) guess I'll find out Sunday. I plan on gaining about another 13 pounds before going on my cut, which I have no idea how long that'll be, untill I look good in the mirrior I guess.

. I love the whole BB aspect of my life, it's the reason I get up in the morning I know sad, but weight trainings the only time I get to myself, wher I can just relax and focus on me, and the only time I priortize myself over other. I'll be happy too once I can get my strength up, people here that beching like 300lbs, if I ever attempted to bench that much I'd be dead , o well I see strength as just a side gain.
|
Well I now offically have my first black eye , when I was doing my ab exercises I thought I'd add a 10lbs weight on top of my 25lbs weight, well being my stupid self I forgot to hold on to the 10lbs weight and forgot it would slip off came up for my crunch and when I came back down WHAM 10lbs weight came down and hit me in the eye, god I'm an idiot.
|
Arggg... That sounds painful! Are you ok? You are lucky that a black eye is all you got - you could have smashed your nose, broken teeth or worse!! 
| Well I forgot to make some more chocolate cheesecake so I decided to try mxing oatmeal and soy powder for a meal (since I can' use anymore whey, I spend a fortune on that stuff as it is) and OMG it was the most nasty thing I have ever eaten I could only eat 3/4 of it before it was coming back up so I threw the rest out and just added a little bit more serving size to one of my other meals to make up for it. |
Keep it up!
but what really gets me mad is that people think it's just a weight thing, when I tell them I exercise and eat right etc. they look at me and say "why? you don't need it" I hate when people say that, how exactly do they think I look the way I look just sitting on the couch all day? Besides like you said it's not just a weight thing, it's a lifestyle, a lifestyle I love and wouldn't change it for anything and walked away with a black eye. , unsweetned PB
, go on it this morning got through 3 minutes when the hinge holding one of the foot pedal things now has a hole through it, I guess I was going to fast and it was slowly being eaten away at (maybe thats where all the rust on my floor was coming from ), or it could have been the fact I bought it at a using good store for $70 which means no refunds . This week I'm going out to buy this machine called 6 second abs which can go up to 55 lbs, that way I can start lifting more with my abs without black eyes . So I guess I'll have to go out and buy either another elpictical trainer, a cycle, or a treadmill in 2 weeks time, problem is I don't know which one . Tread mill gets hard on my chins, I love elpitical trainers but the cycles are like $50 cheaper just don't know if there a good workout since I've never used them, any suggestions anyone? won't be celebrating that) I need the sleep, it's just been one of those every week hetic weeks that you use the weekend to sleep! 
I need to get some sleep!

, so many things are messed up. 
) I'm gonna eat thankgiving with my friend's family (wasn't even gonna have thanksgiving but since tommorrows my "binge day" I might as well). The only person in my family I have respect for is my father, and what hurts most is that he loves my sisters more (he's mine and my brother's stepdad, our real dad's in rehab right now..he's a keeper) since there his. Like for instance I've had a hemrroid for at least 7 months now and have been bitching at my parents to schedule a doctors appointment since the cream dosen't work, but they haven't. But the moment my sister had a fever they rushed her up to the hospital as if she was gonna die or something.|

