I have had an elbow injury for almost a year now that won’t go away. I injured my left elbw while doing heavy overhead DB flys and I rested it for probably 4 months before trying any extention moves for Tris. It is just an irritating pain. It feels like shooters elbow which I have had on my right elbow before (I can barely shoot with my right hand much less my left). I have gotten to where I can do Rope press downs and Overhead Rope extensions but nothing with a strait or easy bar. I have been able to make gains with Dips and Close grip benching but want to get back to skull crushers. any suggestions on how to put this nagging injury to rest would be great.

It is a good thing I have become num to the scale. The scale is like a friend of a friend that you really shouldn’t trust but have to listen to sometimes. I am doing a toning and fat burning program that consists of supersets with 15 to 20 reps. Each work out last week made me want to puke and I lost one pound. This is usually where I say screw this and go back to 8-10 reps but I will push on. I will give this at least two more weeks before I look to see if I need to switch it up.

I am doing a new program that consists of Super, Tri, and even quad sets of 15 to 20 reps. every other day full body workouts. After the first triset I want to puke each time. I keep pressing through though. I want to tone muscle and lose fat. I will post progress pics again in 5 weeks

about a month ago I noticed a vein in my shoulder, now this morning I am starting to get a Bicep vein. That rocks. The vein isn’t always there but it was there this morning. I have one more week of my current 6 week program and will be posting progress picks. This is the first time in a long time that I have had the dicipline to follow through a program. Constantly changing it up has helped in new muscle growth but has not allowed for the full benifit of a routine. Like I said one more week but things are going really well.

Just saying high to every one. I havn’t had a chance to really get on the site but still have been working hard in the gym. I have ups and downs as far as diet is concerned but if you know me then you already new that. About to kill legs and abs and then off to work. Been Doing Deep squats lately and enjoying the burn. I just have to get past the fact that I have to take half the weight off. Form over all is the most important thing. Basicly like I sd saying hi to all that I havn’t talked to in a while. Hit me up and let me know how your doing.

Blasting my limbs is the next phase of my transformation. I am content for the time being with my chest and Back. My legs and arms on the other hand are definetly to small. Upper/Lower body spit. Upper day will have a couple of movements to maintain Back and Chest but will mostly be devoted to Arms. Then of course Leg days would be for Legs. Mornings will do cardio, abs, pullups and Dips. Evening will go heavy to build muscle. Not 100% sure on how the workouts will be structured so I welcome suggestions from people who have had success in Arms and or Legs. Excited to see my results.

On the 24th of March I wrote my last blog titled rededication. Since then I am happy to report that the dedication has become a lifestyle. Today is my rest day and I can’t wait till tomorrow to get to the gym and murder my chest and delts. I have been working out at night and getting great results. I havn’t did any cardio yet but still seem to be loosing fat while I gain muscle. 8-12 reps 3 sets sometimes pyrimiding or using supersets, and sometimes just the regular 3X10. Going heavy and have been sore for a couple of days after every workout. Soon I will be going to full body every other day split with tons of cardio but for now I will continue till I quit growing. I am on vacation this week from work to fix up my house but am not taking a vacation from the gym. Will post more progress picks in a couple of weeks, since I plan to have more noticable differences then.

If any of you remember me I always have trouble with diet and seem to have a different work out routine every week. I am a month and a half into my new position at work and it seems I still can’t make a schedule work for me. I am now over 240 pounds and not very happy. I know That I have gained some muscle but mostly I have packed on fat. Most times I would go crazy and try to get down to 230 by next week. I would spend every spare minute (with a new job and remodeling the house spare minutes are few and far between) in the gym and try to make up for my lack of will power when it comes to my diet. With Time not on my side what I am going to do is full body every other day and cardio every other day. Then concentrated on diet. The kitchen in my house is basicly finished and is at least opperatable for cooking so no more mcdonalds, pizza, china buffet, ext., I will be preparing meals with the perfect micro nutients. I love to pump iron and will never stop. but my goals can not be reached under a Barbell. If anybody has a wonderful recepies of things that can be prepared and brought on the go I would apprieciate the feedback. I have posted my new ballooned weight on my page and will try and get new measurements up tonight. For this morning I am going to hit the Gym and kill my body.
Thanks
Chad
