OK, so for some time now I have been experiencing a strained shoulder, doctor didnt really tell me much to do to fix to be honest (only what anyone who goes to the gym would already do, lift lighter). I have been hitting the weights lower and with more reps trying to ease my shoulder in to things again, but something stupid will happen then and it gets hurt again. If anyone has ever had to do a physio program, or had a strained shoulder, or rotator cuff or whatever help me out here. I work out of town so I need a program I can do on my own and can't afford to go sit down with a trainer at this moment in time to discuss one, nor do I have the time. If anyone see this and would help me out I'd greatly appreciate it!!

So I finally get the call to go back to work.. which was right at the end of my first month of truly hitting hitting the gym. Gonna be working in Northern Alberta in isolated camps. Most of them have the gym, which is nice.. I pray to GOD that this place has a gym. I dont care what condition anything is in.. As long as there is free weights and some cardio equipment.

I have made a goal of updating my lifts and measurements every two weeks, and adding progress pictures monthly. Which means my currents stats of everything will be in along with progress in the next couple of days.

Watch for results and progress !!

I have been away for a while, but this last month has given me a new hope to attaining my goals! I have increased an extreme amount in the last month. Everything was down in my lifts, my shape, and my motivation. But seeing the gains in the last month, and some surpassing some of my higher times I am eager to hit the gym everyday and see what this next month will bring.

As of now my two lift I am most impressed with including my squat and barbell bench sit at 315 for 4 rep squats, which according to the calculator on bodyspace is aprox 345. I will see if I can push that out next day the gym for a rep, and my bench press is at 240 for 1 rep which I have done. Now to see where I am at the end of February, watch for my progress, and new pics in a month. Really gonna hit it hard!

So, 2012 begins.. Along with another attempt at this. I realized how much bodysapce helped me manage my stats, lifting progress and body progress. Its been too long since I have been on this, or at the gym. Been working in Northern Alberta for a long while, and for anyone of you who know the routine up there, Eat, Work, Eat, Sleep. 10 - 12 hour days 10 - 24 days straight. Kicked my A$$, time to start kicking back! Been out of the gym now for aprox a year. Lost a little size and definition, but am getting it back, working hard at it anyways! Gonna be posting some pictures in the near future, as well as getting all new stats, see where being off from the gym over a year has gotten me, and how fast I can get back there! Best of luck to me and all of you in 2012

I've been inactive on this for quite some time now. Was working out regularly, just mainting my size and strength. Got laid off there a few weeks ago and havent had anything to do but go to the gym. So I have been blasting the muscles at the gym in this time frame. Seeing some more size and strength commig. Forgot how good it felt to see results. Lets see where I am in a months time.

Well I must say more progress coming to this day going to need to get some pictures, and starting a lower calorie diet again. Going to try and jsut stay toned all year round and keep gaining muscle for a while instead of going crazy on the food and shakes. Although I want to its jsut soooooooooo hard when trying to get back in to basketball and working and everything else. I recently receive a pm so that I can be used for bodyspace member of the month for August. It was amazing I didnt think that I was ever going to get picked for that but it made my day. I have been hitting the gym so hard since I seen it I am actually very proud. Recently even been saved by Jesus. And life has been amazing since I got saved. Cant wait to see the progress he helps me bring. Till then peace out.

I was at the gym the other morning lifting with my buddy, who is jsut starting to get in to it. I was training him I guess you could say when a personal trainer came over to me and asked me if I ever had a personal trainer before. I told her I was jsut learning myself through reading and an amazing organization called bodyspace. She asked me a bit about it all and said she thought she should check it out. While we were talking she told me that she was very suprised I never had a trainer before becasue my technique and form was excellent for someone my age. She had been watching me for a few days at this time she said before she actually came over to talk to me.

Aswell I did chest that day. I did my bench press with a warm up of 135 15 reps then I did 145 12 reps then 165 8 reps and then again for another 8. It was at the end of my benching that I decided to go for a 5th set to see what I could do at the time. I put on 185 and pressed that 4 times on my 5th set. Next time I am going to see what I can do once. I was pumped.

