Transformer in training

So, I have come to the conclusion that:

1. I am definetly stronger than before

2. I have potential to look like a bodybuilder

3. I really don’t know how to diet well.

All of those conclusions, have lead me to look around the net for advice on tightening up my look. There is this one guy called swatdog here on bodyspace has the physique is about the weight that i am trying to maintain. But, he obviously has mastered this concept long time ago and has some kind of secret ancient knowledge that helps him to maintain so well. Anyhow, I look on the net and so that carb loading and delpleting is a huge key? However, I think my patience or my lack of attention, since my school is currently playing on tv and getting stomped by Missouri, is not allowing me to comprehend this very well.

Here is what I would like from you the reader…help please…any suggestions whether it be diet or exercise will be greatly appreciated.

Peace out folks!

Soo….how many of you clicked on this journal thinking I was going to say something besides I had a killer leg and glute workout??? Awww..if you did….shame on you.

So yea, I went to the gym…put on some major weight….did some super sets…sweated up a storm and got the hello out.Today, I feel the workout from yesterday…yikes!!!!

Yea that’s me…every once in a while, I get these spurts of excitement about exercising and swimming in particular. Swimming is awesome because it’s easy on the joints and when you’re in the water you can just let your mind wander…it’s just fantastic!!! After a while, you’re breathing hard, you’ve gotten in a good cardio workout and had good time to just let go!!!! Today I think swam about a mile or so….after about 30 laps I really stop counting and was just be a swimming fool.

So, I’m still here folks still in the game on this quest that most people are still beating me at called bodybuilding. One day I’m gonna start trump some of you jokers…then maybe I can get on the front page of the site!!!!LOL!!! Sike…I really could care less about being on the front page.

Peace out folks tommorow is the first day of spring….Thank the Lord!!!!!

(9:20AM) So, I know that I change my status a lot…like a whole lot. Some days I am excited about the gym and lifting and all other kinds of things…and then some days it’s like….Damn…do I have to do this?

Most recently school has kind of shut me down on the mental end and working has completed the same task on the physical end. Somewhere in between those two paradigms, the amount of time that I have to do things has just vanished!

So, if you see me changing here and there understand that it’s really school and quite possibly lent that is making me be so wishy washy…but no I don’t have a mental problem. LOL!!!!! Just a time management…I kind wish I was the Jeanie off of ‘I dream of Jeanie’ so that I could blink and have my homework done kinda of problem. LOL!!!!

Happy lifting folks. Keep posting pictures,blogs, workouts and other updates to help me stay motivated. Peace!

For millions across the world, this time of year is a special…yes my friends it’s lent. Man…and the fact that I am catholic does not make this situation any better. So,today is Friday which means that thing #2 meat won’t be eaten today. I already gave up what use to be my favorite past time back in the day….hard core liquor especially that one where the soldier is on guard until every bottle is opened…the one…the only…good only home state whiskey…Jack Daniels.

In other words, no harcore liquor may be a little beer but not even that. But dang…no meat!!! Man….I think all this lent stuff is about to, or maybe already have, make me go delirious. Peace out gotta find something to eat.

Imagine someone, in a dark place (Your kitchen or home gym or locker room)…carefully measuring an oz of this, a scoop of that, and a cup of this into a powdery concoction destined to make you Citius, Altius, Fortius!!!! Well, thats what I think of when I see people taking pictures with so many supplements that the human person in the photo barely has room to get in the picture or when I look at a profile and the supplement list is so long that it reads like an epic!

So, now I’m against supplements right?!?!!? Wrong!!! I whole heartedly agree with the use of supplements. I have used them myself in the past. But, as I take this constant journey called bodybuilding…I am constantly amazed at how much people rely on supplements to get them where they want to be. What makes me even more perplexed is how people are killing (in the, they are showing up looking way better) other men in bodybuilding contest with all of these supplements.

Have we really got to the point of where there is a small amount of hope for reality vs.the dream world. I mean…here is what I am thinking:

1. The main reason I have come to this conclusion is because I can’t afford all of those darn supplements.

2. Even if I could…what kind of affect would those supplements have on my body in the long run?

3.Consistently buying supplements to give you harder pumps, more vascularity, more strength, a larger penis, larger legs, larger neck, whiter teeth, bigger chest, bigger fingers…..is just crazy.

4. Do you feel as good about your achievements after using all of that? Do you feel good because of your image…or how it makes you feel on the inside?

5. If you were blind….would you still do what you are doing now with some assitance?

6. To be truthful…I’m a little jealous because I probably won’t ever be at the same status most bodybuilders are (Strength wise…screw the looks).

7. Will you still be taking these supplements when you are 50,60,70,80?

Things are better in moderation.

As of today, I’m not the bodybuilding chemist…you can tell from my looks and my profile. This is just some random thoughts..to be forever floating in cyberspace to hopefully remind people that not everyone was born to be a chemist…but they were born to be themselves.

NOTICE

People who use a lot of supplements…I am not calling you out…and this is not a personal attack, just my own thoughts.

Obviously we do… So today, I am doing some front squats on the rack machine supersetting them with some glute squats and the gym attendant comes to tell me that I cannot wear the pair of shorts that I got on again because they have rivets in them. So, for those who are like hugh?? You know when you but a pair of swimming shorts for like the beach they may have like those little metal circular things in them….yea…some of those.So, I am like"Okay…wow I didn’t know that." I’m pretty sure no body else did eitheir…anyhow..I’m off to the store to get some "gym certified" shorts..I wonder can she tell the weirdos with shirts that are too small, that those shirts may cause breathing or circulation problems…or people with the really tight shorts that it might stop you from having kids…Okay okay…I’ll leave it alone.
