just moving my journal over from MM, It's only for about another six weeks, hope it's all right that I also put down what I have so far

All right, I Have about seven weeks left of school and I am supposed to be a hell of a lot closer to my six pack than I am. I have made some decent gains over the winter, but my stomach has not done too much, and since I have to cut out almost all of my supplements in order to pass a drug test for my summer job, I may as well make the next seven weeks a hardcore ripping stage.

Here are the stats that I know of;
Age - 22
Height - 6'1
Weight - 214 lbs.
Arms - 181/8 " (Very full pump)
BF% - Hell if I know, but you can see somewhat of a four pack in the right lighting and if I flex really hard.
Max Bench - 345lbs.

So here's my story, last summer I was doing fairly well on cardio (well for me anyways). I was able to run for over 3 miles on the treadmill at 7mph and at an incline. Then I hurt my knee pretty bad. I did a mile on no incline a couple of days ago and felt like I was gonna hurl, I have gone down really bad so it's time to get serious.

I intend on doing the following at LEAST four times a week;
12 laps around the gym = 1 mile
1.5 miles on stepper on level 9
hitting the heavy bag until I give
abs - 3 sets of four exercises, maybe more
eating once a day and a protein shake for dinner
No alcohol.....well I'll give it a good go anyways.
Less wasting time at the bar and on....women. Ouch that's gonna be rough.

This will be on top of my regular workout program which is going fairly well, so I won't bother putting that down.

My goal is to have a fairly decent six pack in about seven weeks, and to add incentive to my goal I am making this promise that I will post a picture of myself at the end of this trial and I want you all to make fun of me if I don't do it. Well, let's rock!

Hey dude, you might instead of cutting out all the food, switch to 6 small meals to keep your metabolism up. Otherwise once your stomach is empty your metabolism will start slowing down (expecially with no sups). I used to eat like how you described and it helped to maintain but I didn't lose anything.

Don't know if this will help ya any. If I didn't have my side job I'd make this one a challenge, but I can't go the gym at night. so the little bit of cardio in the mornings is all i get

But maybe in 2 or 3 weeks we'll see, might just push ya some more. Damn wish I were back in school some days.

Good luck dude, keep us posted

Actually that makes sense to have smaller meals instead of just pig out at lunch time. It will probably be a lot easier for me to do as well. Thanx for thought buddy.

Did 12 laps around the gym, which is supposed to be 1 mile, but I pulled it off in 7 minutes 35 seconds, not sure if I'm fast enough to do that so I better check the measurements with the gym manager again. Beet the crap out of the heavy bag but saved some strength for arms later today and the stepper went fairly well. Will do stomach after I finish arm workout. Yae, almost done day 1

Ok, I noticed a big flaw in my system yesturday. Apparently beating the shyt out of a punching bag in the morning makes for a very bad arm workout in the afternoon. But other than that, so far so good. I am waking up early to do my mile run and I do the stepper in the afternoon after my workout with weights. I'm not too sure how I'm going to be tommorrow as I had a pretty intense leg workout today so running tommorrow morning might not be a very impressive sight. Guess I'll find out in the morning. G'night

Hey, if running is tough and you have a precor eliptical do that. Normally after my leg days that's what I do. You still burn a lot of calories while at the same time, it's not so hard on your knees. lmao and of course then you just glide, barely have to actually lift your legs so after a hard leg days it's my prefered cardio.

I normally stick with that and the stepper. Stepper kicks my ass more though, but after leg day it just doesn't work.

Oh yeah almost forgot, if I were you I'd skip the heavy bag on arm day. Kinda like I skip cardio on leg day. That way you can get a good workout in, and less risk of overtaining or overuse.

As I figured, I woke up in the morning went up the stairs to the living room and said to hell with running today as my legs hurt from the frickin stairs. unfortunately there is no eliptical runner here, so I'll just take today as an off day for cardio, I'll still do stomach though. I was very proud of my shoulder workout today as I tried the 100lb dumbells for shoulder presses, I needed a spotter for the first one then I was able to pull off a couple by myself so that's pretty groovy Not doing any lifting tommorrow so I'll put in a little extra cardio, thanx for the advice Dvlmn

thanx bud, It took a while to get there. I started when I was 17 and did fairly good untill I was 19. Then for the next couple of years I went down hill BAD. I hit the gym maybe once every couple of months. Right before I turned 21 I started going hard again and have been doing pretty good since, turn 23 in June.

Nothing new to add, cardio is going fairly well, thinking about running a mile and a half instead of just 1. I think I'll try to keep adding a little bit week by week.

I just wen`t back up the top and reread your first post and almost shyt myself!

You`re only eating once a day, and one protien shake?!?!?

Dude, I`m sure you want your six pac, but I know, you know, you`ll lose quite a bit of overall muscle doing this.

Are you now taking dvlmn666`s advice on the small meals?

Eating just once will have your metabolisum crawling along, but several small meals will have it burning.

Sorry if none of this makes any sense...it`s taken forever to type as I`m about 10 drinks passed drunk.

LMAO, I'm sort of taking Dvlmn's advice. I'm eating two smaller meals a day and a protein shake.

Yesturday kicked ass I did the stepper on level 9 for 1.75 miles, ran for 1.25 miles and hit the bag for.....a shyt, I have no idea but it was pretty long, and did good on my abs. I missed this morning's run as the whole dorm was up till 4 in the morning, I'll make it up this afternoon.

kuso drunk? **roflmao**

hey dude, are you drinking enough water? That'll help you lose weight to, at least it did me. **shrug**

Hey add in another meal or something, maybe a protein drink when ya wake up. That's what I do first thing in the morning. Gotta get your metabolism going to burn more.

Big party last night or what lol

Way to kick a$$ yesterday, looks like your getting back to the levels you were before you layed off on the cardio.

I do drink a lot, of water but I should probably drink more, water. Good idea thanx bud.

Should I have the protein shake before or after my morning run?

Not much of a party last night, lot's of bullshyt with homework and an idiot room mate;
http://www.musclemagazine.com/bb/sh...?threadid=56570

And what does (sic) stand for? I see that on a few things and have always wondered?


__________________

I have it before I hit the gym. Kinda figured that way your body gets going, and metabolism starts kicking in, then hit the weights and cardio to keep it going even more. Plus the little bit of carbs in the protein drinks should make you able to push harder on the cardio and hopefully promote burning those carbs then bodyfat, and save you more muscle.

I'm no expert though, but so far it's been working for me. And before this I used to always skip breakfast to.

lol, my username on some other things is dvlmn6(sic)6

Ahh that's what it's for, I wonder why it is so common on other things? oh well, Thanx for the protein advice, I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Should I take a certain amount of time before I run?

Felt kinda sluggish today but still got up and ran 15 laps around the gym (1.25 miles) I felt like I could still go longer though. Perhaps if I got my lazy ass out of bed when I was supposed to instead of lying there for 20 minutes trying to think of an excuse not go running I might have. Oh well, I'll get to bed a little earlier tonight and not see what tommorrow brings. I'll do the stepper after I work my back this afternoon.

Hey you still went, that's what matters. I usually take the protein first thing when I wake up, so it's about 45 minutes before doing either lifting or cardio. That gives my stomach enough time to start digesting it and not get a stomach ache or feel bloated or anything.

