Football game -

We won last night which makes us 7 - 0 on the season. We have the playoffs in two weeks. Unfortunately we were missing 3 of our players but still managed a 38 - 17 victory. Our D played like shit. We've only given up 26 points all year long - and we gave up 17 last night. By the end of the game we figured out how to stop the other team but it was a little too late since they score twice.

Back to the gym today. Since I am working out Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week I'm going to switch some exercises around. I'm leaning toward this split:

Tues - Back/Bi
Wed - Chest/Tri
Thursday - Legs
Friday - Shoulders/Traps
Saturday - Off
Sunday - Off

or

Pull
Push
Off
Legs

Nice lifts as usual.

It felt alot different toward the end of my routine but in a good way. It was more of a feeling of "I worked my ass off in here today" Compared to the shorter HIT sessions.

It's pretty tough to increase mass but not body fat. There's a formula based on your weight for the amount of calories you should be taking in. Check out the diet forum stickies.

You could start by taking in a extra meal (about 500 calories) made up of 40 % protein, 40% Carb, and 20% fat per day to see how your body reacts.

or

You could also start with Protein Shakes. I use Optimum Nutrition Strawberry Power. You can buy it on-line for $25 for 5 gallons of protein.
I take in three shakes a day. One in the AM with my oatmeal, one post workout, and one before bed (three shakes with 2 scoops in each shake and using water to mix - equate to 600 calories and 145 grams of protein).

The only supplements I use are:

Protein Power
Multi-vitamin (mega man - from GNC)
ZMA

I've used creatine in the past. It was good to put on about 15lbs but as soon as I got off it I dropped about 10.

Good Luck.

Gaining weight is ALL ABOUT YOUR DIET

Posted by: wlcfitness05

yeah, i acually tried creatine like 2 years ago, for bout 2months, i gained osme wieght then lost it when i stoped takin it, i wasnt as ripped then as i am now, n i dont like the bloating effects of creatine. theres a competition i compete n each year called Mr. Fitness, my school runs it, i got 2nd last may and i hope that this year i will win, i wasnt n this kinda shape last year, i worked alot over the summer. i guess ill have to jus gain wieght and keep training, i love the ripped look but i need size. i guess i could gain then cut my fat a few weeks b4 the competition.

Hey Ym ,

Nice post-Xmas wo !

Congrats on the PB ! I have quite the ways to go to be even close to that weight


Posted by: rock4832

Awesome w/o YM!!! How do you like Sumo Deads?


Posted by: JerseyDevil

Nice YM! Is this the first time you've tried sumo style deads? I've tried them a couple of times and just can't get in the groove. Far prefer conventional. For my height it seems like it would be easier, but I have a long torso and short legs. Believe it or not, I'm just short of 6' 1", but only have a 31" inseam....

GW - I'm sure you're in the game I'm looking forward to watching your MAX OT.

Rock - I really feel them hit my hams and glutes. I like 'em but didn't really have room in my HIT program to fit 'em in.

Jersey - I haven't done Sumo's in a while. I've never did a set of 20. I was losing my grip by the time I hit 20. You must have a long torso if you have 31' inseam at 6'1". I feel conventional deads more in my back. Sumos hit my legs more.


Posted by: rock4832

Interesting, I thought sumos hit the lower back more. I'm doing them for the first time this week.

Thanks DD....I'm weighing in at 190. Since I've been doing HIT for the past 6 -7 weeks I wanted to change things up this week. I normally only do 1 set of curls a week - yesterday I did 7. I prefer the HIT workouts to these workouts. The triple set on the triceps were a bitch though

Tomorrow I'm hitting delts and traps then I'm heading up to Northern Michigan to snowboard and celebrate NYE with some friends.

I'm going to have a new split when I come back.


Posted by: JerseyDevil

I love the way you workout YM.... I like the way you party even more


Posted by: rock4832

1/02/05

I'm back from my long weekend trip. We had a lot of fun eating, drinking and watching football all weekend. Too bad Michigan couldn't contain Texas' QB (surprise/surprise - we saw the same thing happen against OSU).

It was too warm (54') to snowboard so I worked out on Friday. I did a full body split for about an hour at the hotel gym.

Pullups
Chinups
DB Shoulder Press
Front Raise
Side Raise
Leg Extention
Ham Curl
Bicep Curl
Upright Row
DB Row
Overhead Tricep Press

I have our Playoffs for Football tomorrow night so Tuesday I'll start a new routine.




Posted by: rock4832

Welcome back!


Posted by: JerseyDevil

I bet if it was cold enough to snowboard, you STILL would have worked out at the hotel .

Great game though man. For about 3 hours once a year, I lose my senses and route for Blue in bowl games.

Looks like a good split YM. I like how you change things almost every 2-3 weeks. Maybe that is what I should start doing instead of trying something for 3 weeks and then not liking it anymore, keep moving around.

JERSEY -
USC is #1 - no doubt about it!! I watched the game until it was 44 - 10. The USC QB/Receiver combo was deadly - just imagine if they hade Mike Williams too!!

GW -
I haven't done an arms only workout in ages (probably 6 months). I probably could have been more creative but I just wanted to get 'em done. I had a much better arm workout planned for the gym but I don't have that equipment at home. Which reminds me ... I need to get someone to come over and help me hang my chinup bar and dip bars in the garage. I'll probably get out there this weekend and start working out on my speed bag that I got for Christmas.

Rissole -
I gotta give you props .... You are very dedicated to your diet!!!