Isn't this supose to be a bodybuilding site? Which is somewhere people go with the same interests pot progress pictures and what not? I extremly turned on by the oposite sex don't get me wrong! But whats up with all these pictures of womens breast and ass all the time? I mean there are women on this site that deserve more credit on this site then half of the guys at times and you still see the women with the tits with all the views, comments, and top views. I think its stupid, and I think that if you arent on this to post bodybuilding pictures then what are you doing here? I am sure there are other sites where you can go upload pictures of your tits for people to look at. I don't think they should be allowed to put them on this site I come on to look at pictures and progress people are gaining throughout the course of this incredibly hard lifestyle not to look and see who has the biggest tits! This is all jsut my opinion but I wouldnt mind feedback to see if I am the only one here discusted about this. I am only 16 you would think I would be the one viewing it all but like I said thats not what I am here for.

I am currently starting to bulk. Planning on bulking till I reach about 180 - 190 depending on how long that will take me. If I can do that before January then I will keep going till January. But thats still gaining anywhere from 30 - 40 pounds. My plans are to compete next summer in 2009. So this is my first bulking experience. Doing it pretty clean lots of pastas and shakes. Any help would be great though if you would like to give me some feed back. Will get more pictures at a later date and keep the progress comming from my bulking till my cutting till hopefully my competition.

Well its been a few weeks since I really hit the gym. My diet though has been adequate. I am starting to really get serious on my diet though lately and I have been hitting the gym again regularly. I noticed strength loss in all of my lifts almost which I really didn't hope to see but I had it comming. I was away on vacation visiting my father so the gym wasn't my main priority after not seeing him for two years +. Going to hit the gym today and also start my cardio. I dont think I have done a cardio session at the gym since January. Need to start now so I can train for next year when I hope to compete.

well today is one of the first leg workouts I have done in a long time. I kinda don't like working my legs but realize I am going to have to put up with it if I want to do this for my life. I have naturally strong legs so I was able to do the weights my partner was doing today and he has been doing his legs now for a while for hockey and other sports. That was today after school. I did squats, lunges, calf raises, and a workout on a hamstring machine. I am jsut trying to get back in to working my legs out.

This morning although I went to the gym aswell like I normally do but I did back and biceps. Biceps are starting to peak a bit, back is becoming more defined and tapered. Really looking good for me at the moment. I did shrugs today aswell for my traps which I normally do on these days. I normally do only 50-60 lbs not wanting to overdue it. But today I wanted to see what I could do and I ended up doing 90 lbs in each hand. I was impressed sees how I only started my traps the other week about two weeks ago. Anyways must go for some stir-fry and rice. Peace

Well I am taking the weekend off like I normally do, No cardio no weights no nothing! A bit of time to relax from the gym is always nice. Just got some new pictures put on my profile, think the gains are comming good. Can't wait to hit the gym tomorrow morning and get some new pictures later on.

****ght so today was the first day back to the gym in about a week and a half. Just gettin completely over the flu and that really pissed me off. I did a full arm workout today just to get the arms back in the groove. I also started BSN NO-Xplode today, hoping I can get the results everyone claims they get, although I do find that the energy and vascularity it adds is well up there with what everyone has been saying. I don't know if it was the long rest or if it was a bit of the NO-Xplode or a bit of both but I found I was able to use more strict form for the same about of each workout I normally do seems to give a bit of endurance, will see how it turns out.

****ght so I have been out of the gym for the past week, pissed off to becasue I just got over a realllllly bad head cold. Wasn't in school or anything. I was reading about how your body pretty much shuts down after so much intense training and that due to the stress level of your body during this time. The immune system specifically. During the time that my body was shut down I caught a flu and have been screwed since. Has this happend to many people ? Is this specifically due to the intense training? I get all my vitamins and I take a Multivitamin. I am going to be back to the gym tomorrow morning and I get enough sleep. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts as to why this may be? Thanks

Well I finally done it. I have been going to the gym lately for about 2 weeks in the morning. Sessions are so much better in the morning and it gives me a pump to workout as soon as I get out of the bed in the mornings. Although trying to fall asleep when anxious to get to the gym is a little hard but its gettin easier. I go to the gym Monday - Friday and I hit the weights hard. Today I did a full arm blast and they kill, had to play dodgeball in gym and I could barely throw the ball. The stress I am putting my body under though has caught up and I am gettin a little worn out and a little sick at the moment so I am going to rest the weekend no cardio or anyhting and hopefully be ready to hit the gym hard again Monday morning with a hard Chest and Triceps workout.
