ID's TP-PT Log

**tucker01** · 04-27-2004, 09:39 AM

Well, It’s time! I will be starting my TP-PT Log this week, finally.

After a week off, and some time to recover from the EC withdrawal, I am raring and ready to go with this program. I have been following along with most of the Journals and have a good feeling about progress on this plan. I will be coming into this plan with full energy and no injuries.

Current Stats

Height......................6’1”
Weight.....................220lb
Quads..................... L 26.125.. R 26.25
Calves..................... L 16.........R 16.25
Forearms................. L 13.25....R 13.5
Arms........................ L 16.125.. R 16.25
Shoulders ................53
Chest.......................45.5
Waist.......................38.25
Skinfold Chest.........14mm
Skinfold Thigh..........16mm
Skinfold Abs.............22mm

Because I am not quite as lean as I would like to be I will hold back on any ventures of doing a Bulk and will opt for a Recomp. a la Carb Cycling. I will probably include some minimal cardio as well. 1-2 times per week.

Time to get the ball rollin'

**Jodi** · 04-27-2004, 09:58 AM

**tucker01** · 04-27-2004, 09:59 AM

Thanks everyone!

Glad to see you finally starting. Look forward to reading this.

Good luck, Iain!

**tucker01** · 04-29-2004, 09:57 AM

I haven't been ignoring my journal, just some personal things cam up the last couple of days. My little guy has been in the Hospital since Tuesday, Blood in his Stool.

Anyway they ran a test for Meckels, but it came back negative, Now they are going to be looking into My wife diet (ie Dairy) because she is breast feeding. I'll keep you posted.

Iain

**CourtQueen** · 04-29-2004, 11:18 AM

Iain, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope it is nothing and your little guy is just fine. Please let us know.

**Rocco32** · 04-29-2004, 11:26 AM

Sorry Iain! Yeah, keep us updated, he'll be in my prayers!

**Jodi** · 04-29-2004, 11:34 AM

Sorry to hear that Iain. I'm sure he will be just fine.

**tucker01** · 05-01-2004, 07:44 PM

Thanks everyone for your concern. My Wife and Son are home now, as of last night

As it stands my wife has to change her diet to not include any Milk Products. We also had to buy some special formula (for when we use it on occasions) it was freakin' expensive. I don't know how people can afford to formula feed children. This cannister was $20 and would last 1.25 days assuming we used at every meal

Anyway Kyle is in good spirits as usual and glad to have everything back to normal for now

Squats will be my nemisis, I suck at them, and don't usually do them. But I gotta keep at them.

Other than that

BTW I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it may be the light

**P-funk** · 05-02-2004, 03:49 PM

why do you suck at squats??? 225 for 6 is not bad at all. I think maybe there maybe something in your form that can be tweaked which would help you squat heavier weight (technique is important). it is hard to say with out seeing you squat though.

**tucker01** · 05-02-2004, 03:52 PM

I would love to come to New York and do a few sessions with you Patrick.

I think the Key Problem with my squats is my Core Strength, My lower back sucks. There is no way I should be doing leg ext. heavier than squats, it is rediculous.

Maybe I will see if I can do a little Video

BTW that is to Parallel. I can't do ass to the grass at 225, working on it though.

I am not a fan of the leg extension (puts to much pressure on the knee). If you see me do it I am always using really light weight and going for high reps. I like thinkgs like lunges, step ups, split squats instaed of leg extensions. Not only do the engage more muscles but they will help to increase core stabalization which will lead to a greater squat.

**CourtQueen** · 05-02-2004, 06:02 PM

Hi Iain -
I'm so glad to hear your son is doing better. I'm not going to be doing leg extensions any more. I've been doing it with TPPT and now I know why I don't. My knees are hating me right now, so no more extensions.

Squats will definitely come along just keep doing them.

**Rocco32** · 05-02-2004, 06:44 PM

Glad to hear about your son Iain! Great looking workout. And your squats don't suck, I can barely bread 200

**tucker01** · 05-02-2004, 07:12 PM

Thanks Rock and CQ

Thanks Patrick.

Right now I will stick with these as it is apart of TP's little experiment. I have never had any trouble with Leg extensions, and actually really enjoy them. As you have seen in my previous journals Squats are a bitch for me. 135 is a peice of cake for me

ass to the grass. 185 I really start to notice my core weaknesses, well and 225 was a challenge, but was only to parallel. I'll keep working at it, and take your reccomendations to my next program after this.

BTW how is the Contest Prep going?

Iain

**Jodi** · 05-02-2004, 08:31 PM

I'm happy to hear all is well with your son.

On the squats, I would cut it down to 185 and concentrate on form and staying slightly below parallel. JMHO

**tucker01** · 05-03-2004, 06:35 AM

Thanks Jodi,

I was thinking the Same thing. You just get that mentality to go big all the time

**yellowmoomba** · 05-03-2004, 07:03 AM

Keep working on those squats.

That doesn't look like a lot of cals........How many did you get for the day??

Just curious

**tucker01** · 05-03-2004, 07:49 PM

Oh it is low, prolly around 1600!!

But tomorrow will be around 3400, so it all works out

**yellowmoomba** · 05-03-2004, 07:51 PM

I'd go crazy with 1600!! Glad to see you'll make up for it tomorrow

**tucker01** · 05-03-2004, 07:54 PM

Yeah it is pretty tough still! Literally gives me a headache

If are teams keep playing the way they are, there will be no chance of them meeting in the Stanley cup. They better smarten up. Stevie Y is gone for the rest of the playoffs by the sounds of things

SY is out - he had a 4 hour surgery but he should regain full vision. It's game time!!
