Tony's Lifestyle Change

fantasma62 · 08-19-2004, 11:19 PM

Hey Cyndi,

Guess what, I hate you.....No, just kidding. THis workout really kicked my ass. For the first time since I restarted my weight training, I haven't felt like I got my ass kicked this bad. I had to skip the deadlifts because I was literally spent. I had nothing left in me....
Here is my routine, which you already know

:

Shoulders
Single arm dumbbell press
7 x 30
9 x 25
Shoulder Shrugs
8 x 135
10 x 115
Wide Grip Upright Row
16 x 95
18 x 85
Dumbbell Front Raises 2x 16-18 (really tough)
16 x 15
18 x 10

Back
WG Pulldowns
7 x 90
9 x 70
CG underhand pulldowns
10 x 70
12 x 50
bent over dumbbell rows (do you know how to do these?)
16 x 20
18 x 15
I was already feeling exhausted while doing this one, so the weight is a bit low. Also, my grip really suffered here. My fingers are not working out well and my grip is really weak...
DEADLIFTS as I said, I couldn't do them, I was spent....

Thanks a bunch buddy....I owe you....

fantasma62 · 08-20-2004, 11:18 AM

Man was I worthless last night. After working out, I came in the house and found that my daughter was still walking around the house. Mind you it was 10:30pm and she had school today. She normally wakes up at 6:15am.
I noticed that she was sleepy but, of course, wanted me to carry her and put her to sleep. After I told her that I couldn't do it, because I just couldn't carry her, I really had nothing left....She gave me the look. You girls know the look, you all use it (I can't believe she is learning already...she's so young) to make us guys melt. So after I melted, I had to fix myself up again and had to summon every ounce of strength that I didn't have, to carry her to my recliner (thank goodness it was next to me), where I proceeded to put her to sleep...Man, she really loves school...I never thought that any kid of mine would like school

. No problem, I still have Anthony's brain to mold

Anyway, here is my workout for tonight:

Arms:

Concentration Curl (7-9)
Alternating Dumbbell Curl (10-12)
Inclined Dumbbell curls (13-15)
Preacher Curl (16-20)
Triceps Pushdown (7-9)
Skull Crunchers (10-12)
Dumbbell Kickback (13-15)
Dumbbell Cross face (16-20)

I haven't posted my meals anymore because I need to work on putting in more calories. Once I get that down, I'll post my meals daily so that ya'll can marvel

Just saw this post!

glad you hate me, that means you are working HARD!!!
EXCELLENT WOKROUT!!!

Do not worry about the weight number, it doesn't matter, as long as you are spent when you are done that is ALL that matters!!! I figured DLs might be too much, they are killer!! So proud of you!!!!
My grip is weak too, sometimes I have to use hooks when I lift very heavy barbells to do deadslift or SLDs..

It will improve too, do not sweat it!

Excellent job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Cyn, thanks a million.....

Cool, I'll do 2 sets of each.
I am taking ICE, which has Glutamine and Branched Amino Acids. I am actually not in that much pain anymore now...I feel ready to

fantasma62 · 08-21-2004, 10:03 AM

Good morning all,

I had an amazing workout yesterday and I'm very happy with it. I prepared myself for the worse regarding the weight, but you know what, I got a tremendous burn with this workout and lesser weights.
I would have posted it last night, but I was so worthless, after the workout that I only had enough energy to go out last night with my wife to the mall and come back home to only collapse in bed. No, it's not just the workout, but the fact that I have been lacking loads of sleep. See, I am used to sleeping between 6-7 hours a night. This week, I have been going to sleep at my usual time, between 12:00 and 1:00 am, but waking up at 5:45-6:00 am. I already started shifting my sleeping habits a bit and last night I "collapsed" as I said, at around 10:30 pm, I woke up after 11:00 and I don't know when I went back to sleep again, but it wasn't much later. Today I got woken up at 8:00 by my boy. So I slept better....
Now for the bad, I have a forced cheat today. Today is my grandmother's 93rd bday and, well, there is pork , rice, beans and all the other goodies that Cubans eat at "EVERY SINGLE FREAKING PARTY". So I'll eat some of it, however, I will be careful today, since I weighed myself and have lost 9 pounds since monday morning. If I hadn't gone to NYC, I would be down 18

. Don't worry, I don't regret the trip to NYC..