I think it's popular just because of slipknot, they had it on almost every one of there shirts for a while there. And it's kinda catchy I guess, I'm working on thinking up something new for under my name but the right thing I just haven't thought up yet lol

Creativity isn't exactly my specialty, need a computer fixed or built now that I can kick ass on, but ask me to think up something creative might as well wait a month or so lol

Well this is definitely NOT groovy! In todays class, where we learn how to teach physical education, we had a project where the students teach other students in my not so favorite event, gymnastics. Anyways, this one group had cartwheels as a part of their project, so the whole class had to do cartwheels, well actually only about 1/3 of the class tried, and I decided to give it a go. It may come as a shock to you all, but I really haven't been working on my cartwheels too much lately, and I landed hard on my ass and somehow took a good part of the shock sideways on my leg. I tried doing stepper a little while ago and I could feel something wrong. It hurts, not too bad, but enough to tell me that I better lay off. Hopefully just for tonight, I'll give it a go again tommorrow.

Today went really well, it was made for running. I woke up at around 5 am and I felt wide awake, I decided to go slowly into this breakfast thing so I only had a glass of milk before I ran instead of a protein shake.
I decided to go running at about 5:30 only one problem, doors are locked untill 6, but I decide to try and see if the security guard would be nice enough. Got to the college and they forgot to lock the wheelchair accessable door. Great i'm in, hopefully I will be able to get in the gym now, sure enough they had the door locked, but they didn't close it all the way so I was able to get in. This is too good, Only thing that would be better is if I could get my music blaring in there, no way would they forget to lock the sound room. Check the handle, yep it's locked, push the door, holy shit. They didn't close the door all the way on this one either. So I ended up running around 3 miles worth, man it was funny when the old security guy came in the gym that was supposed to be empty and here I am running with Danzig and Slipknot blaring

Irontime,

You stated that you aren't as close to a six pack as you would like to be, maybe the problem is that you are too close to a six pack if you know what I mean. (Blood, Sweat, and BEERS).


Posted by: irontime

Ya, that is a little bit of a hinderance

ROTF.....

That has to be the longest fuking first post in a journel I`ve ever seen!!!! LOL

Ah shit, it must have got screwed up on the transition over from MM, the "1/8" was in a smaller size, the damn copy/paste method didn't pull to well
thanx fixed it lol


Posted by: irontime

Well I payed the price today. Yesturday's 5 am wake up left me too damn tired to run in the morning so I decided to do it before The phys ed class. Today I also made the mistake of cheating a little bit for lunch, I had a chicken burger wit bacon and onion rings. About an hour after I eat that I go for my run.

The people that are going to be doing their presentation are in the gym early setting up, and most of them are girls, HOT girls. So I start my run, bad mistake. About two laps after I start I'm out of breath, but I refuse to let myself give up in front of the ladies. So I force myself to keep going, about six laps later I taste onion ring bile in my throat, still won't give in, I force another 8 laps out. Ok enough showing off, I gave up.
Going to do shoulders right now then I'll hit the stepper.

Thats cheating a little bit?!


Posted by: dvlmn666

hey IT, as long as you were running and not stumbling around the tack. Get any numbers outa that little exhibition?

j/k

at least you still went and did the work. and hell gotta cheat sometimes. I do it one day a weekend.


Posted by: irontime

Ya cheating is fun sometimes, I cheated again last night but it was for a good cause. I ended up getting drunk with two chicks and it ended up with the three of us in my dorm. They were in there bra's and I was in my underwear. I tried but it didn't get much further than that, a couple of good feels but that's about it. So I ended up skipping today as I was still drunk this morning, hell I just finished drinking again at lunch so I'm still drunk right now. I'm gonna stop alcohol for a good month after Sunday, i'd asy today but wrestlemaniais theis weekend and I'll have a few for that


Posted by: irontime

Damn, barely any of my posts made sense yesturday, oh well.
Did great today. After my chest workout I hit the stepper and made a new personal best. I went on the 'iron lung' setting and on level 9 for 22 minutes. I was drenched when I got off that. Gonna go do some stomach right away and I'll walk to work tonight if it isn't too cold. That's about 2.5 miles.

Sorry dvlmnn, missed your question, screen was a little blurry yesturday lol Nope no numbers, but they were able to witness some good stamina. Maybe that will give them some ideas


Posted by: dvlmn666

lol, can't say I haven't been at that point when typing before **efg**

awesome on your best, soon you'll be up to the point were you can do that one race you were talkin about before.

good luck on the security stuff, hey sometimes that candy a$$ music gets some fine women. keep your eyes open.

this zombie concert has become a pain in the a$$ but now I'm going by myself and will have a great time.

and after Wrestlemania you better get back to your diet, or I'll have abs before you will.


Posted by: irontime

All right, no more beer I was a slug this morning. The slight throbbing and queezy feeling in my stomach told me I wasn't running. I'll see what happens this afternoon if I can make it or not. Not much of a journal entry eh?


Posted by: dvlmn666

Looks like we both managed to be lazy a$$'s today. lol


Posted by: irontime

Well I did good this afternoon. Arm workout kicked ass, I was able to curl the 75lbs dumbells a couple of times, well more like one and a half times, but still it's an improvement. After that I hit the stepper hard. Did 3 miles on the ironlung level 9. Frickin wasted me.


Posted by: dvlmn666

oh sure, damn I have to work tonight, so no night workout for me.

good job though dude, tomorrow's chest and bi's for me.


Posted by: irontime

Simple day so far, Had a good run this morning plan on hitting the treadmill this afternoon. Did some abs this morning and will again later but that's about it for working out today.


Posted by: irontime

Well did legs today. Kinda tried out your idea for calves dvlmn, with the 75's and all. For calve raises I have to use the seated leg press so this is what I did
15 raises on 260kg
30 raises on 130kg
30 raises on 70kg
At least I'm assuming that they are in kg, the damn thing are just numbered 1-26 lol. Wanted to do stepper before the workout but the machine was taken so I tried after, lasted about 7 minutes, so from now on it's only before I do legs


Posted by: dvlmn666

that isnt' the 75 rep thing for calves. Want me to post it somewere? I found it in a magazine, and SC over at the other board posted it once.

But good job on what ya did. On sat I'll try the thing and drop the weights like you did. Gotta change it up every once in a while.

Hey a good thing after legs that I've found so they don't get so tight taht evening or next day, is to ride bike for about 15-30 minutes after you work them.

When I was able to do that, before it seemed to work. Plus kept burnin some extra cals.

Tomorrow I'm gonna see if our steppers have that Iron Lung level. See if I can even do that thing.


Posted by: kuso

Dvlman...can you post that 75 deal somewhere...I was looking for it at mm.com, but couldn`t seem to find it.


Posted by: irontime

Ya please post it bud, I want to try that. I'll have to do the bike for 15 minutes after legs from now on, then maybe I'll be able to run the next day lol
That iron lung level has been called different things on different steppers. It should be on the bottom right hand side of the programs. It basically starts out low, goes straight up high,works down half, works up high again, then drops straight down low.


Posted by: irontime

Legs hurt this morning so I only went 1 mile. I noticed last night that my stomach is looking better so I weighed myself this morning, 210lbs, I dropped 5lbs. Dvlmn you are going DOWN buddy
Have shoulders this afternoon, I'll hit the stepper after that.


