I'm going to the U/M vs Penn State game Saturday with my wife and a bunch of college friends. We are "kid-less" for the weekend (my sister is watching our kids). Who does OSU have? MSU plays Iowa at night so that should be some good post tailgating entertainment. |

Between "MASS MONSTER", CFFB, CLUSTERS and the other conversations on here I'm debating my new plan...................... It was good timing to take some time off from the gym....I took my boat out of the water and cleaned it up for winter storage. I'll shrink wrap it this weekend. |

10/30/09.....my workouts have been average - for me. Just having some odd aches and pains which is weird since I took 6 days off about a week ago............................Normally I only take about 3 days off in a row if I decide to take some time off - which is rare.

Goals: Add Size for Chest and Traps Plan: Take some measurements and pics this weekend; Come up with a new plan to start on Monday. Ideas and comments are welcome Some new exercises I plan on using for my chest are Lock out Presses and standing Cable presses along with the standard DB Bench, CG Press, Dips and Pushups Trap exercises will be Deads, Shrugs, Snatch, Upright Row, Hang Cleans, Reverse Fly. I like to have a least one day off from exercise and one day for basketball. So that leaves me with the potential to workout 5 days (although I like to do 4) |

hows this for trap: clean grip high pulls...those will nail your traps, screw the upright rows and do those instead. |

I remember those old pics you used to have in your gallery, you seemed a lot bigger in those pics, but of course that was pre-kids so I know priorities change....I like that tat you have on your shoulder too, I always wanted some kind of sun-type tattoo like that, but never got it, and now that I have my kids' names, I think I'm likely past my prime on the whole tattoo thing now, heh.|

Do you have super strong tendons or something like that? |

I got my last tattoo (the sun) at 34 so I don't think you are too old. I'm not sure about super strong tendons. I think it's consistent hard work You have the same work ethic. If you did some cardio I'm sure you rip up pretty good. |

Eh, we love em anyway right?
I would post up some pics, but I really hate posing considering I am a strength guy and in theory could care less what I look like. when you're not a so called bodybuilder and you try to do bodybuilder poses, it often comes out funny looking (not saying you're funny looking, ha). I just like to look for some good tank top shots that can show off mass, without having to hit the double bicep pose, cause really, we don't train our biceps for that reason, so of course it's gonna be lacking. |
Thanks......I think......LOL I hear ya on the sleep. The last time I got a full nights sleep was a couple years ago.
