P.S. These people are absolutely stupid!

(5:40AM) This morning I woke up at literally stood in my bedrooom and looked at the clock for, what felt like, 10 minutes….For some reason I was amazed by the red light piercing through the darkness. Yea….I was really sleepy. Anyhow, I made it over to the gym to get my workout on…WITHOUT MY IPOD!!! I managed through make it through some squats,extensions,curls, and calf raises. After that? I was caput! For some reason, I was really drained. As you can see my profile picture has changed to one of me acting silly in my apartment. I probably won’t be working out much this week in preperation for a bunch of things happening over the week and weekend.  

 Until I write again..do a few reps for me. Peace.

Whoa!!!!!This weekend has zoomed by..literally.So, I am currently taking to doc classes while working two jobs and ugghhh realized that I am crzy!!!! This weekend…I just barely sneaked in sometime for a bicep workout. Nothing was done this morning, because I had to prepare for some freaking meetings all day. Hopefully I will be able to get back in tommorow. Ohhh this week I am packing up my apartment and moving into a house and then going to Memphis and get my fiance’s stuff and move it back to Arkansas!!!! Man….it’s probably time for me to keep my clothes on for a while. Peace!

(5:35AM) This morning I got motivated from reading some blogs yesterday and made a deliberate effort to get my but to the gym. So, in the wee hours I commenced to a grueling leg workout. I must say…it was awesome….I am even seeing some veins in my thighs!!!!! Awwwwww yyyeeeaaaaaa!!!!!!! So that means that I am definetly on the way to get those tree trunks for legs. At about 6:30 or so…this guy, who is pretty huge…as in muscular huge comes into the weight room. Now, I have seen this guy before, like a couple of weeks or so ago, and now he was back again.

So, I think it’s just me but these kind of things just makes me go "hmmmmmmmmmmmmm". While this guy is in the gym, with his black tank top and P.E. class gym shorts he and basball cap pull so far down you can only see his eyes, he constantly looks at hisself in the mirror. Before he even begins to workout he begins to look at his self in the mirror, fanning his shirt up and down, pacing back and forth and then he will go and lift some weights and repeat the "look at myself" routine for another 5 minutes.

 Okay, now the truth out of this. Man, I was kind of jealous at the size he had on him and the minimal workout he was doing!!! I mean he wasn’t even sweating!!!! So, eventually he came over by me and began to workout his shoulders, while I was working out my legs. So what I do??? Even though I was on the last set…..I did a couple of more!!!! It was kind of like what Xtremefitness commented about in his blog…."seeing is beleiving" and seeing him was like "See what hard work will do for you!";even if I wanted to believe that a lot of his build had to do with genetics, especially if he always worked out the way he was this morning.

Well, until I write again…"Motivation can be found anywhere, in anything, and sometimes anyone.

(6:35AM) So uummmmm yea…woke up jjuuusssttt a little late this morning! I made up for it by doing some cardio during my lunch break at work today and an ab routine, which turned out to be swell!!! Tommorow morning I think I will be putting in some work with the legs!!!!

~UPDATE ON THE BIRDS AND HAZING~

So, for the last few nights I haven’t heard the birds….so I am assuming that they are now OFFICIAL BIRDS of some sort. I just wanted to let everyone know…..because I know that you were concerned.

Until I write again keep pushing it to the limits.

(5:45AM) Not really, I did do my workout this morning but I was low on energy. Did some supersets of curls dumbells and barbells and then followed with a tricep exercise. Hmmmm….is the heat? or is it just me getting lazy???? I think it’s a combination of both. Peace out folks and have a good workout!

(5:47pm) Yea!!! Day off from the second job, but laters hours at the primary! So, I took about 45 minutes to do a shoulder workout this afternoon and uggghhhh man do they hurt. As stated before, I kinda wish my body was like the little He-Man action figures I had as a child and I could take the arms off whenever I wanted to. Well, maybe I don’t wish I could do that…anyhow the subject title is a challenge to everyone reading this entry…let me see you tell about a workout that you wish you could take off that part for a second, only until the pain stops, and then put it back on. (Please don’t take this for a literal sense people, just using my imagination here!) Best of luck to ya’!

