I was sick all last week. I made it the first day for chest.. but I had even a hard time eating, let alone mustering up the strength to workout. Im feeling better now, finishing up some antibiotics now. Im going to take the week off to recover and start again fresh next monday back home with glenn and the guys.
Cheers for now

Tore the ol legs apart this morning. It was a nice workout. Finally didn’t see anything that really set me off. I do get a kick out of the guys that wear the skin tight under armor shirts that act like they are hard as nails. I chuckle inside.

I think I am going to have to invest in a belt. I got the depth I wanted, but was starting to feel uneasy in doing so. I didn’t pull anything, but it felt like I was teetering on the edge.

I wanted to scream afterwards. I skipped out on straight leg dead lifts. Someone else was using the rack, and I didn’t want to mess with setting up a squat rack. That, plus the fact I was having a hard time standing!! Until Thursday
Prost!

It really frustrates me when people use equipment to sit on when you yourself want to use said equipment. This same guy that does nothing but curls every Monday that I am there. Standing bar curls, and one armed DB curls… that’s all he does. Strange…. I felt good this morning. Really strong. Right now I feel like a diaper full of used Indian food.

I hate life. Not really, I just hate my lazy ass!! I studied all day yesterday, did pretty well on the test I think. Can’t complain. Got home, stayed up watching Airplane!! Great movie… Got in bed to late, little sore from the batting cages this past weekend when I woke up this morning, little tired from not sleeping enough… and Im pissed off at myself now. I didn’t go to the gym this morning. Today was legs, and I can still go after work if I want, so today might not be completely ruined. I am in need of major motivation right now. I am on the precipice of becoming what I want, strong, movitated, living a healthier lifestyle… I am unfortunately lazy sometimes. HELP!! Good grief…. I sound like a little sissy baby girl!! Anyway… im gonna go drink some coffee. To bad its not at my house, with a little bourbon in it!!
Cheers

Got up with a start this morning… even though it is Tuesday and I am posting this now. I had a great morning. Got some good sleep, which I have been missing thanks to school and studying. How on earth did I ever go to school from 8 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. It is beyond me.
Bench press HS 5 x 8 – I’m using the hammer strength exclusively now on bench and incline. It isolates much more of the chest, making me feel weaker, but we’ve discussed that before.
1 x 8 with 45’s
1 x 8 with 70’s
2 x 8 with 80’s ouchie
1 x 6 with 70’s failed on ol number six… toughy

1 x 8 with 50 blew a head gasket with this one

I got all the weight up… I was leaning back a little bit. I might need to go back down just a little to help with form… but right now I need to see some improvement.

6 with 40 Im liking these now. I can see improvement… its not a real difficult movement.
Isolation curls
I was hating life after these. Its such a mind screw with a 15 pound dumbbell. I reversed the sets though, and did it 10, 10, 15 instead of the other way around.
2 x 10 with 20
1 x 15 with 15 It was mighty tough mandinga!!! Week 5 marks today!

This morning I was running late. I hit the snooze a few times too many. I contemplated not going, but its easy when you can call yourself a fat loser enough that you can actually con yourself out of bed! I hauled azz up to the gym. It took a bit to get started, but all in all I felt pretty strong today. Might have been that heaping bowl of penne my lovely sandy made!!

warm up with bar, and 1 x 65
1 x 8 with 135
1 x 8 175

1 x 8 with 180
1 x 8 with 270
1 x 8 with 360

I love this machine. It is such an ego booster. You can push what looks like so much weight, but its easy. and it feels great. And when I say great, what I really mean is that Im suprised I didn't turn my rectum inside out.
Straight leg dead lift 3 x 8
did a warm up with the bar and 65 lbs.
1 x 8 with 90

felt a little tingle in the lower back so I went light with these.

1 x 8 with 110
1 x 8 with 120
1 x 8 with 130 oh sweet mommy

this morning was horrible. I felt just plain ol weak. I have had to make the jump permantly to the hammer strength machines. I dont' feel safe with the amount of weight I am starting to push. So Im having to get use to the isolation that the hammer strength machines provide, and I feel like Ive taken a giant step back. So heres what the program looked like this am. By the way, I was up at 5:15... it gave me a lot more time this morning. oddly enough.
Bench warmup 1x8 with bar, 1x90flat bench
1 x 135
1 x 180
hammer strength 3 x 180 these were rough, fatigued out the last set on 6
incline hammer strength
4 x 135
like I said, i feel like Ive taken a step back because I feel like Im using different parts of muscle. Is this right??
DB flys1 x 35
1 x 40
1 x 45
not too bad, felt stronger as the morning went on
standing curls
felt like a little sissy here
1x 12 with 50
1 x 10 with 60 (struggled on this one, so I went back to 50)
1 x 8 with 50
1 x 6 with 40 (crotch stain stole my bar)
1 x 6 with 70 everyone was working biceps today, so I figured Id give it a try. hard but not too bad
hammer curls
1 x 8 with 30
1 x 6 with 35
1 x 6 with 40
I was so glad to get out of the gym this morning. I had plenty of time and everything, I didn't feel rushed at all, but I felt soft, couldn't get motivated. I hope Im not already losing motivation. Any comments welcome.
