OOOOHHHHHH YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAA!! The Minister of Pain is back Ya'll!!!

Get ready for some ass whoopin, heart racing, hand shredding, knuckle bleeding, I can't sit ont he toilet bowl because I maxed out on my squats and dealifts this week workouts!!

Thats right Ive finally gotten around to the journal section here! I have been hitting the gym regularly but nothing worth posting and no strict routine just hitting each muscle group and doing what i have to do. Now that I have gone back to school and work is no longer rotating I have a set schedual I have decided to get back in here!

I'll be adding straight MASS!!! Dont really care about my waist line to be honest with ya! I have been dieting and maintaining for so long I'm sick of it and I want to get back to where I use to be...Mr. My shoulders touch my ears and I have no neck, Mr. I have to put my belt on before I put my pants on, Mr. ahh well you get the point. This was my first week of the new routine and I enjoyed it!

I'll be posting this weeks workouts as well as my new routine i came up with for everyone later on tonight! See ya soon!

The only thing I wont be doing is maxing out on deads next week...I just wanted to see where I stood from conventional deads since I haven't done them in almost a year. I normall do rack deads.

My goal is to gain mass but also build my hamstrings and delts/traps to catch up to the rest of my body. My hamstrings are really weak and need to get strong so my deadlifts can go up smoother.

Other then that this is this months routine!

Posted by: Archangel

Bolt, Great lookin workouts, hows the shoulder???

Posted by: DeadBolt

Thanks buddy...its holding up but it still lets me know its not 100% every few days! I haven't done alot of these movements in years like dips and upright rows so I have decieded to try and add some of the old movements in and see if I can strengthen the shoulder up a bit.

Posted by: Burner02

Look like you're still pretty strong, brotha!

It is what it is.
You should come over and find out. pay off that truck, any debts you have built up and stash away some $$.
Forgive my memory...do you still have the GF or are you single? If you're single...effin A...get over here and change your stars, bud. Life is good when you are out of the hole and on top of things...everyday is a beautiful day...

Seriously....if you want out of that place...get out. This is a jump off way for a lot of people. Spend a year...2-3 if you're single amass some wealth and pick where and what you want to do. You want t ogo back to school? Save up what a degree whill cost you...school, housing, spending...stash it...go back and get that degree. You want toys? Save up for those and buy n cash.
I actually like the college idea...will have to thinkify about that one myself...
i hated that RUT I was in. Wake up in debt, go to work in debt...go home in debt and repeat. barely tapping away at the debt, watching my life go by. Im almost friggin' 39. I decided to do something about it. You are way younger.
If you have the GF and want to make a go of it together....there are places where both of you can work and make good money.
Something to think about.
Do you want to say: Same shit...different year? You can change your life inside a year here. Think about it.

Posted by: Burner02

nice, full workout. How are the legs treating you today?

No worries on coming over here. Its not for everybody.

Posted by: Burner02

hmm...I think you may have inspired me...I've always regretted not finishing my bachelors. I may save up enough to live off...as well as I'm able to use unemployment after this....and go back to school.
maybe business management w/ a journalism minor? That may be good...

Posted by: DeadBolt

Legs are feeling it but I'm beat up from all this chainsawing!

I cut down an 80 foot oak and had to cut 2" rounds out of the entire thing! OOOOOOFFFFAAAA!!

I borrowed a buddied 32" chainsaw...yea its a fuckin man eater! Took me 5 hours this afternoon but i got it all down now my back is shot and I've lost the hearing out of my left ear. Man I pray it comes back!

Now i'll wash up and hit the gym! I know I'm sick!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Well yesterdays workout sucked...first bad workout in a long time. I was dead tired from cuttin that damn tree thrn 5 min before I left everyone decided to piss me off and I was just off my game. I wanted to go heavy but my body was saying no and my mind was fighting the both of us!

Ill post it later bc its my first day back in school and I'm waiting for class to start. Not sure if I can workout between my two classes today ill try to fit it in between shifts this week but from now on I'll get up early and get it done.

So far so good found where I needed to go lol but I feel out of it been 5 years since I've been in school I have to adjust lol.

UPDATE: still can't hear out of my left ear if its not back soon I will go to the doctor and from what I read if it doesn't come back its gone forever. I hope I'm not 90% deaf in my left ear forever!

Posted by: Archangel

No, it didn't suck, you basically did 2 workouts back to back, and did not let your body recover, thats more than ALOT of people do in a week!!!

