Hey, did I hear Cheesecake!!!

How goes it Brother D2???

Posted by: Malley

Not to bad, I feel like a fat lump today, but I havent did anything today so its probably why.

Posted by: yellowmoomba

I like the workout on the 20th!!

The squat numbers are huge!! How are those overhead squats coming along

Posted by: Tom_B

Oh my god .. cheesecake ..

Okay ya this talk of food must stop! Last two times I visited this journal, I left hungry and craving so much junk!! hahaha

Posted by: Malley

YM Squats were a nice suprise especially since I havent did a leg workout in about a week or more. OH Squats kick the shit out of me!!!!

Tom Have a Brownie buddy. You can afford it.

Posted by: Tom_B

Well I plan on having a huge cheat meal or day sometime during March break .. (lol I told one of my friends about my cheat meals and how much I eat and he lost it, he was so happy that I ate that much and he wants me and him to having an eating contest for my next cheat meal/day), so I just gotta hold out till then.. hahaha I don't think it'll be too much of a problem. Just these past two days have been really low carbs, I think that's why I'm so hungry.
+ I'm not one of those people who can have 'one' brownie .. If I eat one, the I have to eat the entire box, once I start all my willpower leaves me.

Posted by: Malley

I am normally like that to!!! I think it is a bad thing for bodybuilders with a strict diet. Once we go off of it its hard to stop!!!

Posted by: Triple Threat

Some people have cheat meals, some have cheat days. I prefer cheat months.

When i have a cheat meal(When im not cutting) its like an apple a medium salad and 3/4 of a pumpkin pie lol! The funnny thing is i could eat more i just stop. Right now its black eyed peas,2 servings of fruit, some protein, and pumpkin puree with splenda actually very good.

I say to hell with cuts for sometime now. Theres no reason, everytime I do I lose strength! I will lose it slowly during the summer and maintain the diet. I am just so active!

I just had a shitty workout today and I've been going hungry for 10 weeks and i still got 4 left to go at very low cals. Seeing abs seems to slightly offset that though

. This is the only reason i would consider roids i mean getting ripped , getting stronger, and gaining muscle!

Posted by: Malley

NO NO NO.....leave those alone by all means. No reason for them.

Heres what you gotta ask yourself:

1. Are you going to compete?
2. Do you have to be strong for a profession you are going into?
3. Is it worth the money?
4. Have you maxed out your potential?
5. In the end is it really worth it?

1. yes maybe in the 200-215 class bodybuilding/powerlifting.
2. no ,but i will enter a power lifting comp when i get a 350 squat 200 bench and a 450 dead.
3.i don't know the cost
4.no
5. I'm not sure D i don't know much about em.

Did you ever use? was it worth it?

Posted by: Brutus_G

Oh and i would like to do an o lift comp to when i can get a 150 snatch and a 200 clean.

Posted by: Malley

I did about 4 years ago. I trained for hypertrophy then so I didnt see much of a strength gain, but my arms went from around 17 all the way to 18 3/4. I ran a 12 week cycle of:
Test Cyp-500mg/week
Deca-400mg/week
Dbol-25mg/day for the first 4 weeks.

Went from 200lbs-235! It was my first true cycle. I did a 3 weeks of sten one time whenever I was even younger!!! I was an idiot and would never tell anyone to try em!!!!

The final result was whenever I got done I got really fat and maintained very very little. I hated it and I immediatly went on a cut! And I ended up virtually where I was before I started, but even smaller!!! Are they worth it, well not for me. However, for someone in their upper 20's and up I wouldnt mind trying it then, but I want to stop the natural gains I am getting now before I do it again! Its a tough call because they produce great results, but in the end I would much rather say it is all me.

Oh and my cycle cost me about 600 bucks!!!!!

Posted by: Malley

350 squat-accomplished in my first 3 years of lifting
200 bench-1rst year
450 dead-3rd year, but for some reason stopped doing them all together and have never seen that number again.