I think I'm gonna have a mental break down, so many things are messed up. I'll start with the BB aspect of my life. i weighed myself today, and guess waht I weigh? 126.5! I lost a pund, how I have no idea but I'm pissed off cause that means tommorrow I have to do the binge thing (eating 4000-5000 calories of junk while still getting in some fiber, complexed carbs after my workout, and 1.5x my body weight in protein) which I really don't want to do but I'm gonna have to I guess, I'll do it on my leg days, hopefully that'll work out and won't cause that much of a fat gain. |
It is only if that weight loss is consistent that you should get concerned. ).|
The thing I don't understand is how could I have lost a pound? could it be my new found addictin to caffine, that BTW I'll never give up!
|
| Still have no idea what is best for cardio, tread mill, elpitical or cycler can someone give me some advice from personal experience? |
(get the picture? lol) ), resse puffs, Whey, Pear stir fried rice, cookies (can't do Emma's pstworkout meal till WED when I can get the stuff)
. I went out to my best friends for thanksgiving instead of staying home, it was so much fun!! I haven't enjoyed myself like tha tin a long time . I think I may have went over 5000 calories, o well that's good I suppos. Nothing else really happen today, except I'll be staying up late trying to drink the rest of the water I need to drink, in my already EXTREMLY BLOATED tummy, ugh..
, brown rice, fiber 1, unsweetened soy milk, pear Speaking of cardio I was bored today and I researched HIIT cardio for the hell of it and it said that afterwards you shouldn't eat anything for an hour to reap all the metabolic benefits, but itsn't that a little long, how are you suppos to have a post workout meal?
might as well do my art homework tonight since I have nothing else to do, ok off to draw one seriously fucked sketch of a shoe
why, why did I take art this year!!
| Speaking of cardio I was bored today and I researched HIIT cardio for the hell of it and it said that afterwards you shouldn't eat anything for an hour to reap all the metabolic benefits, but itsn't that a little long, how are you suppos to have a post workout meal? |
At the moment you are still in the 'got to loose weight' frame of mind - even if it may be somewhat subconscious...).| I might do another Leg Day on Sat since my legs were sore today, must mean I didn't hit them hard enough yesterday I suppos, or I didn't get enough protein or complexed carbs? |
| I don't know, I think I'm not gonna do that binge day thing, I feel so..gross I'm retaining so much water. |
| But I don't know what to do, if I losing weight at 2800 calories that would mean I need to increase my cals to 3800 calories, and I can't eat that much everyday!! My only chance would be if I increase my fats, like peanut butter or somthing but wouldn't like 190G of fat be a little much?.. |
)... You could also increase carbs a bit more too.
lol I woulda guessed that my writting would be the boring part, espically considering my life's so dull, but I'll take any compliment I can get . I'll try my best to keep my posts constant BTW may I mention your kicking ass! I always read your journal, it's become a hobby saddly. . But yours is the only advice that matters! ) is that even possible? , not to mention I must have almost thrown up at least 10 times " who knows what I'll do, I'll figure something out during the week.

)* 2x14, 1x13, 1x12 ) . I think my mom must have threatned her or something (wouldn't surprise me) cause she started talking to me about her weekend and stuff and then she gave me an outline of what was going to be on the test tomorrow that she never gave anyone else . O well I'm not gonna complain. French was.... interesting, I'm now being forced to read about two gay police officers, my friend Megan is into anime/Magnas and stuff and she has this one that she's obessed about called -Fake- which is basically about two gay police officers and them trying to solve crime! whoohoo that's a whole lotta fun sumed up into one , ya right Lunch was "fun" too, espically when this major flamer (that I think has a crush on me, considering the fact that he writes me a note everday ) got extremly pissed because this girl stole the seat next to me so he couldn't sit next to me (thank god!!!). You people have not seen funny untill you've seen a musical junkie, red haired small flamer get mad!! LMAO I thought I was going to die! Then afterwards this chick came over to me and started talking about how she hasn't eaten anything in a week and how she should be hosptilized cause she's crazy and she's cut her wrists 31 times in a night 
my god I don't even know her name! I was just kinda like...yay okay..eat something bye (even though she looks like she does 
, and theres no marks at all on her wrists..people) felt good. But I forgot all about my homework/tests and it's 9:00pm and I have nothing done, why am I such an idiot, o well it'll be a long night I guess.. (BTW god I love this Smilie mathingy or what ever their called...it's so petite and sad and it's got a whole lot of funny with it!...I have no life at all ) I'm going to be so tired tommorrow...OOOO speaking of tommorrow Smallvilles on! now I'm perked and ready for work , or it could be that the caffine I just had is kicking in, either way it's all good!

thanks for stopping by! (not to mention thanks for pointing out my location mistakes now not too many people will think I'm a moron)
apparently he told some person who told one of my friends who told me. Besides tha nothing else really happened oo in french class I did lock my friend Micheal out of the classroom, that was pretty fun , and then when the stupid copying asshole did the same to me, I came in the class and gave him a damn good slap , not sure if I mentioned I give damn hard slaps, well if I didn't guess what? I give damn hard slaps! , I have to bring her chinese food for her present for luch, that'll be fun carrying chinese food in paper brown bag with some ice packs all morning, god she makes life interesting.
cause I don't have a liquid meal set up yet, I guess one more day of eating breakfast and then getting straight to weights won't hurt... hopefully I can figure something out soon.

