Staying in Shape 2012/2013

Sadly there are quite a few here who are the same way. They probably couldnt pass the obstacle course now even though they had to when hired. The inmates workout, all day, pushups, pullups, dips, they find ways to make weighted objects to lift. If you don't stay in shape then your asking for a problem.

I had to take all last week off from everything because of the optometrist having to remove the loose skin off my eyeball. Things got interesting when he brought out a mini dremel type tool to smooth the edges on my eyeball.

My diet is back under control and my weight is slowly going back in the right direction. I need to get to 225. Seems like this is the hardest 10lbs to drop.

I got promoted to blue belt in jiu-jitsu last night.

Congrats larry!

I am under 240 now. Maybe if I start riding the MTB that I worked on last week it will go down some more.

Have not been on anything in months. Bike is collecting dust and my waste is showing it. I have to get back on it! Just lazy lately //OLDSKOOL//

I am in maintenance mode. Not trying to get slimmer, stronger or gain endurance.

Weight is staying between 233 and 238. Still rocking the cardio 5 days, weights 3 and BJJ 3 to 5 days.

Most important thing is I am still loving all my workouts and I am very happy with where I am right now.

Need some help!  :hlp

My elbow is killing me!!! The muscle running from my outer wrist up to my right elbow hurts every time I lift or pull something (doesn't matter how much weight). Also my elbow joint itself hurts when I'm lifting weights. I was told it could be tennis elbow (from doing the row machine) but it seems like to much pain for tennis elbow. This has been going on for about 45 days. I just don't want to have to stop going to the gym to repair the joint.  Any help would be great.

If it's tendonitis you might try wrapping an ace bandage around your forearm and elbow with a couple of ice packs underneath for about 20 or so minutes and then rub some icy hot on the area and wrap it back up with the ace bandage. The cold will help reduce the inflammation in the tendons and the heat will help with the blood flow in the area. Also take 400 mg of Ibuprofen for reducing inflammation.

I had tendonitis in my shoulder, which is kind of hard to wrap up in a bandage so the Dr. had me take a Styrofoam cup, fill it with water and stick it in the freezer until it was nice and frozen. The Styrofoam provides insulation so that you hold it and massage the area that's needed to be iced down. As the ice melts you just peel the Styrofoam down to more ice and keep going. The area needs to be iced down long enough where the skin becomes numb.

Or go see a Dr. and get some pain killers for it.
