Ouch, hope you heal up quickly! Mine were impacted and it took me a few weeks to feel normal--Hopefully that's not the case with you!

Haven't done any exercising lately... It snowed, so I can't bike. It's been cold again, so I've been too lazy to go for a walk. :-/
 
2 miles on treadmill
5x8-12 seated lat rows
5x8-12 seated lat pull downs
4x15 torso twist machine
5x15 ab crunch machine

feels good :)
 
9.5 hours of carrying 50 pound bus-tubs... Since I stopped running and started lifting, my body composition has been transformed (for the better), but I feel worse (slightly strung out, constantly sore, etc...)

tell me more about suspension training
Click to expand...

Well here is the official website, at the place I go to, there are 8 of those set up and we do a series of exercises on them - I enjoy push ups using them but planks are a bitch (it is good for the core I keep telling myself). There are a number of you tube videos out there too - just search for TRX suspension training.

Today was Muay Thai session followed by over an hour of cycling - I need to return to more cardio :\ Plus it was the national champs on the weekend and I do miss tris. My goal to compete in another iron man is delayed until 2012 now :(
 
45 minutes (legs/forearms)

forearm wrist curls (palms up & palms down) 5 sets x 15 reps
squats 5 sets x 5-6 reps
lunges 5 sets x 5 reps
toe stands 5 sets x 10-12 reps


feeling pretty awesome... three years ago i was posting a list of drugs i consumed in the past 24 hours in those threads in the OD forum (probably something like this):

cannabis
cocaine
heroin
oxy- IV
valium & xanax
restoril & ambien & sonata

and now i'm posting which muscle groups i'm targeting during my daily exercises...crazy how life changes...
 
EOJ im in the same boat

been clean for 2 months almost (besides alcohol about twice a week, and some light benzos at the beginning)

been at the gym 4-5x a week since. dropped from 205-148 lbs over the last 1.5 year due to being a fucking strung out junkie

today: chest/tris
3x8 flat db press
3x8 incline db press
3x8 flat champagnes
dips dips dips
tri rope pulldowns 3x12
...ran out of time had to leave but still got a great workout in

i cannot gain weight. i was going 3 days without eating at times while using, im having a hard time putting on more than a pound a week. now tho, i look fucking great. my chest and arms and shoulders have blown the fuck up. i slack on protein and maybe get 100g a day if im lucky. im getting a lot stronger. i gained 40 lbs in 4 months last time i was in rehab. went from benching 115x1 to 235x2 over that time, heavy squats n shit. im too scared to get on the bench now cuz im working out with my tiny gf and she cant spot me so i just use dbs
 
over the week il do 90 mins mauy thai 2 hours mma and 6 hours heavy lifting in the gym based round heavy free wieghts like squats deads and presses
im arount 6 ft @220lb 10% body fat .
 
I am currently doing the 'Insanity' program

Been through Army basic training, love to run, gym rat, etc
I can assure you this is the greatest program ever
First time I have ever bought an infomercial or even home dvd for that matter

Im only 3 weeks into the 2 month program and I have never felt this good

today Ill be doing pure cardio and cardio abs
basically , after the 9 minute warm up ( this will have you fully sweating and heart rate at %80 ) then stretc - you will do 15 minutes of pure hell but nothing too difficult

another thing I really like is it is only 30-40 minutes each workout

if you can afford it and truly want to test yourself like never before, this is it
Note: I was in pretty good shape prior and have lost 6 lbs. in 3 weeks
 
Did an amazing run yesterday... ran to JHU without stretching, but felt great. Sprinted the fuck out of the stairs on both sides, then did it again, then basically sprinted home.

This tapering shit really works, even though I'm not really training for anything. Perhaps I should...?
 
Four mile bike ride. Shorter than most bike rides I do, but I'm trying to focus more on using higher gears than on distances. Didn't drop below gear 6 except for once (only went to 4) on a steep hill. :)
 
Another great run after working 10 hours, even. Did some random shit with the 75 pound barbell... think I'm going to share a gym membership with my roommate, now that I've got a legit job with some hours. Gonna get back into the best shape of my life.
 
Yesterday:
- 1 hour on the stationary bike levels ranging from 7-10

Today:
- 45 minutes on the stationary bike levels ranging from 8-12
- 15 minutes on the elliptical level 8

I definitely need to start getting my weights in too.

Thanks. It hasn't been too bad. Two of mine were impacted (both on the same side) so that side of my mouth is still healing. I keep forgetting to chew on the left side of my jaw. :o