. I do close-grip pushdowns at the gym. However, if you want, you could do a skull-crusher like exercise, called lying dumbell extensions. Lie on the bench with db in each hand, palms facing each other and arms extended over head. Bend your elbows and bring the db down towards your shoulders NOT your head . Keep elbows pointed up NOT back or out. Raise and repeat.But careful. A black eye is not bad at all compared to loosing teeth, breaking your nose or wost of all, loosing an eye! In addition i do a close grip type of BP with db's. Lie on bench hold db above like you are benching. bring db's together so that they touch sides. lower db's and lower elbows to your sides, NOT flared out. raise and repeat. I find this type of close grip bench and the close grip pushdowns gives my tri's a good wo. |

Kinda like what this guy is doing - http://www.netfit.co.uk/tri3.htm Works the triceps pretty good.

Yay getting all kinds of great ideas to get rid of those damned 1 hand tricpe extensions! (I find they hurt my elbows, maybe not proper form? , meh still hate em ) I'm still thinking if I'm gonna go outside to jog or not, I still got 20 minutes to decide..hmm to go or not to go ..

These should be a little harder than your warm up and, if you managed 14 reps on the first set you are probably needing to increase the weight slightly on the following sets.
Might also want to do your shrugs after your pull overs - just flows better that way. Ok sure, lol I was thinking that yesterday that it would be alot easier to do it that way but I'm stupid like that With my weights I push myself to do the 14 set (sometimes I have to stop at 10 for like 5-7 seconds) then I can barely do the rest of the 12 maybe I could throw in an extra rep or two depending on the type of exercise, does this just mean I'm not resting enough inbetween sets? So stick to my weights I'm ususally using and do 14 reps then increase the weight by say 5 lbs and push out as many reps as posiible? I widh weights were as simple as cardio, I'm always confused .I know I need to increase some weights on my chest/shoulders I was able to do like 15 reps lol, I did increase my military press by 5 lbs, it was brutal .Looks excellent!! Good to see the milk and banana!! That meal sounds soooo goood But I have to ask, what is 'becil oil'??lol it is yummy! !Becil oil is what I put on the pan to cook my egg whites. Per 2 TBSP - Calories - 83 Fat - 9.2G (.8 sat) Portein - 0 Carb - 0 I use it as a EFA. The best thing you can do in life is not care what the rest of the world thinks of you... Do what you feel is right for you and make sure you are productive and pro-active in your approach to yourself, your life, your future and your role in society and everything else will fall into place. |
not matter what I do I'm always thinking about what other people are thinking of me, peoples opioions are everything to me...I know it shouldn't be that way but it is, at least for now.

Another thing is remember to NEVER adjust your grip and/or stance after you have lifted the weights. This has a definate potential to drop the weight on yourself. Once you have lifted the weights over you, DONOT wiggle your fingers or try and adjust yourself. You could injure yourself. If you need to adjust anything, PUT THE WEIGHT DOWN, adjust your grip/stance and then lift again. I find it is kind of an unconcious thing to adjust an uncomfortable grip which i tend to do sometimes especially when i am not very focussed. But it is not a good idea. So try and avoid doing it always. I agree with emma, your workout sets should have heavier weights than the warmup set. I understand you might not have the weights presently, but this is something you need to consider. When you are able to do the predefined number of sets, always try and squeeze and extra rep for each set. When that gets easy, try squeeze another rep for each set. when that gets easier, increase the weights. This way you can push yourself to the next higher weight. "I AM ON A BULK. I NEED TO HAVE THOSE CALORIES TO GROW!" Now write that down 200 times on the blackboard! |
I would start to adjust my grip during the skull curshers after it was right above me head, maybe that's why it was so freaky O well I still wouldn't do them, I have the worst luck in the world so it's fine ....the big toughy will be tomorrow when I'm suppos to do nothing...I'm not sure how thats gonna go
and my god I know why they invented treadmills! The wind felt like it was cutting up my throat eveytime I breathed, and my ears ooo my precious ears hurted so much . Nver again shall there be an outside jog (except there probably will have to be untill I got my elpitical trainer ). I've now added wind to my list of naturable things I hate! (well it was already there due to it always screwing up my hair! Just when you think your having a good hair day WHAM here comes the wind! So now wind is #1 on the list 
) o well what can ya do? I'm not eating pizza and ice cream! then she sarted going on about how her daughter had buliema and how she overcame it and wrote it as her speach and won nationals and I was just in disbelief, first off I have no idea how she knows (unless the stupid principal mentioned it to a teacher and then the news started passing form teacher to teacher) not to mention she's saying this in front of the class! Afterwards my friend Erin was like ok wow that was akward and I was like I know! then she said I never told anyone about that, I was like whoa! wait how did you know? Apparently my friends got together and statred to talking about me last year when I was gone, so tons of people know ...I just felt so...betrayed I don't know..at least I know I have one true friend that will always be there for me, that's all I need. Sarah Micheele Gellar is by far my favorite actress, I can't wait till "The Grudge" comes out!

