But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

I talked to her yesterday. She's just really busy with work and stuff. No worries.

Ok, so that ends my week one phase 2. I'm going to do a couple of double days so I can get back on track. I have a volleyball tourney on Saturday and depending on format I most likely won't get to the gym that day.

So far I'm very happy with the progress. I would have had more would I have been more faithful to keeping it clean but trying to change that. I'm not sure what to do with the carbcycling on this phase 2. I think the ratio days are supposed to be the same as phase 1 but need to check. Need to plan my days.....

So... I think it will go something like this. I'll have to study this a bit. Memorial weekend is going to be hard since I will be leaving town.
Friday High
Saturday Low
Sun Low
Mon Low
Tues No Off day
Wed High
Thurs (leave for the weekend, this is going to be tough) Low
Friday No
Sat High
Sun Low
Mon Now
Tues Low

PreMier, I could never be mad at you. You are too cute. Var however!!!
Yes Nove, I love begesus too! I wonder where that came from.
Ok, until tomorrow.

Phase 2 Week 2 Day 1

Ok, technically I should be on Week 3 but I have had a crazy couple of weeks so this will just have to do. Feels better anyways because I hate working out both days on the weekends, one day is ok but not both Sat and Sun.

Saturday was a tournament. One of my calves cramped up on about my 6th game so I basically was avoiding cramping with much water and being very careful the rest of the day. Worked but my calves are still burned out today. My own fault I'm sure. Probably not enough water the day before and poor food choices and not eating enough between games. Needless to say, I'm skipping calves this week

Chest/Calves (+ = 10sec wait)
3 Incline DB Bench: 40sx8 x6 35s x6+2
3 BB Bench: 90x6 85x6x6+2
3 Low CrossOver: 30x6 20x10x9+ 4
3 Standing Calf Raises: skipped
3 Seated Cal Raises: skipped

Felt very weak today. Still recovering from the tourney. Right Shoulder and arm still sore from hitting so everything just felt weak.

I've decided I need to get HIIT in. Makes a difference in my game. Got 4th Mental breakdown....... A few guys at the vb party decided that my arms were definitely bigger than theirs. Told them they should try going to a gym

Doms killed me after legs. That was definitely the worst doms I've had on this program so far. Some doms on the other days for the 1st week of this phase. It will be interesting to see if I get any during this week.

Low day today and so far on track. (Except for that second coffee, oops)

Guess how I got the bruise??

3 Deadlifts: 115 9x8x6 +2 (still need to work on my form here obviously ^)
3 1 Arm DB Row: R/L 40 x9/8 x9/6 35 9 +4/ 7+3


Shoulders/Traps after work

I have a feeling the Doms are coming on. Right is definitely starting to feel it.

Been having problems getting in all my meals. Poor planning more then anything I'm sure.

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Yikes, CQ I didn't realise you were so pretty! (nope, I'm not making a knee bruise, nor a callous, joke ... I just saw your piccie). Boards are funny, talking to people that in general you can't picture.

Happy hols my dear, enjoy!

And, may I? Just because I like the word, BEGESUS boys ... look where the bruise is, how on earth could you assume what you did?? Wishful thinking hey ...

PhaseII Week3

After reading others journals I see that I did yesterdays workout wrong. I will correct it today.

Chest/Calves Yesterday 6/2
3 Incline DB Bench: 45s x6x6 27.5x10
3 BB Bench: 90x6 85x7 65x10
3 Low CrossOver: 20x9 30x6 20x9
3 Standing Calf Raises: 180 x9x9 135 x8
3 Seated Cal Raises: 135x9x8 90x10

I figured I was doing something wrong here because it was way too easy and it just didn't seem like something that followed the program. So, I will correct it today with the dropsets being part of each set, not an individual set of its own.

Glad to be back on track and in the routine. Needless to say it was extremely difficult eating anything healthy while I was out of town. My relatives are all sugar freaks and the restaurants in this small town don't believe in healthy things...... So, while I'll do my measurements they will be completely off. But I'm going to correct that this week.

Ok, so a quick schedule review:
Today Back & Low
Friday Shoulders/Traps and High
Saturday Quads/Hams and Upper Arms and Low
Sunday and No

I've been enjoying feeling my shoulders lately.... definent progress going on there.

Ok, I look forward to my gym trip today. Oh, and I've met a few people in the gym lately, that means I'm there way too much......

Novo

I love you. Because I made the same mistake, and now I don't feel so silly. At least you realised, I had to have it pointed out ...
