So today was Bi’s and Tri’s, probabley my favorite day of the week. I started off with  Straight Bar Curls 2(4-6) then Alternating Dumbbell Curls 2(8-10) then Curl Bar Curls 2(8-10). For Tri’s I did Lying Triceps extensions  2(4-6) then Close Grip Bench 2(8-10) then one set of one arm over head extensions for 8-10.

Over all it was pretty good, not as good as I expected though. I just didn’t feel that great. But it still was good, there’s nothing like that pump you get when doing bi’s and tri’s on the same day. Tomorrow Back and Traps, we will see how that goes.

Alright so even though it hasen’t rained since like 2 sundays ago, the basement of the gym is flooded. Of course the upstairs is open, with all the things I don’t use. Becuase of this I have had to lift at home. Yesterday I did shoulders and Abs. For shoulders I did 2 sets of Standing Militarys to start (4-6 reps) then 1 set of Seated Dumbbell Press (4-6) then 2 sets of Alrond Press (8-10) and then 2 sets of side laterals (8-10). It was pretty was a pretty good work out.

I just got done with legs…it was insane. I couldn’t do the work out I planned on doing because I had to do it at home. Instead I did 9 sets of squats and 3 sets of standing calf raises and I am dead. The first 3 sets were 4-6 then the next 3 were 6-8 then i finished off with 3 sets of front squats for 8-10. Needless to say, it was pretty rough, espeacilly because I have no been feeling good latley, particuarly today. On a possitive not I was able to go up 5 pounds on my 2nd set of squats which I am pretty happy with.

Well, thats about it. Tomorrow is bi’s and tri’s….hopfully the damn gym will be open.

I’m not sure what’s going on, but my cardio lately has just been really rough. I just haven’t been able to get very far on the bike, I have been gassing really early and my legs just won’t seem to move as fast. For a while the sessions where really good, but the last week I’ve been struggling a lot. I think it is because the lack of sleep that I have been getting, I just have no energy.  I’m not all that concerned about it though, as long as I am pushing it do the max that’s really all that matters. I can’t help but be a little frustrated though

Alright so after about 9 weeks of hard training, my week off is this week. I don’t like taking a week off, but I think it is good for you both mentally and physically. As much as I don’t want to take off, it couldn’t have come at a better time. My body has just been crapping out on me in the last week or 2. My back has been falling apart, so it will be good to take the week off and recover. I am also going to be super busy this week because my band is playing in my school’s "talent show" this coming Friday and we need to get some last minute practice in.

When I get back from my week off I am going to try out some new routines and just experiment a little bit. I have been on Max-OT since February of last year and while it has given me some results, I think that they could have been better with how good my diet and everything is. For the first couple week I’m just going to mess around with rep ranges and maybe throw in some new exercises and see what that does for me. I still plan on training body parts once per week on a 5 day on, 2 off split because that works best for with with school and work. I will see what happens with that and then maybe try something else. Anyway, I will be posting how my work outs go, if anyone cares. Peace
