Dave’s Body

Yesterday I took a big step toward reaching my fitness goals. I joined a gym. Most of you wouldn’t see this as anything big but I haven’t been in a gym for years. I’ve been training in my garage and the winter months have been a time to slack off when it’s gotten too cold. No excuses this year, I now have a gym membership. I’ve also changed up my routine, I’m now training Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays alternating upper and lower body. So it will be; Mon: upper body, Wed: lower body, Fri: upper body, Mon: lower body etc… I’m going to stay with this until after the Holidays when I cut again for a few weeks. I’m researching what fat burner to try and will post the results on my Bodyspace page.

I used Methyl 1-D and 1-GH-1from Legal Gear for 4 weeks then  Tribulus, Chrysin and creatine for 4 weeks. Basically I gained 4 pounds of lean mass in 8 weeks. Which is about a half of pound per week. This in itself is not something that couldn’t  be done with good nutrition and proper training but I did feel that my body felt somewhat harder. I will post a more in depth review in the supplement review area on my bodyspace page.

 I’ve been having some computer problems lately so I haven’t been online. This is supposed to be the last week of an 8 week push to add muscle. My training has been good up until a couple of days ago. I committed the un-pardonable sin, I didn’t warm up properly. The bad part is that I knew better. You see I was going to put a bar up on a rack that had 230 pounds on it. I was doing chest so I hadn’t warmed up my back. It was just a measely 230 pound deadlift up to the power rack and I wouldn’t have to unload the bar. Then I thought  " you should unload that bar, It will take longer but you will avoid injury". Did I listen to myself? Of course not or I wouldn’t have this pulled muscle in my back. I can barely do anything that requires my right arm to be over my head. Good thing this is the last week. I’m going to take next week off then scale back my workouts and diet for the Holidays. There is one thing that I plan to do different this year though, look into getting a gym membership for the winter. You see I work out in my garage and in recent years when it would get cold I would use that as an excuse to slack off for the winter. And as you know, the longer you lay off, the easier it gets to stay off. It’s my intention to not let that happen again this year. At the end of this week I will post reviews of the supplements that I’ve been using.