Rock -
My arms feel fine today. Their a little tight were my bicep meets my elbow. I might take today as an off day due to the weather. I'm working from home again. Since I have 55 mile commute one way to work - it takes way to long when we get dumped on with snow. Fortunately, they are building another gym within three miles of my house (rather than the current one which is 12 miles) that is due to open in March

I've been sick as hell the last two days. I woke up in a pool of sweat this morning. I've been popping Tylanol Cold and Robetusian DM for the past 30 hours. I've also been drinking green tea like a mad man and taking extra Vit-C and Zinc.

I have football practice tomorrow. I might do legs before practice. I skipped them this weekend since I've felt so shitty.

That's why I stopped at 3 reps I was mad at myself for not hitting the reps I wanted. I figured I better stop before I hurt myself. That's the difference for me between being 24 years old and 34 years old. I finally learned something about the gym and pain.

That's insane weights! You've definately got a nice strong pull to you!


Posted by: yellowmoomba

Thanks guys. Pulling is definitely my strong area.

I'm going to play some basketball this afternoon then do arms tomorrow. I need to incorporate more cardio into my routine. All I'm really getting now is 1 day of football. I like to add two sessions of basketball or running.

Incline DB Press
60 x 14
How much of an incline? ... FOURTEEN


Posted by: yellowmoomba

15% Incline. My weights have definitely dropped on this exercise since jacking up my right shoulder. I'm slowly working my way back. It seems I can do a pressing movement but I need to keep my elbows in tight otherwise I get a pain in my REAR right shoulder I attempted flys but stopped right away. I'm not overly concerned since most athletes have injuries. We just need to know how to work around them


Posted by: IainDaniel

225 x 21 Nice

They Certainly are kickass the high rep deads. I like'em

Why do people go so steep with inclines...?? 15-30* max is plenty if your form is right
Rear shoulder.... rotor cuff??

I really like the high rep deads and squats!!

NT
I really don't like cardio but I want to keep my wind

RISSOLE
You're a funny guy Rissole I don't go any higher than 30% incline. If I do I feel it more in my front delt.

I hope it's not a rotator problem. I already had my left shoulder scoped 7 years ago.

Great BB curls YM!

I agree with you guys about inclines. Part of the problem in most gyms, if you want to go with BB inclines, is the frigging equipment makers produce incline benches with 45 degree inclines. I love BB incline, but I doubt if I've ever do them again. I messed up my shoulders a couple of different times cuz that is just too steep.

I think the equipment makers are in cohoots with the surgeons of the world !! Its a conspiracy I say ! Every thing i've ever read said no more than 30 * so why don't the mfg.'s get with the program ?

Aaaaaaaaaaa Yeah - It's about 15' F here so the lakes freeze over (at least the inland lakes do. My legs feel like rubber this morning. Lake Hockey is pretty fun. It's mostly my neighbors and old roommates that play. There's no checking or lifting the puck since we don't have all the equipment. Most of us just wear shin and knee pads for the occasional bouncing puck. It's GREAT exercise!!!

Thanks Jersey...You've got the PUSHING thing down. Which is something I'm working on ! You have very respectable numbers on your deads and rows

I've been weighing around 188 all week. I weighed in at 186 this morning (that's 5 pounds down from two weeks ago). It could have something to do with all the ball I played last night or that I'm cutting down my carb intake after 4PM. Or maybe that I've exercised 8 days in a row ( 4 days of weights, 2 days of basketball, 1 day of hockey and 1 day of football). I think I need a rest day. My right knee is kinda swolen and sore. I planned on doing arms tonight. I might combine doing arms and legs tomorrow and take today off. We'll see......

Meals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are pretty much the same Monday - Friday. Meal 5 is usually chicken and whole wheat noodles. I also normally have a balance bar or zone bar before I lift.

I have a cheat meal or two for the week (usually on the weekend)

Is it a "bad" diet??

Just seems like not alot to eat

Guessing around 1800 Cals a day there. Throw in some fat with the 6th meal as well

Jersey - I like the Sumo Style for my legs and Conventional for my back. As far as your form goes, I just try to drop my butt while keeping my shoulders back ( you definitely don't want to lean forward)

PULL DAY

* I decided to do my Pullups/Chinups without weight today for a change of pace. I was very happy with my high rep deads. Everything else was pretty average.

Tomorrow will be PUSH DAY then basketball on Thursday, Friday is an OFF DAY, and Saturday will be LEG DAY. I'm switching workouts weekly to keep my body from adapting to the same routine. PULL/PUSH/LEGS seems like the most flexible program since I can do workouts back to back without hitting the same muscle groups. Now that I'm trying to play one day of football, one day of basketball and one day of hockey every week I'll definitely have to limit my workout sessions to 3 per week. I like having at least one day off.

If we ever have the "IM Awards" again I'd vote YM "Most Athletic".

BALL

Played 5 or 6 games of basketball (a little over an hour). It felt good to get a nice long run in. I had a little problem during one of the last games. I was coming around a pick and another guy was coming around the other way - needless to say - my nose collided with his chin. A nice big shot blood squirted out of my nose (the bastard) all over my yellow shirt. Both sides of my nose got a little bloody. Fortunately - there wasn't any exterior cuts so you can barely tell. I finished the game then played one more. I'm just glad I didn't have to get stitches. I seem to have a "glass face" for some reason. I have had stitches on my face at least 7-8 times (mostly from playing basketball). It seems the big man's elbows are perfect height for my head.

Today is a rest day. Then tomorrow it's LEG day.

Damn YM, you ARE hardcore. I've never had my face busted, but I've worked on many that have in the ER and I don't envy them or you LOL.

Good to see you stop by! Basketball is a great way to get your cardio in too I'll have to check your journal out.

ROCK - I'm surprised you've never had any stitches.....

LEGS

*No straps today I think I could have gotten at least 2 or 3 more reps on my SLDL's and Sumo DL's but I'm trying to use straps every other workout.
