Jer39’s BodyBlog

I’m out here on the boat right now and conectivity being what it is it’s hard to get on the site let alone blog but today I was able to get on.  Workouts have been going good, diet not so much, but I’m trying to make due with what is available!  Been staying the same course workout wise as my most recent blogs though I’ve taperd my leg workouts down because a. there is limited equipment and b. I’m trying to heal up this groin pull i’ve been fighting the last couple of months.   But everything is on track and my body feels pretty good!!  Hope everyone is doing good and I look forward to getting home here real soon and getting active again on this site!  HAPPY LIFTING to all!

Well it started good but ended bad….I’ve been fighting a groin pull for the last couple of months so I was happy because I was able to put a decent load on the sled for leg presses but as I was going through my routine I started getting back spasms really bad and had to cut it short becasue I could hardly stand up straight or anything else for that matter.  I did some back stretches and got my back to pop in a couple of places so that took some pressure off and I’m feeling good today so we’ll see….here’s what I got in…

Well this is the first blog I have written in a long time but rest assured I’ve been sticking with the routines!!  Michelle and I have been doing the "rock hard challenge" that M&F has been running.  We’re not competing in the challenge it’s self but have been doing the workouts and they have been brutal but good!  I’m finally starting to see some pec and bi growth after trying so many different things so I am excited about that.  The cut side of things has been lacking, I’ve been on det’s and living in barracks since the begining of June so it is very hard to eat clean like I need too.  This will be the norm for me until the end of Nov when I retire and go home.  So for now the goal is to keep building size and strength while eating as good as I can then once I get home for good then I’ll see if I can cut it up right.  Tonight is shoulders and tomorrow is back/bi’s and I will try my best to blog my workouts regularly again!  hope everyone has been having a healthy and happy summer!!!

Did a double….in the am I did a kick boxing class for work, didn’t get a lot out of it becasue I half assed it to save myself for the pm session which is part of my regular routine.  For that I did 45 min on the elpitical machine I was happy with this becasue I usualy maintain a high 140’s heart rate no matter what I set the machine on but this time It maintained between 128-130 so I hoping that’s a sign that my blood pressure is starting to lower…..