Give it a few weeks before giving up on the early AM workouts. It took me several weeks to change from an evening person to an early morning one.

If it were me, I'd do the back stuff before the shoulders unless you are trying to prioritize the delts. It might help when doing heavy DLs.

Posted by: DeadBolt

The bad part is I train monday tuesday and wensday. Monday and tuesday i train afternoon/evening then wensday i train early morning so its not like a constant thing just that one annoying day LOL. Hopefully my body will just say the hell with it and cooperate!

As for delts yes I am prioratizing them...they need some major help lol.

Oh hell no its not LOL...I was dragging ass so bad it wasn't even funny! I'll get the hang of it though maybe a small coffee before will do the trick who knows!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Well my first rest day didn't turn out to be so restfull...went to work and ran on all night! Busy real busy! To top it off an auto injector epi-pen shot off in my hand and stuck in the bone of my thumb.

For those of you who dont know what epi aka epinephrine is its pure friggin adrenalin! Its what brings dead people back to life and i had a full dose of it last night. I was flying sky hi for about 20 minutes feeling like god but then it crashed and the pain started!

I was sick as a dog and wanted to cut my hand off...I lsot all blood flow to the hand...its a vasocontrictor...and after 3 hours it didn't come back so I ran to one of the ER doctors and he said to heat my hand to almost cooking temperature and I got the blood flow back but it fuckin hurt!

Now the whole hand is numb but the pain aint that bad. I'm gearing up for work now LOL.

So tip of the day when an irate mother with a needle full of ass kickin adrenalin runs in the room dont say let me see that needle ma'am!

It wasn't my best effort with tri's but I got it done...I could have done better if I was fresh.

Jeesh, for being tired, that was an excellent w/o my Friend!!!

Posted by: DeadBolt

thanks mike...i just got home from work so its off to eat shower and hit the gym for legs/tri's!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Today was both good and bad...I was tired of my same routine (work, sleep, school work, school, try to squeeze a workout it) so I said fuck it let me get the gym done before I sleep. well I had some coffee and didn't eat...wasn't hungry.

Halfways through the workout after some heavy squats I just shut down started to shake and got dizzy...decided to finish quads and post pone hamstrings. I just dont feel right and I'm not sure if its the creatine I started 4 days ago, the lack of sleep/food or the coffee that messed me up. Either way i had a phenominal workout up to that point and didn't want to get stupid...see as I age I do get a little smarter!

Wish this gym had a couple more pieces of equipment....would be....nice.....

Posted by: Triple Threat

I've heard of sumo DLs, but what are sumo squats?

Posted by: DeadBolt

mike yea them are seated...

TTT same as the deadlifts just in a squat...real wide legged and get deep.

not sure if its a legit movement but I do them for work to mimic the movement i do to lift my stretchers. if it aint a common movememnt hellit should be...they kick your ass. really hits the hip flexors and hams good...quads get hit good but they do me good and i enjoy them.

probably b/c they take the back out of it alot more and my poor foot alignment doesnt affect my squating.

Excellent workouts Bolt, how do the sumo squats feel on the hips??? Keep it up my Friend, lookin SOLID!!!

Posted by: Burner02

Nice inclines I can't get the bar to come down much below my chin before delts start screaming on that exercise...

Posted by: DeadBolt

Burner same here bro...it hurts like a SOB but I am determined to work through the pain...Ive given my shoulders plenty of tiem and they dont want to work with me so I'll fix em the hard way!

Arch as long as you point your toes out like 10 and 2 it doesn't hurt at all. If you keep your toes facing 12 you are going to injure yourself big time. But when done properly I honestly love that movement! I have a problem with a few of my discs and I can really do conventional squats for the same reason i can't walk on the balls of my feel (my feet wont physically bend that way) so these really allow me to get use to some decent weight on ym back (i know you can laugh now) without injuring my knees.

No its around 85 miles each way...but yes I'm not walking any extra then i have to...if i were cutting i dont think i could make it with this little sleep i get so I'm glad ic an afford to put some fat on right now.

All in all it sucks but I need to work and I need to get health insurance and with todays economy I'm afraid of leaving a stable job risking losing everything.

I put in 93 hours this week its horrible!!! Def no gym for me...no sleep either. This week I have only gotten 11 hours of sleep total from sunday till thus far saturday afternoon.

