Saturday
Saturday 45 mins stepmill, Sunday 2plates sled drag for 10 laps. Goal was to go nonstop in 50 mins. It took 60mins. Saturday-Training started out good with some camberbar suspended gms. I did alot of warmup sets all close stance. Things were good till 2 and half plates then the addbutter flared up. I tried a couple more but it would not go. Did a few deads at 315 and taped out of that. -Did a few sets of rev hyper before adn after.-worked on assisted one legged pistol squats for about 10 sets of mostly 12-15 on the left and 8-10 on the right. Did some sets holding onto a bar and some with green band slip knotted over the top of the smith machine.

Wednesday and Thursday.
Wed, Thur Friday 30 mins stepmill-Got back really late from the store so I did not get any squats or pulls in so I did 8 sets of 25 two leg and 1 set of 25 per leg on the rev hyper.-Thought I would give the two small 300lb chains a whirl pulling them together. Got about a 1/3 of way aroung the gym and could not move them together anymore. I then took turns dragging each one around. I would pull one for 50-70 yards, walk back and get the other one with the rest being the walk back. This took along time and I was spent and high as a kite when done. Thursday-3 laps upperbody sled with 2 plates. first lap all press and flyes, second al pulls backwards and the third was a mix. I thought about a couple of options here-1 was 3 more upper laps and be done or 1 lap again alternating pulling the two small chains. I took two and paid for it as it took twice as long and I had to rest on each drag. Terrible choice but I slept great. Saturday I will give the squatting another go. Got it worked on by my mistress massage therapist who stood on my hammy adductor and glutes for pretty much a hour. The rest of the time she had me on my back with the bad leg pinned up by my head. Her sister held my leg in so mistress could hook and try to untangle the mess that is my addbutter right now. I told her this was not my idea of a threesome.

Saturday and Sunday 1 hour each day on stepmill. Monday NO cardio. Saturday training-Startet with 4 set of rev hyper-Still figthing with the addbutter thing. Tried a couple of squats with the guys but knew I would be out at two plates so I went off to another rack and did alot of 135lb close stance to get some work in. the sets were 5,10,15,20,25,50.-Close ham glute raise which ironically does not bother it. 4x8-rev hyper one leg for 25 each leg, then did 50 more two leg. -Lotso of stretching and helping the guys out who are preparing for a meet in Sept.-Things seem to be healing up some. My massage therapist literally stood on my adductor and hamstring for 30 minutes before it started to release. I think maybe a week or two more and I can go back to reular squatting. In the meantime, I will try some different things and see what happens.

He is Doc Ithink or retired. Anyhow, he seems like a good guy adn is a bench only dude which is good. Another challenge for the old dudes is how I sees it. The first night I see this guys he has the haircut like Pauly on the Sopranos and he comes in a Bada Bing tank top. I kept waiting on heyyyy or a ohhhh drug out in a thick accent. He also brought his own board. It looks like he will fit right in the misfit mix. he brought his own board in the first night so I wasnt sure if he was going to board press or dispense with a beating or shakedown.
