Arm is fine. Took some Motrin and the numbness disappeared. Came right back after the pills wore off though. The soonest they can squeeze me in is later this month. In the meantime I have skipped the gym this week. maybe I am over doing it.
Different subject. My gym buddy took the 50+ (think that's the age) natty amateurs in Rhode Island. Now has gone pro. Dude busted his ass. My goal is this guy.

My gym got here ahead of schedule. The Rogue Ohio Power Bar has someseriousknurling on it. The reviews I read that said it was like sandpaper are pretty much dead on. I haven't lifted with it yet (just got it 5 min ago), but I can't say I've ever seen a bar that grips so well before.
I'll probably have to start deadlifting again just to try it out. It will definitely call for some high socks or pants though, as I'm pretty sure my shins will be gone if I didn't.

Looking at bbb I was apprehensive it wasnt enough work. I did not think that anymore after my 3rd set of 5x10 DLs jesus christ. I need some straps

I used to not cut my calluses, then one day while doing barbell shrugs one of them tore and bled all over the bar and floor. Never again.

Fuck... My coach didn't make the Olympic Team. Fuck.. he was so close. He did two press outs and got second on his division.

Anyone have any suggestions on jeans not made for normals? My waist is too thin and thighs too large. I was using a brand from American Eagle, but apparently the new batch, the thighs are made smaller now. So when I wear jeans, they hang off my waist, but I can't lift my legs more than a few inches because there's not a enough thigh room.

This sounds gay, but I bought a pair of stretch denim. Best thing I've ever done in my life.Anyone have any suggestions on jeans not made for normals? My waist is too thin and thighs too large.

The amount of rando shit going on at the squat rack today was infuriating.
1) Using the squat rack as an anchor for ropes
2) Using the squat rack void space to do planks
3) Standing on one leg bent over with a kettle ball
4) Horrible form crunches
5) As a social gathering zone to talk since group fitness = 10% working out 90% talking
Then once that group left someone took it over to do bicep curls. I had to use the leg press machine and I hate that machine.

At one gym I worked out, I had a guy bring in his wife and three daughters, and sit on the power rack an hour, doing deadlifts with just the bar. I remember, I asked him if I could use it to squat my 495 for reps, and he told me no. Most gyms, you'll be kicked out for using the power rack for non-power rack stuff, if someone complains. I didn't want to be "that guy."
