T thanks :) i just hate taking antibiotics, they always make me feel lousy :(

[drew]

I don't take drugs (just weed). Up wit hope, down wit dope!

Sure you'll be feeling right as rain in no time. WOO!

[MJS]

T thanks :) i just hate taking antibiotics, they always make me feel lousy :(

Why can't you ingest dairy, Sylvia? My GP has told me on prior antibotic runs to make sure that I ingest some yougurt or another form of healthy bacteria. Antibotics kill some of the good with the bad.

[getfit]

drew -thanks:)

MJS-unfortunently, i can't take any dairy with the antibiotics prescribed "tetracycline"

Not really a big deal, just normally helps. Wash with salt water or listerine at night if you have the infection in your gums. I had dry socket when I had my wisdom teeth extracted - I know the discomfort. Feel better soon. :thumbup:

Hey, what's the weather usually like? Does it rain much in April?

monkey bars/chinups/climbing/jumps,they have a ramp for skateboarding so i attempted with my blades i got a little scared i'd fly off !so just got off that and took a few spins around the park

[Focused70]

you're brave, lol.

I don't know how to rollerblade. :(

though a month ago I met someone who lives in Madrid (he has a pied-a-terre in NYC and flies here frequently), and rode a motorcycle for the first time in my life. after the third time, well...let's just say that I'm not as scared now as I was the first time. we were flying through the streets of New York and I was thinking, holy ****. well, if I go, at least it was a thrill.

yes, I was wearing a helmet.

[Anthony]

getfit the xtreme skater .......!!!!!

[getfit]

Stash- it's so much fun and i like speed ;) i also ride bikes :D

Anthony- ;)

[Kiaran]

I see, making good use out of the children's toys. Did you let any of the kids work-in during the chins? :D And skating off of ramps? Didn't you just take a spill last week?

[getfit]

No Kiaran :D i tried to skate of the ramp but i got a little scared, a little spill doesn't stop me ;)

[TTT]

You can just picture some kid writing in a blog somewhere on the net: "Today, me and Jeremy went too the playground. It waz fun. Their were lots of poeple. There waz a weerd lady swinging on the bars. She waz verry fit. She had roler bladez. "

I thought strength goes through the roof? :scratch: I guess off the roof works too. :thumbup:

Looks strong to me. Have you ever done heavy deads(either conventional or sumo) and if so what do you think you could pull?

[getfit]

Chris that's what i meant really, if you stick around you'll get used to the way i type and express myself ;)


Haven't done conventtional in ages i think i pulled 175 awhile back, i should start up again and get of my lazy ass! :D

[getfit]

if i stayed more focused on deads i'm sure my numbers would be soaring

[Chris Rodgers]

Well, 155 for 3 sets of 5 SLDL is very impressive. I'm sure with a few weeks to get the proper technique back, you could pull something nasty(wouldn't it be nice to put 2 plates on the bar and just own it?)

You should aim higher than that, IMO.
You're already hitting 165x5, so hitting 200 for a single shouldn't be too far off.

With some coaching and focused PL-style training I betcha you could hit 315 for a single before the end of the year.

[mrelwooddowd]

**** 315! 405!!

*goes back to his own journal, where 225 is the best that's shown up*

[getfit]

Risk-it was, plus i get bored of being in the gym all the time :p

Tony-felt awesome, heavy, but not that bad i shall go higher!

Scott-you think? i would like that more then anything else :)

Pat-i'll wait for you before i hit 315 ever, you go first ;) then i'll follow:D

SUNDAY 14th of MAY
CHINS
5x5


Very impressive. How long did you rest between sets?

[getfit]

Tim-Aris-thanks guys, rest day today

Neil-about a minute, a little less

[getfit]

a watched the film "human trafficking" last night very disturbing

[Neil]

Neil-about a minute, a little less

Even more impressive. I tried a 5x5 on chins with a minute rest a while back and couldn't get 5 on my last set:bow:

[getfit]

Neil-trust me, it took alot of practice.Squats and chinups has to be my favorite to do, and i do them often :D

[getfit]

i'm not in the best of shape lately, been suffering with allergies that became even worse these last couple of days. Trained my mom together with Joy and i did a little work nothing special to report.I think i really need to rest this one out,probably pushed myself to much.

[Progress]

What are you taking for the allergies, getfit?

[getfit]

benadryl, which seems to be doing nothing at all :(

[drew]

Get some Claritin!

[mrelwooddowd]

I dunno about Canada, but the pollen here is INSANE right now. I'm hacking and coughing and sneezing, and I'm REALLY not one to have allergies. My car looks like someone let mustard dry on it..lol

[Sidior]

benadryl, which seems to be doing nothing at all :(

If it is just allergies go with claritin as drew mentioned, but if you are seriously congested as well try allegra-D, it works wonders for me.

[getfit]

thanks guys :)

Sidior-i have that as well, that one helped a little, it's just really bad this time for me.I've lost so much weight this week, i could hardly swallow :(

[getfit]

I dunno about Canada, but the pollen here is INSANE right now. I'm hacking and coughing and sneezing, and I'm REALLY not one to have allergies. My car looks like someone let mustard dry on it..lol
Pat, it's crazy here as well,as soon i walk out the door my eyes puff up and all

[getfit]

Well, i was on my way to work this morning and clearly had to turn around and come back home.I'm feeling like crap,dizzy,weak, and all the crappy things you feel when you're sick.Meh, rest that is all

[Progress]

benadryl, which seems to be doing nothing at all :(

Take something different. Claritin D for OTC. If you go to the doc, try Singulair combined with a decongestant.

[getfit]

Progress thanks, it's clearly gone beyond allergy symptoms,i'm seeing my doc this afternoon

[Anthony]

Get well soon, Sylvia.

[getfit]

thank you Anthony :)

[Guido]

Getting sick is poopy. :(

[getfit]

it is guido, i'm sticking to some old remedies to get better,boil garlic with ginger,lot's of liquids and rest all wknd

[drew]

I'm coming up to take care of you.

The good news is, you'll feel much better.

The bad news is, you won't want to get out of bed. ;)

[getfit]

LOL drew, well i haven't felt this way in years, so it sucks big time, doing a little better today,still can't down food and weight is low and i hate feeling skinny :(

[Built]

Ooooh, Sylvia. Bleah. I'm so sorry.

Who did this to you? Who DARED to infect you?
