8/23 new gym
warmed up hamstrings, then
deadlifts 3 x 8 @ 135, 225, 315 1 @ 335, 1 almost @ 345 (hamstring issue halfway up stopped me)
hyperextensions about 50 (helped hamstring somewhat)
dumbbell hammer curls across chest 3 x 10 w/30s 35s, 40s
walked a bit, drive to office didn’t help
Hamstring felt like it was wrestling with another tenon. Strange. Aches now, a lot.
Hammies are the worst. Just baby it a while.

This thing feels terminal. Glad to know babying it will work.

8/24 old gym
Hamstring feels infinitely better, I’m being very careful.
bench press machine 3 x 8 @ up to 180
cable flyes 3 x 10 up to about 150
triceps machine 3 x 8 @ 90, 90, 95
OG, couldn’t find any convenient ice yesterday, but lying down helped a lot. Will start doing lying leg curls again to strengthen hammies.

Hamstring feels pretty good finally. Walking normally but I’ve got a good sized hematoma on back of leg just above knee. Few more days’ rest.

8/30 still no gym
10 pullups in garage. Hematoma shrinking, occasional funny twinges.
sound like you are closing in on a gym return!..
You’re doing it right, by taking it slow.

8/31 gym resumes next week.
Crippler posting 7 handstand pushups motivated me to do 10 this morning.

Impressive handstands. I’ll add them to the things I need to do. Glad the hamstring is feeling better.
It took me a while to be a handstand believer, but I’m in now.

Still reveling in first line. Will probably up Louisiana’s GNP.

10 rack pulls @275 sounds like some serious strength in the posterior chain to me…
