Well today at the Gym was a good one…just for my own curiousity I wanted to see what my Bodyfat was at, I had it measured with one of those electronic hand held gizzmos, as I have in the past.  Well today I’ve dropped down to 20.0%!

I’m starting to become addicted to the weight room, trying a new exercise almost daily.   I’m trying to keep things balanced, constantly reading articles from Bodybuilding.com, let’s just say I’m "home schooling" myself.

Feel free to look over my routines any and all feedback is welcome and needed.

 Trying to take it to the next level, for something that started out for the "health" of it, I"m hooked.

Ok…just for shit’s and giggles I got the tape back out just to see…wow, it’s really starting to work, working out is a good thing….my tape is getting stretched tighter and the shirts are starting to show the signs of ’swelling’ under the shoulders and in the arms,  Quads, who would have thunk it,  they are starting to show signs of definition!

 I’ll see how we’re doing in the next two weeks,  I’ll get the tape back out and hopefully make the numbers grow xcept for my waist…that can start to go down anytime.

Til the next time,

Mike

Well, a start of another week,  fired up and ready to go…just waiting for all the "government" employees to get out of the gym and go home to eat cookies or watch TV.  MLK day…I’m at my office right now working hard at looking like I’m working.

The goal of this week in to increase weight, not reps,  don’t get me wrong I don’t want to just push something or pull something 1X and call it a set…my Min is 4X…my Max 10X.  If I can preform at more than 10X per set then the weight is to low.  I want to "feel" some pressure, some pain, and some progress.  Lately I haven’t been to sore the day after, and if you look at my workout history then you’ll notice that I tend to go everyday and target the same muscles by doing the same exercises over and over…getting kind of bored.  I don’t want to get bored or burnt with my exercise, I want be excited to go each and every day…I want to be rock hard, I"m going to be rock hard, and I’m going to achieve this week’s goal come Hell (that would be a stretch since it’s 12 degrees outside) or High Water (well since the lakes are frozen, no problem there).

I’ll check back in Mid Week to let you in on my progress…any tips or suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Have a good one,

Mike