Posted by: dvlmn666

same here bud, saturday is the day i weight myself, but last sat was down to 204

plus people here at work were actually saying stuff since for a change yesterday I didn't wear my usual baggy shirts

hey, let's make this more interesting. Whoever get there 6 pack first gets a case of there fav beer from the other?

I'll be updating my stuff in a bit.

Good job though dude.


Posted by: dvlmn666

Here you guys go. sorry took so long to get this thing posted. Been kinda busy today

http://www.ironmagazine.com/forum/sh...&threadid=5442

Let me know what you guys think. For me half the time my calves stay sore for about 3 days afterwards.


Posted by: irontime

Looks great, I'll give it a go and let you know which one I found hurt the most.

Bets on, only I'd like to make an alteration if you don't mind. Lets see who can look the best by April 25. I'm going to lose access to computers and digi cams after that. Would that work for you?

p.s. I drink Labatt Blue


Posted by: dvlmn666

Ok, but who are the judges. No one sided judging from people like skipper

j/k, but sounds good to me. And I prefer Schmirnoff Ice

Anyway, it's on and sounds good.


Posted by: dvlmn666

whichhhh by the way you never said thanks for letting skipper know were ya went. Now you owe me


Posted by: irontime

We should be able to judge, or the people that look at our journals can jump in with their views, no bias opinion from S-G either though.

And ya i owe you one for the skipper thingy, damnit, I tell her where this place is and she says she'll check it out, you tell her where it is and she's over here in one day.bastard
jk bro


Posted by: dvlmn666

sounds good to me, guess it's on. April 25, we both put pix up. And decide from there who gets the case of said beer.

Damn that means have to put off a weekend of drinking til then.

and hey what can I say, guess I had a little pull, well that and she probably missed ya


Posted by: irontime

sniff, if only that were true ,
Anyways, started the day off right. I was up by 5:45 had some milk, and was running by 6:30. Had the place to myself again so I was able to blast Slipknot, which always helps. Pulled off 3 miles, then I had a good ab workout and I beat the shit out of the heavy bag. I should be at the heavy bag a little more often as for some reason I am being very bitchy lately and losing my temper for no reason, I normally don't do that. Oh well, at least I'm taking it out on the bag and no one else

It was pretty funny this morning though as the speakers for the court where you do laps and the weight room are connected to the same player. When I was in the weight room an elderly couple came to walk laps in the court and wanted to listen to the radio so they got the security gaurd to open the speaker room and turn up the volume. By the time they realized that it wasn't the radio playing but my head-banging cd the door was already closed/locked and the guy was gone, those poor folks had a good 15 minutes of Slipknot by the time the door got opened again

Sidenote; I should be able to get some updated pics up soon, well as quickly as my buddy is able figure out his new digi-cam

I had that happen one week when my carb intake went down to about 15%. lmao wasn't paying attention and didn't have time to go to the store and buy bagels or anything. got called a few things here at work that week. lmao

That's gotta be so awesome to get to listen to your music in there without having to have it on headphones.


Posted by: irontime

I don't know if it's the carbs, I think it's just because it's getting to the end of the year and there is a lot of shit on my mind.

And ya the music without headphones actually seems to help more can't quite figure that one out.


Posted by: irontime

Had a good cardio and chest workout today. I'm thinking of taking 3 or 4 days off of the weights as my muscles are constantly feeling sore and beat up. Might just need to rest them a bit. But don't worry Dvlmn, I won't be going off cardio, don't want to make it too easy for ya


Posted by: dvlmn666

lol hey stop stressin dude a case doesn't cost that much j/k but hey just relax finals suck, but you'll do great.

and do you really think I'd let ya wimp out on the cardio? If your feellin sore that much, yeah take some time off of lifting for a bit. Then you'll be able to come back better than before.

hmmm or might that crabby part be comin from the same prob i have. "to much blood in the alcohol system"


Posted by: irontime

Well if it's too much blood in the alcohol system then I helped that out a little bit. Not too much though, only a couple of beer. I mainly stuck to whisky and some red wine, but I stopped before I got drunk. Still not a good thing, but what can I say I like my booze

did good this morning. Woke up early and ran 2.5 miles then did some stomach. Should be taking some pics on the digi cam tonight so hopefully I'll have updated ones for you tomorrow.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hi it, looking forward to the pics...and I must say, you drank an interesting mix of alchohol. Beer, whisky, and red wine? What up with that?

Great job on the run this morning...where do you run? Outside or on a treadmill? I know you live in Canada...where it can be pretty cold!


Posted by: irontime

Ya no shit, it's still snowing over here right now, damn that sucks. I do my running around the basketball court, it's great as no one goes there early and I can listen to whatever I want.

And as for the mix....well... I also had a couple of revs so include 'vodka' into the brew


Posted by: dvlmn666

lmao, hmmmm what's the deal. Might as well just send me the case now. hehe j/k

as long as ya had fun. and yeah let's see them pix buddy. Wow running around the bb court reminds me of playing basketball in High School lol. what a pain. But it's always easier when you get to listen to something motivating like slipknot

alright dude, good job getting that alcohol system replenished, now get to work.


Posted by: irontime

Going to have to postpone pics until tonight, hopefully, my buddy who owns the digi-cam lent it out and never had it returned.

Well screwed myself over for today. The bar I work at had Headstones playing last night and they let me in for free on my nights off so I ended up partying it up a little too much. Damnit. Ah well, college life eh? I'm still a little tipsy so I think today is an off day And since I'm wasting space I may as well through in that Headstones had an opening band called 'Crunch' I think you would really like them Dvlmn, I did. In concert they sound like a cross between Godsmack and the old Metallica. Unfortunately their cd doesn't sound as good as they did live.


Posted by: dvlmn666

I haven't heard of them, but will be worth checking out then. Down's new cd comes out today I'll let ya know what I think of it later

Hey at least you had fun. Have you started eating more small meals yet dude? even with all your drinking that might help get ot your goals better than starving yourself like you'd said you were gonna do before.


Posted by: irontime

Of course you haven't heard of 'Crunch', there is no such band. My alcohol warped mind got the name wrong, the name of the band is 'Chunk' oops.
Having a change of heart right now and i'm about to go do the stepper on iron lung level 9, 22 minutes. Have you been able to find the 'iron lung' level on your thing yet dvlmn? And I did start eating smaller meals so that should help and it's a lot nicer than the starving thing, go figure
Right now the battery is charging for the cam so I definitely will have some pics for you tomorrow, audios


Posted by: dvlmn666

Good luck on the stepper dude. I haven't actually looked for that setting yet. lol. Knees have been sore so been doing the eliptical lately. But probably one of these next days I'm going to do the stepper and see if I can't beat your time on that one.

Glad you started eating better, I used to eat the 2 meals a day way for a long time. and it just plain old sucks, plus you'll end up losing alot of muscles as well as fat on that kinda diet.

Good luck on the 'iron lung'

I needed luck today, oh well I made it. Just thought I'd stop in and put up the pics. They aren't great but good enough.

Won't be able to run early tomorrow as I have to work tonight. Big Wreck is playing so that should be kinda fun, even though they are not really my type of music it's at least a live band.


Posted by: dvlmn666

hey dude, much better pix. You've got some serious size

Hope the show was pretty cool last night.


