the crossbar was a heart-stopper for sure, and also when, Lidstrom maybe, not too sure.. shot it from the point and it hit Helm as he went behind Fleury, I think that would have gone in if it wouldn't have hit him. |

any reason for this madness? trying to drop a few, or get your conditioning up or something?

My waist at the largest part (by my belly button) measures 34". The smallest section is just above my hips (a little over 33") so I "COULD" drop one more inch but I don't want to sacrifice more muscle loss for one more inch on my waist. Looks like I need some new goals. New Goals by September 30, 2009: 10 Muscle Ups Push Press BW five times Squat 225 x 30 (previous PB 26) Keep 34' waist (or below) Weight does not matter This will give me around 90 days. I'll try to take some current pics to see the progress in the mirror as well. |

I'd actually love to get down to 200 and keep my strength gains coming, but I don't know if that's really doable, and I would rather keep pushing the weights up at this point then to drop 15 lbs and have my lifts stall.... what i need to do is keep eating like a pig, but throw in some cardio to at least get some heart health. problem is, I like to squat and deadlift with a high frequency, so my legs are bordering on being shot all the time as it is, and every good cardio exercise utilizes the legs. You got any ideas for good cardio that doesn't tax the legs? |

Was looking at your split..am thinking I may take after it a bit. You have some wild workouts, so could ya help a brotha out with some ideas? My workout days are: sun, mon, tues, thurs and fri. I take wed and sats off with my days off. The odd days throw off my schedule, so am wondernig if the upper/lower split will work? How many exercises per BP do you do? I was thinking one upper: bench and rows One lower: Squats and SLDL 2nd upper: Delts and Pull Ups 2nd lower: Front squats or lunges and deads. Or...do you do all upper (chest, delts and back) one day? Don't want to make it too complicated. Get in hit it, get out. |
LOL I'm sure it will have some slight mods but the basics will remain the same.
the surgery doesn't seem to have slowed you down. |
