are high, rest is plenty, and Monday I'll be back in the gym.

Have a happy easter everyone.

Easter Update:
Face is somehow more swolen today than yesterday. My sister-in-law keeps helping me with keeping the wound clean and such, but so far the healing is SLOW going. My knee is still pretty banged up, so the trip to the gym tomorrow is in question.

I want to at least get in there and crank out some upper body lifting and maybe walk some, but we will see.

Just a quick update on things in Stonecold's world.

Work gave me a few days off with Medical leave to allow me to heal up, which is good since the pain seems to get worse each day. My father-in-law tells me this means I'm healing, gotta get worse before better right? I haven't been back in the gym yet except to weigh in. 4lbs down since I took my IMPC pictures, I think my body knows it is in competition mode :P

Tomorrow is my birthday so I am going to try and get back in the gym for a bit as a present to myself, but that is all depending on the status of these migraines/dizzy spells I've been getting. I also have a doctor's appointment in the morning to try and find some way to alleviate some of this pain.

I hope everyone is doing well, I'm psyched the IMPC has grown by such leaps and bounds.

stonecoldtruth · 04-12-2007, 09:28 PM

Anyone think I was dead? Well NOT QUITE. I've been enjoying some recovery time from my accident, and today after I got my stitches removed I decided the break was over. I hit up the gym, waterproof bandaid and all.

--------------------------------------------------------

Supplements Taken:

Preworkout:
2 scoops Controlled Labs White Flood
2 scoops Controlled Labs Purple Wraath

Postworkout:
2 scoops Anabolic Innovation's Whey Protein Isolate

Other:
2500mg Bulk Cissus

-----------------------------------------------------------

Workout Scores:

Focus - 9/10 - My focus was thrown off a tad by my gym shorts rubbing against the skinned part of my knee. Aside from that, on point.

Endurance - 7/10 - I felt fatigued during my cardio, but weights felt solid.

Energy - 7/10 - Same situation as endurance here, I felt really strong on weights.. but had a crash on cardio. However, this is where pure will comes in to play, I suffered through.

Pumps - 9/10 - My triceps and calves (from skipping rope) were just insanely pumped, not much going on in bis though.

Pain from injury - 3/10 - My knee is still tender, so no full on running yet. But my knee felt fine on skipping.

----------------------------------------------------

Workout Details:

Lifting:
4 sets of 6 Incline Bench Press (+5 increase)
3 sets of 12 Bench Press
3 sets of 15 Wide Grip Lat Pulldown (+10 increase)
3 sets of 8 Seated Row
3 sets of 15 Deathdefying Skullcrushers *see exercise description
4 sets of 12 Shoulder Press (+5 increase)

- Walk for makes

Giant set of Skipping:

Workout Notes:
For being my first workout back from injury it felt like a very solid workout and I was happy with the results. The cardio felt WAY harder than usual, but it was good to be challenged.

heal up quick SCT.

Nice WO buddy !

**Midnight_Lifter** · 04-13-2007, 03:23 AM

Nice to see you back...

stonecoldtruth · 04-13-2007, 10:05 PM

Before we begin today's log I must give a warning.

Due to the intense nature of the following cardio workout it is advised that young children and those faint of heart not attempt this at home, it is dangerous to your ego.

-----------------------------------------------

Workout Details:

Cycling:
8 miles to Gym

Stepmill:
15 minutes, 60 flights of floors

Walking:
1 mile recovery walk @4.0mph

Cycling:
8 miles Home

Legs = so heavy..

----------------------------------

Workout Scores:

Focus - 10/10 - If I could give this one an 11 I should would. I literally had to make up some mantra for the day and chant it to finish my stepmill. I have always thought I'm in pretty good shape when it comes to cardio, but DAMN.

Endurance - 9/10 - Despite my slow speed on the ride home, I still feel like I pushed it to the limit today.

Energy - 8/10 - The energy was strong and smooth at first, but I just hit a wall with the energy about 4 miles from home.. Those were four long miles.

Pain from injury - 2/10 - My knee was tender on the first few miles, after that I didn't notice it all day.