Hmmm, it’s kind of weird Alli sounds like such a friendly name! So, I was in Wally world the other day and saw women scrambling around this gigantic display of this colorful medicine. I’m thinking to myself "What in the hell is on that stand?". Turns out it is the new "FDA approved" diet pill. Whatever works…I guess my only issue was that I was watching MSNBC and they were saying this pill had the least amount of side effects. One of them being losing control of your bowels…UUUgggggghhhhhhhh HELLO???? Did I hear that correctly? Then one of the doctors who sat on the board to approve the medicine supposedly stated that "America will need a lot of diapers." Okay, that’s to much! Hopefully, this will only occur to a few people and we won’t have a mass surge of adult diapers plastering our T.V. screens in the near future.(LOL)

But seriously, I am glad that there is something out there to give people some motivation and hopefully change their lives for the better. I just also hope that they understand that miracles can really only occur through belief in themselves.

(2:00PM) This afternoon, I was being really lazy. This morning I fixed some protein pancakes and went back to sleep. Got up watched T.V. and went back to sleep. Woke up, cleaned up the apartment and wanted to go back to sleep and then I said to myself "Get up and lift" followed by some other explicit motivating words. So I did….today was a chest day. Just like my last workout I started with 10 lbs more than I did lask week and increased by 20lbs as I went through the workout.

I did find out today that….when you really work your chest? Yea, althoug you think you can lift the weight your chest will start to shake and the weight will fall….on the floor or on you!!!! Lessons are all learned in time.

Tommorow??? I think it will be a leg day…if not an arm day…although I am really hoping it will be a leg day. I will check my log to see and you can check back later to see what I did!

 Stay motivated folks!
Until I write again…remember that dreams are always possible.

(5:35AM) No people I am not one of the vain people that you may find out this website or in your local gym. But, this is a statement whether true or not I have to continually tell myself while in the gym. Yea, it may sound a little strange.However, this is just one of many ways, in which, I keep myself from being down about not making progress as fast I want and to also calm down my "Get big fast" syndrome that seems to come over me every once in a while.

So, I am not saying that I look better than anyone on this site. The fact of the matter is many people on here look much much better than me!!! This is just another mental strategy to reach my ultimate goal.

Speaking of goals, this morning I blasted through my leg workout with some awesome accomplishments! This morning I started my squats with 10 more than what I started last week and continued to go up from there. Leg extensions,curls,stiff leg lifts,lunges all comprised the morning killer workout! My legs are feeling good, I was sweating good and I finsihed the workout in good timing…all by 6:45!

Until I write again…..hubris balanced with ego = awesome character. Be safe in the gym folks!

(5:30AM,6:00AM,6:20AM,6:45AM,7:15AM) Yea as you can see I had trouble waking up this morning. But all the while…the birds were still being initiated!!!!!!

This afternoon I did a workout in which I swam about 36 laps in about 15 minutes. It took me a while because I took longer breaks in between each set of 12. Tommorow is a new day…one, in which, I will be trying to get my legs on point!!!

Peace

(5:50AM) To get it out of the way yes I was hazed heavily before getting initiated into my fraternity.But, that is not the subject at hand today, it’s one a little more interesting. So, for the last few nights beginning at about 10:00pm on until about 6:00AM there has been some strange activitiy outside of my apartment window.

Wwwhooooo,swio swio swio, hoooocccckk hhhoooccckk hoooccckk (Repeat for several minutes, in different ranges for several hours…out must be done in groups of 2 or more).

One night (2:15AM) I woke up and told my fiance, "The birds are talking to much!". She rolled over and went right back to sleep. I, however, could not get past the LOUD noise for several minutes.

A few nights later she wakes up and says "Are they getting initiated?". Ohhh my gosh!!! I was not to sleepy to wake up and laugh at that one! It instantly reminded me of my long nights doing crazy stuff.

Why are these birds flying to the tree by window making this noise every night? Who knows what it is…I say they are getting hazed others will simply call in nature.

Ohh by the way…the an intense back workout was done this morning too. So all is well in the neighborhood.

Until I write again…If you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good you will do good!

(5:30AM) After a long enough period of recess this past weekend, class was back in session this morning.For those who don’t know, I mean working out class of course. This morning I picked up where I left off last week and worked the shoulders.

It may have been my period of resting, or it could have been that I was working hard…anyhow I sweating like crazy this morning after working the shoulders and calves. So, I’m back in the game for another round…Peace

Until I write again…remember that you can sleep when you die…but you may be sleeping sooner than later if you don’t get your necessary rest now!

This morning…hmmm…was interesting.

I went to bed at about 1:00am, that made for about 20 hours that I was up all yesterday. Then I woke up at 5:30 this morning, snooze the alarm for 5:45 and then went to the gym and made it there by 6:00. By 6:15 I was back at home and in the bed!(LOL!!) Funny but so true. Yesterday my mind said that recess was in session…today my body said that "We are still in session!". But, I feel really rested here at work and not sleepy, which is a plus!!

