Transformer in training

So, I have been missing in action for a minute. No no no…I haven’t been slacking on the workouts, just have a few complications on getting here to blog. Today, I decided to peruse the site to check out people blog’s who were not my friends. Hmmm….interesting material. I read the profile of a young lady named Ms.Fitness, who I must say (In a kind way) looks awesome!!! She so vividly described how I feel about going to the gym in the afternoons….it’s like unexpected guest being in your living room when you get home!!!! Ms,Fitness? A treat!!Another blog of interest was a gentlemen who talked about how people are fat and unhealthy and how he noticed them in the park and maybe some other places. Then there was a piece about having sex with people who overweight. Now, maybe this was all in fun and I interpeted incorrectly. But, man…. I think it’s just  bad to bash people like that on a site that is suppose to be a little more uplifting…especially if you are not just the perfect role model of what you claim to represent "A healthy, in shape person"…hmmmm he is a trick!!!!

 That’s about all I have for now…this morning my weight was up to 207. Workouts have been coming along well and I am continuing to keep those in order through these colder months…. Peace out people…..stay safe, have fun and stay encouraging!

So, today I woke up…went to the scale and read 209 on the digital…

Excuse me??? What is really going on…yesterday…or maybe it was the day before I was like 204.

Something strange is going on.

So, my name may be Boo boo the fool when it comes to bodybuilding things online. If anyone is to take a look at my blog, you will see a significant decrease in my squatting weight. Why? Because I started doing real squats!!!!

I have seen that there are some profiles on-line where people enter these very high numbers for the squatting stats and are proportionally very small in other areas! Something sounds a little fishy…..

Today, I was reading a thread http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=5129863 , where a lot of people say that they don’t squat or are afraid to….hmmmmm….

Then I wonder how could someone have legs like this guy (Beware he’s just a little preening) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63YW8QNOnK4 get legs by doing squats where you only go down about 3 inches and come back up??!?!??!!?

Hmm…. something else to perplex the mind. Question to members? Do you squat? Is it a full squat? Half a squat? Part of squat? Why do you do that type? If you do it at all? I am geniunely interested, so all comments will help.
See ya when I see ya

Just a few months ago I would wake up in the morning….take a look at the mirror and see good definition and seperation in my abs and thought to myself man…I’m lovin this!!!

Hmm….now??? now so much.

The profile pic that you see was taken about three days ago flexed. Now, I wake up in the morning and my stomach is just out…no definition….no seperation…no nothing. Did I also mention that I am at 206 in weight now?

Eureka! I’m pregnant!!!

Then too maybe not.

(5:15AM) Unfortuantely, the only magic potion I know of is called  Hard work!!!!. So, that’s what I did today. So much so that I was sweating and exhausted after the workout…so this is what it was

Warm-up

10lb arm rotations X 3

Superset

Front raises followed by lateral raises - 3 sets increasing poundage by 5 each set

Tri-set

Miltary press then Arnold press then dumbell upright rows - 4 sets increasing poundage by 5 each set

Tri-set 2

Barbell shoulder shrug  3 sets increasing poundage by 15 lbs then,

Dumbell shrug 3 sets increasing poundage by 20 lbs

Cable flyes 3 sets increasing poundage by 5 lbs.

(5:15AM) Plainly put…I expressed myself to the gym and did a moderately difficult back workout.

Now, here is my question…I need some serious help and the forums are a little complicated to seek real advice. Most of it is cluttered by sponsors.

Questions on creatine…..

Adopted from yesterday’s blog

So…in contrast to my earlier thoughts, I am thinking about taking creatine?????!?!?!? I am not a being fan of taking a lot of supplements. So, I want something that’s simple and will be a benefit to my current protein supplement. With all that being said,I need some advice folks…if you don’t mind leave me some comments about:

1. Should I take it or should I pass?

2. Is there something else I should be looking to take for increased power?

3.What’s a good brand or form of creatine to take?

4. What kind of experience have you had with it?

 You don’t have to answer all the questions, but hopefully they will give some guidance to what I am looking for.

Peace!

(5:32AM) So, last night after I got off work I did some chest workouts. My wife was telling me she liked big chest…and I was like "Mental note, work on chest". Although I should have been earlier, this just gave me some more motivation. Then this morning, I thought about these oak tree seeds I have been planting. So, I gave them some nourishment this morning by doing some squats,leg curls and hamstring curls, angle leg raises, donkey calfs and some other calf exercises.

(5:00AM) This morning I got up and happily shot off to the gym for the last work of the week. I am a little sore from a day or two ago from doing a back workout and my triceps are just a little sore from yesterdays arm blasting routine.

This morning I hit some squats 230 X 5 was the max. I tried to do more but the following routine told my legs that I would fall on the ground If I tried something else after this circuit:

(No rest in between these exercises, entire set performed 4 times)

Squats

Leg presses

Single leg extensions

Hanging Leg Raises

Weighted crunches

2nd Set

Calf Raises

Seated Calf raises

Side bends

leg raises

 That’s it for now folks! Be safe in the gym and happy workouts to ya! Update pictures will be coming soon. I hope that I don’t dissapoint some…because I have gained some weight….IT WAS ALL THAT WEDDING CAKE!!!!! LOL!!!!!

(5:15AM) Hitting the gym early is great because I tend to have the entire gym to myself! This morning, I tried to convince the wife to go with me but she was not really feeling that. So, off I went to do some upper and lower chest workout moves. I figured that I have done an alright job with other developments so I really need to work on those areas which I have not really paid attention to(e.g. chest).

So, until I write again folks…keeping my laughing, keep me informed, keep me motivated I will do the same for you. Holla!

(5:30AM) Jumped out of bed to hit the gym for the first time…in what feels like a long time. This past week I have been in Memphis putting on the finishing touches for, what turned out to be, a most awesome wedding!!!! Of course a most awesome wedding entailed these basic components 1. Lots of good southern food and 2. lots of alcohol….aaannnndddd I took part in as much as I could!!! Yea, I know….a bad choice.

But hey…life is lived one day at a time and you have to enjoy it while you can.

So, now back to the fit lifestyle…this morning I did light leg work. I did not want to jump in to heavy on my first day back. That’s all for now….peace out folks!!!
