Transformer in training

So, I did not get my workout on this morning because I was feeling like an old man at my second job. I mean back hurting, legs hurting, arms sore….enough already. Some say that pain is weakness leaving the body….I hope that it’s big muscle fibers conquering the small ones I have now!!!!!! I did a shoulder routine during my lunch break…which was pretty intense. Intense enough for me to wish I had arms like the little action figures I had as a child. Ya’ know the kind where you can take the arms off and then put them back on when you felt like it!!!!

I know this is random but, here is an awesome article http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/mohr105.htm.

Now, back to the regularly scheduled blog…..

Anyhow, to explain the nature of the title of this point. While leaving my office, I saw the fire truck and ambulance pull up and go into the gym. First thing I thought of “Somebody has tried to lift some heavyweights and they fell on them!”. Turns out some kid passed out while trying to lift weights, the problem? He didn’t eat or drink any water before or during his workout!!!!!!!

Until I write again….if you don’t take any other advice from this site…remember that eating properly and water are always no brainers!!!!!!!

(5:56AM) Following a new plan I did the arm workout. This time I really focused on form. Now, I don’t know if this was as effective as my other workouts…usually my arm can go down all the way after doing an arm workout; I guess that was mainly from doing so many reps.

 This time, I lifted heavy weights with low reps….sweating like a lost soul in the desert I pushed on through the workout for about 50 minutes or so. The only problem was that I ran out of time and wasn’t able to do the ab workout. Next time, I think I will do those first.

Peace out.

Yea..the other day I received some comments from Moto286.If you haven’t checked out his leg workouts..you’re trippin you need to stop reading my lame blog and watch the videos! Speaking of trippin, this morning I called myself working out…Moto286 style. But of course with lesser weight….hmmm

1) I barely made it out of the gym

2) I almost fell down the stairs as I tried to leave my apartment.

3) It was a hell of a workout!

Until next time!

(5:59AM) This morning….I woke up (Goal #1)…..I made it to the gym (Goal #2)…..I lifted some heavy weights(Goal #3)….I had a good back workout(All goals were accomplished!).

So that’s that…in other news I really am loving this website more and more each day. Every once and a while the people who I may look at on the site and be like "Man! That’s the status I am trying to get to." will actually write something on my wall or respond to a blog. Now, let the truth be told they may not be movie stars. But, they are real inspirations in several facets.Oh…let me make something clear…not a "I am a fanatic about you kind of way" but in a "That is where hard work will get me" kind of way.

So, I say all that to say…thanks folks for your kind comments and taking a moment out of your schedules to leave some comments for beginning people like me!

Until I write again…Don’t get caught in the hype…get caught up in the self-worth of bodybuilding!

(6:00AM) This morning I hit the gym and literally was exhausted from a bicep and tricep workout. Is this crazy or am I really suppose to be sweating that hard? Anyway it felt good afterwards and my arms were fat!!! Nice!!! The workout went something like this

No rest in between sets

Everything under here was done 3 times in a row 

50lbs,40lbs,30lbs - X 15 reps

Skull Crushers   ?lbs - 15 reps

Tricep Pull back   70lbs - 15 reps

Forearm curls 20lbs - 20 reps

Preacher curls 65  - 10 reps

At about 10 or so my stomach felt as if there were several thunderstorms ranting through me. Uggghhhh this does not feel good people! Was I hungry? No, I just eaten. Luckily, the storm passed and now it seems as if we have clear skies for the ride home!

Until I write again….while you’re on the diet for bodybuilding…be watchful of what you eat and when you eat!

So, my profile picture makes it look as if I am "big", which is a very relative term. But, I must tell you people…Don’t be fooled! I still weigh the same ole’ measley 200lbs!!!!

(5:56AM) I’m looking at the clock in the gym wondering "Self?!?!?!?What in the hell are you doing and why are you not sleep?"… Yea…those type of thoughts in the morning do not help your workout! So, today I did some leg exercises…slowly but surely building up those oak trees. Today, I did high weight with fewer repetitions….I don’t know if it was the weight or just my mindset today; but I was sweating like I ran a marathon!!!!!! Tonight I won’t be going to the second job…just catch up on some much needed rest.

Until I write again…get your groove back before hitting the gym!!

(5:45AM) 8 hours after I went to sleep….I am off to the gym.

Today my chest and back hurt…like everytime I take deep breathes it just aches in the front and back. Tommorow? Rest day…I may going biking on the river.

Diesel…all of this pain better pay off!!! Just kidding, I know it will.

Until I write again….hubris is a keystone of life!

Been there…raw eggs, supplements and less workouts. Most recently, I have understood a little bit better that raw eggs can and will make you sick, and 2)Supplements and more workouts is the actual equation for sucess…that’s if you must use them.

OK…for a few seconds I am going to play the blame game…. JareubaT and DieselDru….yea!!! This is your fault. So, yesterday everything was sore, legs, hamstrings,back,abs…..EVERYTHING!!! This morning when I got up…I figured that pain killers would help ease the pain so that I could get through my workout. Well, I took the tablets and proceeded to the gym for a "Chiseling chest" workout. My workout went pretty well although I didn’t have the opportunity to do all of the exercises I wanted to do. Today went something like this: Warmups Flyes 20 Bench Press (No Weight) 20 Sets Incline Bench 10 X 3 Incline Flys 10 X 3 Bench Press 10 X 1 Dumbell Press 10 X 2 Seated bench 10 X 3 Flys 15 X 3 Overhead something 10 X 3 (Whatever the exercise that works the bottom pecs) I wanted to do the decline bunch but 1) I ran out of time, 2) I was sweating my butt off which also meant that my chest was done with lifting weights. Tommorow? Those bodacious biceps, sensational shoulders and tenacious triceps! Until I write again…if you want to look like a bodybuilder…take advice from a bodybuilder…no matter how bad it hurts the next day!!!

