The attention I give him is the wrong kind unfortunately, I like to ride him hard.

... ah, that expression may not translate? I've got a sneaky suspicion it may be taken the wrong way by some of IM's naughtier minds?

Yea, I have a naughty mind.. Would you like to ride me hard too?

No, it translates fine. I know what you mean.

Since when is that the wrong kind of attention.

Nope, I wasn't looking for attention, but I could here my own voice echo in here.

Anyway, enough of this nonesense and bantering, that is not what I meant either.

UPDATE: MIDDLE OF DELOAD WEEK

Okay, so I took some measurements today, my weight and waist are back down (i.e. the bloat is now gone) and that is despite all the nice red, last night.

Arm size is still up however, so that is a good sign. Tuesday I trained as follows:

Pulldowns
Seated Cable Row
Leg Extensions
1 Leg Leg Presses
Hamstring curls

Yesterday was a day off, and today was much like Monday. Today weas interesting as I worked in with a woman who literally made me look small. She was large, with full muscles, thick, and ripped. Her shoulders popped, and her wingspan was extraordinary. So, it was no suprise to find out that she was 10 days out from a show -- a pro qualifier. And three weeks she is competing in Spain for the World (Classic?). Anyway, it was very cool talking to her about training philosophies, and diet.

Thankfully, she wasn't as strong as me. She was doing incline DB presses with 70s, however, which is mighty impressive especially being one week out from a show.

You're whining like a pom. No riding, no nonsense, no banter? Just what is it you DO want then Mr.Picky?

And hey, I asked that you didn't let on we trained together today - you know, in case the competition get wind of my condition ...

Being the internet stalker that I am, it was easy to find the woman who I trained with this morning:

Tsk, tsk - I've explained this once before. Clearly not a memorable experience for you.

Prisoner Of (her) Majesty - acronym used by Aussies to describe the English (originally sent over here as convicts, ie "detained at her majesty's pleasure", prisoners). Used mainly in the phrase "whinging poms" ... as, for reasons unknown, they tend to think we complain a lot.


And yikes, she has crazy arms.

Admit it, she out-curled you, right?

I admit nothing.

Actually, we only trained chest together, but based on what she was benching, I doubt she can curl what I do.

That said, I have what, 60 or so pounds on her.

Nice

I would love to workout with Christine but I'd never be able to keep up with her.

Yeah, impressive weights indeed. And she was disappointed, because she used 80s the week prior. Regardless, a week out from a show that is mighty impressive.

Lucky for my ego, I was using 140s on the incline for 8 prior to surgery. And I could probably do 100 or 110s now.

Hmmm, I'm going to be in Spain at that time. Know any of the details of the show?

Time to update. I had my mid-cycle week of deconditioning. And, what happened?

I lost the 1/4 inch I previously gained. Things that make you go, hmmm. Do what's the reason? Did Novo's hex finally kick in? Could be. Or it could be sarcoplasmic reduction. Or it could be that I wasn't really needing a week off, and I should have just stuck to the plan. Hard to say. Any ideas?

Well, today was my intensity day, and I backed off a bit, not doing any drop sets. Strength was down at first, but then after I got going, strength was actually up some. Interesting. For my heavy set of straight bar curls I did 165 for 4 reps. Cheated a tad.

I also ended up fat and bloated again; damn weekend barbeques.

Weird. Im thinking it has to be sarcoplasmic reduction... since there's no way you'd lose (or gain) a quarter inch that quick. That'd explain why your strength was relatively unchanged (or even increased), too. It'll probably come back right quick once you spend less time at the BBQ's and more time in the gym.

Very funny. But I suspect you are right. Still, I think the week off was unnecessary.

Oh, you are talking about the log of the chat. No, I wasn't expecting him to post it, I was telling you that he likely had it and could email it, if you wanted. That said, it was a shitty chat, with very, very few questions. I guess I answered everything before.

Whoa. I just saw that D_Sade is leaving Avant... that fucking sucks. WTF is Mike looting him for? Mike's making enough goddamn money... heh. At least Team Avant is finally going to congregate in one place, though. Although, based on the pastimes of some of you guys, im not sure if thats so great for business. There might be more time spent sampling liquor than sesathin.