Posted by: irontime

Thanx bro, I'm dissapointed in myself for neglecting abs the way I did though. The show was alright, not as many people showed up as for the Headstones, but it was good.
I want to work out today but don't know when I can. Pretty busy schedule with about 7 hours worth of class and an essay to write. Might just have to go to bed early and wake up early tomorrow to run.


Posted by: dvlmn666

yeah sometimes have to get the school stuff done first. Just hit it hard tomorrow.

Hey at least you can say you neglected them. Better than me, I'm working on getting mine to show for the first time ever.

And hey this time just have to keep em. At least that's my plan, after this I'm going to try to gain back up to 220. while keeping the 6 pack


Posted by: irontime

That's a great goal dude, I'm sure you can do it
Well i had one hell of a backfire on me. As you know I took a few days off of the weights to heal up and also because this weekend is a long one. I normally don't have too much else to do on longweekends so I hit the gym really hard. I got up early this morning to go run and noticed there was a new posting on the door. "Must be the weekend hours for the gym" I thought.
Sure enough it's the weekend hours for the gym;
"The basketball court and exercise facilities will be closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday"
..........shit. So I did my run (2 miles), May as well do shoulders and back this afternoon and hope that there is somewhere open uptown on Saturday to do chest and arms. Well that kinda screwed up this weekend, ah well

This is the best I ever had them right now too. Don't have much but I'm scared of losing what I've got.


Posted by: kuso

Got the same shyt here too bud.

I`ve got to work all day Friday and Saturday...and my peice of shyt gym suddenly decides to have a holiday on Sunday!!


Posted by: dvlmn666

I'm lucky on this one. sunday they have off at my gym (and it was my off day unless i decided to do cardio). Arround here it's all busines so hardly any holiday hours. Heck my cousins kid works at a grocery story and they are open all day every day over the holiday.

IT, dude you can still do abs at home. and well maybe a longer rest than you planned might be good to let you heal up even more. Then come back on tuesday to hit the weights hard.

and well both of us are trying to get our abs the best ever so far which is cool, more incentive.

just don't give up and just send me the case because would take the fun out of it


Posted by: irontime

LMAO, Don't worry there won't be any case sending. I always wanted to go to Cali and was intending to after I started teaching. It might take a couple of years but by that time if we keep doing competitions I should have about 15 cases waiting for me. Sounds like the perfect holiday


Posted by: dvlmn666

hmmm if we're gonna keep this a running competition, your vacation could get rather expensive, with all the beer you'll be buyin me **efg**

yeah when your done get your a$$ down here and we'll party. Found some cool bars but hardly anybody i know here wants to go to them bunch of candy a$$'s


Posted by: irontime

Well had a shitty workout this afternoon. I was still able to pull some heavy weight around but it just didn't seem like I was in the mood to workout. Which really sucks considering I had a few days off. At least I went I guess. I didn't really do too much more cardio so I'm going to walk to work so that will add a couple of miles. Hopefully I'll be able to use somebodies computer this weekend or this will be my last journal entry till Tuesday.


Posted by: dvlmn666

Well if I don't see ya til then, have a good holiday dude. And just hit the weights harder tuesday. After being ready to lift and then getting that news this morning probably kinda killed the mood for ya goin this afternoon.


Posted by: irontime

Well me and my buddy decided to take a little road trip on Saturday and hit a bigger gym somewhere, there's enough towns around here that there should be something. Then we'll do chest, arms, and tri's. So that should help out there. But ya I was pretty bummed about finding out the gym would be closed all weekend, didn't think it would wreck my day though.


Posted by: irontime

Had probably one of the best chest workouts that I had all year today. Went to a bigger gym and they had dumbells that went up to 125lbs. (Gym at the college only goes up to 105) I was able to pull off six reps of the 125's. Might have been able to do more but my workout buddy drank too much last night and was rendered useless today. I was also able to try dvlmn's infamous eliptical runner today. Not bad, I like how easy it is on the knee's, but it doesn't quite kick your ass like the stepper.


Posted by: dvlmn666

wow, dude awesome

the knees is why I usually do the eliptical. but your right nothing kicks my ass like the stepper does either.


Posted by: kuso

I`m going to revert to being the black sheep again here.............we`ve got the standard bikes, those bikes where your legs are in front of you rather than below, steppers, and eliptical!

Eliptical absolutely KILLs me!!!! 15 minutes on it at a reasonable pace and I`m nothing but jello.

I`l stick with the bikes and steppers thanks!


Posted by: irontime

Lazy bastard this morning. I set the alarm early to go running, ended up going back to bed. But at least I still got up early enough to do some stomach. Just finished working legs, had a pretty good workout there. For calves I did two sets of the 75 rep scheme, and one set of drops. That's gonna hurt tomorrow I did 15 minutes on the bike right after so hopefully that'll take away some of the pain.

Tomorrow I'm not going to puss out. I'm setting my alarm for 6. I'm running and hitting the heavy bag.


Posted by: dvlmn666

cool dude, was wondering if you were gonna wimp out today


Posted by: irontime

Nope, didn't drink last night
Actually I was considering wimping out as I have a slight headache. Apparently when you are using contact cement and the warning label tells you to use it in a well ventalited area, the well ventilated area has to be better than a modest sized dorm room with the windows closed. Go figure


Posted by: irontime

I was amazed at how well going on the bike for 15 minutes after a leg workout helps to take away the pain the next day. Thanx for the advice dvlmn

Well I was able to get my sorry ass out of bed early this morning and run about 2.5 miles. My legs were tired because of yesturday but at least they weren't sore. Will do the stepper this afternoon.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

You and dvlmn do enough cardio for all of us!

That's it, I'm not doing any cardio anymore. Cool? And will you do some walking lunges on my behalf as well?


Posted by: dvlmn666

your welcome dude. Glad it helped.

Good luck on the stepper this afternoon though.

lol@LeDix, do you really think you can stop doin cardio? well all know that's when you get to listen to your boy bands


Posted by: irontime

lol Maybe that's why she wants to stop doing cardio. Hell if I had to listen to that crap every time I went to the gym I'd seriously consider quitting myself.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Now wait just a minute! I should burn a copy of one of my workout CDs for both of you boys...

Britney
Christina
NSync
BSB
Pink
J-Lo
Spice Girls
Mary J. Blige

And I keep forgetting to add some Milli Vanilli to a new mix CD.

Ha!


Posted by: dvlmn666

good point there IT, maybe that's why she's trying to make us do her cardio for her.

We should make her one, I'd start it with these.

Pantera
Slipknot
American Head Charge
Dope
Danzig
Fear Factory

I'm sure IT can ad to the list for ya.


Posted by: irontime

Damn rights I can buddy, here you go Miss ledix;
Corrosion of Conformity
Grip Inc.
Testament
Six Feet Under
Godsmack

the list could go on, but I think that should help her out a bit


Posted by: dvlmn666

dude, didn't know you liked COC. then you deffinately have to check out the new Down cd.

but yeah, that should be a godo start for her, when she gets tired of those, she'll know were to come and ask for more reccomendations.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

OMG..I hate all that crap! About as heavy as I get is some Metallica, AC/DC....

I was a metal chick some years ago..Metal-Lite, I guess. Skid Row, Warrant, Poison, Tuff, Pretty Boy Floyd, LA Guns, Faster Pussycat...all that type of stuff.

No big deals, I guess it would be strange for a man to like all that pop stuff!

