The headcold is slowing me a lil bit, I’m a snotmonstah.

Pyramid set, bench 110×15, 160 x 10, 180 x8, 220×1, 180×4, 160 x8, 110 x 20 (2). That tired me out. Then did standing dbell curls, super with cable pull downs, 5 sets and then 4 sets of concentration 21’s and then I ran outa gas.  I did cardio this morning 20 min on treadmill hillclimb and 15 minutes bike. My wind is not what it could be.  Feeling yesterday leg workout now… im gonna be sore tmrw!

I have a headcold courtesy of a flight from LA to NYC.  Actually decided to take a red eye to ensure I could get a workout in because I was feeling guily.  I stayed at the Hilton in Universal City, which had a crummy lil gym, made up of dbells and one cable apparatus.   Yeeesh crapppy!

That was last week, today, even with a snothead, decided I needed to hit it.  I did quadzilla, (see earlier post, high reps heavy leg press), leg extensions, sumo squats (thanks superstar!) and finally 2 calf moves.  Weights were good for me and got a good session in.

Actually don’t know what week this is of non smoking! I have lost the count.  I am definately over the worst of it and find it hard to beleive it took me this long to quit.  As of december 8 I was 15 months liquor free and 3 months smoke free.  I feel free.

I am a lil concerned about the weight gain.  Most is muscle (i keep telling myself this) but my waist is up about 1.5" from a couple of months ago.  I’m eating clean, just eating alot. I will cut back on cals if i add more to the belt line.  I just want to be finished with the smokes first and address the weight second.

I feel good. Strong, Like bull. Best Rob

Well usually chest is tuesday, but i have to fly tmrw to LA. Didn’t want to do heavy legs and spend all day tmrw in a cramped aircraft.

Flat Bench,  140 x12, 160 x10, 180×6, 200 x 3, 215 x2, 180 x5, 140 x10, 90 x20, giant of hammer curls, skullcrushers, wide slow flys.  4 sets around 12-15 reps each, super set standing curls and dips, 4 sets 10 reps to 6 reps decending.  Did morning cardio, 20 minutes hill climb, 10 minutes speedbike and 10 minutes on the womens machine from hell. 

My wieght continues to rise. I have one hell of an appetite of 3 months (today) of no smoking. (Yea for me!) I have put on almost 20 pounds since I tweaked the diet and started the whole body program.  I am eating clean, just eating alot!  I will worry about more when someone actually want/gets to see my belly.  Please inquire at … just kidding…maybe

Still not smoking, tomorrow starts week 15.  I played bass at a private function last nite, have played this function the last three years.  I mentioned to a band mate how cold the same night was last year.  She looked at me and said "It’s because your not nipping out at every opportunity for a smoke, it’s actually colder this year you dolt".  Huh, unintended benefits.

Note to self, no morning cardio if you are going to be responsible for others rockin thier ass off until midnite.  I was getting pooped!

Im back on second course of 5×5 whole body 3x times a week and moring "wakeups" (Light hill climb and 10 mintes all out bike, abs on the ball) every morning. Its working good.

Starting to get a lil concerned on weight gain, i have put on 15 pounds since July.  The calipers say it is a t the expense of 2$ body fat.  I’m not going to worry yet, everyone thinks i look better then July pics carrying more weight up top.
