Wednesday October 11, 2006- Delts, Traps

With all of this busting my damn balls everyday I weighed my self and came up 5 lbs heavier! Now I am @ 270lbs, WTF!?! I am getting so irritated w/ this crap, I can get the same results NOT doing any cardio! I don’t eat anything that is bad for me, my portions are small, and I don’t over eat! I am going to gte my BF% testing the last weekend of the month so we’ll see if it was some muscle that I added and not fat! Hopefully that is the case.

Tuesday October 6, 2006- Arms (UPDATED) 

I was feelin like CRAP b/c I cut myself short earlier today during my workout and plus I was getting so TIRED of homework running my life. It’s not like I need this sh^$y degree for anything, I just wanted to add to my resume. I’m a bodybuilder and that comes before school to me, b/c I already have a kick ass job teaching for the university making good money.

Tuesday October 10, 2006- Arms (quick) 

Today I had to really cut my workout time, b/c I have too much shit going on w/ school and have a ton of HW due! I am trying to switch majors from Postsecondary Technical Education to something different but can’t find anything that I am interested in!

Saturday October 7, 2006- Back, Abs, Calves 

Well, when I woke up this morning my legs hurt like a mother, but I managed to get out of bed and walk. I think my ass is more sore than anything. But there is nothing new going on w/ me today, besides watching some Ohio State football (the best thing about Ohio)!!! I did some back today @ the gym and went OK, I really don’t like doing back @ my gym b/c their back equipment isn’t very good and plus my left forearm was starting to get really sore during my workout, but I pushed through it and finished. Taking tomorrow off b/c it’s my 1 year anniversary and my wife would beat my ass if I went to the gym, lol. Will be back on Monday after my chest training.

Friday October 6, 2006- Legs, Cardio, Abs 

Today I left work @ 1200 and went to hit some Legs. Let me tell you what, I will not be able to walk for like a week after the hell I put myself through today! I think this was the absolute leg workout I have had in years. My last set of Leg Press I did a set of 10 w/ 780lbs and it had me feelin pretty damn good. Leg press is one of those exercises I can just keep on adding weight and it all feels the same. It’s nice to hear other guys talking while you’re doing your set and saying "Holy Sh*t". I must say it was an awesome feeling.  I wasn’t going to do cardio today, but after 30min of stretching after my weight workout, I was in the mood to do some Life Fitness Crosstrainer machine.  And this weekend is gonna be a good one. I left work early today and I am off on Monday too and Sunday is me and my wife’s 1st wedding anniversary! Nothing special planned, but it’s just nice.  So enough gabbin’ and to the workout…

Thursday October 5, 2006- Delts, Traps, Calves, Cardio

You’ll notice that there is no entry for yesterday and this is because I took it off due to having a lot of HW due by 5:00pm and I didn’t get off work in time to go. I had a great delt workout today and had an awesome pump afterwards. Still not dropping any weight but not gaining either (which is always a good sign). But the trainer I know keeps telling me to stick w/ it and it’ll drop off eventually. I am not a patient person and I want instant gratification, so this busting my ass just about daily is starting to get to me. And "eventually can mean a lot of different things and time is not a priviledge I have w/ having to drop 40-45lbs by April. But I’m not punkin’ out and am going to stick to it.  Starting tomorrow I will post my daily diet as well.Here we go…

Weights

Today was a pretty sh&^y day! It was pretty stressful, I got a new group of students for my clinical rotation and on top of that, my hospital is having a big conference tomorrow morning starting @ 0700 and I am on the planning board, so I had a ton of stuff to do with that too. But I did manage to get out of work about 30min early and hit the gym. I was sweating my a$$ off all day b/c the heat was like on 90 all day and my workout clothes were stickin to me and I felt bloated from the Kre-Alkalyn (which I am discontinuing starting in the AM), so I was feeling pretty uncomfortable. Anyway, I was feelin a little sore in my elbow joints but managed to get a good arm workout in I feel. So here it is:

Barbell Curls: 3×12- 75,85,95lbs

V-Bar Pressdowns: 4×12-15- 204lbs

Well, I hate to cut it short, but I have a boat load of homework to do ( I thought I was done w/ this crap 2 years ago when I graduated the first time) Oh well, I have like 6 more years of it, so I’ll suck it up. 

Later!

Monday October 2, 2006- Chest, Cardio, Abs

Today started off on a good note, I actually woke up early enough to eat my oatmeal and protein shake before leaving for work @ 6:35am.  I stuck to my diet perfect and I had a good chest workout. I also started using Sci-Fit Kre-Alkalyn 1500, 2 caps w/ breakfast and 2 caps before working out @ 3:30pm. I have not lost any weight yet, but feel a lot leaner. Could be adding some muscle b/c I have been hitting the weights pretty hard the last month. So here we are:

Weights

Bench Press: 6×12*,10*,12,10,8,6- 135*,135*,225,245,255,260lbs

Magnum Incline Bench Press Machine: 3×10,9,6->6- 360,360,360->270lbs (last set drop set)

Pec-Deck: 3×12- 130lbs

Cable Crossovers: 3×12,10,8- 60,70,80lbs

Cardio: 30min Treadmill- 580 calories burnt

Crunches

Basic Oblique Crunches

I’ll be going back to see the owner of my old gym @ the end of the month to get my BF % tested again to see if it has dropped any. My weight today was 265lb, but I noticed today when I put my scrubs on for work, my shirt is a lot looser through the stomach, which is a good sign! Be back tomorrow after Biceps, Triceps, Cardio, Abs, Calves.

Later!!!

I finally have some new pics up. My arms are about an inch bigger now and you can also see that they are a little less defined. I plan on changing that as I continue to cut up for the Mr. Canton Bodybuilding competition in April.  I’ll be back w/ updates tomorrow after my chest workout!

Later!
