Well, I got a pair of Wal-Mart Dumbells and The Perfect Push-up handle thingys. (I know, I fell for it !!! ) They are a total of 40 lbs per d-bell.

I have modified a workout from the past. I am doing a full body workout using only the dumbells and the push-up handles. I am concentrating on my biceps and shoulders (medial delts and traps) so I have adjusted the workouts accordingly.

   I am sore a few days later (DOMS, I guess) and it feels GREAT !!!! I have a new outlook on life and will post up pics later.

  My weight has gone up in the last 2 months. I have replaced 2 meals with Body Fortress Protein Powder in Vanilla (also from Wal-Mart…not a plug ! But would appreciate them sponsoring me in this "Journey") due to traveling to/from work ( an hour and a half drive each way ). So, there went 2 solid meals. LMAO !!! However, it has put on a few pounds on me. Some of them were good pounds.

   My shoulders are getting a bit bigger. I would like to get a full olympic weight set and an adjustable bench with a rack for the bar. That way I could get my behind the neck presses back into the workout (They seem to get my traps and delts a bit bigger, at least that’s where I feel ‘em.)

  As far as my biceps, they are starting to get some actual shape to them. I had to mess around with different angles and hand positioning, before I got d-bell curls to work just my biceps, but it was worth it. I also am not using as much weight as before, concentrating on proper form (especially since changing the way I do the exercises), instead of just lifting the weight. I have adopted a more "Bodybuilding" mentality, instead of my old "powerlifting" style. I think that it has helped me in the last few months. I will continue to use this type of thinking for a while.

  Anyway, that’s it for now. I will update my workout on my page. I hope that others will read it and possibly use it successfully to update their workouts or goals.

Good Luck to us all !!!
