So i've been sitting on my butt for 2 months now and finally recuperating from my pinched nerve in my neck.  The pain in my elbow and shoulder is gone.  Still have numbness in the fingertips and tingling sensations in the arm.  I hit the bike 3 times last week to test it out.  All went well.  I think I'm ready to start the weights again...That's the good news.  The bad news...I up to 238.  This sucks.  I could have eaten better but I just wasn't there.  Now it's time to suck it up, get my eating right and pound it out folks!!!! 

got my morning walk at the gym followed up with 15 mins in the steam sauna.

hit the gym 3 hrs later for my workout...

decline smith machine: 6 reps x 2 plates (each side), 5 x 3 plates, 5 x 3 plates, 5 x 4 plates, 1 x 4 plates and a 25

flat db bench press: 6 x 80lb, 5 x 80lb, 5 x 100lb, 5 x 110lb, 5 x 120lb

incline flys: 6 x 55lb, 5 x 65lb, 5 x 65lb, 5 x 80lb, 5 x 80lb

3 more weeks of lifting heavy and then back to cutting again.

had a realization the other day that i'm eating too much sugar. i always thought the fruit i've been eating was much better than my fast food or other crap but now i'm at the point where i'm getting this last 20 lbs off because i need to take my nutrition to the next level.

so i'm revamping and adding in my veggies and removing the fruit...gonna try the fruit right after my workouts with my protein and limit my fruit/sugar intake to that. let's see what happens.

Another leg day in the books.  Seems like everyone in the gym was doing legs. 

Hack Squats:  4 plates x 8, 6 plates x 6, 8 plates x 5, 10 plates x 5, 12 plates x 5, 14 x plates 3

Standing Calf Raises:  90 lbs x 12, 110 x 8, 120 x 5, 130 x 5, 140 x 5, 150 x 5, 160 x 5, 170 x 5, 180 x 5, 190 x 5, 200 x 5, 210 x 5, 220 x 5, 230 x 5

Walking Lunges (8 steps each leg):  25 dbs, 25 dbs, 40 dbs, 50 dbs, 60 dbs

Man, hitting the 60 lb dbs on the walking lunges was brutal.  Might take me 2 weeks to recover from this one. 

Wrapped it up with 20 mins in sauna. 

legs are killing me...haha, i love it.  wrapped up my leg workout yesterday with walking lunges with the 55lb dbs.  that felt good.   i went in this morning to get some walking in trying to pump some blood through.  went home for a nap.  barely could get up afterwards.  my legs almost talked me out of my workout today, but i decided to just get there and see what happens.  jumped on the bike for 5 mins and the legs woke up.  so i pounded out the chest.  45, 50, 55, 60, 65 x 6 flat flys, 75, 80, 85, 90, 100 x 6 db incline press, 225, 315, 315, 315, 315 x 6 decline press.  walked on the treadmill for 10 mins and then hit the dry sauna for a 15.  made it home for my protein shake.  gotta go grocery shopping but i can't make it off the couch yet.  i got one more and costco closes...wish me luck.  haha

my work schedule still sucks haven't seen the sun since sunday...seriously  i work i in a bat cave.  at least i made it to the gym again and hit the arms.  bi's are still pumped up.  hit 150 on my tricep cable overhead extensions.  be back to 200 in no time!!  gonna pound through today quick, that way i have some serious time for a serious leg workout.  nothing like checking out someone elses workout on here to get you pump up to do some serious damage...who's ready to crawl out the gym tonight!!

Living by some too short words suckas!!  Man, working 14 hr days for the past 2 weeks but i'm still finding time to fit my workouts into my schedule.  keep pounding it!!

nope, but there's one in colorado!!!!!!!!!   tearing it up people...120's 2 x 13 on flat bench, 455 x 5 on decline bench.  that's the good stuff right there.  gonna have to find another 24hr in town that has 130's and 140's.  off to morning cardio.  have a great day everyone!!!

I'M A BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   That's right people.  Getting it down, pounding it out, suck it, cause there aint room for 2 beasts up in this mother!!!!!!  

Ok, now that that's over with, I had a great workout.  80lb incline flyes (gonna jump to 90's next week), 120lbs x 6, 8 on flat press, 405 x 4, 3 on declines, 120 x 6, 5 on cable crossovers 

I feel like I could bust straight through a concrete wall right now!!!!!   No silly rabbit, concrete walls are for kids!!

man i work with some children.  freaking idiots sometimes.  had to shove a guy today...good thing i didn't hit him.  anyways great fuel for my fire tonight at the gym.

raises raises and more raises then shrugs shrugs and more shrugs upto 500lbs then threw in 2 - 10 x 80 and 2 - 8 x 100 dumbell presses for fun

on a side note, i was doing some lateral raises and smashed my thumb with the 40lb dumbell.  didn't drop the weight at all which means my grip is getting stronger.  something i've been working on

keep pounding!!

i'm in the gym fooooooool!!!!!  ok getting ready for the A-Team next friday, oh yeah!!!    

legs today...leg day is the absolute worse.  i dread it all day long.  its not that i don't enjoy leg day, i do.  i just know its gonna be a fight.  who's gonna be better today...the weight or me.  every other bodypart is gravy, like i was meant to be a beast...but legs, i have to dig deep, gotta want it, light weight - big muscles type attitude.  now that fight, i'm ready for!!!

here's the highlights:  (for all you suckas out there, no, this is not all i did you moron)

 leg extensions: 2 - 8 x 225

incline leg press:  4 x 14 plates a side (yes that means 28 plates and no, a plate is 45 lbs)

walking lunges:  3 - 20 x w/ 40lb dumbells

feet together squats: 6 x 315  (man, that one burned threw my butthole)

topped it off with some "don't stop till they pop" calf raises - feel free to use my line!!

Man been sick since thursday.  finally feeling better today.  wanna hit the gym, but i'll wait until tomorrow.  make sure i'm all good before i go pound it out. 

peace out

man definitely know i'm tired when i feel like i'm grinding through my chest and bicep workout.  had to power through it.  see yourself lift it and then just do it.  thats what i did and thats what happened.  even lasted 30 mins of jogging at 4.8 mph avg.  see ya next time suckas!!!!!!

 

so i headed to the mountains again last weekend...made it 2 miles at +10,000 ft elev in about 45 mins.  (sadly enough, thats great timing for me)  the first 10 steps were the worse but i powered through it...good stuff people.

 

 peace

man, just feel like i'm tearing it up in the gym!!  made it through the legs and shoulders on friday, abs on saturday, back and tris yesterday and chest and biceps today...finally having enough energy to run through these supersets and go up in weights now, cardio is still intense with only 60-90 second rest periods between supersets...

tearing it up peeps

peace out
