Week in Review
So asalwaysIamlacking on the whole "blogging" thing, so I figured I would updatre some stuff. First of all let me say that Ihave been bustin my ass as much as possible in and out of the gym. My training is revolved around a mix of sets and rep schemes. I usually have a couple sets of 5 and then a few sets of 3 per workout. Rep range will also very between high and mid range to get the muscles pumped and always guessing. Now my diet has also been pretty good to awesome. I am keepin my protien high and my carbs low, well that is until dinner at my moms on Thursdays…but what can ya do right…after all you dont wanna make mama mad. cardio has been pretty good as well, although I feel I could probably push myself harder on it. the problem I do have is ABS…Iam so lost when it comes to them. Not sure which way to go or ewven the set/reps needed…Any help would be a plus.
Besides that all else is good for the most part. The wife and me have been trying to get along more and are okay at the time being. That being said, last night was a disaster…Allow me to explain…
First off, my wife and I have had planned to go to this resteraunt called the FlatTop Grill for Valentines Day, since I have never been there. So after I got home from work and got cleaned up we left. Now it takes about a half hour to get there from our house so we listen to music and talk and what not. We get to the placew and the parking lot is jammed packed with all sorts of people and "A" holes… We drive around for oh I dont know another half hour finding a damn parkin space. After we finally get parked we walk up to the resteraunt, now its only about 530 now, as we walk through the door we over heard the hostess say that they were all full until 10. UGH…WTF. So we calm down and go across the lot to a Logans Steakhouse, with the same results, now I’m getting frustrated. So once again we walk across the lot to an O’charlies…..and can you guess it, yup they were no better. After that we decide to give up here and leave. Now my wife offered for us to drive back home and order a Pizza, whish we decided was a wasted trip and time. So after we talked over options we decided to go where our first date was….a Chinese Buffet. Now the healthiest but it was a good time. We sat there ate and people watched the time we were there. Now if you haven’t ever watched people, you gotta…it is wicked fun. After that we went to WalMart and bought Max Payne, then home. We watched the movie and were in bed by 915…Minds out of the gutters people, we actually just went to sleep….boring, but true.
So there you go, I am at work now and hoping tonight to get the steak I was craving last night….Back at the gym tomorrow and will report more when I can. I also will try and post some progress pics, the only computer I have right now is here at work and they banned the use of portable devices…Gotta Big Brother……Have a great week and saty Tuff

Sorry to hear about your fiasco for dinner. I was craving PF Changs and the wait was 1 1/2 hrs, so went across the parking lot and got the Greenery Marketplace which was a better coice after all because I had chicken breast spinach salad. For abs, that one is tricky but work them as any other bodypart. Some people work them out every day, others every other and others times a week. You need to find what works for you but I really believe that abs is more than 90% diet because you work them in the majority of the other workouts you do for other bodyparts. Quality is better than quantity and you must work every angle (upper, lower and obliques). I think that the numbers of reps in a set are not important….the most important fact is when they start burning…then, start counting. (-: Hope that helps. Lower your fat intake fot those abs to show. Use a thermo if needed.
