    I fucking hate that shit! This time of year, my gym is overrun by 14 year old punks who think their bad-asses. Nothing like watching them cheat 95 lbs on flat bench and then flex in the mirror. Fuckers are taking up valuable space!

    Almost finished buddy! How are you liking it?
    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...

    Hey Rock! Not liking it too much. I've made some good body comp changes, so I'm not complaining. Just getting kinda bored. Looking forward to getting into some powerlifting next.

    I got was offered a job offer which is cool but it's still contingent on my background check. I don't know how deeply they delve at this point and I won't find out if the job is secure for another 7-12 days. I'm going crazy here! LOL

    I was wondering why you were online. Why do you have to work today?
    My shoulder hurts like a mofo, but I just keep popping Vicodin

    My home puter is up and operational now! I need to install my camera software, then I will post a pic or two.

    Had to swap shifts with someone so I could get last Tues off for Dave Matthews. Sucks now, but Tues was fun.

    I need to get my home comp online. Been procrastinating for months.

    Did last workout of TPPT Phase III, Week IV today! I completely slacked on posting workouts this entire week. I'll post measurements and before/after pics Monday.

    Saw some body comp changes with this workout. I learned a lot about my body (as far as overtraining goes) and am glad about that. I saw the most significant gains during the first 2 weeks of each phase (as TP anticipated), but I found that I'd lose a lot as overtraining set in. Measurements will be the true test of how much progress I made. I dont think I'll do this workout again, simply because I lost a considerable amount of strength on it. This program is primarily for hypertrophy, but I'm always interested in having strength to back up gains in size.

    New journal coming soon. Focus will probably be on strength.

    Congratulations on finishing. Those last couple of workouts were grueling, no?

    As for the strength thing, I also lost some, but not as much as I had thought. A few weeks of strength-oriented workouts, and you'll probably be back close to what you were before TP-PT. Take it relatively easy the first week back and don't try to get it back all at once and you'll be OK.

    Thanks Capt! Definitely tough during the last week! Overall, I am happy with my gains, but I wouldnt say they were extraordinary. Should have measurements and pics tomorrow.

    Gains are good

    Any comparisons to previous results?

    After rereading my posts, I noticed that it sounds as though I was dissappointed with this workout. Actually, I really liked it and am just ready to try something different. I made considerable gains in my legs with this workout. Moreso than with any other workout to date! I think one of the things I learned about my body is that my legs respond better to frequent workouts and more volume. Must be predominantly red fiber in my legs...while my upper body definitely responds to lower vol/heavy weight/less frequency. I always knew I was more white fiber in my upper body and just assumed the same would apply to my legs.