BWAHAHAHAHA, Oh my fricken god! Is that what a metal chick constitues of? Poison? Warrant?


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Did I not say Metal-LITE? Did I not say Metal-GLAM? Okay, I didn't mention the glam part..but those bands were considered metal, okay? Shut up! I had a leather jacket and was a total badass!


Posted by: irontime

uh huh. I can picture miss bad ass in her leather jacket, lighting up a cigarrette *snicker* while she pops in the tape of *hhmmmppp* FASTER PUSSYCAT


Posted by: Miss LeDix

I never smoked. Wait, I did buy a pack of Capri's once so I could look cool. But I got over that real quick.

I'm suprised. You being so pornal...FP has some of the most pornal songs..I'd think you would like that.

Slip of the Tounge is one I remember...I know they have more though.

Hold up, I forgot one Enuff Z Nuff...or however you spell it.


Posted by: dvlmn666

roflmao, wow you were seriously into the Glam Metal stuff. I was forced to hear it in HS. But always metal at heart. even back then, when I brought the music everybody complained about it. Because it was always to heavy for them. bunch of candy a$$'s. I hated growing up there.


Posted by: irontime

Same problem over here buddy. When My classmates were listening to MC Hammer, marky mark, and that crap, I was listening to Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Danzig.
Man what a bunch of pansies.

Hold on a second, just because one is pornal doesn't mean he has to have pornal entertainment. I think that it is the people who do not go on dates or anything that are the ones who use the pornal music/movies.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

dvlmn, where did you grow up that you hated it so much?

IT, I must disagree. I think that people with perfectly normal social lives can enjoy sexual music or other forms of sexual entertainment.

Right in the middle of North Dakota. were there is nothing to do. And unfortunately I wasn't a farm boy. So didn't have the luxury of parents money to go places all the time.

I think when ya talk about sexual music it's more like Type O Neg, or Switchblade Symphony heeheh aka: Goth


Posted by: Miss LeDix

dvlmn, at least you're happier now, right?

I don't listen to 'goth' music, btw. I guess I'm just confused by IT saying that only perverts can listen to music that is perverted. I mean, what about 'Baby's Got Back' by Sir Mix A Lot? I can dig that song...does that mean I'm a freak?


Posted by: irontime

No you're not a freak for listening to that song. I didn't mean that only perverts listen to perverted music, that's reading way to far into what I was saying. i'm actually having a tough time trying to find the words to what I am saying without getting flamed here.
I just find that the more sensual music to be with a woman is the darker goth metal, like dvlmn said Type O Neagative. Their song Love you to death, is the most sensual song I've ever heard and seems to be more romantic than any rap or dance song I've heard out there.
Does that make sense?


Posted by: dvlmn666

yep I like it here. a little expensive but noplace is perfect.

lol, I didn't think you listened to goth music but hey was worth a shot.

and we're all freaks, some just don't know it yet. **efg**


Posted by: irontime

Well just finished doing the stepper. I'll do some abs later tonight. Would do it now but I have to eat and go to a class. So if I don't post in here later tonight, I am planning on running again tomorrow morning.


Posted by: irontime

I really slugged it out of bed this morning. I didn't get out till about 7 and by that time there was already a couple of older folks walking laps around the gym. That's great that they can do that, but I find it irritating to constantly change my path to go around them so I just did 1.5 miles on the treadmill. I actually find that the treadmill burns me out faster than running laps. Can't figure that one out. I was still able to do some abs this morning, not as much as I wanted to as I was behind schedule. I'll do more abs and the stepper after my shoulder workout this afternoon.


Posted by: dvlmn666

hey at least you went. Treadmill is probably harder because you have to go the same pace, no slowdowns or you end up on your face lol.


Posted by: irontime

Had an allright shoulder workout. I was alone so had to go 5 lbs less on the dumbell presses lol. Cardio sucked, I wussed out just after 10 minutes. My legs just couldn't do anymore. I'm not feeling too bad about it though as in health class today they had us running all class and I did cardio about 40 minutes after that class so that might explain it. Also did stomach and I'll do some more again tonight. Thinking about sleeping in tomorrow, but if I do wake up early then I'll go for a run.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hey there cardio king of Canada! Don't feel too bad about missing that cardio, sounds like you did some other stuff instead.

What's your major? When are you graduating?


Posted by: irontime

Cardio king of Canada lol, if you seen me gasping for air half way through my workout you would not be saying that, but it was nice, thanx

I'm majoring in history, but I've still got about 2 1/2 years left. I should have went to college sooner Too busy drinking and having fun to worry about college after high school.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

History? What do you want to do, teach? Listen, it is awesome that you are in school. I went right after high school and it still took me over four years to finish. My husband was in a band after high school, and didn't go to school till much later, and graduated at 30. So don't feel bad. You are doing the right thing.

By the way, I don't like Aberfoyle Springs water.

????? Ok, if you insist.

Yes I am going into teaching. I know it sounds odd, but I was on the pipeline and living in a basement suite of a teacher. My days off were during the week so my girlfriend was working and I didn't have too much else to do so I went and helped him out. I loved it. After pissing around in a few other jobs and a messy breakup I decided to go back to school, and here I am Thanx for the support


Posted by: dvlmn666

Hey dude, glad you went back. You better grow your hair back though, otherwise all your students will be afraid of you. lol j/k

But anyway cool choice, and glad you got to see what it was like before you decided. Sometimes that takes a while to figure out.

You'll do good, plus you have another 2.5 yrs of partying and studying ahead of you. Don't rush it, just have fun.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Aberfoyle Springs, Canadian Spring Water

This is what I am drinking today. We bought a pack of it this past weekend because it was on sale. But I think it tastes funny.

Crazy canadians.


Posted by: irontime

Ya I am having fun dvlmn, it is probably more fun for me because I was out there for a couple of years and I know what it's like to work for your food and bills and pay rent every month. I still do pay for everything but it seems a lot less expensive while in college, plus it's a blast so I'm loving it.

So that's what you're talkng about Miss Ledix, I was a little confused there, that was hard to do eh?


Posted by: irontime

Had a pretty good workout today, went to a bigger gym and took the two guys I'm training with me. It was getting a little annoying as they weren't used to the new equipment and exercises so it went pretty slow so I'll end up doing abs at home.

Didn't do much cardio but I'll walk to work tonight so that will help. At least work tonight should be better than last night. Last night we had 'Honeymoon Suite' and 'Rik Emmet' playing. Boy, am I ever glad they had all the bouncers there for that show. You know how rowdy the crowd gets when Honeymoon Suite hits the stage, lol.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

We're not supposed to know who those bands are, right? I take it you work at a bar or club or something? What do you do there?


Posted by: irontime

I'm a bouncer at a night club. It fits the hours of school quite nicely and it's a fun job while I'm here so what the hell

And I know damn well you know who those bands are


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Bouncer? At a night club? Your puny ass? Just kidding!

Very cool. I was a waitress at a 'dance club/meatmarket' for a while. It was neat at the time. Hooters outfits and everything!


Posted by: irontime

Cool! Got any pics?

It is a fun job at times, can get kind of shitty though. For the year 2001 the bar I work at was rated #1 roughest bar in Canada for 4 months of the year. It was kind of crazy, this year has slowed down a lot.


