I had decided to spend this and next month doing 15RMs.  However that didn’t last very long because I love to lift heavy ass weight.   This week I decided to try for my regular lifts and just attempt to make my rep requirements with those weights.  I knew that wasn’t gonna happen but figured I come close.   Yesterday was chest and back.  I was putting up good numbers but I was ready to die after the 3rd exercise/ superset.  Started with incline bench with wide grip pulldowns, pushing 225 for 10, 8, 6 and pulling 150 for 15.  Then flat bench with t-bar rows pushing 225 for 12 and pulling 180 for 15, then I uped the bench to 315 and only got 2 (disapointing, I was hoping for at least 5).  By time I got to decline with bent over barbell rows I was completely wiped after the 1st set.  I forced out 2 more sets and called it a day.

So today came and its the dreaded leg day.  Started with squats superset with stiff leg deadlifts.  I felt good plus I had gotten some knee wraps.  I wrapped up and through 6 45s on the bar.  Banged it out like it was nothing.  I was like damn I don’t normally squat heavy so I was supirsed.  I then went for 8 45s.  I’m thinking 405 gotta be hell but it wasn’t.  The knee wraps worked wonders.  I didn’t feel it in my knee at all and I got to go heavy.  I followed that up with hack squating 16 45s for 15reps…that was tough.  And finished up with leg pressing 10 45s.  After the hack squat I was out of energy so I figured I’d finish light.

My physique is coming along lovely.  Can’t wait for 2moros shoulders and arm bout.

I finally reached my weight goal of 200lbs…now I just need to stay here and keep improving.

My upper back, calves and abs need quite a bit of work so if anyone has any tips on bringing those up give me shout….thanks

Been Playing with my workouts lately trying to figure out what my body likes.  Todays leg workout was brutal.  There were 7 of us working out together.  To compensate for the slow pace I decided to make us do giant sets.  The 1st exercise was front squat/ box squat/ seated calf raise.  Followed by Hack squat/ Leg Press/ Leg Press Calf Raises/ Seated Calf Raise/ Standing Calf Raise.  And finally Lying Leg Curl/ Seated Leg Curl/ Leg Extension.  My legs were so pumped I could hardly move.  One of the best leg workouts I’ve had in a while.  Tomorow is Chest day, everything is super seted with hanging knee raises.  If everyone decides to show up to workout with me tomorow again it’ll be another painful giant set workout.  Can’t wait to see what happens.

I have so much to be thankful for.  Got my own website www.avadean.com.  I must say the website turned out better than I could’ve hoped for thanks to Paul Rienzo.  My weak points are slowly being ironed out.  I’m still alive and kicking.
I’ve remained injury free, which is a major one.  Especially considering how hard I push myself.  My workouts are no joke.  I’ve pushed myself so hard that I cried during a workout.  I remember the 1st time I loaded up the leg press with 26 plates.  My legs wouldn’t stop shaking, I was so scared.  Everyone in the gym stoped what they were doing to see if I could really do it.  I got out 3 reps and it felt great.  Recently I deadlifted 405lbs.  That was the absolute best.  I love deadlifts (not quite sure why).  Its definately my favorite exersize and to get 405 up means I’m 1 step closer.  My goal is to be able to deadlift 495lbs before years end.  Regular squats are the worste thing in the world.  Man when I squated 315 and went down it was hell to get back up.  I have so much respect for people who push their limitations.  Its not about numbers even though some people are married to numbers.  Its about being able to lift the heaviest weight that you can handle at the time.  Without letting fear keep you from progressing.
When I got into this sport I made a scilent vow to myself.  I would push myself as hard as I can.  I also told my body it wouldn’t break because it can handle it.

Rest days are the absolute worste for me.  All they do is build up more anxitey.  Right now I can’t wait to bomb legs tomorrow.  My body do need and apriciate the rest.  However my brain hates it.  There’s nothing like lifting some heavy ass weight.  Training for me comes easy and I love pushing myself to my limits.  Especially when I have a training partner.

I also can’t decide weather or not to do the November 8th INBF show.  A part of me knows I need to take the rest of the year off to build up as much muscle as posible for next year.  There’s also a part of me that knows if I enter as a novice I’m comming home with a gold trophy.  I’m in a delima.

In life you have 3 choices a)be good b)get good c)give up
I’ve chosen to get good at everything I do.  I refuse to give up.  I love bodybuilding and its something I plan on doing my whole life.  There is no garantee that I’ll make it but I’d rather die doing something I love than live a misarable life.  It is a fact that natrual bodybuilders don’t get the big contracts and respect they deserve.  However I do believe in my heart that I will be the one to change that.  This is my destiny.  God has guided me every step of the way.  It didn’t happen by accident.  As I look back I realize that everything in my life happened for a reason.  Just peaces to the puzzle.  From one transition to the next.  As one chapter ends there begins a new.  I do have a back up plan.  As soon as I can I’m going to go back to school to study to become a nutritionist.  I love my job as a personal trainer, it gives me great pleasure in helping others acheive there goals.  I will never for get those who helped me along the way.  In my heart they will always stay.
