The Body I Deserve (May 20 2008)
I left work a bit early today, got home, consumed one scoop of Whiteflood for an explosive workout, and about 15 minutes later, my cellphone rang it was work related. I felt the energy all over my body, and I started to realized I wasn’t talking in my normal voice, I was loud. I think the other person over the phone felt the same way. I think I was a bit rude when I said "What do you mean he is not going to be here tomorrow?" Oops. Blame it on the Whiteflood.
Today workout focused directly on back, and biceps. I found two great machines that did their job and I’m going to incorporate them into my workout. I like dumbbells but sometime I feel as if I didn’t get the form right, therefore, sometime I don’t feel the burn. But with machines, I felt they targeted directly to where I want to work on. I did work on abs and oblique a bit, then i headed over and did bench press. I know, it’s not Chest day, but I do want to get the form correct. I did 3 set with 10lbs on each side. I struggled a bit on the last set, I can’t seem to balance the bar. Today was actually the first day i did curl using barbell, I did 12 then 8, then 6, then 5 with a 30lbs barbell, I couldn’t do anymore. Then I completed the workout with a 30 minutes cardio, my legs was tired, and I was tired, I did managed to keep the heart-rate around 75%, but I was exhausted after the workout, I mean worn out completely.
While on the treadmill, I smelled something funky, and I was wondering if was the person that just got on after me, but then I realized it was me…SAD. I was completely soaked in sweat. 30 minutes later, I stretched then consumed 1 bottle of cold water, and was resting.
I am thinking of taking a day off tomorrow, I’m exhausted. I did felt a bit leaner today. My friends have been asking if I want to go out for Happy hours on Thursday, and I just answered them "No". I asked them to do what, they said "EAT and DRINK". Nope, no interest.
I like the feeling of being fit every mornings. I like the feeling of being able to put on clothes and not having to worry about belly jelly sticking out. I like positive comments received from others. I like to see the great transformation in me. I like to have a muscular body. Too many things that I like; therefore, I’m not going give them all up for just some short fun time.

Hey, howdy?
Don’t worry about not being able to balance the bar, it comes with practice. You arms and neural system will catch up quickly.
Focus on good form, keeping your upper arms (biceps-triceps) at 90 degrees with your torso - like a T) to hit your chest to the max (the more you tuck them on your sides, the more it’ll hit your triceps), and squeeze!
Cheers!
