Day Off May 8, 2004

BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com
No work out or set diet plan. Ate whatever , whenever and how much I felt like . LOL

Spent most of the day working on the 'vette. Tried my hand at some pinstriping ( came out ok for a first try ) , ripped and i do mean ripped the rocker panels off and stripped the paint off of them. They were a really nice brushed aluminum underneath! Why they painted them black I don't know.
Went and saw the movie Van Helsing. It was pretty good. Kate Beckinsale or whatever her name is looked good in those tight black pants ! Cat Woman is coming soon ! Halle Berry !!!! I just thinking about her in that cat woman suit ! She is HOT !!!!

Anyway, today is leg day !! i will be soooooo sore ! Anybody feel sorry for me ?


Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's !

If I'm going heavy, which i usually do when bulking I try to rest at least 2 min between sets. Different things work for different people, I'm still figuring out what works for me



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...

Hmmmmmm , well I like it . It is only "routine" I've ever done that I have actually seen/felt results. I really like the cable crunches , the hanging knee raises w/weight is going to take some getting use to ( kind of awkward right now )
