Went to to the gym this morning.  I did back , biceps and abs.  Over the past few days I have a couple of great workouts! I have been full of energy and little to no muscle fatigue.  I was able to increase weight doing back and biceps.  I increased weight while doing seated rows, and dual pulley rows.  I also increased  weight with  the cable curl  and dumbbell preacher curls.  Afterwards I was full of energy and feel great.  To everyone who celebrates Orthodox Easter this Sunday, have a Happy Easter! I have Sunday off and will be celebrating with my family.  Later.

I could not wait to get out of work for the week and hit the gym.  Its been a week from hell.  I found out Monday that my pay plan is changing and I am going to take a big pay hit.  I have a lot of tough decisions to make over the next few weeks.   I did shoulders and legs.  It was a great workout. I  had a lot of energy and went up in weight during my leg workout.  However wile doing leg extensions my legs had no energy and hit failure big time.I could only do 9 reps at 145 lbs and had to drop to 140 lbs for the forth set.  I soon recovered  and finished my workout strong.  Now I am going to hit the shower and go to bed.  Later.

I woke up this morning and went the on the scale.  I am now up to 159.5 lbs. N-Large-2 is working great!  I went to the gym this morning and did back, biceps and abs.  I also did 13 minutes on the treadmill.  I haven’t  been doing cardio for a while so I am going to start doing it about twice a week.  My workout was great.  I went to bed early last night and had a lot of energy this morning.  I went up in weight while doing biceps.  For the first time in a while I did not feel any muscle fatigue or soreness. I feel great right now and am making steady progress. Later

The day off on Wednesday did me good.  I work up, went to the gym and had a great shoulder and leg workout.  I hardly had any shoulder pain and felt great after the workout.  I went up in squats, leg press and calf extensions.

Last night I went out to dinner with my parents.  They wanted Chinese food which is not the most healthy.  My mom asked me what I wanted, and I made sure it was somewhat healthy, no spareribs, pork fries rice or chicken fingers. We got beef and veggies and vegetable rice.

This morning  Did chest and tries.  I went up in weight with a couple of triceps exercise. I feel great right now and have a lot of energy this morning.  As an added bonus its a grea day outside.  I might go for a walk this afternoon.  Later!

Usually at this time of night I am on Wednesday I am at the gym. Tonight I decided to take the night off. This is the first time in over a month that I won’t be able to go to the gym 4 days this week.  I have been feeling a little sore in my shoulder and back for the past few days.  Its also been a long week at work.  I had early meetings all week so I had could not sleep in at all.  Also today my managers were bitching at us all day.  No mood to work out. So tonight I am going to get to bed early tonight so I can get up early to go to the gym and work my butt off tomorrow.Before I do that I am going to order more N large 2 and Animal pack. N Large 3 has worked great! I have been gaining weight over the past couple of weeks.  Have a good night. Later.

Went to the gym this morning. Did Chest, Tries and Abs.  I hit the gym at the right time.  It was a ghost town there.  Even the cardio machines were empty.  The workout started out well. Bench press went good. I started with lighter weights and went up.  Inclined press went well also, I really could feel it.  Then as I was doing cables the pain in my rotator cuff again.  and lingered through out the rest of my workout. This afternoon I  read a few articles on rotator cuff exercises.  I am going to start doing a few of these on shoulder days.  Hopefully it will work.  If not I will go and see the doctor. Have a good weekend everyone! My work week starts tomorrow.  Yeah Later.

I got to the gym this morning.  I wanted to sleep in but I had some furniture delivered this morning  real early, could not get back to sleep so I hit the gym early. I did shoulders, legs and abs.  It was a good workout. Shoulders went well I went up with overhead shoulder press. Legs also went well.I went up in leg press.  I can tell I am making progress ever since I added a 4th day to my workout about a month ago.  Now I am just doing relaxing a bit before I have lunch.  Its a great day. Its going to be around 70 today.  Later

Went to the gym this morning. Did chest triceps and abs.  It was a tough to get going.  Mentally I was not it in.  I have a meeting this afternoon and I don’t think its going to be good.  Some people in my group haven’t done what they should be doing. I know I’ll be okay, but the anticipation of the meeting had been on my mind this morning. I dropped weight with bench, so I could concentrate on form.  My rotator cuff acted up again as I was doing cable crossovers.  Triceps went well.  Now I am having an early lunch before I head into work. Later.

So much for the nice spring weather of yesterday. Today is damp,cool,yuck!  Went to the gym this morning did Shoulders, Legs and Abs.  I have been trying to change my shoulder routine a little bit.  Its seems like it takes me forever to increase weight when I do shoulders.    Legs went well.  I can tell that I am consistently progressing with legs. Any feedback on shoulders would be greatly appreciated. Later!

Went back to the gym this morning. I feel a lot better than i did last night.  Mentally I felt better especially after getting a good nights sleep. I did back, biceps and abs. I was a lot more focused so I had an overall better workout. I pushed myself to add more weight to keep up the momentum I have had over the past few weeks. I felt a lot better when I left the gym.  Also I have gained a couple of pounds this week. I have been stuck around 155 for a bout a week or two now I am around 157.  For me this is big. I am a very hard gainer.  On top of it all its getting warmer! Its in the mid to high 50’s yeepee!   I know you guys in warmer parts must think I’m nuts but its starting to finally feel like spring up in MA.  Later!
