donjelqer76's 2014 progress

[donjelqer76]

I took about a 9 month break to work on some things and have finally found my way back here. Since I've undoubtedly lost my conditioning, it's time to get started back up nice and slowly. Hopefully within a few months I'll be back to my old routine and schedule!

I have a small airleak somewhere in my LG and it's driving me nuts. Nothing sucks more than trying to multitask while reaching down to give another pump every 20 seconds. Tonight I'm going to have to troubleshoot to see if I can isolate the leak to either the LG or the pump its self and track it down from there.

Edit:
got two extra hours of hanging in at 5 lbs (3 hours total)

I have a small puncture in my sleeve (i need to make another one). I use a silicone ring (part of another sleeve) to cover it and maintain the vacuum.

Good luck finding the leak.

[donjelqer76]

Traced the problem to the o-ring on the quick disconnect (the on on the male fitting at the pump side). I have to order another one, but for now i put some petroleum jelly on it and it seals nearly perfect now

I'll keep the sleeve in mind a well, that would be a tough one to find!

Welcome back DJ, glad to see your new log here. I enjoyed reading your other progress logs. Did you lose much gains with the 9 months off or did you retain them from prior cementing?

Good to see you back "hanging" around.

Thanks

Yeah, I've lost about 1/4" in both length and girth, but no big deal. Not bad for a 9 month break from it all
