Evolution

I just came back from the gym, and God it felt good to be back in there after a week long hiatus. I have to stop letting school and things (laziness) hold me back!! On the plus side my lifts were up a bit and, for the most-part, felt a bit easier to complete.

 I’ve decided/have to start going lighter on my military presse from now on; two or three weeks ago I was doing  the machine mil. press - 8 @220 x 5 sets- and could barely move my left arm for two days afterwards, and my fingers kept going numb for about a week after that, I’m not 100% sure if mil. presses were the cause, but thats what my body is telling me. Maybe I just did too much weight and pulled something? Today was the first day since then that I really put an effort in to the press (I was just went through the motions(90lbs) when I was hurting.) I’m not sure how to build my shoulders without going super heavy on mil. presses(?) I just did 8 @ 180 x 5 sets today, and I can feel it, but,it doesn’t hurt.

As always any opinions, and comments are more than welcome…..maybe one day I’ll actually get one? lol

Once again, I’ve been slacking in the gym this week. Actually, I haven’t even made it to the gym since monday. I’m feeling sick again, not sick enough to skip workouts, but, added with another one of those crunch weeks at school and two hours (travel time alone is an hour )gym time just isn’t doable. I feel like $#!t when I miss a couple workouts, especially now that I’m bulking, it turns to pure fat real quick. I’ll be back in there tomorrow, hopefully feeling a bit better by then and giving it 100%.   

That’s what my legs decided to say to me during a set of squats. And then I hit the floor. 

Thank god I was using an incline sled or I’d probably be in some serious pain right now.I’m also really glad there weren’t too many people around to laugh at me looking like a fool (picture a 190 lb. guy trapped between the shoulder harness and the foot plate.)

So apparently I get bored pretty easy. I’ve switched my workout regimen yet again (I’ve got a “change every two weeks” thing going on lately.) I didn’t feel I was getting the most of my workouts in my three day split, and so decided to try a 3 day a week 5×5 routine. My split is: 

Day 1: sqauts, d. lifts, calf press, leg extensions, preacher curls 

Day 2: Bench, mil press, iso rows, frech press, forearm curls 

I do cardio on day 2, and abs on day 1. I take friday and saturday off too catch up on school and spend time with the Fam., so I’ve been hitting the gym on sun, tues , and thurs. I’ve been doing good so far and am enjoying this routine alot more. My body has been responding really well to my bulking so far; I’ve put on about 6 lbs. in the last 4 weeks and less than half an inch on my waist, I feel alot thicker through my shoulders and chest.  

I’ll try and post progress pics soon