Posted by: dvlmn666

whohoooo Miss LeDix was a hooters girl

Now those pix I wanna see

Looks like ya had a good workout IT, Jeff and Matt here pull that sometimes and it seems like it takes forever. But at least you got a good workout in


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Nope, no pics. kuso already asked for some. That was before I had a digital camera. Here's the link to the club's site:

http://www.american-pie.com/enterpage.html

No pics of me there either. It was over five years ago when I worked there.


Posted by: irontime

Thanx bro, Next week I'm gonna try for a big jump on chest. The dumbells they have go from 125lbs and it jumps to 145lbs with nothing inbetween. Next week I'm gonna try the 145. I'm honestly not very confident about it but I may as wel give it a go. What's the worst that can happen? Well besides permament injury

that looks like a pretty cool place to work Miss LD, mine's nothing close to that.


Posted by: dvlmn666

dude, just make sure you bring both of your guys, and have both spot you. That's a nasty jump. The ones at ours go up to 180. I've never once seen anybody even try to even lift them off the rack lol.

But just a word of advice, if when you first start them it doesn't feel right, then just go lower.

Also as the one trainer was telling me. Get a spot to get them up, and slowly do negatives with them. After a workout or two that way with that weight, he said getting fulls sets will be no prob.

good luck dude.


Posted by: irontime

Thanx for the advice bud I don't think I want both guys spotting me as if one of them starts to spot and the other doesn't that could really mess me up. I don't think it should be a big issue though. That's the great thing about dumbells, if you can't do it, drop em.


Posted by: dvlmn666

i didn't mean one for each arm, that's be nuts. I meant that would make sure you had good recovery between the warm up sets and that main heavy set. lol

That would be all jacked up if one spotted and the other didn't.

And yep, good point about just dumpin em if there's a prob, just make sure they don't hit your buddies foot. roflmao


Posted by: irontime

Well I have to admit that I like this competition thing. I woke up this morning, reset my alarm for another hour and decided to go back to bed. I lied down and all I could think of was the little bit of time I had left for our competition and it made me get my ass out of bed and go run. So I did do my run this morning, didn't do any abs yet. I'll do them after the stepper this afternoon.


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hi IT, have you started doing your cardio on an empty stomach in the morning like I have? It seems okay so far.

I like the competition, too! I want to see all post-competition pics!


Posted by: irontime

I am doing it on an empty stomach. I actually prefer it as I normally don't eat breakfast and when I tried having something before I ran I usually felt a little bit sick so I'm glad for all the suggestions, thanx for the input


Posted by: dvlmn666

cool, dude, glad the competition is workin to help get you to the gym.

helped me get my butt outa bed on saturday.


Posted by: irontime

After this one should we have another one over the summer to see who improved the most?


Posted by: irontime

Well just did the stepper and some abs. It went very well, I'm thinking about upping the stepper time.

Just a quick vent. Last semester I had two classes with this one teacher and he had a major project in each class. Both projects I did the night before they were due and I recieved an 87% and a 92%. This semester I have the same guy for one of my classes and again he had a major project due. I actually worked for weeks on the damn thing. Did a report AND a poster on it and had it done a few days before it was due. I got it back today for a goddamn 52% Luckily the bastard said I could rewrite the report with a few changes that would up my grade dramatically. i'm just having a hard time believing this shit and needed to vent. Thanx guys.


Posted by: dvlmn666

inconsistent teachers suck!!

cool, on uppin the stepper, for some reason lately they they have been busy every morning here I think people are realizing it's spring so they think they can get rid of there a$$'s quick lmao

ok, so you want another bet going for most improved by the end of the summer?

you sure you can afford all this beer your buyin me? j/k


Posted by: irontime

I have a feeling that by the time we are done all of our competitions and by the time I actually get up to sunny california that we are going to get majorly tanked

I don't have that problem with it being busy over here. Luckily Every one here is still too lazy to admit that they are out of shape so they leave the gym alone

Right now I'm trying to look at the bright side of that assignment, that he is letting me make changes to it and hand it in again. I was just in major shock when I seen that. It almost killed my attitude this afternoon but having a good workout seems to make everything a little bit better so that's good. Hey, how about that. Something pissed me off and I didn't drink to feel better. Wow, hope that doesn't happen to often


Posted by: dvlmn666

uh oh, is this a new IT? lol j/k

but hey gotta keep goal in mind. Hate to see you forfeit to me that easily.


and hey, who said we weren't gonna be getting tanked down here. Sure as hell sounds like a plan to me.

hmmm, ok what are the rules to this new one for after the summer.


Posted by: irontime

How about we have our pics that we will be taking at the end of this contest as the before pics for our next contest. And when I get back (Early September) We take new pics and see who made the most improvement from their old? (Did any of that make sense?)

Started the day off right. Was at the gym by 6:15 and did 3 miles. Followed by a half decent ab workout. I'll do the stepper after arms today and get in some more abs.


Posted by: Eggs

So, uh... what were the errors that would have changed your grade dramatically?

And why the hell isnt he living in a small hole right now?

Just kidding there! (Not really, but nobody knows that... whew).

Hope the report comes back with a better grade this time Iron.

Eggs


Posted by: irontime

Thanx Eggs I didn't get to see the teacher actually. He took off for the week and I picked it up from his office and it had a few things on there that I could change. Just little stuff about getting a more sociological point of view. I'm glad he wasn't there as he is one of my favorite teachers and I know I probably would have said something I would have regretted if he was there. Now that I look at it, it is no big deal. So I spen a few hours on it, make some changes, and get a high mark. That's not so bad


Posted by: dvlmn666

ok, IT i'll agree to that one. Gonna win another case from ya

So, the completion of this contest will be the beginning of the summer one.


Posted by: irontime

I actually won't be starting the next contest for at least a week after the first one is over, I'm trying to give you a head start so that you may actually have a chance this time J/k bro, I just know that when I get home the first week is going to be crappy for training as there is already talk of partying it up as a bunch of us go home for the summer. Tough times eh?


Posted by: dvlmn666

oh yes, such a rough time.

and hey after I kick your butt this time, you'll need a week to drown the sorrows in beer j/k

but sounds good, and hey a week off never killed anybody since it's like 3 months to see who makes the best improvement.


Posted by: irontime

Allrighty, just so we have it straight. We are comparing abs to each other this time. Next time we are comparing who improved the most? That sound right to you?

I just want to make sure that we both have it straight so that I don't have to hear you whining about you not being clear on the rules when I kick your ass at the end of summer.j/k


Posted by: dvlmn666

sounds good to me, you better start saving up for all this beer your gonna owe me. j/k

but it sounds good to me.


Posted by: irontime

Had an excellent arm workout, but on my last exercise I felt a slight 'twinge' in my lower back. I don't think it's anything big, but I'm not going to push for cardio tonight. I'll see how it feels tomorrow.


Posted by: dvlmn666

hey dude, if it hurts tomorrow. just chill. last time i did that to my back it took almost 3 weeks til I could do any back workout.

but if it feels good, then hit it hard. Could have just been some funny angle or something.

Dude, take care of that. I`m still having trouble since January.....at the very least I`d cut your deads and squats for a week and see how it feels

Lookin forward to seeing the results from you guys......give me a bit of insentive to lose this spare tire I got happening.