It can all be done naturally, no problem! I do want you to come here sometime and we can go through a workout together. I am very intense and determined to do what I will with those weights whenever I get into that room! I eat that shit up. I do however believe to lift big weights, sometimes your diet has to suffer. Eat more junk foods instead of things like chicken breast, or eat 3 times the amount of chicken. For my lifts to really go up I have to really eat over maintenence!

Awesome Brother Brutus, Go for it!!! Competeing that is!!!

God thats expensive

How do you lose all of what you gained? Why do people use them if they are counterproductive? Sten?

Posted by: Malley

I cant really tell you much about Sten. It was in a glass vial.

I think you can keep gains, but I dont think I knew enough to do them at that point. Besides that I think the Nolva the guy sold me for my pct wasnt nolva!

It makes a huge difference with how much you eat. Its ahrd to find the sweet spot.

I weigh around 210 now and I get guessed at 180 all the time.

LOL man i gotta get to 215 to look 185 lol.

Oh well i guess its cause we put mass on everywhere and not just on the beach muscles.

Posted by: Malley

Yeah thats exactly it. I used to train for hyp all the time. Now I am a freak about numbers. So now I train everything for strength, and imo I have gotten smaller looking. Oh well much stronger now.

It's weird how that works huh? You know im gonna start doing negs on the bench. I actually think i look bigger shirt off than on.

Posted by: Malley

I dont like negs to much on compound lifts, but rather iso lifts. Compound lifts are to build strength while iso lifts are used to make things look better (imo), so why not do the negs on those?

If i do negs with 175(1 rep max) then I'll get used to the heavier weight and I'll get a strength increase.

Posted by: Malley

I am not sold on that. I have never saw negs doing anything for my strength.

Posted by: Archangel

I've used Negativess with success in strength gains, but you can only handle that style of training briefly, before overtraining, just my 2 cents my Friend!!!

And I feel like I'm getting bigger, but weaker.

Posted by: Gazhole

Its all perception, you're both probably fucking huge compared to lil old Gazhole.

Posted by: Andalite

how did u sort the issue out with ur father-in-law dude? the fact that ur here and not in jail means u didnt go and shoot the old fart, right?

im also a little behind on ur journal so please update me: are u still cutting and if so, are u doing it while ur doing westside???

Posted by: Malley

Archie Glad you like the negs. I will incorporate them whenever lifting for hyp.

Fatcat I know the feeling. Over last winter I was lifting for size. I completely got weaker but everything got much bigger, very odd! But with me being an athlete I think its best to lift for strength.

Gaz No matter what you'll always be a monster to me!!!

Andalite I am not cutting anymore. I dropped 8lbs in a month and down to 208. I decided to try to maintain and then come summer go at it again, but without cutting calories. I am just so fuckin active during the summer. The father in law and I havent spoken. But rather theres a new situation that has occured. My wife is friends with this girls she used to work with. Well her boyfriend thinks hes tough shit. Telling everyone that I am a metrosexual, yadda yadda yadda. This guy is about 160lbs! And definitly dresses more HOMO-sexual than myself! Fucker wore a button up white shirt with a white wife beater under it, along with a pair of shades to the bar one night! I mean come on, what a tool! So I will take care of him sooner or later. But of couse its all in good time.

NASM Cert
I think I will go ahead and send the money off for it. I got an appointment to get my first aid card in a month, so I figure take that time to study and then after I get the card go ahead and take the test. I am stoked about this!

Posted by: katt

When I see guys walking into a club w/shades on,, that is so,,,,, so,,,,,

I can't even think of the word for it - but I don't like it whatsoever.

Maybe the word is conceited

Posted by: Malley

The best part about this was it wasnt even a club, it was a hillbilly bar!!!!

Posted by: Brutus_G

Archie you do hit so anything extra you add will cause over training this includes walking

.

I would so wear shades to a club ,but then again I'm an attention whore so ...lol. Sounds like alot of guys try an start shit with you D.

1.) great news on the cutting. 8 lbs in 1 month? sweet....

