Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven’t responded or posted in a while, been extra busy. Life hit me with a 1-2-3 combo about 2 weeks ago. First, my car got towed visiting a friend. Then, I woke up one morning and my right shoulder wouldn’t stretch all the way. Next, the water pump in my car started leaking. Can anyone say $$$? Well needless to to say my wallet was hit with a figure upwards of $400. That meant things got a little tight.
With my shoulder hurting I didn’t want to risk tearing anything so I only worked on my abs and legs. I’ve seen noticeable progress in both areas, with my ab muscles becoming stronger and more defined. The only problem is that my chest has shrunk a little, causing my abs to stick out. A friend of mine pointed that out at the gym on Friday, but I quickly retorted that my "abs" stuck out while his "gut" hung. That was the end of that conversation LOL.
I also found out something else- be careful when working out with friends who have different goals than you.
One of my closet friends (his 6′4, I’m 5′4-go figure) trains hard. However, he trains to get stronger. I train to look good and maintain a models physique. I ended up doing his workout, and left the gym sore, as normal. Unfortunately I also realized that I didn’t get the results that I wanted (the next day it seems my chest sunk in even MORE than the previous day.)
I know its probably a psychological/mental thing, but I could sware its the truth. He’s one of thsoe guys who is stronger than he looks. I just want to look strong. Yes, I know its not the bodybuilding way, but I would be a cold hard liar if I said anything else.
Aside from all that, next week I will start a new regiment. I have finished NO-Xplode, cellmass and Lipo-6. I gave my body about a 2 week period where I didn’t use any of it. I started on Animal Pak about 2 weeks ago and Animal stack about 5 days ago. I plan on adding Animal Pump on Monday to supplement for my creatine usage. I think thats around 30-40 pills I wll be taking a DAY. If my calculations are correct, I should be able to substitue an entire meal from the consumption of those pills alone.
my new workout will start with 1.5 miles on the bike instead of the previous 3. It will be the same regiment (Mon-chest/abs, Weds-Shoulders/Bis/tris/back,Fri-Abs/Lowerbody). I plan on modifying my ab routine just slightly, doing more toning now than anything else, except for the workouts on the obliques and the V-Shape area. I have decided to increase my weight goal from 148~150 (current) to 160. I know this means eating more food, which is tricky, as I don’t want to become bloated. The results of my last "bulking phase" was horrible at best, so I plan on making this as moderate as possible.