Posted by: Burner02

ho-lee-crap, bolt!
I hope you are taking a train for that distance? Driving every day w/ that traffic can't be healthy...can u car-pool or something? Don't want you falling asleep at the wheel....seriously, bro...let's not try out those health bennies.....

Posted by: DeadBolt

No I drive myself...no car pooling for me, no trains or public transportation anywhere around at the hours i travel. i am on call 24/7

Posted by: Burner02

that sucks. Good luck, bro- hope there's light at the end of that tunnel.
....if it makes you feel any better, its a 4 minute mosey from my room to my office...2 if I'm motivated...

Thanks boys...hope everyones holidays were great!

Ive been working non stop this week and im not sleeping but atleast i got my workouts in lol.

Posted by: Burner02

You be careful, Bolt-
When your body crashes...its gonna crash hard....you get some sleep in there.

Posted by: DeadBolt

when i can i do...my body sorta gets use to living on little sleep and every few weeks i have to recharge and just sleep normal!

Posted by: Burner02

I used to be that same way, but didn't spend as much time on the road as you. I've lost co-workers from burning both ends, brotha- hence my concern.

Posted by: DeadBolt

i know your just lookin out for me...someone has to LOL.

This week officially sucked! in 5 days i have only slept 6 hours!! Hopefully I get some decent rest tonight!

Side note though I am feeling mighty gat and cant wait to start cutting...i miss my vascularity and striations!

Posted by: Pylon

Get some rest, Bolt. It will do you wonders. (Easier said than done, I know.)

I've got a nephew who is thinking of becoming a firefighter. (And one who wants to be a cop, I think so they can fight each other at the big "guns and hoses" boxing match they do in STL each year.) Any tips for him?

Question why you want to do it...they will both push you to the limit! They are two of the best jobs in the world but not made for everyone. takes a certain type of person to do it.

What area are they looking into doing these? Get me some general info and i can look into it but train hard for it, study every minute you can, and tighten your balls down b/c its gonna be one hell of a ride!

yeah, I get what your saying... It's funny, that I can focus on a few things, but, when you get down and dirty and want to commit, I have to let things go, like mafia wars and farmtown on facebook.... I'm at that point where we are lifting and doing cardio and there's not enough time for everything... but, there are priorities.... like..... body dismorphyia ?...

Yup, I have it and damn proud of it...

No gym oday had to much work to do with my the skulls...cleaning 2 bear skulls and refurbing 3 deer skulls. Its taking me all day so far and I have a long night ahead of me!

Tomorrow morning I'll hit the gym though...

Posted by: Burner02

..still waiting on this story you promised....
Hope you're feeling better

Posted by: DeadBolt

Sorry Burns totally forgot...musta been that tired LOL.

Almost forgot which story it was so much has happened since then.

Let me set the scene...36 degrees 30+mph winds and POURING rain!! We get called out for a minor MVA (motor verhicle accident) and to proceed slowely no reported injuries. So I do so...half way there rescue updates saying car vs 2 tractor trailers and the car lost. guy is stuck in the car and they were cutting him out. Well we haul ass in only to find half of car. Guy was speeding lost control got hit from the side by a big rig fliped 8 times bumper to bumper to get hit again from the side and cut the car in half crushing him under the engine.

I showed up and instead of taking the time to cut the car...we didn't have that time...i pryed the door off and yanked the guy out to find he is almsot cut clean in half. We did our job securing him got him in the bus and he starts freaking out save me save me save me! We he was so bad we had to RSI him which is basically paralyzing him with drugs so we could work on him. You lose all muscle function including breathing...yes we breath for them LOL.

Anyway 3 hours of work cuting bandaging cleaning running drugs and saving this guys life only to find out he stole the car from an old man after raping a young girl and was running from the cops.

The cops intentionally didn't tell me that b/c they knew I probably wouldn't have worked as hard as i did. Guy is lucky to be alibve and in my mind i think he shoulda died. Those are just my feelings though and all the years of doing this it starts to beat you down a little bit!

Good lookin workout Bolt!!! Your a better man than me my Friend, my heart HURT after reading your story...Makes you HATE, plain and simple!!!

Posted by: DeadBolt

I once was a good person Mike...I honestly was but seeing what Ive seen I just can't been a good person anymore. People say I'm an asshole and Id have to say yea b/c if I believe everything Id hear man Id be a fool. Theres far and few between that my heart goes out to the rest of em...FUCK EM! I can't wait to get that tattoo on my ass!

