Hey. I would like it if people would write in about how they keep up their motivation at the gym! My past two work outs I’ve done the workout and lifted heavier but I just was totally in another world with my mind. Thanks Officer K.

Damn. Today had to be the worst workout ever! First off, I worked over last night till 1130. So i was dead tired. Instead of getting up at 7 30 it was more like 8 20. So I took my pills and waited to take my protein shake. I took the shake but since I was out of skim milk I used my roomies 2%. Mistake one. God it was too thick and made my stomach feel like shit. Then I left to early to work out and the shake was still in my stomach. Mistake 2, I could feel the water going down my throat and sinking under the protein.I wanted to get sick. Problem 3, they took the CD player out of the gym. I had to use my cell phone to play songs and that doesnt pump me up its not loud enough. Problem 3 was I felt horrible all work out. When you realize you feel sick somethings wrong. For me, I know I need to use the restroom. Well it never went so I had to fight the get sick feeling for an hour.

Only bright side  was that even as bad as I felt and thought my work out sucked. I increased all my weights by 10 lbs. That felt good. Is it true strength to feel great and lift good. Or to feel like crap and lift heavier then when you feel great??

It’s been a few weeks since I started back to the gym full time. My diet consists of 6 to 10 meals a day. Some meals are just hand fill size snacks to keep something in my diet. Everything I eat now is organic. No more corn syrup for me. Blood sugar floats around to much. I also just picked up a liquid multivitamin. They enter your blood stream within minutes and nothing comes out in your urine. However, the downside is it tastes like hell and it green. Any ideas what to mix it with to drink?

I have two work outs for right now. Day 1 consists of Chest, Back and Shoulders. Incline bench press super set with pull ups. Dips super set with bent over back rows. Chest flyes super set with seated rows. Cable cross over super set with a different back row machine. Military press super set with "Halos" ( halos is my term for taking a kettlebell in both hands. Rotating it around your head in each directin for 10 cycles. It will burn all the shoulder muscles when you finsih it.) Thats basically day 1 in about 50mins to 1 hour.

Day 2 consists of Tripceps, Biceps, Abs and legs. These are big super sets so bare with me. Tricep cable extensions, hammer curls, hanging leg rasies and leg press as super set. Super set 2 is skull crushers, twisting side curls, legs curls, twisting hanging leg rasies and calf raises ( done with squat rack. Max is 10 calf rasies with 450lbs on the bar.) Super set 3 is single arm reverse tripcep extensions, hammer curls ( only from 90 degree upt o shoulder), and crunch machine weighted to 30 lbs. After all these I perform 1 burn out set of triceps and biceps.

All workouts being with a 6 minute stretch routine and end with the same routine. I’m working on my flexibility along with overall body balance from to back side to side. If any one has any ideas how to increase my workout tell me. I work out 2 days in a row. Take two off and then start back over. I increase around 5 to 10 lbs per workout on most exericses. I’m taking protein drinks before and after. Eating lots of chicken and lean meat. Organice rice, carrots, greens and organic snacks.  Let me know what you think of this.
