Matt, he looks like a tough man. What happened?

Had a GREAT shoulder workout today. Trying to ramp it up. Training partner was pushing me and I was dishing it right back.

Good to see everyone stopping in!

Welcome squatster.

No gym for me today got some nfl tickets for tomorrow on top of working 10-12 hours a day 7 days a week. So usually I take the weekends off to spend extra time with the family.

Chest
Was having a great father/son workout until something shitty happened. I got to the gym 45mins before he did so was about to leave and he was still doing some db flyes. He's had an issue with a swollen elbow, tennis elbow maybe? But he refuses to give up, wont just let it heal...so he has me hand him the 75's and busts out 8 reps. I say "you wanna try the 85's?" He's like "yeah, lets do it". I tell him i was just kidding, better not push it...but now he wants to go heavy.lol. I said "idk dad, thats a serious weight jump" to which he replied "I'm a pretty serious old man!" Keep in mind he is 67 years old, so thats quite a bit of weight for somebody his age. He gets 3 good reps with the 85's and i say "come on one more!" Then a nasty pop comes from his elbow and he drops the db's on his chest on the 4th rep. He got up and it popped back into place, but within minutes a big fucking tumor appeared hanging off his elbow :( I felt like shit, i was joking around about going to the 85's but he wanted to prove himself to me...he refuses to get "old", but this was kind of an eye opener for him-that he's damn near 70 and his body wont let him do what he wants to do. Idk, just feel sorry for him and thought i'd share it i guess. I know it's gonna bother me when i get to that age where there's nothing you can do about it, father time gets us all...

Matt, sorry I missed this. Don't feel bad about it. It was an honest accident and you guys were caught up in the energy of a good workout. I do that too. He will be fine but injuries do suck. He looks great for his age BTW. Refusing to get old is a good thing in my book. 90% in your head. We all get old whether we are in the gym or not. Might as well do it with some muscle and style! People like that keep me going! Don't feel sorry for him in that way, be proud the man is still hitting the iron. How rare is that for someone his age? You are a lucky man you can train with your dad. That is great.

Had a great arm workout yesterday. Nice and intense. Planning on the wheels today.

Squatster, good to see you here brother! Drop in anytime. We just hang out and shot the sh*t about our workouts and life in general.

Had a great chest workout yesterday. Went up in weight on my dumbbell presses to a zone I have not done in a while. Good stuff for my head.

Gonna try for some back if my job allows today.

You meatheads have a great Tuesday!

Hit back yesterday pretty hard today I have food poisoning so I haven't eaten or even thought about training. Hopefully it's gone by tomorrow.

Damn, you got any antibiotics on hand? A couple doses of Cipro works wonders for intestinal crap.

Long day in chemo yesterday. Now I'm wired on the decadron they give me. Planning on shoulders and traps later.

No, you would need a script. Might be worth a trip to the quick clinic, rather than suffer. I have used it in the past and t hey gave to to me for food poisoning. That's how I know about it. I've also had to use it in Mexico but its OTC there.
