    Question Who knows what the hell I'm doing!

    Hey, new journal!

    Since I can't do TP's w/o any longer I didn't think it made sense to keep posting in that one. I'm just kinda freefalling right now, trying different things. Lisa and I decided to cut for our vacation July 26. Gives us 8 weeks. I'll be working out 2 x a day am and pm Mon-Fri. Heavier am, Light pm. No Cardio for now. We're both Carb cycling also.
    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...

    Today's W/O, Chest and Calves-

    First, another spotting story. Last time the guy took the weight away from me while I was still able to do reps on my own. Today a guy asked me if I wanted a spot. That doesn't happen very often and I did need one so I said "Sure, thanks". I get the weight set up and tell him to just give me a lift-off (to me meaning don't follow me with the weight like so many people do, My miscommunication completely!) So I get the first rep alright. Second rep goes down and takes about 7-8 sec to get back up. Guy never helps and I'm thinking "Hey, a good spotter. Great, I'll do another rep and get a forced rep outta it". So I go down again, get it up halfway and stay for a few secs. No help and the weight starts to go down. I look outta the corner of my eye and my spotter is still there, but turned completely around watching the women working out. So I try to put it up again, make it 1/4 of the way and the weight drops quicker to my chest now. So, swallowing my pride and a little embarrassed I managed to squeak out " A little help please", I had to say it twice before he heard me and turned around. He was very apologetic. And I guess I got a fairly good struggle out of the set!

    BP, 3 sets-
    235x5
    245x4
    250x2 (PB)

    Hammer Incline, 3 sets-

    We are going to Myrtle Beach for TWO WEEKS!! Haven't had a vacation since we were married so I'm really excited!

    The Lasik surgery is on Friday! I can't wait. This time next week I won't need glasses or contacts! I get alot of headaches from them so I hope this stops that!

    Thanks P! I think mentally and physically I'm better suited to do short cut and bulk cycles.

    Nice workouts, Rock!

    I have a friend who lived in Myrtle for about a year. He still says its the most fun place he's ever been. You'll have a great time!
    But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

    That is the Great thing about our body, Muscle Memory, You will regain those lifts in no time and probably exceed them

    My shoulders are killing me today, so I did a bit of rotator cuff work afterwards.

    I just don't have ANY muscle endurance!!! When I try high reps with what would be light weights for me I find I have trouble hitting my goals! I hate that. And if the first set is pretty alright, the 2nd one will SUCK!

    You won't lose what you got, just strength. That's the price of leanness.

    Hey Iain! I'm back now. Had Lasik on Friday. After the surgery and the numbing drops wore off my eyes burned like HELL!!! I wanted to rip them out of my sockets. But I managed to get through the night (ALOT of sleeping pills and I was finally out). Woke up Sat morning and I could SEE! I am sooooo stoked about this. Everyday my vision is getting better and better. At first I couldn't see up close because of the swelling but I can read again and get on the computer now I love this!

    Oh and Iain, Lisa and I are leaving July 24 for vacation! So excited.

    I'll start back at the gym light on Wed. and then June 14 I'll start a powerlifting routine. SF is going to help me design that and I welcome advice from everyone else as well! It's going to be a fun Summer
