Now that I have gone back to school and work is no longer rotating I have a set schedual I have decided to get back in here!

I'll be adding straight MASS!!! Dont really care about my waist line to be honest with ya! I have been dieting and maintaining for so long I'm sick of it and I want to get back to where I use to be...Mr. My shoulders touch my ears and I have no neck, Mr. I have to put my belt on before I put my pants on, Mr. ahh well you get the point. This was my first week of the new routine and I enjoyed it!

The only thing I wont be doing is maxing out on deads next week...I just wanted to see where I stood from conventional deads since I haven't done them in almost a year. I normall do rack deads.

My goal is to gain mass but also build my hamstrings and delts/traps to catch up to the rest of my body. My hamstrings are really weak and need to get strong so my deadlifts can go up smoother.

Other then that this is this months routine!

Archangel · 09-05-2009, 10:43 AM

Bolt, Great lookin workouts, hows the shoulder???

DeadBolt · 09-05-2009, 09:39 PM

Thanks buddy...its holding up but it still lets me know its not 100% every few days! I haven't done alot of these movements in years like dips and upright rows so I have decieded to try and add some of the old movements in and see if I can strengthen the shoulder up a bit.

Burner02 · 09-05-2009, 09:56 PM

Look like you're still pretty strong, brotha!

It is what it is.
You should come over and find out. pay off that truck, any debts you have built up and stash away some $$.
Forgive my memory...do you still have the GF or are you single? If you're single...effin A...get over here and change your stars, bud. Life is good when you are out of the hole and on top of things...everyday is a beautiful day...

Seriously....if you want out of that place...get out. This is a jump off way for a lot of people. Spend a year...2-3 if you're single amass some wealth and pick where and what you want to do. You want t ogo back to school? Save up what a degree whill cost you...school, housing, spending...stash it...go back and get that degree. You want toys? Save up for those and buy n cash.
I actually like the college idea...will have to thinkify about that one myself...
i hated that RUT I was in. Wake up in debt, go to work in debt...go home in debt and repeat. barely tapping away at the debt, watching my life go by. Im almost friggin' 39. I decided to do something about it. You are way younger.
If you have the GF and want to make a go of it together....there are places where both of you can work and make good money.
Something to think about.
Do you want to say: Same shit...different year? You can change your life inside a year here. Think about it.

Had you told me about this last year I probably would have no joke but in the last year I have "settled down" and started to get established. Im going back to school as we speak to get my exercise science degree and thats about it! I have a few years and now that i have started I'm not stopping again LOL.

nice, full workout. How are the legs treating you today?

No worries on coming over here. Its not for everybody.

Burner02 · 09-07-2009, 11:42 PM

hmm...I think you may have inspired me...I've always regretted not finishing my bachelors. I may save up enough to live off...as well as I'm able to use unemployment after this....and go back to school.
maybe business management w/ a journalism minor? That may be good...

DeadBolt · 09-08-2009, 05:02 PM

Legs are feeling it but I'm beat up from all this chainsawing!

I cut down an 80 foot oak and had to cut 2" rounds out of the entire thing! OOOOOOFFFFAAAA!!

I borrowed a buddied 32" chainsaw...yea its a fuckin man eater! Took me 5 hours this afternoon but i got it all down now my back is shot and I've lost the hearing out of my left ear. Man I pray it comes back!

Now i'll wash up and hit the gym! I know I'm sick!

DeadBolt · 09-09-2009, 11:07 AM

Well yesterdays workout sucked...first bad workout in a long time. I was dead tired from cuttin that damn tree thrn 5 min before I left everyone decided to piss me off and I was just off my game. I wanted to go heavy but my body was saying no and my mind was fighting the both of us!

Ill post it later bc its my first day back in school and I'm waiting for class to start. Not sure if I can workout between my two classes today ill try to fit it in between shifts this week but from now on I'll get up early and get it done.

So far so good found where I needed to go lol but I feel out of it been 5 years since I've been in school I have to adjust lol.

UPDATE: still can't hear out of my left ear if its not back soon I will go to the doctor and from what I read if it doesn't come back its gone forever. I hope I'm not 90% deaf in my left ear forever!

Archangel · 09-09-2009, 05:43 PM

No, it didn't suck, you basically did 2 workouts back to back, and did not let your body recover, thats more than ALOT of people do in a week!!!