(7:35AM) "Ohhh S*#$!!!!!" was the thought of the morning as I realized that there was

1.To much light out side for 5:30 in the morning, 2. I had to be at work in 25 minutes.

Luckily, I am able to walk to work each day so much of my time was used for getting ready. Breakfast for the morning? Tuna to go.

Okay, clear sign for me…I think recess will be in session for a minute.

If you take a look at my progress chart, you will see a significant decline in squatting lbs. Reason: After taking some pointers from Moto286 and some others, a few lessons were learned.

1) Your legs do complex functions everyday that stabilize you and allow you to travel long distances. With that being said, the muscles are use to working pretty hard…they have been doing it for so many years it’s nothing for them. So, you have to do some exercise that stress the hell out of them.

2) Digging into the trenches(MOTO286). Leg exercises, to me, seem to require an exercise that makes them burn…almost from deep inside the muscle.

3) Instead of doing the half squat….like Lil’ John says ‘Get low!Get low!’. Squats are no joke at this point because it’s a longer way to the top!!!!!!

You try it and see!!!!!

Until I write again….always balance ambition with intuition.

(5:30AM) If you haven’t heard of this song it’s pretty nice…it kinda sounds like one of those intro songs for some 70’s show. Anyhow, the song is playing and keeping me awake as I type through this blog. Yesterday,hmmmm…what did I do? Ohhh lord, I’m so tired my mind seems to be going. Just kidding, I did arms yesterday and legs this morning. Tommorow? Don’t know if I will make it. The 12 hrs seems to be playing grim reaper on me for now. Whose says a little break doesn’t hurt? ME!!!! So, we shall see how I feel in the morning. Until I write again…weightrooms are for focusing on lifting weights not on your conversations or your cell phones.

So, according to my stats? I am making some progress! Whew!!!!! Cuz these workouts with no signs of progress were becoming expensive and exhaustive.Anyhow, now I have to go play Superman and make some more money for my wedding…peace.

By the way…a piece of advice don’t do heavy lifting in the morning and swimming in the afternoon while working 12 hour shifts. You’re body will start to quit on you…trust me I’m feeling it right now! Peace out!

So, today I was watching T.V. wondering why am I gaining all of this strength and not seeing more improvements in my abs than I had in grad school? The thought came across my mind after reading Petefox blog. In the blog he had mentioned to someone about not having to have ab development at the moment, because it was not close to competition time and someone was trying to joke on him, I guess, for that. Anyhow it made me think of what activities I was doing while in school…..lots of running and lots of swimming….Now, I rarely do any of that….so that’s why I don’t have the development I want. So, now I am in  the predicament of worrying about losing muscle for the development. Help me out folks…what have you done?

It has been some weeks seen I have had the opportunity to enjoy my favorite past time….swimming.But, I did today!!!!! I swam until my heart was content. Only 15 laps Jareuba and Diesel, not my normal 36+.Anyhow, that’s out of my system.

But here is what’s interesting to me….why is it when I tell people I swim….like laps and stuff….they are like “You swim?!?!?!?” Ugghhhh hello!!! Yes I do!! Sometime I think people are caught up to much into the hype of stereotypes….black people swim too and we didn’t just start after “Pride” came out.

Am I mad? No, I really have been over this since the first year people started to ask me that in 2003, I just still find it interesting even to this day. Until I write again…2 ears, 2 eyes, sometimes 4, and 1 mouth…you do the thinking on that. Peace.  

(5:30AM) This morning I hit the gym a little early because I had other things to do before I went to work. So, I found out from the fitness cetner guy that the guy yesterday was hypoglaucemic? did not drink any water or eat and had a heart condition. Okay….so that’s that. The part that was interesting to me was that there were several huge, and I mean pretty big guys, who look as if they had been working out since they were 8 years old, working out with him. Could nobody help this man? Ohhh well, lessons are learned in time…hopefully the young man is better than yesterday.

In my world, I did a back routine today…still working on that mass….Diesel and Jareuba….I am trusting that your advice will hopefully get me to my goal soon. In other news, I found that I need to have 3,115 calories a day…just to maintain my weight. D*&$#!!!!!!! That means I have to eat even more to gain weight….hmmmm…this seems to be getting more expensive every go around.

 Any suggestions for some high calorie things that are good for you?

Until I write again….remember to take rest days in between your workouts.
