Yep just sitting here waiting on them to call me and tell me if I get to stay or try to get another job. Know more soon. I'd love to go hit the gym but if they call and tell me I need to get to work then I'm shit outta luck. Know more soon. Thanks everyone but its hard to stay calm when you don't know if you've still got a job.

Keep progressing brothers!

I was reading some stuff by Arnold and I'm going to extend something that he said to life... Whether it is the last 3 or 4 reps of a set or enduring times of turmoil and strife, these are the areas that make us grow into the person we are. It is this area of pain and feeling uncomfortable that divides the champion and those that succeed in life from someone else who is not a champion. It is this level of perseverance and fortitude that most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain, endure the struggles and push on, no matter what happens that truly defines who we are...

Thanks guys. Had to go to the ER this AM per doctor's orders. Woke up with a 102º fever and feeling terrible. Long story short, I have another UTI AND tested positive for the flu. They felt I was doing well enough to go back home this afternoon. I'm on Tamiflu and more antibiotics. My labs still look good where my body can put up a fight. This chemo is rough stuff. Really looking forward to the end of it. One more chemo cycle starts next week. The last one.

Shit Brick! How you feeling today? I guess you are coming down with all this stuff because of the way the chemo affects your immune system.

Keep battling brother! I'll be praying for you.

Feeling better today Atom. Yeah, immune is pretty low right now. About at the low point they tell me. Seems these antibiotics from hell + the Tamiflu have me on the shitter every 30 minutes. Just glad to be home. They were talking about admitting me overnight to watch me. Just glad that didn't happen. They said I "looked" good. I said well I wish I "felt as good" as everyone thought I "looked" LMAO

Been wondering about IB too. You guys have a good one. No training for me until things settle down some.

Brick, I crushed it for you... fucking A am I sore as shit!

Absolutely awesome leg session. Just slayed myself and was beat to death

Lying Leg Curls 3 RP sets (15-20RP) 11+5+3 last Rp set was a drop set

Freemotion calf press 4 DC style sets

Squats...worked up to 3 heavy sets to failure. 12, 8, 6

Jefferson deadlifts 4 sets of 10

Hack Squats 3 heavy set 12, 10, 8 then one widowmaker.... Brick, that one was for you. It probably took me 3 minutes to finish the set. I kept going and going and going, going one rep at time

Superset seated calf raises 4 sets fo 10 w/
Leg Extensions 4 sets of 15 with a slow eccentric

Leg Press Pyramind up and down - Started light and moved the weight up by 20lbs doing 10 reps until I couldn't do 10, the I did 6 reps going up in weigh until I could no longer get a single rep. I then did that weight again and went all the way down the stack

That smoked me!