2.) the guy who u spoke about is a dick......yes, deal with him when the time comes.....if u calls u metro its ok....just tell him its still better than being pseudo-homo-wannabe

peace

When I was doing powerlifting, Very heavy Negatives helped out a tremendous amount. That and just overloading the bar. I.E If I squat 400, putting 550 on the bar, walking it out and holding it, return it and then 410 would feel light from the outset.

Anyway, just came to check in on you Double D. How's everything going?

Posted by: Archangel

Brother Brutus, your killin me LOL!!!

Hows it goin BRother D2??? I'm doin "my" version of the 5x5, but you know me, I NEVER follow anything to the T, I have to put my spin on things LOL!!!

Hi guys, to everyone thanks for stopping by. Much apreciated.

He always keeps us in suspense when he's injured.

Posted by: Malley

Took an xray last Friday looked like a tear, but today I have to go to the company doctor. Though I dont trust this jack ass at all, I still gotta go. I am sure I will be doing an MRI in the next few days. The Xray the other day showed a tear in the rotator cuff, but will be able to tell more in the mri. God lets hope not because if its true there will be no softball at all this summer!!!!!!! Guys pray for me.

On a positive note, I sent off my money like 10 minutes ago for my NASM cert. I am very positive about this.

Posted by: katt

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you D

Posted by: fufu

Good luck, man. Hope things work out for you. You seem to be handling it nicely.

Oh no, that sucks dude! I hoep it is somethign that you can bounce back from quickly. It sucks that you put so much work into something to only to get an injury. Id it is a tear, try to stay positive. Maybe you can put more work into your legs while you let your shoulder heal.

Posted by: Brutus_G

Dont you give in D.

Posted by: Bakerboy

Keep us updated. The body is a miraculous beast- sometimes injuries that seem hard to fix if treated properly heal quickly. You're young too and in great shape so you may be back in the saddle in no time flat. Stay optimistic DD.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Keep your head up bud!!!

Posted by: Archangel

Always in my Prayers my Friend!!! Best Wishes on your injury AND your certification!!!

Posted by: JerseyDevil

My boy IS positive! Way to hang in DD. An xray cannot show a tear, the doc was offering his diagnosis. Hopefully he is wrong.

You'll need an ultrasound or MRI to see a tear. Hopefully it's just a minor muscle pull

Posted by: Tom_B

I'll defiantly say a prayer for ya DoubleD.
Best of luck man .... how did this even come about anyways?? Were you getting really bad shoulder pain?

Posted by: Pylon

Hey, come on now little cowboy! If Bartolo Colon can play with a torn rotator cuff, so can you!

Posted by: Malley

Well I went to the company doctor yesterday and he said it was some sort of impingment. While he didnt offer an MRI or nothing of the sort. So I decided to go back and see my doctor. She ordered an MRI to be done this Saturday. Now here comes the draw back:

There is a board of physicians that can only be used whenever an injury occurs at the work place. Well my doctor is not on that board. SO now I am back at square one. I got a call from the HR today and he said hes put into a bind. He says that I need to see a doc off of the board. I said hey if my doc says she thinks I should wait until I get an MRI then go back to work then thats what I am going to do. I figure she is more likely to do things that are best for me rather than some company appointed doctor. Hell I dont know guys right now my hands are tied, and I am lost at what to do?

Posted by: Pylon

See your own doctor, but see theirs as well. Get both opinions, and see if they agree. If yours says tear, theirs says something else, try to get the MRI results sent to the board doc and get your doc to talk to them. They may not do it, but it can't hurt.

Posted by: katt

I really get irritated with the whole "on the list" insurance scams...

Well, not scams,, but why would you be expected to change doctors just because of stupid insurance, when you've gone to your family doctor all your life? It doesn't make any sense to me

Posted by: Malley

Exactly!!!

But looks like I gotta ride this out and see what happens! I think they are trying to fuck me if you ask me! 2-3 months left on this job then I am done, cant wait.

