And speaking of scrogs: I just got back from Fred Meyer's with some much needed food (haven't eaten in almost 3 days), and some gardening fence to make a proper screen for my scrogification.
And the cat's are bugging me for chow.
So time to eat something & then feed the monkey cats (well, I'll feed them first, then I'll see about stuffing my pie-hole).

OH!
And after we are back into a house (end of the year-ish), one house warming gift I'm going to get myself is a weight bench, dumbells, and will be installing a bar hanging from the rafters (all will be in my half of the garage) for pull-ups.
My back problem isn't fully sorted out, and it won't be until I can stress the muscles that support it so they get stronger.
I'd love to get back up to even just 180-lbs during 2014. If it works out, I might even go for more.
(and will be getting a speed bag & heavy bag)

Those two made me laugh SO hard!
Genius stuff!
I love Freddy's, too.
I rarely go to Wally World. Employees should not be treated the way Wally treats their workers.

Cool!
The wife was the first one to mention getting set up again with a weight system after we get re-house-ified.
Will have to renew my GNC Gold Club membership when I get back into it.
It will take a while before my weak spots catch up, but I love the endorphine/dopamine rush of working out & hard physical training/exertions.
Been too long.

I am doing my incline db presses 1st today then flat since my chest is sagging somewhat from non use.
I cant believe most of the muscle is gone!!
I thought only roids muscle went away from non-use??

muscle memory will kick in and you will gain it back fast. I know it sounds fake, or crazy but its real. Once you were big its easy to get big again. Google it.

It all atrophies from non-use (I'm a prime example 
).
But muscle memory will help it build back up provided our bodies are still producing HGH, testosterone, etc.
I bulk up pretty quick when I work at it, I'm sure you will, too.
Unless age betrays us.

I used to w/o for hrs and hrs..just m=needed 3-4 minutes rest between the HEAVY sets.
I am lifting 55lb dbs right now, and 5th set I am shaking and reps fell to 17.
I think my Test levels are wayyyy down!
I asked Dr 2 weeks back actually about the andro patch 1.62% crap or whatever.
He is like, what you are diagnosing yourself now?
I really feel lethargic and have no endurance.
I used to think about weights in my sleep, now I can't keep myself in the damn garage!
I am going to try to do at least 2 more sets

My soon-to-be screen:
(*the low-end camera makes everything look wonky. The corners are square & even in reality)
And the little ones soaking up the rays:
(will be up-canning them today sometime after I eat and get the screen made)

I need to get my grow organized... a screen or some vertical thing would be optimal!
I am thinking about a top-feed tray setup, I wonder could I incorporate some vertical type grow into that?
Got another set in, and got 20 reps with my shaking arms lol.

It's going to be real tough to get back into the groove as we age.
I'll be pushing it too, but will be starting out with lighter weights until the muscles have woken up.
Once our bodies know they're being worked, they should respond and get stronger over time.
Our brains remember the muscles like it was yesterday, but our body's metabolisms are slowed to a crawl until prodded and pushed.
The trick is to build up to it to get the metabolism running like it should and not have too high of expectations until we're running on all cylinders again.
It's a lot easier to do when you're a skinny fart like me, though: I have no expectations except to suck at it for a month or two.

Yeah Doob I am unrealistic.
I still weigh 213 so I expect to still hit close to the same weight.
I hope metabolism is just slow and the test isnt low and will boost back up if in fact it is.
I know squats and leg press lunges etc...is where the GH production gets most stimulation.
I am afraid to do it after last time though
I was only lifting the bar for sets of 20 (squats) and suddenly I was seeing starts and like collapsed.
I had vertigo for the rest of the day.
I get vertigo sometimes and dont know why..Drs are no help, except to give me some sea sick pills or something.
Ok well that is 7 sets if you count the 25 lbers warm up set.
I was gonna do one more, but Ill just save that for tomorrows back session

Here's some good info on it:
"The bright spots (sometimes called "stars", as in "seeing stars") are the result of synaptic misfires in the optical region of you brain.
They occur in the event of a cranial trauma (a hit on the head), or when there is insufficient fuel to keep all the nerves working (low blood sugar), or when available oxygen is inadequate [fuel plus oxygen runs cars, and fuel plus oxygen runs brains. A shortage of either causes mis-fires].
Dizziness is a result of brain starvation also (sugar or oxygen).
If you tip upside down, the "rush to your head" is actually deprivation as your body closes the arteries leading to your brain.
Too much blood never makes you dizzy; too little does.
You do not describe a cranial trauma, so you are either exercising without providing enough fuel or your exercise is exceeding your cardio-pulminary capacity. This latter situation is alarming only if your exercise regimen is inconsistent with your age and state of fitness.
In a worst case scenario, you have a cardio problem.
More likely, your recent exercise exceeds the conditioning of your most recent lifestyle.
Even very young, fit people "see stars" whenever they push themselves too hard.
High school football players pass out on the training field.
You did not state your age or whether you are an at-risk individual (like a smoker, or a diabetic).
So, it is possible you have a blood sugar control problem. It is also possible you have a coronary problem. It is most likely that you are pushing yourself too hard.
Checking for sugar problems and cardio problems is not major, so I suggest you do it. We can all hope that you are just pushing your work out too hard, but the alternatives are a bit scary.
In any event, see a doctor."
Who's got two thumbs and pushes it too far?
