I try to be good!

But I had pizza last night. First cheat in 2 weeks though. What happens to my cheats once we hit Feb1 Jodi?

**P-funk** · 01-10-2004, 11:36 AM

you get NO MORE!!!!!!!...............EVER!!

Rocco32 · 01-10-2004, 11:43 AM

I hope your kidding buddy, but I feel like crying right now-your scaring me!!!

**Jodi** · 01-10-2004, 11:45 AM

No Funky is right. No more cheats after Feb 1st. Its a competition, end of story.

Rocco32 · 01-10-2004, 12:06 PM

I can handle that Jodi, but he said no more EVER!

Is that why I take the leptigen jodi?

**Jodi** · 01-10-2004, 07:03 PM

Leptigen is to help keep Leptin levels up while dieting

Rissole · 01-10-2004, 11:20 PM

Nice work Rock, your lats look great

Rocco32 · 01-11-2004, 04:29 AM

Thanks Ris. i actually like the before pics better

Thanks alot for doing that.

**IainDaniel** · 01-11-2004, 08:29 AM

good job rock. Back is looking alot thicker! Nice

Rocco32 · 01-11-2004, 12:57 PM

Thanks Iain! I feel the pics don't look so good, especially the back, but I guess I like looking trimmer. Still feel I look like I have no chest or shoulders.

I agree nice thickness

Rocco32 · 01-11-2004, 02:21 PM

Thanks Jodi. Now I need input from people on my trouble areas and what I need to prioritize a bit.

Rissole · 01-11-2004, 04:35 PM

LEGS!! I know you have probs doing them but we should be able to do something with them, you dont work them hard because of your back??? is that right??

Rock, don't worry about the mid pics... when you lean out now you'll keep that muscle and look alot better when you are lean.
Trust me

Rocco32 · 01-11-2004, 06:43 PM

My legs look that bad Ris? See, good input! I'll see what I can do. Do I need more size or definition? I'm shaving them soon!

Rissole · 01-11-2004, 07:12 PM

Size.... you get the definition when you are lean, and yes you do see alot more definition when you shave too.
They dont look that bad but it was the first thing i noticed, they are definately bigger but gimme more quad and hammies (dives for you m8y)
Calves need some shape, also what trap work are you doing?? They seem to be disappearing under your delts....

**P-funk** · 01-11-2004, 07:21 PM

Great job Rock. Looks like you added some nice size, especially your back

Rocco32 · 01-11-2004, 08:00 PM

Thanks P-funk! I appreciate that. Can't wait to cut though!!

Rocco32 · 01-11-2004, 08:02 PM

I don't know how much size I'll be able to put on Ris, I'll start cutting soon. Calves are a real weak point, I know!! I haven't been working them regularly either.

Traps, now i do 3 sets of db, or BB shrugs 2-3 times a week.

Rissole · 01-11-2004, 09:19 PM

The key to your calves is in your post

Try 4-6 sets on traps once a week

with back or shoulders which ever you prefer.
Although with how you work out now 3 sets twice a week

Rocco32 · 01-11-2004, 09:35 PM

I agree with the calves!

So you think what I'm doing with traps will be good? I'm going to start working my neck some too.

Rissole · 01-12-2004, 04:05 AM

I'm suss on working the neck... but thats only cause i never done it....
I'll watch your workout a bit closer from now on

Rocco32 · 01-12-2004, 07:40 AM

THanks Ris, watch it with that big eye or yours!

(That is totally creeping me out!!!

)

Rocco32 · 01-12-2004, 10:31 AM

Push Day 1A- I switched the Incline BB to reg BB bench since I do Incline DB on 1B. I don't feel it much in my upper chest when I do it with the bar. My time today was 57min, but that doesn't include my warm-up set. I start the clock on my first working set. Here we go-

Bench, 4 sets-
185x8
185x5
175x5
155x8

HS Decline, 3 sets-
160x8
180x8
200x8

Incline Fly, 1 set-
30x8

Leg Press, 3 sets-
320x10
340x10
360x8

Leg Ext, 3 sets-
70x8
80x8
80x7

Overhead DB Press, 3 sets-
55x8
60x8
55x6

Lateral Raise sitting, 3 sets-
20x8
20x7
15x8

Rear Lat Raise, 1 set-
10x8

Skullcrusher, 3 sets-

80x5

Dips, 2 sets (BW)
7
7

Standing calf, 3 sets
120x10
140x9
140x8

Should I be varying the reps on the calves and forearms and abs. High reps one w/o, lower the next or keep it all 8-10?

Rocco32 · 01-12-2004, 10:32 AM

And no Cardio today!!!

It was hard, but I walked on past them!

**IainDaniel** · 01-12-2004, 10:54 AM

Rocco32 · 01-12-2004, 11:07 AM

I think my body is getting more used to this Iain. I'm able to finish now w/out having to yack! What progress

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
