I’m BAAAAAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!!
Damn it feels good to get back in the game!!! After over a month of not hitting the gym, it’s time to come back and make up for lost progress. I’ve missed all of this, no thanks to work and other things… I’ve had lots of time to think about it all, but I can’t stands no more. There’s so much to say, hopefully I won’t forget, and if I do, it’ll just have to be included in the next BodyBlog.
Where to start? I guess I’ll start with the new split plan for the next month or so (until I’m back at school). Since I can only afford to get in probably 3 gym sessions per week for the next few weeks (with the exception of this week where I only have two 
) The plit will have to be something like this
Day 1: Chest, Delts, Triceps
Day 2: Legs, abs
Day 3: Back, Biceps
Next, the supplements… Since finances will be tight for the next while, all I have to work with is the protein shakes I have (ISO Sensation, and Muscle Milk) and the bottle of Allmax Caffeine I purchased yesterday, which was a damn good deal. However, when I am permitted to get the supplements I so dearly love, I have some difficult decisions to make. ONE: I am curious about possibly trying some form of Tribulus/Testosterone supplements, such as Vitrix. Been doing a lot of looking into it since I feel it’s a touchy subject, but from what information I’ve been finding is I feel that it might be time to give it a try, but with caution, for I still have my nagging little doubts. TWO: Which pre/post supplements to get? I was more than delighted with both Universal Nutrition’s Shock Therapy and Controlled Labs’ White Blood for pre-workout and Universal Nutrition’s Storm for Post-workout. However, I would like to look into Controlled Labs’ Green Buldge and White Flood. The reason for White Flood over White Blood is because my favorite type of supps are the pre-workout NO boosters with all the added energy boosters (like Shock Therapy, NO-Xplode, and NOX-CG3) and I was so amazed by the Controlled Labs and all the hype for Green Buldge in the BB.com forums. So yeah, there’s a lot of that kinda stuff on my mind.
Finally, today’s workout. Today, I had to use my beautiful home gym to do chest, delts, and triceps. As a bodybuilder, I know that the incline is my best friend for chest development, and I have experienced this, so I went right into the inclines. Started with Incline bench press at the standard degree for any incline bench (approx 40-45 degrees) because that’s what I’m accustomed to at my regular gym. Next I bumped up the incline (approx 55-60 degrees) to do the incline DB press. Followed up with incline DB flyes at the same angle. Next was delts, and since I know that no matter how much effort I do, front delts are still involved in the presses, and due to my previous years of neglecting the attempt to exclude the front delts from the bench, my front delts are decent; thus I still need to bring up my middle delts to give myself rounder shoulders. This was done by doing behind-the-neck barbell press (yeah yeah I know many people think that’s taboo, but I’m always making sure to be safe). This was followed by seated DB lateral raises. Since I can’t do the dropsets as my main weapon for shoulders like I normally do, since I’m working at home, I had to utilize the rest-pause technique. Finally it was triceps time. I think my triceps got thrashed the worst out of everything, probably because of the work they did previous to their specific exercises. I did decline skull crushers, supersetted with close-grip presses, and followed up with DB kickback (ouch…) My verdict, the triceps will probably be most sore tomorrow, shoulders got a great pump, considering they were worked at home, and my chest will be sore tomorrow. Unfortunately, the inevitable drop in strength was experienced, as all the lifts were done with less volume and/or weights that previous, but it usually comes back very soon, so there was no real discouragement, just gotta work hard as always. Anyways, time to put it all down.