I am looking forward to my NASM things!!!!!

Posted by: Gazhole

If they fuck you over im sure a few of us could fly over and offer a little friendly "persuasion" about our good friend Double D.

Martha! Wheres my golf clubs...

Seriously though, hang in there, man.

Posted by: AKIRA

Either path you take, an MRI can be read by almost anyone. This brings me back to what happened to my back. It took me forever to get an MRI cuz of money and it wasnt really needed in my case other to help calm me down knowing I didnt NEED surgery, but its definetly a peace of mind, diagnosis is accurate, and prepares you for what is needed for getting back in the gym safely.

You might have to pay out of pocket, but some places will actually give you a break.

Posted by: Archangel

Thats a mess, Best wishes to you my Friend!!!

Could it be time to utter the scariest word a company can fathom: LAWSUIT!

Maybe they will stop jerking you around if you do.

Thanks guys.

Got another appointment in the next few days doctor was not able to see me today since hes not there for the day. HR person said that she didnt know if he would be able to see me tommorow or on Friday. Either way I am pretty sure whomever it will be will probably do whats best for the company.

But the thing is if there is something seriously hurt, I do have an excuse from my doctor and there could definitly be a lawsuit if it does happen.

Good to see all of you here. So anything new?

New things - It's we have a freakin blizzard here and I'm so sick of it....

One way or the other, hope they get your shoulder fixed.

Omg DoubleD that whole situation is messed! Some Doctors are so fucking stupid.. I've yet to meet one that I completely trust.

Posted by: Pylon

Hang on. How did you hurt your shoulder? Did you do it at work? I missed that part of the story...

Posted by: Archangel

Insurance, Dr.'s, Work, OH MAN that makes my blood boil!!!

Best wishes to you my Friend!!!

Posted by: Burner02

Yo, D!
You're banged up? How's things?

Posted by: Malley

Hurt the shoulder at work about 2 months ago, however I was mopping at work the other day and really fudged it up. Oh well got another appointment today at 3:40p. Shall see then. Hopefully nothing, but can only hope. It doesnt hurt near as bad as it did, so shall see.

In the meantime should be getting my NASM marterial today!!!!!

Posted by: Tom_B

Good luck with the appointment today.

Whoo-hoo for the NASM stuff!!! Your going to make such a great personal training, have you ever considered doing online training as well?

Posted by: Malley

No to be honest I didnt even know it existed!

Posted by: Malley

Went to the doc and he sent me back to work on restricted lifting weights. I have therapy for 2 weeks and then back to see him. It doesnt hurt near as bad and I am going to try a leg workout tonight. I feel like a fatty right now so bad!

Posted by: Archangel

Glad its feelin better, but still be very careful my Friend, as you've been told I'm sure!!!
Best Wishes on your w/o tonight, and online training is huge, GO FOR IT!!!

Im sure its all in your mind, whenever i take some time off my mental self-image turns into Eric Cartman :P.

Good about the shoulder though - less pain = good!

I am going to be kicking some ass real soon to be honest. Wife has a friend who has a b/f who is a real jackass. If I decide to go out tonight, we shall see. But I think I may get the UFC thing and chill out.

On a bright note, as to what I wrote to Pylon in his journal. I got a buddy whos a personal trainer, who says he can get me a job there asap. I told him I would feel much better getting certified first. I want to learn all I can before I start telling people what to do, u know?

Good to hear the shoulder problem should cease in a couple weeks. It may seem like a while but in the long run it is nothing.

Posted by: Tom_B

Good stuff about the shoulder! Thats my greatest fear .. to get an injury that would prevent me from going to a gym. You going to go easy on delt/pressing work though?

Ya online training is huge ... it would be a bit of work getting your own webpage set up and all that jazz, but once you did you could sit back and just watch the clients come to you .. plus it would be more of an 'extra' type thing, you'd have your real clients, + your internet clinets on the side. And really you'd just be doing what you're doing now here on IM, writting out programs, giving advice based on results etc. Only difference really would be you'd be getting paid for it!
And that's great that you didn't just jump at the job! If anything it shows your friend how serious you are about this job,how great of a PT you're going to be, and how the safety of your clients is extremely important to ya, and your not interested in some 'quick money' .
Did you end up getting your NASM stuff yesterday?

