Thursday; 12-30-2004

Training:

Took a rest day today, because I have been going to the gym a lot lately without getting much sleep at all. Really not the best combination. Tomorrow I am driving down to Virginia Beach with my girlfriend, for New Year's. And Saturday and Sunday I am going to be training in a gym down there.

Diet:

Meal 1: peanut butter toast
Meal 2: chicken salad sandwich
Meal 3: tuna salad sandwich
Meal 4: 1% cottage cheese + mandarin oranges
Meal 5: 1/2 turkey & cheese sandwich, chicken noodle soup
Meal 6: peanut butter

Sleep: 6 hours. Took a 30-minute nap this afternoon, as well.

Friday; 12-31-2004

Training:

Seated Machine Military Presses
4 sets of 6 with 150

Seated DB Lateral Raises
3 sets of 8 with the 30's

Supersetted With:

BB Front Raises
3 sets of 6 with 75

CG Cable Upright Rows
3 sets of 10 with 80
2 sets of 6 with 120

Great workout today in my basement! I didn't have much time to go to the gym since I am leaving this afteroon for Virginia Beach. So I did a nice short intense shoulder workout in my basement.

Diet:

Preworkout: banana, 1 scoop of Swole
Postworkout: whey protein + 1% milk
Meal 2: MRP bar
Meal 3: grilled chicken sandwich
Meal 4: oriental grilled chicken salad
Meal 5: 2 BBQ chicken breasts, mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes

LOTS OF LIQUOR!

It was New Year's and I was with my girlfriend, so I decided to have some champagne and some mixed drinks, along with some wine. I had about 3-4 drinks total, so nothing too extreme. I am going to be feeling this in the gym tomorrow though, lol.

Sleep: 6.5 hours.

Nice workout man. Those seated machine miltary presses seem a little low for your strength though. Where you just doing a light day?

M.J.H. · 01-01-2005, 10:58 AM

BigDyl: Hey man, actually the seated machine military presses were close to failure on every set. The Paramount machine that I have in my basement is EXTREMELY heavy, lol. If you look back at some of my arm workouts I was doing pressdowns with 70-80 lbs. Normally in the gym I can do 200 lbs., or whatever the stack holds. Thanks for stopping by though, bud.

Saturday; 1-1-2005

CG Cable Pulldowns
4 sets of 7 with 160

Stiff-Arm Cable Pullovers
3 sets of 12 with 100

Good workout today I think, I worked out today at Bally’s Total Fitness, here in Virginia Beach. Hit my back pretty damn hard, no complaints.

Diet:

Meal 1: whey protein + 2% milk, scrambled eggs, whole-wheat toast, grits, brown sugar apples
Preworkout: banana, 1 scoop of Swole
Postworkout: whey protein
Meal 3: turkey & cheese sandwich
Meal 4: MRP bar
Meal 5: tuna salad sandwich, wedding soup
Meal 6: 1/2 peanut butter sandwich
Meal 7: low-fat turkey chili

Sleep: 6 hours? Went out last night with my girlfriend and I’m not sure how much sleep I got. Something close to 6-7 hours, I think.

Interesting workout--at bally's?

I'm suprised they even have enough weight for you there. From everything I've heard they seem to be geared more twoards the lite weight.

You say your in VA beach? I thought you lived in DE?

Hey Mike, I just wanted to congratulate you on keeping this journal for 5 pages. I'm not trying to be a smartass either. Honestly, I'm glad to see you sticking with it.

simbh · 01-02-2005, 09:58 AM

What up mike ... Glad to see its going pretty good for you . This time seems to be the good one (journal) for you. Keep it up for the new year

M.J.H. · 01-02-2005, 12:56 PM

BigDyl: Hey man, I came down to VA with my girlfriend to visit my grandparents, and for New Year's. Bally's is definitely an all-around fitness center bud, I wouldn't say that it's geared to lightweights. There was a guy in Bally's yesterday who I would compare to Ronnie Coleman. Probably 5'10"-5'11" and and pushing 350+ lbs.

soxmuscle: Thanks for stopping by, and you're right, I am on vacation.

CowPimp: Thanks for the support bud, I appreciate it.

simbh: Thanks for the support. I am going to concentrate more in 2005 on keeping my diet clean, so we'll see what happens.

Sunday; 1-2-2005

Training:

Flat DB Presses
4 sets of 6 with the 120's

Incline BB Presses
2 sets of 12 with 185

Seated Machine Chest Presses
3 sets of 8 with 180

Supersetted With:

Machine Pec-Deck Flyes
3 sets of 7 with 150

Good workout today I think, unfortunately I didn't get to workout at Bally's because they decided to be a bunch of a*ses about my guest pass. I had a quick intense workout at a local recreation center. Not too bad, considering that I had a very limited amount of equipment.

Diet:

Meal 1: chicken lettuce wraps, kung pao chicken + brown rice
Preworkout: 1 scoop of Swole
Postworkout: whey protein + 2% milk
Meal 3:

This afternoon for my first meal today I went to P.F. Chang's with my grandparents and girlfriend---which was great. Supposedly the "kung pao" chicken alone, without the brown rice, was 900 calories, 81g protein, 38g carbs, and 47g of fat. But then again the chicken came with tons of peanuts which I didn't eat any of. So I think I avoided a lot of the fat, which was good.

Sleep: 8 hours.
