Twin Peak's Gettin' It On

Twin Peak · 06-04-2004, 08:01 AM

Well, I was a bit wiped this morning, with a slight headache. And, none of my workout partners showed. As a result, I trudged through bis and actually had a very good workout, and then did a lame few sets for tris. I'll hit tris again on Monday after chest, as a result.

Barbell Curls

155 x 7 --drop set with 35 DBs--> 5
155 x 5 --drop set with 35 DBs--> 6
135 x 8

Seated DB Curls

55 x 8 --drop set with 30 DBs--> 5
55 x 5 --drop set with 30 DBs--> 6

Plate-load Preacher Machine

115 x 6
115 x 5

One arm Cable Hammer Curls

70 x 8 --drop set--> 40 x 8
60 x 10 --drop set--> 40 x 1070 x 8 --drop set--> 40 x 8

Diet was tight all day yesterday, it was a low carb day. Except I overate at dinner last night.

Today is a High Carb day, and well, on the weekend, all bets are off.

P.S. I love this new posting format which functions like word.

Wow, those are some serious BB curls.

What do you mean like word? MS word? Does it keep the font while pasting or what?

All the format tools and buttons you can use in MS word are available under the reply function now. The shortcuts, too. You can just hit ctrl-b for example and your text will be bold. Way easier than typing the bracketed code for bold every time.

Oh, ok. I hardly use MS word, so I dont really care I suppose. I dont mind typing in tags.

Hola.

Did you indulge in another $1500 dinner?

Twin Peak · 06-05-2004, 02:16 PM

Nope, this was home cooked.

Twin Peak · 06-06-2004, 09:52 PM

Its Sunday night and time for a brief update. I had a pretty low calorie weekend, and I'll check measurements tomorrow in the am, but I just slammed some of BSL's nighttime protein blend with a bunch of natural peanut butter, and that was the kick off to a very high calorie week.

I am going to keep it a clean high calorie week (such as a bunch of High Carb days) but I am sure some red wine and other goodies will end up sneaking in. Anyway, let's hope to boost strength and build some muscle this week, I think my body is ready for it.

MONDAY 6/7

So higher calories it is (two bagels and a half muffin later,,,,)

Today was chest (and tris since I skimped out last week). I was strong today on chest, so that is good. I will omit drop sets but will put an asterisk if I did one.

Low-pulley crossovers

80 x 12
100 x 6, 60 x 8
100 x 6, 60 x 6
High-pulley crossovers

120 x 12
120 x 10
Hammer Strength Incline Presses (weight indicates per side)

3 plates x 6
3 plates x 10, 2p x 6
3 plates + 10 x 5
Bench Press*

245 x 15
265 x 6, 1/2 reps x 4
225 x 14
*These are not to failure, and I normally don't recommend light weights and high reps, but I am still recovering and can't go any heavier.

NOTES: A few weeks back I was feeling exceptionally large, and lately, exceptionally small. While I fully recognize that this is probably my mind fucking with me, I look less vascular, and my arms measured 1/4 inch smaller today. It might be that I am flat, or that I remain fuller when doing my Volume Phase as opposed to Intensity.

Twin Peak · 06-07-2004, 10:09 AM

1) Its only 11 am.

2) I said only last night I was going to keep it clean.

**Jodi** · 06-07-2004, 10:10 AM

I know that but what,

Half a muffin?

Monolith · 06-07-2004, 12:52 PM

You benched my max 15 times

Twin Peak · 06-07-2004, 12:55 PM

Sorry. I'll do better.

**Prince** · 06-07-2004, 01:03 PM

TP how is the shoulder?

by the looks of those bp numbers I guess it is doing well?

About as well as can be expected. I am finally doing full ROM on the bench. But previous to the injury I would keep reps in the 4-9 range, the higher reps reflect the fact that I don't want to go too heavy. In fact, the lower reps on the 265 was because I did not have a spot today, and it didn't feel 100%.

The 225 and 245 felt great though.

True. At 18 I was maxing out at over 300 with only 4 months of training under my belt. And I didn't have a clue and was benching every other day.

**Jodi** · 06-08-2004, 10:12 AM

I think that's the reason for some of my strength too. I'd rather not be as strong and have a faster metabolism though.

**IainDaniel** · 06-08-2004, 10:17 AM

Damn, I must of missed out on that train, I am fat and a sissy

Twin Peak · 06-09-2004, 07:56 PM

Okay, quick update. I have been working more than I like, and this has affected my eating and my sleep. So I have been tired (and slacking a tad) at the gym.

I have also been eating a ton, and except for one or two cheat meals, I have been living off of whey, steel cut oatmeal, fiber one, and 1% milk. Sad, really. Almost as bad as Novo. Well, not quite, that is truly pathetic. So I am waiting for Jodi to send me a box of those homemade oatmeal cookies; hasn't happened yet.

Anyway this is right on track with my I-am-sick-of-dieting-and-need-some-time-stuffing-my-fat-face-on-a-regular-basis-and-pretend-that-it-is-a-minibulk diet.

So far I STILL freaking look flat and small (weird, damn head games), and I have a little bloat but no noticeable fat gains.

Well, Saturday I go back to cycling carbs and calories and trying to drop a few.

As far as workouts, yesterday was back and I was drained. I cut it short. Though the sets I did do, strength was up (again) from last week. For example, 250 on the pulldowns, 90 lb DB rows, etc.

Today was legs, and donchaknowit, but I hate legs. So while I had more energy than yesterday, it was just....eh.

And, well, that's about all.

Best. Diet. Ever.

Just dont do it for 4 months like i did last summer.

And wtf. Two weeks ago i did a 95lb DB row for 10 reps. WTF am i doing wrong? Im obviously screwing something up if youre only using 90's, and youre using waaaay more weight on your other back exercises.

This is correct form, right? --

All you had to do was ask

Pathetic? Maybe you need to explain to me just how my diet contravenes YOUR carb cycling guidelines. Yup, I eat whey almost exclusively, with oats on a carb day. Whey is an acceptable lean protein source, you said so. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, sarcastic-boy.

What I don't understand however is why you are eating like me when not dieting - this constitutes stuffing-my-fat-face time and you're choosing whey and fiber one rather than good stuff?? Now, that, I contend, really is pathetic.

I wonder which one of these smilies that you like so much would be most appropriate at this point ...