No I havent recieved it yet! I even checked today and nothing. I am starting to get pretty upset here. Its been 6 days since I ordered it.....

Thanks guys for the kind words about the shoulder. I think it will be fine before I know it.

Good thing about that shoulder, very happy for you...

Good stuff, DD.

How did you like the split squats compared to lunges?

Posted by: Gazhole

Dayum...thats a leg killing session if i ever saw one! One of these days and your hamstrings will rebel, pack their bags, and leave home.

Nice work

Here ya go Archie......pretty good stuff here. I am really enjoying it. cant believe the things I didnt already know. However the anatomy gets a bit much!

On another note had a physical therapy thing yesterday. Things are looking very good and I will be back sooner than I thought. They think in a few weeks I will be able to lift again, I will take it easy at first but I am excited.

Thanks for the info Brother D2!!! Hope you have a Great weekend!!!

Posted by: Malley

I really dont know when guys!!! I have no pain anymore in my shoulder, but I am trying to take it easy until I get the ok to go! I know I will have a strength loss, but it comes with the territory! Hopefully in the next week or 2. Can only hope though.

No problem Archie, weekend ought to be good. Going over to a buddies tommorow and will try to hit some softballs, depending on what the practice cuts feel like. Shall see, but before that I am going to do a lower workout, and do some studying on my NASM things.

Posted by: Tom_B

Good idea on not pushing it .. as much as it sucks you should probably let your shoulders rest up for a bit... the injury just isn't worth it.

LOL ya I can only imagine how much of a bitch the anatomy part would be! Having to memorize all those little tiny details .. it'd be so annoying!

You may actually gains strength if you've been over trained.

Posted by: Triple Threat

Did you ever figure out what caused the problem to begin with, or did I just miss it?

Posted by: JerseyDevil

That's good news DD. Like TT said, did they figure out what the problem was? Impingement?

Posted by: Malley

So I have been a bit lazy the past couple of days with my studying, but back to the grind today. I want to complete the whole bones and muscle chapter today and go along to the cardiorespiratory chapter tommorow! I am just making sure I dont bite off more than I can chew! I want to make sure to know it well before I move on.

As for yesterday.....I decided to take some batting practice yesterday. Started off really slow and I was just taking nice slow cuts to knock some line drives out, but then my ego got the best of me! Hit on a 360 field and out of probably 50 balls I hit about 3 balls over that 360 mark! Oh and these are softball. Most of them 44 cor 375's. Then I decided to use my buddies shaved Synergy bat and I hit most of those balls out! That bat is so wicked!

Anyways, I decided to do some speed lifting yesterday so here it is, boring and weak shit!

Jump Squat
135x10-5 sets with 30 seconds rest

Speed Deads
225x5-5 sets with 30 seconds rest

Cable Crunches
100x10-3 sets

Workout time-15 minutes?

But hitting time was like 3 hours! We had a bunch of guys and I ran around in the outfield shagging balls. I really need to work on some running and getting back into ball playing shape! But I sure do get one hell of a jump on the ball!

Posted by: Gazhole

Loving the jump squats! Ive never been brave enough to try them with weights, lol.

Posted by: Malley

Yeah I felt like a pinch in my knee on those so I stopped. I dont know if I really liked them, and I think they needed to be supersetted with split squats!

Posted by: P-funk

how many times have to done jump squats in the past?

More importantly, how much have you just worked on jump landings before loading yourself and doing the jump squats?

Posted by: Malley

I have done them previously in the past, but most of the time with lighter weights. As far as jump landings I am not sure what you mean? I have always been an athlete, and have been very durable. Have always played basketball, baseball, football, heck you name it I have probably played it.

