***weights felt pretty good today. Had that wonderful OH MY GAWD...MY PECS ARE GOING TO EXPLODE!!! feeling midway through my incline presses. So, that was good. I hadn't gone that heavy for reps in a whle. Felt good to heft that again. In two weeks, I will go for 100lbs'ers. I was careful to make sure I got full range of motion. A buddy of mine informed me lately that I had been 'cheating' my reps...not going down a sfar as can / should. Bad mike. Jumped in with a guy close to my strength for flat benching so had a spotter. Weight felt good. Last couple reps on last set, felt sloppy. I was concentrating on my form as Mudge suggested for where bar should be in the arc. That last rep, I think I was 'out of shape' and my shoulders kicked in a bit too much. I dropped decline bench, as I felt my pecs were pretty fried.
After the second set of cable flyes, I dropped weight, I think I wasn't using good enough form (too much delts) so dropped 10 lbs and concentrated on stretching the pecs. Ran out of time, couldn't do any cardio.
(Actually was looking foward to jumping on the elliptical...a buddy burned a techno cd for me "guranteeing" to kill me....maybe I'm part sadist??)

"Becareful with the old injuries......or I'll just have to end up being your own private body oiler/rubber!!!!!"
***with an ofer like that, I might just inspire for another injury....snow boarding season is around the corner...I'm prety certain, I'm gonna get a little bit dinged up....

Dear journal....
Today's work out, well...sucked. I guess a bad work out is better than no workout?

I got off to a good start. Iwoke p feeling good, made my eggs and cleaned up my place a bit and called my friend to see if he wanted to hit the gym w/ me. No answer, so waited my hour for digestion and jumped on the motorcycle. I rode down the the Starbuck's for my double esspresso to help jazz me up and went on to the gym. I decided to do regular dead lifts this week instead of the usual stiffies I normnaly do to break thigns up. I dind't use the normal bar, but the bar that you can stand in between so the bar doesn't scrape shins to bloody pulps.

/\

is basically what the bar looks like to get a picture of it.
It dind't work so well, really didn't feel much either in my hams or lower back....
My second exercise was pull-ups. Those didn't go over so well either. I was paying more attention to make sure I was going full range of motion....and slowed down. My reps sufered and I felt weaker? After five sets I had only done a total of 43 reps. (I usually am able to do fifty in that many sets) I did one more set and got a total of 51. Not very happy about that.
I was only able to do two sets of one arm rows, time was running out and was feeling weak. (no, not over training. Just couldn't get 'into it')

***out of time. Woke up too late, almost didn't go, but figured, shitty little work out wsa better than no workout at all.

Saw something that made me feeligsignificant....
the guy next to me was doing staning military presses. He was pressing 315 lbs for at least 6 reps! That is more than I was squatting today. I had to stop and watch him for a second in awe. I can barely bench 315..and he is doing that for his delts! Truely impressive!
It also helps that he is a good 6'5" - 6'7" and 250lbs +....but that's stilla lot of weight!!!

**time

***might sound kind of twisted, but I found a way to channel negative energy into positive: I've an ex g/f. She and I rean't on speaking terms. i've found out some really bad things about her, then she had the neve to talk shiat about me to mutual friends. Well, during that last couple sets on my flat bench, the thought of her popped into my head, and it really fuq'ing raged me. well, I focused that rage into the bar and pushed out two reps more than what I had done previously. Now, give it, say 6 months...when I am bigger and leaner....if I run into the tramp, I can thak her for the proper motivation to help achieve the results!

**oh, before all that psycho bable, I was also happy that I got up 100 lb'ers in such a long time! When I can put them up for reps in the 7 - 8 rep range, I will go on for the 110'ers!

Hi tweet tweet!

Heya Burner!!
Your meals are looking good!
Thats neat about your friend Jennifer!
Ya know, sometimes I do that too, think of someone who has ticked me off or whatever (... my boss) and my energy just sores after that!

Glad to see your back in the gym!

Looking good Burner! See you don't need a cook

oh, but I DO need a cook! However, with you being over 1000miles away, it would be most difficult for the cummute on a daily basis, so you, my dear are off the hook...for now. However, when I win the powerball and I buy my own personal jet, I'll have to shuttle you back-n-forth!

Hey P!
Yep, very much glad that she is back in town...maybe I get her to cook for me....work things off in trade...


Hiya Lina!
So..you're actually back from your glob trotting, or just checking in from one of your many ports of call???


No work out today. Day off. I wanted to go and do cardio..first because I am in desparate need of it....second, to stretch out my poor, sore legs! I got home on time; 0600 hours and went to bed. I was awakened by what I thought was my alarm clocks. Come to find out, it was a dump truck with the warning back up alarm on. (It was out side my bedroom. They are putting new roofs on my town home community) So, after realizing I had turned off all my alarms and that damned sound was still going on, my brain finally spu up to speed and I realized what the sound was. I went to the bathroom adn looked at the clock. It was only 10am. Great. Now I had problems getting back to sleep, 'cause they were doing the roof on the next home over. Now, if things are going on AFTER I've fallen alseep, I'm good to go. However, I was motivated towards unconciousness. The bad thing: with my turning off my alarm (yes, multiple, I do not like to wake up..) I didn't wake up until almost 4pm. So, I just got up, ate, got showered and went to the mall to get my new pants for my new bouncer job for tomorrow night.
So, come Monday night...I might have an adventure to tell about....

Tomorrow is chest day again....get all pumped up and put on a black shirt and go work at the club....things could be good!

Errrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm...Burner...Honey....where are the last lot of entries for this diary?!!!! I dont know....a poor girl goes underground for a while...comes back and finds the boys slackin' off....what do I have to do to get you back in the mood?!!!!!
