Rocks TP-PT Journal: The Recomp

Rocco32 · 04-19-2004, 05:59 PM

It might be too much down the line but right now I'm doing alright with it. The neck machine is awesome. And yeah, I'm being careful (as careful as I can). I'm only doing one set per side right now, slowly upping it.

PreMier · 04-19-2004, 06:14 PM

Heh, when I first got into football in HS the seniors would tell us to get on the neck machine. Then they would make us go hardcore. They said it would make our necks HUGE like theirs... needless to say, for the next 2 weeks every sophmore that played ball, couldnt turn their head at ALL. It was such a PITA, but I so did love that machine.

shit bro, its funny you mention that.

i remember in H.S., me and my boys were fuckin around in the weight room (this is as like a freshman or soph), before practice one day, and i remember just going to town on that neck machine.

i literally couldnt move my head for like a week haha.

**IainDaniel** · 04-19-2004, 07:55 PM

So Rock are you bulking?

Rocco32 · 04-19-2004, 08:02 PM

Yeah, I decided I wanted to compete next year at at least 195 if not 200. So I'll give my body every chance to put on muscle as possible

. Still going to do cardio though (Long as my body can handle it and this program.) You bulking with me?

**IainDaniel** · 04-19-2004, 08:14 PM

That is what I am leaning to, like I said before, I am seriously craving adding some muscle. I think I have a disorder, I know I am far from being big, but all I see is scrawny and fat.

Rocco32 · 04-19-2004, 08:16 PM

I'm the same way buddy. I always feel super small in my arms and upperbody and fat in around my stomach. It's a complex we have LOL. We're worse than girls

PreMier · 04-19-2004, 08:16 PM

**IainDaniel** · 04-19-2004, 08:18 PM

shit Prem you have no worries, your f'n huge compared to me

Rock you doing M1T

Rocco32 · 04-19-2004, 08:24 PM

Yeah, he's huge compared to me too.

I just started M1t and 4AD on Saturday. I'm also going to take a mass gainer (1,250 cals per serving). I'm excited to see the results of all of that. The M1T I'll take till the end of phase one.

**IainDaniel** · 04-19-2004, 08:32 PM

Nice Can't wait to see you results

Rocco32 · 04-19-2004, 08:34 PM

Same to you buddy. I just know I have to put my washboard stomach off a bit longer

But it's good to because I know I really have to develop my ab muscles more anyway.

PreMier · 04-19-2004, 08:44 PM

Im not HUGE! Your bigger than I rock, and your measurements PROVE it.

Your not the only one. Everytime I say to myself I need to get bigger, but then Im like well actully I still have some body fat that I need to get rid of. Dunnnno.

Rocco32 · 04-20-2004, 07:36 AM

Alright, did w/o today. It seemed that the beginning lifts (Legs, chest) affected later exercises. Reps and weight had to go down today some, it was a surprise. Is this mental or should I expect this to happen? Finished in about 40min.

Squat, 3 sets-
165x9
175x9
185x7

Leg Ext, 3 sets-
180x9
195x7
195x6

Incline BB, 3 sets-
185x6
165x8
165x5

Peck Deck, 3 sets-
165x9
180x6
165x6

Military DB Press, 3 sets-
60x5 ( I did 8 last time)
50x8
50x6

CG Bench, 3 sets-
115x9
125x7
125x6

Rope Pushdown, 3 sets-
90x8
80x8
70x8

This made me a little wary of the coming weeks

**IainDaniel** · 04-20-2004, 07:56 AM

I was expecting that to happen

and will be when I start

Rocco32 · 04-20-2004, 08:10 AM

It comes quick though Iain. Last week was fine, strong lifts (for me) Then today it like plummeted.

**IainDaniel** · 04-20-2004, 09:39 AM

What are your RI's

That was why I change from Push/Pull to Push/Pull/ Legs. Doing Legs especially squats hindered my other lifts.

Can't wait to start

Rocco32 · 04-20-2004, 09:56 AM

RI's today was usually less than a minute. Trying to get ready for the upcoming w/o's you know

Triple Threat · 04-20-2004, 10:21 AM

With RI's that short, it's no wonder some of the later exercises suffered.

what's m1t?
I stacked 1-test & 4-ad....WHEW! after coming back for that last lay off...last fall...my bench went back from 245 - 315 for three good reps.
I was back to squatting 315 as well..and other lifts got bigger too!
Lemme know how that works out!

Yes, although I wouldn't want to rest for less than a minute between sets during weeks 3 and 4. FYI, towards the end of phase 1, my workouts were on the order of 80-90 minutes.

Rocco32 · 04-20-2004, 01:06 PM

I don't see how you can fit that in w/out rest being under a min.

	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...
