The Layered Look……….
Ok, my weight is up to 128 and I feel good. The abs are a bit buried, but what the Hell. I need to gain a little weight to built the legs. No…not 25 lbs, but ten would be good. I may even try out 140 as last year my bulk weight got to 130……strip it down to 125 by March and the Arnold Amateur and its all good.
I have been lifting like a maniac all weekend and tonight I am taking off. i think I have been going over a week straight and it starts catching up to me. I did super heavy back the other day and I was so smoked. My middle back felt like hamburger. I maxed out at 130 on my lat press downs….I impressed myself actually. Last night was some shoulders and tris. My tris hardly ever fail to get sore, but the shoulders……..I kill them and they have grown quite a big. My issue with them is that my traps and pretty pronounced, so my shoulders dont look as big as some girls on stage…the same goes because of my upper arms being pretty pronounced, if I had a smaller outer arm..they’d look bigger. Another isssue is my adductor (thats the one going out on the windshield wiper machine I think) anyway, Im pretty pronounced there to..so I am not working them anymore. And no more heavy oblique training……waist is too thick. I will still do abs, photographers love abs, but not as heavy as I used to.
I do like being heavier, but superlean is hard to let go of!! Frankly, my gym pants look better on me when I got a bigger but and legs and you get such a better pump. Looking in the mirror Im thinking I look jacked up and its awesomely empowering to be honest.
I have been eatinbg like ahorse though. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, potatoes, whole wheat pasta, protein shakes. I want GOOD weight, not junk food weight. I did eat a whole can of Pringles last weekend by myself though. I have my moments.
I hope everyone is doing great! Enjoy the 2009 jack o lantern……..

I love off season workouts. You’ve got the energy to really kill it.
