First thing first.......... GREAT w/o Brother!!! I was on a fairly strict diet. But I used a 40-40-20 split, up until 12 weeks out from my contest. Then I dropped my carbs down @ 100 a week till I got to no lower than 50 a day!!! Hope that helps

Don't get discouraged. You got 410 up twice, right? Hey, you can't aspire to greatness without taking a few risks along the way! Great job!
I'll explain, I was so absent minded today that I did the following. If you remember, the sled has two sets of bars, one set in front, to load up your weights, and another set in back, so that if you run out of space on the front bars, you can add more weight. What I did is that I put weight on the left in the front and on the right, I put the weight in back....that probably didn't make a difference in the weights, looking back at it now, but it really f*cked me up psychologically, I couldn't do more after that.....

I am feeling better now, but my body is still kinda weak.....

Perfect, that's exactly the split that Jodi put me in....
Thanks a lot....

By the way, if it hadn't been for you and Pylon today, I probably would have skipped it (my w/o) and then felt like shit after.....

Hi Senor Gdub....

Today was definitely a mission but I was able to pull it off....Don't worry, I will literally knock you out when I start really going at it. This is just a beginners routine from the book, next week I'll be kicking my ass......

Thanks for your support, you are always around for a pick me up. I wish I could do the same, but lately I have been a selfish young man.....

Wow...glad I could be of assitance. Now if I could only motivate myself on days like that, I'd really be onto something!

Well, today my upper back is bothering me, which is good, that means that the bent-over reverse rows are working very well where they are supposed to work. My shoulders are also in the same boat. I am also happy that my knees aren't hurting after yesterday's fiasco...

My body has gotten used to training again as I am not hurting a whole lot, just a little sore. Yesterday I was in pain all over and queezy. But I will not throw up.....

Hi Brother, I really wanted to get to the gym today, but my body is not responding well and I want to avoid injury. Today I had the kids all day and just that in itself really tired me down...

I will resume tomorrow and try to (even if you are not supposed to) to do it again on saturday, since I know I won't be able to do it sunday....

I wouldn't recommend HITing back to back days. That will really wipe you out
Maybe just do it tomorrow, and then relax, get your mind re-focused over the weekend, enjoy your family and especially kids, re-group and HIT it hard on Monday. It will not kill you to take an extra day off here and there. Trust me Your body will prolly even thank you by responding better come monday


And for the record, I KNOW how tiring it is a day with your children If we could have just 1/10th of their energy, we could lift like madmen every day

Beleive me Brother. Just HIT it tomorrow, and enjoy the weekend. You'll be better come monday

Another thing. While on HIT, I wouldn't w/o if I was starting to get sick either. You wipe out your immunity system when you HIT. It's a very extreme workout (as you can witness to) and really wipes your body out. You are correct for skipping today. You could easily lose focus and hurt yourself from being too tired. You need 100 % concentration and focus. You'll be just fine my little Padwan

Sure, you tell HIM that, Arch!

After being struck down with my kid's flu bug for two days, I don't think I'll be lifting again until Monday. I'm also a little worried that when I first got sick, the only thing in me was a banana protein shake...that didn't stay in me long. I've still got about 5 lbs of the stuff. I'm hoping I can still stomach it.
