FAT TUESDAY 02-24-09
Where do i start? My knee is about 95% i’ve been able to train as heavy as i want doing select exercises that don’t bother it. I have to ice it and stretch it everyday and take an aleve before i train to keep the inflamation down. You know you’ve toasted your legs when they spasm for the remainder of the day and you can’t walk because they cramp with every step you take. mwahaha.
I had to make some adjustments to my diet because the weight was coming off a little too fast. I stopped taking the cytolean for now and dropped the cardio back to 20 minutes three times a week. I weighed in at 221 sunday morning. Had a cheat meal sunday night after leg training and was only up .5lb the following morning. HA.
I’ve been battling an illness for the past week, my wife decided to catch a cold from a friend in new orleans and then generously shared it with me. I’ve missed a couple days of work but was able to keep up with my training and cardio. I think yesterday was the worst of it and it seems to be in remission now.
I’ve joined a new gym in addition to my old gym. Its about 30 minutes away but its where a group of local bodybuilders train and they have hammer strength equipment and tanning beds too. Not to mention the dumbells go up to 150. Its nice to be back in my element in a bodybuilding atmosphere with people who share the same mindset. I just go there twice a week and alternate between there and my old gym. I like the variety.
I’ve come up with a new term called "championship sets" Its the sets you push out when your body and your mind say no, you’re done. They are what separate first from second place.
I’ll be taking progress pics next week. Should see some significant changes.