Posted by: Burner02

wow...what a story.
YOU are a good person, DB- you can't let scumbags affect you. Don't let them have ANY control over who YOU are.
I woudln't wanted to have been in your shoes when you found out about that guy...effing animal...and I do't mean that in my gym compliment way....
Just chalk saving his pathetic ass as practice for someone who deserves to be saved.

Posted by: the other half

good thing the dont let you carry a sidearm while you work.
but on another note, please post a pic when you get your new tat!!!!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Update on that sotory...found out last night that that guy ended up dieing last night...i had a smile on deep inside when the doctor told me.

Some states you are allowed to carry a sidearm and I think i should be allowed to with some of the shit we deal with! Jan 14th I have a court date to testify on an assault against my partner last month. Some bullshit eh?

Anyway no gym today ended up with a nasty job last minute of my shift guy crashed his car and clean cut off his leg and there was a 6" rod through the bone of that same leg from his steering colum...friggin awsome if ya ask me!

AA my first tattoo that i have decided on is my leapord ghecko crawling from the back of my shoulder over my trap and town my front delt/chest looking forward as if she were sitting on my shoulder. I want the tail to wrap up to the back of my neck. Someday!

The Man upstairs works in mysterious way!!! Justice was served!!! You are a good person tho Bolt, pat yourself my Friend, you do things MANY cannot, and I for one tip my hat to you Brother!!!

Heck yeah! karma is a beeeotch!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Sorry I hit the gym but it was horrible! We got 20" of snow overnight so I have been shoveling like crazy! I have a 110 yard driveway so its a workout by itself haha!

Anyway went in to the gyhm for some shoulders and back but just did some supersets to get done faster. Didn't record anything.

However from being sick last week and working out in the cold all week plus shoveling all night = sweat + cold not good. I have come down with a chest cold again and am coughing up a lung! I'll live but i have to take it easy.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Got to the gym late tonight...I have been so damn busy it isn't even funny! Anyhow today my workout was cut short b/c I brought my girlfriend with me and had to show her the ropes coupled with getting there an hour late i didn't get everything done but no biggy.

Todays workout...

Legs:
Squats
135/185/225/255/295*1
315*1
335*1 PR!!
drop 225*12 drop 135*12
~~told you guys I had it in me! Man that felt like I was moving a fuckin buick on my shoulders...I admire those guys who squat big numbers!

Single Leg Press
3*275*10

HS Leg Ext
3*165*10

DB SLDL
3*852*12

And then the gym closed...I think I will be OK with legs though I hit them pretty hard with very short RIs with this workout so the hypertrophy will be through the roof.

I'll hit tri's tomorrow hopefully with chest/bi's/traps.

great workouts you have going on in here DB...

On another note,,, wow, the stories you have about your job. It would be really interesting work, but I don't think I'd be tough enough to do that job.

Although you probably get use to it?

This week my girlfriend has started coming to the gym with me and I'm glad she is going but so far i hate it!!

She hates the gym and exercise which i find very strange b/c she has been an athlete here whole life and conditioning is one of the biggest part of a sport...how do you hate exercise? That coupled with her wanted to do everything on her own mixed with being a perfectionist is a horrible mix in the gym.

She drags ass in the gym but when i try to tell her she is doing something wrong or not to do something she gets an attitude. I have been doing this shit a long time and go to school for fitness dont yuou think I know what I'm doing and when I say not to do something I try and explain and she shuts her brain off and doesn't listen.

Now I know why guys tell women to get a trainer b/c they are seconds away from killing their girlfriends!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Happy New Year Ya'll!

Posted by: Burner02

Yo, D!
Happy New Year!
So....let the GF do her own thing. Walk into the gym, give her a peck on the cheek and say: see you in____ and head off.
Now...when she is doing something wrong, is it something that can injure her?
Remember, most people do not like being corrected by friends/loved ones.

Also in my experience...MOST not all but quite a bit of women do not want to train..they want their pink DB's and do mindless # of reps to get 'toned'....
"I don't want to get big..."
...oi.
So...go to the gym together, work out separate and leave together.
Good times....good times....

that would be awesome to train over there... at least you can get good supplements without the fear of someone knocking on your door..

Posted by: Burner02

not really...some european dude got hammered for having his stuff on him while trying to leave the country.
Guess you just have to be smart-er than that...no matter where you are.
I'd rather be in your gym....maybe not @ 0500 trying to beat the backdoor boys to the curling rack, but a fully furnished gym with nice equipment