Posted by: irontime

Everything seems to be fine today. But I'll make today day a rest day just to be sure. And if you want to jump in there Kuso I'm sure me and dvlmn wouldn't mind getting the extra case from you Wait a minute, your'e down south ain't ya? Nevermind, he'd probably try to pay us with that Aussie beer



Posted by: kuso

Thanks for the offer, but to begin with, it`d have to be changed to JD!

No, I`ve actually got at least another month where I`m trying to bulk up before I even look at doing cardio


Posted by: dvlmn666

hey at last ya like good whiskey there kuso

so that's what your callin it these days "bulking up" heehe j/k, hope it works for ya

IT, good idea, then hit it hard tomorrow.

Posted by: irontime

Really dogged it today. Had a pretty decent shoulder workout but that was about it. All the cardio equipment was taken up and I can't go later tonight because....well....there is kinda this party going on that I was hoping to go to So I better bust my ass hard tomorrow.

lmao, was wondering if you managed to get in today.

But have fun at the party, I just found out next weekend, the company is sending me to San Diego, for a meeting on friday and letting me stay til sunday. so I'll be missing 3 days, can't pass up a free weekend, they are paying for everything the whole weekeend.


Posted by: irontime

Well I had fun at the party Could lead to some fuqed up consequences but it was fun nonetheless.

Starting to highly doubt my intentions of hitting the gym today as I apparently drank too much last night. Ah well, tomorrow I try doing the 145lb dumbells for bench for the first time and I should be rested up anyways. I am going to go for a 5 mile walk though. Can't be too lasy today.

That's cool about San Diego, have fun dude


Posted by: dvlmn666

holy shit dude, sounds Very interesting.

Expecialy if they are gonna be back again next year when school starts to.

But hey, gotta play it out. options are quite endless on this one.

Thanks dude I'll have fun, that's my fav place here in Cali to go. I want to move there someday.

Good luck on the bench, just be careful. I'd rather win the case by hard work and not because you got injured.


Posted by: irontime

Well I'm not too impressed right now. Neither one of the dickheads that I work out with was home today so there went my hopes of going to the bigger gym and trying the 145's
I ended up doing chest, some cardio and abs though. Still I'm a little choked that I couldn't go try them, I was looking forward to it. I'm definitely going sometime this week to try it.


Posted by: irontime

Haven't worked out yet, but by the time I do the library will be closed so I may as well post it now. I talked to the security guard and I'm allowed to go use the gym for two hours after it is closed, so I get it all to myself which is pretty cool. I'll do cardio, back, legs, and then i'll do the bike so my legs don't hurt tomorrow.


Posted by: dvlmn666

good plan

your lucky, you get to listen to whatever you want.

Really? Seems like the security guard must really, really, really like you to let you work out after the place is closed. What kind of favors did you have to do to get such special treatment?

Once again, the true Miss P comes one step closer to surfacing


Posted by: irontime

Let's see how close to pornality she really is.
So Miss P, what special favours were you thinking of? None of us can think of any, maybe you could come right out and tell us a few?


Posted by: dvlmn666

yeah i wanna hear this


Posted by: irontime

You stay out of this



Posted by: irontime

Well I'm going to waste space telling you all that I'm a lazy slob today. Can't help it, I had an exam this morning and I can never sleep the night before an exam. I went to sleep at midnight and was up by 3 and that was it. No idea why, I wasn't nervous or anything. Oh well, I'm going to bed pretty soon.


Posted by: dvlmn666

hey you, did you do anything today? lol, or just gonna lounge around and study? j/k hope ya got some sleep

Well, I just saw this cute little post.

Imagine my suprise that irontime wants me to get all pornal.


I was thinking that he probably wanted you to show him around the gym...good form for proper exercises and such. Of course, all this would be done nude, but that's besides the point.


Posted by: irontime

Your'e just getting all hot and bothered by thinking of me nude aren't ya

LMAO Dvlmn, I felt like lounging around all day but I had a pretty good cardio, abs, and back workout. Seeing what you typed gave me a little inspiration to get my ass in the gym, lol.


Posted by: dvlmn666

if that's what it takes then so be it.

glad ya had a good workout though, expecially with all the tests and stuff. I'm sure it isn't the easiest to concentrate.

good job


Posted by: irontime

Actually working out is the greatest thing while your'e in exams. It really clears your head. Well it looks like today is the day. My workout buddy said he wanted to try out a different gym today so I get to try the 145's wish me luck.


Posted by: dvlmn666

good luck dude.

yeah your right about it clearing your head. I'm in my own little world when i go there. Then I leave and go to work and it's same ole bs.

But for that time in there I have fun.

oh yeah good luck again.


Posted by: irontime

I don't believe this crap! I really wanted to try those damn 145's, read this;
http://ironmagazineforums.com/showth...6706#post66706


Posted by: dvlmn666

wtf is up with that.

dang, well coulda done dumbell exensions for your tri's with the 145 dumbell. well that or go for the half chest isolation press. lmao j/k

that just totaly sucks dude. sorry to hear it.


Posted by: dvlmn666

have a good weekend. Take it easy.


Posted by: irontime

You too bro, take her hard
Oops, forgot to post yesturday that I did cardio and abs. I also did some alcohol so that may be why I forgot


Posted by: irontime

Well once again I'm posting for yesturday where I did some cardio. This is pretty cool, It's 2 pm and I'm pretty much wasted. Right now I'm sitting ion the library with my waterbottle filled with rye and coke, it's kinda fun , well ok, it's fun for me. Not doing anything today. Big surpirse eh?


Posted by: Sosunni

Hey IT, I read this and immediately thought of you! Gee.. I don' t know why.

"Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer"


Posted by: irontime

I have no idea why you would think of me after reading that?
But i'm going to have to piss off right away, I only had 3 hours sleep last night and I feel like I'm going to pass out in the library. But then again this could make for ome hell of a story.

p.s. Love the quote, will consider making it my sig when I'm sober


Posted by: CLPgold

I am drinking my 3rd beer this early Sunday morning. After drinking last night til 4:00am.

It's the only way I'm going to get any housework and cooking done. If I don't drink it will be too boring. Plus I'll eat everything in sight. If I'm gonna have a bad binge day, I'm gonna make it worth it!


Posted by: irontime

fuqin A I'm drunk right now too. I've been at it all weekend but I've had a hell of a time. Shit I'm going to miss college. Oh well, at least I'm leaving witha bang


Posted by: CLPgold




Posted by: dvlmn666

lmao, sure I leave for a weekend and you end up drinking like a fish

Glad you had fun dude.


Posted by: irontime

Hey it's my last weekend here, it had to be done
I'm probably going to need a couple of days to recooperate from the weekend. I'm still feeling sluggish from the booze and I have cuts, scrapes, bumps on my head, and bruises all over me. Me and my buddies were wrestling around at the bar and it tends to get a little rough, damn it was fun So how was your weekend dude?


Posted by: dvlmn666

Weekend was alot of fun and very relaxing. Not as much partyin as you had but hey, gotta live it up and have fun while you can

met this really cool chic on the plane back to.

so wanna take pix for the case tonight then you can just finish the week partyin. and drown your sorrows of losing to me **efg** j/k

whatcha have a HBWA = Hardcore Bar Wrestling Association sounds like fun.



Posted by: irontime

Well i can take the pics tommorrow, have to wait until this one guy gets in in order to borrow the digi-cam. So you keep telling yourself that you are going to win for one more dya before I smash your hopes tommorrow

So whats going on with this chick? You two hooking up?