That’s what was happening at 6:03am this morning. I started my workout with some light reps of lat pulls, back flyes and rows. Then? I added a super amount of weights and did 3 sets of supersets like so:

 Pullups        10

Lat Pull         10

Back Fly        10

Row             10

By the time I left the gym? I was sweating! Which, of course, is always a good sign.

Tommorow? Chiseling chest day!….

Until I write again…balance advice with pertinent thought!

I think therefore I am an oak tree….so that may not be the literal meaning….but that’s what I was thinking earlier today while working out my legs! Oak trees people that’s the goal…for your legs to be like strong oaks!!!

Until I write again….peace.

My quads are hurting so bad…I can barely walk and they are very sore!!! In other words, I worked my butt off today!!!

Until I write again…

What did that mean for me? Unfortuantely no gym workouts…however I got several small workouts this weekend.

This past week I presented my ideas at a conference on some theoretical models of student development in college. By being my first presentation…I was just a little nervous. But, when my evaluations came back I got excellent ratings from all 45 attendees! How awesome is that?!?!? For the rest of the weekend, since I didn’t have a gym to go to, I did ab and cardio exercise each day (Saturday and Sunday). I then did alot of work inside and outside of the house for my mom and uggghhhhh that was a darn good workout in itself.

On Sunday, the fiance came along with me back to the hometown and this morning there was no workout done. So, tommorow I will be back in the game….on the quest to be super sexy by my wedding time….if that is possible….whatever I think it is.

Peace, love and hair grease folks!!!!

Well, I am nothing near a king,but I am back in swing. So, the past few days were a little scary because something had snapped in my back and was hurting for awhile. Jareuba told me that it was just my body compressing and then thoughts such as "Is this why older people tend to get smaller as they get older, well I need to stop now!", and thoughts like "I hope like hell I haven’t messed up my back over some d$*% calf raises!!, I need to stay on the donkey lift!".

 But, after some streching and swimming yesterday..all the back pain is gone. So, this morning I hit the gym to blast the biceps and triceps for about 45 minutes…yea I’m back in the game for a second!

 Until I write again….be careful on those calf raises folks!

So,yesterday I was doing my standing calf raises and I felt some that…like snapped in my back or my spine. So, all yesterday I had the feeling that my back needed popping.I had my co-workers to step on my back, I did back pop routines the works. The results? Nothing, this morning my back continued to feel as if it needed to be popped so I tried the same thing again and no relief!!!

 I didn’t go to the gym because I didn’t want to cause any undue stress on whatever it is that I am experiencing. If you got some suggestions on what this or what I should do…PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Until I write again…be safe out there.

(7:45pm) This morning I did not clock into the gym like I was suppose to. Instead I slept in and decided to do some sort of workout later on in the day. So around lunch time I went swimming and then came home and try to do some bicep exercise,but that proved to be invaluable. So, the rest of the day was spent perusing the bodybuilding site looking at other guys who are where I want to be. This is called building up my motivation to hit the gym tough for the rest of the week.

 Tommorow? Of course it will be a leg day of some sort a few sqauts some leg extensions and calf raises to do the trick.

 Until I write again….be careful of some of the advice that people give on here…just cause they survived the strong potential of killing the lining of their stomachs with weird practices does not neccesarily mean that you should too!!!

(7:48PM)

Why do I ask this? Because eitheir I need to get some more motivation in my system or my family genes are not prepped for bodybuilding!!!! So, I need a loan for a while…just kidding!

This morning, I went to the gym and perform so "Busting" back workouts…and that’s exactly what it felt like afterwards, like my back was about to burst!!! But hey, that’s a good thing!!!!

School is winding down and my students are leaving for the summer…I wished them all a good summer and, I pray to God that they all return safely next semester.

Today, we had a scare in the city…some person called one of the local schools and threatened to perform a massacre like that of Virginia Tech!!! Okay….not funny!!!!!!!

Currently thinking about the week to come and whether or not I will have time to go and workout…..hmmmmmm, I’m trippin right? Yes I am. We’ll see…this man will continue to be at work always doing what he can while he can.

Until I write again….remember that tommorow is never promised so live and enjoy life as if you were dying! If that doesn’t get you going….then I don’t know what will.

Unfortuantely…well not really that unfortunate my wedding is on the 29th and not the 21st night of September….but that would have been so cool if it was!!!!

Anyhow, that has nothing to do with my workout for today on this Wet Wednesday in the city.

This morning biceps and triceps followed by an afternoon swim.

Dieseldru…I am working it with the heavy weights.

Also, thanks to the people who gave me comments about balling on a budget!

I think I will give some progress update soon…I don’t know about pictures cuz much really hasn’t changed!

Until I write again…remember that your imagination is your most valuable resource for accomplishing your goals.

Until I write again…let me stay in my comfort zone until I hit the gym.

This mornning I hit the gym…just a little late about 6:05AM. My goal for the hour? Building some wheels of steel, yea you got it the good old leg exercises. So, I am taking the advice of another member and using heavier weights than usual. As I am sitting there, I realize why I don’t usually do weights that heavy….Because I feel as if they are going to fall back on me!!!! But then to, if I become fearful enought the adrenaline should help me get them off of me…shouldn’t it? Whatever, let me stop whining at just do the work!

 But here is the real dillemma, I am officially trying to exercise on a serious…I am talking a really" skim around the pockets" type serious….like no protein shakes or anything for a while!!! What should I do? What should I do?

 I sound like an addict who has just lost some drugs or something don’t I? Anyway, any and all comments are welcomed. Thanks again folks and happy exercising!

 Until I write again…be safe and stayed focused!!!