Either Way, here is yesterday's workout:

Arms:

Concentration Curl
7 x 20
9 x 15
Alternating Dumbbell Curl
10 x 30
12 x 15
Inclined Dumbbell curls
13 x 15
15 x 12.5
Preacher Curl
18 x 40
20 x 30
Triceps Pushdown
7 x 50
9 x 40
Skull Crunchers
10 x 30
12 x 20
Dumbbell Kickback
13 x 12.5
15 x 10
Dumbbell Cross face (16-20)
18 x 12.5
20 x 10

I was definitely not as spent as I was the day before, but I was sore and tired. I got the best burn in my arms in years....
Have a great day all

greekblondechic · 08-21-2004, 01:31 PM

Glutamine! I should be taking that.. *slowly gets up like an old lady and looks for her bottle* oouuchh...

KataMaStEr · 08-21-2004, 02:02 PM

Keep it up man, you’re kicking some serious ass

You’re will need to isolate yourself from the Cubans though

Sapphire · 08-21-2004, 02:31 PM

Great workout Tony!!! Be careful about what you eat at your Grandma's, keep the portions small, except the protein!! You need it to build those big guns of yours!!!

fantasma62 · 08-21-2004, 09:52 PM

Holy Crap Raul!!! Wonderful eye candy....

Well, it wasnt' so bad today. I didin't eat a whole lot of food. I had small portions of the meal. Another thing is that it was outside and today was "stupid" hot. I must have sweat 3 gallons of water. This heat made me drink, I would say, about 45 cups of water. I no longer drink and hate smoke. I love drinking water. I think that's what's helped me stay healthy throughout my life.
Either way, I am tired and I am going to fall asleep to the Marlins baseball game.
Take care all

fantasma62 · 08-21-2004, 10:41 PM

I am going for it. I have had almost three weeks to think about it. I am going to do Shock...

It's going to be amazing. I am going to surprise myself when I do it because that's my plan....
Anyway, I'll post monday's workout tomorrow for criticism, since I am about falling asleep....

Good night all

atherjen · 08-22-2004, 06:18 AM

I will pretend I didnt see that!

KataMaStEr · 08-22-2004, 08:58 AM

If I remember right the rules are no nipples and no cuchy, not breaking any rules. Nothing is showing on that pic just some skin.

Sapphire · 08-23-2004, 06:46 AM

Still think it looks funny... but that is from a female point of view. Personally I wouldnt want MY booty THAT big, but that is what makes the world go round!!

SHOCK WEEK already Tony!! Good luck Hun!

fantasma62 · 08-23-2004, 07:01 AM

Hey Cyn...

Yup, shock week. I have enough time to convince myself not to do it this week, but the Shock part of my brain still won.
I will post my workout later today, so please feel free to critique away. To keep up with my routine, the days will be as follows: Chest, Legs, Rest, Shoulders/Back, Arms, Rest, Rest....

fantasma62 · 08-23-2004, 07:07 AM

Very happy today. I worked extremely hard this whole week and ate as well as I could after feeling sick (crab meat and cottage cheese incident

), and I have lost 5 full pounds. I am down to 254. I also feel stronger, believe it or not. I never thought that a full week of lifting would do such a thing, but it did.
This week I am going back to counting my calories like a good boy and have made strides to improve my protein and carb intake by tweaking a few things in my diet. I feel good healthwise and I have not gone thru the pains that I normally go thru after working out, thanks to ICE (thanks Jodi).
What makes me even happier is that I had a nice full cheat day on saturday where I had small portions, but I had a few different small portions. I however drank, as I said, no alcohol and instead drank about 45 cups of water, since the party was outside. Either way, I am not unhappy. It affected me physically, of course, since I could have lost more weight. But my mental health is pretty excellent

All in all, I am more pumped than I was last week.
Ok, now I am ready for Shock, may the lord protect me

Sapphire · 08-23-2004, 07:12 AM

You will be fine Tony!! Just remember you may have to go a bit lighter on the weight, because you will be supersetting, very exhausting with no rest.

My shock chest wo was as follows

-SUPERSET: INCLINE FLYE/BENCH PRESS...2 X 8-10 EACH
-SUPERSET: SMITH INCLINE PRESS/CABLE CROSSOVER...2 X 8-10 EACH
-DROPSET: DIP MACHINE (LEAN INTO THEM)...1 X 8-10, DROP, 6-8

I am very sore today from thso workout I did Saturday...

you can replace the cable crossovers with flat flyes and dip machine with flat DB presses dropset.