-------------------------------------

Supplements Taken:

Preworkout:
2 scoops Controlled Labs White Flood
3 scoops Controlled Labs Purple Wraath

Postworkout:
2 scoops Protein

Other:
2500mg Bulk Cissus
Extra Bulk BCAAs later in the day

SCT

Chi_town · 04-13-2007, 11:38 PM

Alright Buddy, I see more stepmilling in your future. LOL

Great going:clapping:

stonecoldtruth · 04-15-2007, 05:56 AM

Supplements Taken:

Preworkout -
2 scoops White Flood
1 scoop Purple Wraath

Other -
Bulk Cissus 2500mg (upon waking, 8 hours later)
Red Acid Gen 2 (4 hours postworkout)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Workout Scores:

Focus - 10/10 - I came, I saw, I conquered.

Endurance - 10/10 - The swim felt like I was a fish in water and the jumprope/laps felt so easy I seriously wished I had more time to punish myself.

Energy - 10/10 - I ate a tad closer to workout today due to time constraints and this seemed to have just RAMPED up my energy. Talk about an awesome workout.

Pumps - 10/10 - Again pumps in tris/shoulders while swimming and HUGE in the calves during jumprope.

----------------------------

Workout Details:

Swim -
- 1/4 mile total
- 50 warmup
- 100 kickboard
- 100 6 kick rolls
- 100 freestyle w/ fins
- 50 pull bouy
- 50 cooldown

Skipping-
5 sets of 50 skips + 1 lap around track

Cardio Notes -

I had intended to hit up the stepmill from hell again today, but both of them were taken and so I just did the jump rope extravaganza. Tomorrow will FOR SURE be some stepmilling, and either running/swimming/biking.

Red Acid Gen 2 (4 hours postworkout)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Workout Scores:

Focus - 10/10 - Even with some technical issues (mp3 player running out of batteries, bike computer messing up on ride home) I had a nice solid workout and KILLED the hills on the bike.

Endurance - 10/10 - The swim made me seriously think I was a fish in a past life, I was gliding through the water and though my triceps and shoulders were tired by the end, my endurance I've gained just let me power through it.

Energy - 8/10 - I hit the energy wall on the final hill by the house, that pissed me off. I believe it was due to too long of a workout.

----------------------------

Workout Details:

Cycling -
- 8 miles to gym

Swim -
- 500 distance
- 150 drill/cooldown

Basketball -
- 30 minutes total
- Run for misses
- Walk for makes

Cycling -
- 8 miles home

Cardio Notes -

The bike trails were PACKED today, which meant lots of 'on your left' coming from me. Nobody passed me today, but I quit counting how many bikers I zoomed by at 80.. yeah, that's right. I'm a bad man. No stepmill today, because well, I would have died.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Workout Scores:

Focus - 10/10 - With the kind of focus I had, I only wish I had more time to spend in the gym today.

Endurance - 10/10 - I believe I pushed myself to the limits today on weights, and found a new 'level' of me. I did a grueling weights workout and my body was like, ok cardio time, hehe.

Energy - 10/10 - It was like an endless flow of energy flowing into my body.

Pumps - 10/10 - I only did 2 sets of spider curls, but I swear the bicep peak was INSANE. Also, my calves were just insane. My lats even had a strong pump going on, as well as my pecs.

----------------------------

Workout Details:

Weights -
Incline DB Press 4x6
Bench Press 2x10 (+10 increase)
Lat Pulldown 3x8 (+10 increase)
Seated Row 3x10
Horizontal Machine Squats 4x6
Trap Bar Skullcrushers --- new exercise, freaking love this.
Seated Calf Raises 4x10
Standing Calf Raises 1x15 (full stack)
Leg Extensions 4x10
Thigh Abductor 4x10 (hit 175 on it, woohoo)
Thigh Adductor 4x10 (hit 150 on it, woohoo)

As you can see, it was an intense workout. Rest periods were almost non-existant due to only having an hour to do this workout. I came, I lifted, I almost puked, I went home.

You just got your package yesterday? I got mine when I was born.. you should sue the delivery guy :P

In other news, I'm taking a day off from the gym due to prior appointments, trying to get myself enrolled in school for the summer quarter. I hate the schools around here so I've been talking to all of them. With my job's 80% tuition reimbursement it doesn't make sense to NOT go to school.