The bar wrestling is pretty fun, Luckily I'm one of the few that can pick people up and slam them, but unfortunately it's not always a one-on-one match and I get my share of drops too. Fun then, hurts the next day,, wonder why?


Posted by: dvlmn666

so tomorrow pix? lol

i'm gonna try, but she was down there meeting somebody she met online. lmao

didn't sound to enthused abotu the whole things so, gonna see if can't hook up with her


Posted by: irontime

Right on buddy, do what you can.

And ya may as well put up the pics tommorrow, I wish I took them last week as I have gotten softer since then. Who knew that a three day drunk would make you look a little bit more gushy


Posted by: dvlmn666

well I haven't done cardio since last wed so me to. lol, thinking i should use the pic i took last lmao.

Oh well, still all in fun, and I'll enjoy my case of beer

don't forget you do have a chance at redemption over the summer, so don't be to down. j/k dude


Posted by: irontime

Are we allowed to use the pics we took last? Actually I guess that wouldn't count for me as in the one where I'm showing my abs I'm kinda holding down a bit of flab to make it look better, I guess no holding down the stomach with your hands in this one eh?

And I already told myself that if I look bad for this pic I will have a better chance to look better for the next one, so if anything we might be even. That's a big IF I don't win tomorrow, lol. But it was fun, thanx dude It did help motivate me too, well except for last week


Posted by: dvlmn666

lmao, nope no holding down the gut or giving yourself shading with your arms to make it better lol.

me to about the last week with the concert and vacation and everything.

It's been fun. Now for the next one over the summer, this one will be interesting, we both have plenty of time.


Posted by: irontime

No holding down the gut or shading? Aw come on
Well I took two pics, this one is further away, can see a little bit of muscle at the top.


Posted by: irontime

And you can really see the effect that my three day drunk has had on me with this one


Posted by: irontime

Well that's it. You can see some at the top but nothing I'm proud of. I'm going to try and make this summer a damn near alcohol free one and see if I can drop 10 - 15 pounds. So let's see yours bud.


Posted by: dvlmn666

Well, I'm at the best I've ever been but still not were I want to be. But hey it was fun and we both made improvements. Check em out they are in my journal.

I actually think we're both at about the same point. To be honest with ya. What do you think?


Posted by: irontime

I don't see how we would be able to judge this one, we are pretty damn close to the same.

So there is only one solution. When I go up there we EACH get a case
...actually we each get a case, plus the one that I will be getting from you for over the summer


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hi IT! You are looking very serious...your arms are very buff! Don't be so hard on yourself...


Posted by: dvlmn666

as much as I hate us to have to drink a case EACH Your right we're both to close to have a clear winner.

you really shouldn't give up so easy on the summer one hahaahh j/k

it'll be fun to see who can stick to it, and show the move improvement. These can be our starting pix for that.


Posted by: irontime

You bastard, you actually made me think that I wrote that and I went back to double check.
I'm pretty dissapointed in myself, I told myself for sure that by the end of this year I would have one, oh well for SURE by the end of summer

Thanx Miss Ledix, but I have to be hard on myself, no one else will be


Posted by: dvlmn666

roflmao gotcha. lol

Hey, look at it this way. We were trying to get the abs to show in a really short time. Now you have all summer to try to match me when you get back. We both improved, now just have to keep going. Now get to work. you better have abs by the end of the summer or you'll be oweing me 2 cases just for being lazy. j/k dude have fun over the summer, but don't forget I'll be kickin your a$$ when you get back.


Posted by: irontime

Keep dreaming, I have to start training for that death race. And I intend on starting to run mountains as soon as I get back......as soon as it warms up enough to get rid of all the snow


Posted by: dvlmn666

cool, so you are gonna do that death race Let us know how that goes.

no dreaming, just warning you bud.


Posted by: irontime

I can't wait to get started the summer actually. I am going to miss college, but it will be nice to have all the stress off. Plus I will be doind my drug test on Monday so I can start up my very much missed supplements Monday night


Posted by: dvlmn666

yeah, some time without the stress will be nice.

and exactly what sups are you takin? that new injectable protein mix I've heard about?



Posted by: irontime

Nope, I wish.
I used to do small amounts but haven't touched it in 1 year 5 months. err, we are thinking along the same lines here right?


Posted by: Miss LeDix

Yes, what are you talking about??


Posted by: dvlmn666

Yeah, I'm talking about that new injectible protein "Juice". Maybe you haven't seen the info for it then. You should look into it, it's supposed to make ya huge. roflmao

I've never used it but maybe somewere along the way might.


Posted by: irontime

lol, I thought that was what you were going off on. Tried it a couple of times before, nothing to serious, I took less than half the recommended minimum dosage and only for a couple of months each time, so no serious use for me. I'm bigger now than I ever have been, and that's with almost 1.5 year off, so I'm not too sure when I'll try taking another 'protein bar'
But if you ever do decide to try and have questions feel free to pm me. I have a couple of books on them and have done a lot of research.


Posted by: dvlmn666

yeah that's years down the road. Have alotof gains to make before then. But don't worry I'd definately get opinions and research to find out everything I can first.

Good to see your ready to have a good summer. enjoy it while you can. as you get older it's harder to get long breaks for vacations.

and I just had to mess with ya. have to make sure you stya motivated so I don't win over the summer to easily.


Posted by: irontime

hehe, don't worry pal, I know all about the no summers. I was out doing shitty work which is why I chose to go back to school. Actually I'm not getting any summer this year, I start work in about a week.

You stay motivated too, just don't feel too bad when I come back with a 6-pack Well I'll give it a good go, Have a great summer bud


Posted by: dvlmn666

this your last day here dude?

and hey at least whatever your workin at, have fun this summer.

and don't worry I'll have my 6 in the next couple months. so get ready to buy me a case after the summer is over.


Posted by: irontime

Your 6 will have to beat my 6 first

I'm only one who is thinking we shouldn't be talking about that thing we are so far away from getting?


Posted by: dvlmn666

hey, we'll got get them, just have to beleive you will. Then it makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Have a great summer dude.


Posted by: irontime

bump


Posted by: dvlmn666

w/b dude


Posted by: irontime

Well may as well keep this thread going as I can't think of a better title than that
Had an awesome summer for training except for the chest injury. I hit the gym 5-6 times a week for about 2 hours each day, I was also able to go mountain running/crawling about 15 times this summer and I walked an average of 10 miles a day at work so all in all it went pretty good. Weight dropped down to 202,compared to 225 I was at when I went home for the summer and everything except my chest made improvement.

Trying to keep things going here, not drinking.....much, and I'm doing an hour of cardio a day. It's going to be a real challenge as everyone wants to go party and I'm staying at home, just got to keep the greater goal in mind though.


Posted by: butterfly

Good luck!

What are you studying???


Posted by: irontime

for some reason I'm going to be a teacher


Posted by: butterfly

Are you planning to teach in Canada? Hope you get paid more than American teachers.


Posted by: irontime

Have no intention of leaving Canada any time soon, no idea how much American teachers make. Ah well, as long as you love youre job right?

Anyways had a good start to the day, woke up at 6 and hit the stair master for 2 miles and ran 2 on the treadmill, will be doing arms later on.
