    Var's TP-PT Journal

    This is my first journal, so go easy on me. I'm doing TP-PT and looking forward to seeing what kind of results I can get. I had a rough month and lost about 10lbs due to stress/lack of appetite. I'm carrying more bf than I'd like, but not too bad, so I'm undecided on whether to bulk or cut (I'll probably bulk). I'll be posting pics soon, so any feedback is welcomed. I'm 5'6, 152lbs , and 27 yrs old tomorrow.

    Hey Var, great your doing this! Good luck, I look forward to seeing how you do and like it buddy!
    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...

    Thanks Premier and Nike! I appreciate the b-day wishes. I'm like a little kid when it comes to my b-day. I've spent the day here at work finding creative ways to tell people what today is. Such as..."hey, can I slack off today because its my b-day"?...and..."Wow! You look nice today. Did you wear that for my b-day"? Good when you can entertain yourself.

    Nike, we will definitely commiserate after our 4 weeks of torture. Hopefully, our "after" pics will make it all worthwhile.

    Started today!!! Havent been this psyched for a workout in quite some time. Took measurements this morning before heading to the gym. Kinda sad, but better than where I started.

    Quads: L: 18 3/8, R: 19 1/4
    Calves: L: 13 3/8, R: 13 1/8
    Forearms: L: 11 3/8, R: 11 1/2
    Arms: L: 14 1/2, R: 14 3/8
    Waist (at navel): 33
    Chest: 41 1/2
    Weight: 154
    Age: 27

    Loved the workout today!!! Definitely felt I could do more, but we'll see what happens as things progress! If I get nothing from this program except learning about Hammer Cable Curls, it will all have been worth while. I LOVE this exercise!!!

    Here's todays workout minus warmups...

    Wide-Grip Pull-downs (to chest): 6x150/7x140
    Barbell Row (underhand grip): 8x155/6x175
    Standing Leg Curls: 9x65/7x70
    Barbell Curls (straight bar): 7x75/6x75
    Hammer Cable Curls: 8x50/6x60
    Donkey Calf Raises: 10x160/9x200 (whole stack,need to find way to load more weight)
    Barbell Shrug: 6x225/6x225

    This was a lot of fun! Nice to have a change!

    Workout time: 50 mins

    I've decided to bulk (at least for now) so any feedback on diet is appreciated. Thanks!

    That's the typical reaction of people trying this exercise the first time. Then you start to wonder "Why didn't I think of that?". Good start, Var.

    Thanks Rock and Nike! I was just happy to get through it. Not sure if the workout was hard because I was sick, or because it was just HARD.

    LOL. Hard to get through a workout when you're in the bathroom between every set. Thought things were gonna get REALLY ugly when I was squatting 245lbs.