are you ????? 'rest day' as the term signifies it is a day where you DONOT do any strenous physical activity. 
you are supposed to REST. Watch tv, read a book, go hang out with your friends, take up a hobby, learn a new skill, even catch up on school work if you have to, or simply sleep a bit more (as i love doing

Once you are able to do 12 reps, then increase the weights to a level where you can only do 8reps. Then keep going and try and increase those reps with the higher weight.

Not giving it a break is one of the reasons that results in a burnout. And you dont want that to happen. So find something relaxing to do. Something that also makes you mentally pleased while doing it. Be it reading a book, painting..etc. Surely there is school work which also need to be done (as much as you might hate it ). Preparing for that can only help you. Better grades = better job = more money! And more money = independence = the ability to get out of one situation into a better one of your choice. |

Not giving it a break is one of the reasons that results in a burnout. And you dont want that to happen. So find something relaxing to do. Something that also makes you mentally pleased while doing it. Be it reading a book, painting..etc. Surely there is school work which also need to be done (as much as you might hate it ). Preparing for that can only help you. Better grades = better job = more money! And more money = independence = the ability to get out of one situation into a better one of your choice. |

This is just a warm up. Donot do it so intense that you exhaust your muscles and your weight training suffers.Rest in between sets is a debatable topic. When i started out on a serious training i had to take 3-4 mins or more between sets. I was a skinny guy with not much energy and besides i didnt pay attention to a proper bulk diet. But now i take 1 min between sets and maybe 2 for some. I take 2-3 mins between exercises. In total for HIT try and keep the total training time 45-60 mins. The beneift of HIT is that it is a time saver. Which is what appeals to me as i dont want to live in the gym. There are other things in life to be done, even if it is just sitting on the couch watching tv and scratching my butt!! . |

Believe me, once you get some serious weight training underway, you will enjoy the rest periods and your body will demand it. Else you will be walking around all sore with plenty of aches and pains and you will stop growing. Keep in mind, you donot grow while training, you grow while resting. |
hopefully I'll see some real noobie gains one can hope!|

Excess cals for just one meal in one day will not really have much of an impact. You are not going to get obese overnight.

, I had no idea what to do! I ended up staying up till 4:00am so I went 5 hours without food, and then after I woke up at 8:30am I didn't eat breakfast untill 10 ish, not to mention I had no idea what to eat for breakfast! but I ended up having an apple,glass of skim milk and some chicken , so my schedules a little messed
but it was basically the same old same old just had to space my meals out differently cause of the party, and I rejected all forms of junk food . The party was so fun! There was twister and movies and the sexual fantasy room and "foxy Jeff" was in there waiting for me , gotta love inside jokes , that was basically all the party was with a little bit of groping so I won't bore you guys with things you wouldn't understand, all you nned to know is I could have taken that bitch Alex out in Twister if it wasn't for all the people complaining the game was too long so we called a draw , noone could bet my crazy Pilate flexability there
) I had no idea I could bench 65lbs (yes thats an acomplishment to me ) I thought I'd kill myself if I tried that much, i'll be happy once I met the 100lbs mark . so then she said well we have some protein bars if you want those, I figured there better than nothing, anyways she got htem and I read the label protein bars my ass! it was 4.4G of protein and 7.5G of sugar lol, people and their lack of knowledge. O well I ended up settling with some chicken breast an apple and some skim milk , so stuffed!
