would be better than nothing i guess.

What's up dude? Did you give up training and started eating cake all the time?

sorry dude, didn't see that you posted here!

@bronco: thx!

short info on my current training:

can't do deads and squats at the moment so i switched to a push/pull workout again. doing most exercises PITT-Force style except for bench press. hurt my knee a little while ago and can't train legs at all since then. the little bit of training i can do at the moment is going pretty well actually. after a pause i worked up to a new rep-pb on the bench and other than that i'm doing weighted dips with 20kg now, which is pretty good for me i think.

Getting all my required amino acids from an abundance of fruits and vegetables, [...]

started light yesterday but felt pain in my back again. i googled a bit and think i know pretty much what it is but not what i can do about it so i guess i'll see a doctor soon. i won't stop training but will do lighter weights..

it's awesome!

i'll be aback in training on monday. i feel much better now since my back doesn't hurt anymore and the sickness is over, too.

good idea.

dude! our arms are about the same size but your legs are almost 20cm bigger than mine!

i'll order the same one soon.

what are those measurements in cm? i really don't get the inch/feet/whatever stuff. makes absolutely no sense to me.

thanks.

don't know exactly. my back started to hurt a bit a week ago or so but it got better after every training and was almost gone last thursday. on thursday i was already sick but decided to go to the gym anyway. afterwards my back started to hurt really bad and of course i got sicker, too. seems like it was a pretty stupid decision to go training while being sick.

can't train at the moment cause i'm sick and hurt my back. i don't know when i'll be able to get back to the gym again.

dude i can't say anything cause i'm too jealous right now.

i'm actually satisfied with today's work out. i managed to let the lat work more at the bench press but therefore the pull-ups were a bit weaker than last weak.

awful work out on thursday and no time at all on saturday.

Did you buy the old 7mm or the new grey 3mm Rehbands?

i'm actually not sure but i guess mine are the new ones. what's the difference? beside from the obvious 4mm difference of course. are the old ones better cause they're thicker and therefore more supportive?

can't wait until next month. i want to order one of those powerlifting belts, great stuff!

i bought the rehbands weeks ago and they're great.

they used to be tighter in the beginning but began to feel more comfortable the more often i wore them. of course they're still tight but i got used to it.

but i think yours are a bit tighter than the rehband ones anyway. i guess they're kind of a middle thing between knee wraps and sleeves and so that's the way they are supposed to feel.

i think as long you're able to walk properly with them there's no reason to go for larger ones.

the squats almost killed me. i almost felt like i was going to pass out. but i decided to pull through the rest of the work out and think i managed it pretty well, especially the pull-ups.

nice!

looking great!

we all make stupid mistakes like that from time to time. don't worry too much and get well soon!

btw: did you post pics on here anywhere?

that's exactly what i meant to say.

this probably won't happen until you start to answer her messages/comments on facebook. she said you never write her back.