Posted by: Tom_B

Damn Jump Squats with that much weight?? That's crazy .. and dangerous hahaha. I'd be so scared of screwing up my knees or landing the wrong way.
Holy crap you're flying through that NASM stuff aren't ya?? How many sections have ya read so far? Do you know roughly when your going to be taking the test?

And I didn't understand a word with the softball stuff LOL !! So can't really comment on that. (I suck at sports, lol I use to think there was 9 periods in a hockey game bahaha)

Posted by: Malley

TT Just for playing around! It is a huge no no in a real game! We are playin in an outlaw tournament on the 31rst so I will be using it that day! Hell Ultras are legal on that day. And the fence is only like 310 feet!!!! This is way past dumb! Oh and did I mention a no homerun limit!

Archie Yes that is my claim to fame, haha.

Tom Yeah it is a bit much on the weight on those jump squats, maybe I ought to look into lowering that a considerable amount. So far I have been through 3 chapters of the book and a video. Its been about a week. I dont know when I am going to take it, but I am going to take all this time and do the best I can with it!

Doesn't matter if you have done them in the past.

You need to think of your program as progressive. So you move from one techique (practicing landing) to another technique (working on jumping) to another technique (loading the jump).

this goes for anyone. even a profressional athlete. You always want to make it progressive and build upon certain qualities.

Jump Landings:

Jump, stick the landing and hold in the landed position for 3 seconds (make adjustments if needed). Jump again, etc...

Posted by: Malley

Thanks P.......I appreciate the input! Whenever doing jump squats do you kinda keep the same form as regular squats, by that I mean do you still push off your heals? I know personally I do.

Posted by: P-funk

your foot should remain in contact with the floor until you extend all the way when you finish the jump if you are doing sinlge response jumps (one jump at a time....ie a max vertical jump).

If you are doing multiple response jumps (many jumps in succession without a pause between them) then things will be a little different.

Posted by: Malley

I did jumps with no pause. However after hearing what you are saying I think I will try the first of those to make sure I get the jump and landing down!

This is all great news DD. The shoulder problem seems to now be a thing of the past.....

Posted by: KelJu

Hell yeah! I'm glad to hear that you have recovered for the most part.

I think the shoulder is kinda in the past, but I am still a bit cautious of it.

Going to St.Louis tonight and will be there till Sunday. Ought to be a super good time. St.Patty's day parade!!!!!

Posted by: Tom_B

Good to hear about the shoulder!
Good stuff about the ST. Patty day celebration! I know I'm getting HAMMERED tomorrow! LOL might go to a hockey game and then to some party, gonna be a good time!

How's the NASM stuff coming along? You still trucking through it all?

From personal experience, the toughest part for me to come back from after I hurt my shoulder, was my brain.

The story goes: I was playing shortstop for the first time in my life during a practice. Normally I was the starting first baseman, however, that night the SS didn't show up and I said I would take over during practice. I did so and we practiced. Most of the balls were hit to me and for the most part I was doing well (I am not super accurate, from shortstop, but I can throw it). An hour into it, all of my throws started falling short. I didn't think much of it until there was one ground ball that I caught clean and flung it to first and what came out of my hand was a lob. Scared the hell out of me so I asked the manager to stop and to toss the ball with me for a second. No matter how hard I tried to throw it, the ball would be a lob and would not make it to the destination cleanly...and the pain the days that followed when I lifted up my arm....

I ended up having acute tendinitis, which is the step before tearing up my whole shoulder. I was out for about 8 weeks, and the doctor didn't let me throw, lift or do anything but therapy on the shoulder. Came back stronger the next season but as I threw the ball during warmups, the only thing I could think of was the day I almost damaged the shoulder. It took some time before I could trust my arm again. Playing first was a help beause, as you know, first basemen don't throw a whole lot and I didn't have to make critical throws. When I finally had to, I lobbed it to wherever I was throwing. I, however, was able to get it out of my head and play on...

Sorry for the long winded post, but I feel what you are feeling now, but it'll go away before you know it, you just have to make sure you help push it out...

