Out of reach.  I wanted to run a 20:30, 3 mile.  I crossed the line at 20:40.  I look back and don’t see where I could have made up the 10 seconds.  I guess there is always the next time.  I did get the max on dead hang pull ups (20) and the max on the crunches in 2 mins (100).  My score on the PFT was a 284 out of a perfect 300.  Not bad considering the young Marines have a hard time keeping up with that.  My next run time goal is going to be to shave 40 seconds and get down to a 20 flat.

Today started just like everyday.  I woke at 0430 and was doing Marine Corps PT by 0500.  Went started with a little 3 mile run with some thrashing of bodies in between.  After the PT session I went to the gym and push myself to the limit.  After my 2 workouts I did a max set of wide grip dead hand pullups (like I do after every workout).  I was able to rep out 27.  I am getting back to the shaped I was in when I was 22.  I am about to be 33.  Shouldn’t I be slowing down.  Never!

I had to run my Physical Fitness Test today.  It consist of a 3 mile run, pull-ups and max crunches in 2 mins.  Well, I ate out last night at the local Mexican joint and had a few beers to drink.  Not a good idea.  I did my max of 20 pull-ups, and got 100 crunches in 49 seconds.  Now when it came to the run, it was a different story.  I thought for sure I was going to bite the dust.  I ran a 22:35, 3 mile.  Not to fast but, it was dramatic.  I felt a heat stroke in the making.  I will not drink that much again when I know it is going to be 80 degrees with 100% humidity at 7am.  Water not beer is my lesson learned(again).

I am going to Panama City this weekend for the Southern USA Classic.  I will be cheering on my boy DMitch (Mr. Pensacola).  Whos coming with me?

I have been on MHP’s T-Bomb II and SARMx for 2 weeks now.  I am also taking NaNO Vapor.  Taking this is making me feel as if I am superman in the gym.  Today, I just kept the weight coming and could not get tired.  I found myself pushing way past some personal limits.  I have not experienced anything like it.  The Marines that I work with said they are going to have to drug test me if I keep it up.  They are kidding, I hope.

Monday was my first day back since my shoulder injury at the end of August.  I am on a new mass workout and I am loving it.  I have a partner now and we are pushing each other to the point of being sick.  The busted blood vessels, throwing up, the shacks and all that good stuff is something I have been missing.  Now I am back to it.  I am going to push it and see how much size I can put on over the winter.  I am hoping to hit the 200 mark.  I have never been there, YET.  The hard thing for me is keeping with my diet.  I can follow it for a week really well, then I start to slip.  Well, I will keep ya’ll posted on my progress.

I was doing my third set of barbell shrugs with 405 today and on my 8th rep, something didn’t feel right so I racked it.  Now I have this bad pain in my right shoulder/colar bone area.  The pain is nasty.  I guess I am lucky I have the weekend to rest.  Maybe someone has had this and can tell me what it was and what they did for the pain.  I am really hard headed and don’t like to give up so, I will push myself until the arm falls off.  I hope it is just something small.  I have a big golf tournament in Myrtle Beach at the end of the month and don’t want to be injured for that.  Rest or Push It?  Only time will tell.

I started taking the MuscleTech, NaNo Vapor today.  Man, this stuff is good.  The one thing that was driving me nuts the whole workout was the tingle of my body.  I guess the warning says it all.  I just didn’t think it was going to be that bad.  I am willing to do what it takes to put on size so, if I have to put up with my body itching, let it itch and I will scratch. 

I am in the process of moving and realized I have a ton of old FLEX mags.  I was wondering if anyone might be intrested in getting some of them from me.  Just make me an offer.  I have 2002-Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, and Nov.  2003- Every month but, Jan.  2004-all but Aug.  2005-Jan, Feb, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec.  2006- All but Sep.  2007- Jan to Jul.

I have noticed that I have not be wanting to go to the gym or stick to any kind of diet lately.  I am wondering if I am getting lazy or should I just change my freakin workout program.  If anyone has an idea for me, I would love to hear it.