Either way, I'll be pulling for you

Posted by: yellowmoomba

Looks like you are doing some "new stuff". It looks good DD.

Keep it up

Posted by: Malley

Tom You sure did get drunk as well didnt ya!

Archie It was definitly safe for us for the most part. Had a DD all night. Nothing great happened though, kinda boring all in all. The parade was mondo packed and you couldnt even navigate, and the irish pubs were as bad. I like alot of people at a bar, but not to the point you cant get to the bar to even order a drink.

Fantasma I dont know how many times I had been throw out of position, but lucky for me I never hurt myself, good story though.

YM I really enjoy new things, they have been fun. However yesterday wasnt the newest of things, you shall see.

Posted by: Malley

So yesterday morning I got up and went to a Gold's gym off of Manchester in St.Louis where I had to pay a whopping 15 bucks for a days pass!!!! Anyways this place sucks!

$15/day seems to be the going rate for a day pass at Gold's. When I was on travel recently I wound up getting a week for $39. One bad thing about going to Gold's is that it makes me realize what a crappy gym I go to regularly. I've never seen a poorly equipped Gold's.

Posted by: KelJu

Well, sorry to hear about your bad gym experience. But, I am glad to see you throwing up nice numbers.

Posted by: Malley

Thanks for the encouragment guys. I just didnt like how all the weights were spread out! Kinda sucked...

I had another upper workout today, my knees have really been bothering me so there hasnt been a lower work in a while. I got very flat feet so its really been affecting me. I measured my bf today and its about a whopping 17%!!! Most in a very long time!!! So the past few days have really been concentrating on proportions! Not worrying about what so much, but how much if I do eat something not so good. Besides that with the warm weather I have been outside running around constantly. Me and my daughter decided to jump on the trampaline today so we did so for about an hour.

Anyways heres the weak ass workout!!!

Bench
275x3
255x5
265x5

Cable Rows
225x10 (3 sets)

Dips
bw+90x10
bw+115x8
bw+140x5

Pullups
bw+45x8
bw+55x6
bwx12

Stretched for 15 minutes

I have been under the weather a bit with my sinuses, along with I just got dine with some walking and running before I went to the old garage (gym), wasnt suppose to workout until like 8 that night, but I got a call and he was ready so we did and I was so unfocused.

So here this is-
Weight 217.8
BF-17% give or take a bit.

Posted by: Malley

I about forgot, I got about another 2 weeks and my NASM book will be read. I will go back through it and review, especially over the muscles, bones, and exercises (though the exercises are easy). Along with being able to really form a program into their template.

Posted by: Andalite

great stuff dude

btw: im back from my spring break

Posted by: Bakerboy

I hope you get over your sinus cold quick- being sick and training isn't fun. When do you plan to take the NASM exam? It sounds like you are studying hard.

Posted by: Archangel

Great w/o my Friend, hope you feel better soon and your knee is 100% Brother D2!!!

Posted by: Malley

Andalite Where did you go for Spring Break?

BB Yeah the cold kinda has me down! As far as the exam goes, I dont know? I am a bit overwhelmed right now. I am going to try to get the rest read by the end of the week if lucky, maybe by next week, but damn theres just so much info! I saw something on the net about flash cards for the exam and it said it will take all the guessing out of it and give you what you really need to know....I am considering it. Kinda drives me crazy some of the guys I know are certified through ISSA (I believe), and they know very little. They said there wasnt much anatomy on the test at all, and the test was very easy! Shows the standards set by that certain certification!

Archie Thank you! The knee is ok, but with the flat feet and a bit heavier than I need to be its time for a change!

Posted by: Triple Threat

DD, it seems like you are getting all your injuries out of the way all at once.

Here's to an injury-free season.

Posted by: KelJu

Damn, your pull-ups are strong.

Mine have been stagnate for months.

Posted by: Malley

TT Ya I dont get it, the knees like I have said are from simply flat feet! They have gave me trouble in the past, but not as badly as here recently!

KJ My pulling smashes my pushing. My bench is only around 315 or so right now, and I know I can DB row about 140-150 for 10. Maybe a bit of cheating, but I dominate DB rows! To bad I feel like this off season has felt like a waste! I feel like I have trained all wrong! I shouldve trained for explosiveness! Rather than purely strength! Oh well like the Cubs always say, "Theres always next year!".

Posted by: Andalite

i went to LA for spring break....was fantastic...if ur on facebook u can see all my pics and shit....ive hardly slept this break.....it was sooo much fun

Posted by: Malley

Nope no face book for me. I have myspace, but thats just because my wife made it for me.

Posted by: Andalite

oh well then......

get a facebook account

Posted by: Malley

So much time and effort into that. I am to lazy, haha.

Posted by: Tom_B

Those are some nice dips and pull-ups!! Sorry to hear about the knees though

, you certainly don't need fucked up knees.

Good Idea about just getting proportions under control! So long as you get your Protein, Fiber, EFA's in ya and your calories under control .. it's very possible to get RIPPED eating table sugar!

Don't rush yourself with the NASM exam .. if you don't feel comfortable with the material then don't rush yourself. Just take your time!

hahaha I've never been on a trampoline before, I've always wanted to though!

Posted by: Malley

Never on a trampoline? Wow! I think we have always had one! Its a good time. I just end up on my head half the time!

I definitly eat very little sugar! I am not all about getting ripped at this point! I just want to be back to around 200lbs or so like I was over last summer, its easier on me overall. I am not sure I can play 150 games this summer at this weight!

Posted by: Andalite

my goal is to reach 200 lbs this year....just so u know....u know like when ur going about saying getting down to 200 think about us small fry who are dreaming of reaching 200....

lol

j/k bro

best of luck with the weight loss thingy

btw: do u get urges to eat chocolates and stuff? i get them all the time...well not all the time but if i dont eat sweet food atleast once a day ill feel the urge....i usally pop a small hershey's once in 2 days now...perhaps this has something to do with the fact that i can have 3 litres of pepsi in 3 hours and still not be jittery and i can have 4 cans of redbull and go to sleep fine in like 5 minutes after finishing the last one lol....

Heres my first bit of ground breaking news: Me and my wife are having yet another girl!!!! I know I am suppose to want a boy, and I did at first. But after some thinking about it, if this daughter is as good as my other 2 I couldnt ask for me!!!!!

Andalite Dude I crave everything from pizza to chocolate! I 2 can drink cans after cans of energy drinks and feel nothing!

Gaz Whats up dude havent seen ya around much! Yeah dude they can be killer!

BMU No shit?!?! Kinda crazy. Seems like I have been on em for half my life. They kick my ass after about an hour on em.

YM Ok ok so part of it was good, but I had ZERO energy and didnt seem like I really pushed myself.

Tom I actually jumped to close to my oldest daughter and she went up and came down on the top of her head! I felt horrible!!!!!

Alright fellas well I spend the entire day outside again. The knees are feeling better. Its not like I am doing high impact on the trampoline, just flips and shit and land on my ass.

Today:
Trampoline-1 hour
Batting Practice-1 and 1/2 hour.

During BP today I hit some serious piss rods! I was practicing standing and hitting and trying to yank it down the line. We hit in the country so the wind was killing the ball. I was trying the high leg kick to really get my weight back and explode through it! I hit almost every ball with some serious back spin and it cut the wind plenty of times and off a line would hit the fence in the air. The fence is about 310. The balls I really got elevated would either get killed by the wind or cut through it and go over the fence. Normally those were the balls I hit about left center and they carried to right center. I absolutly love tomahawking balls whenever theres a terrible wind.

Well guys I dont know if I will be working out tommorow or not I have alot on my plate right now. Trying to study for the NASM along with having to take my CPR class tommorow and also my daughters are both going to be with me tommorow, so that really makes it hard. Oh well shall see.

Everyone take care.
