Toe is fine...just as long as I don't move it its fine! Its not the first time....I broke m left toe 2 years ago and it took a while to heal...just can't do calves. So I will just let it heal the same way and stay away from calfe work heh.

Hey man, this is the first that i have been able to check out your journal. the pic in the avatar is SICK! awesome back, do you have more pics? that week off should do you well, i always hate that first workout after time out, though, strength is nil, and the pump just isnt the same. keep up the good work!

Rissole · 08-20-2005, 02:18 AM

Just take it as it comes mate, we all know your committed. When it falls into place you smash it like never before

Try to enjoy the time off, Bolt. The iron will still be there when you are ready, and it don't care how long you been gone.

Heya brotha glad you were able to stop in to my journal. Its nothign special but its work in progress lol. Thanks about the avi....thats from last year but my bf% was very low LOL. I was around 8%bf when I took that picture. I haven't taken any recent ones though...I was to drop a few more lbs before I do. But I'll let EVERYONE know once I do LOL.

Yea I hate those first workouts after a week off I am always so week but the weeks to follow make up for it! I ussually jump back into the swing of things pretty fast depending how I fuel my body food wise. It will probably take me longer b/c I'm cutting cals as we speak!

How about you man? Hows the moving going?

DeadBolt · 08-22-2005, 10:32 AM

First day back in a week and half pretty much. Body needed a good rest but it really kills me in the gym to come back after such a long break!!!

Back:
Conventional Deadlift
185*8
195*8
205*8
~~these felt good....got alot more power left in me but didn't want to go crazy first day back at them in months.

BB B/o Row
95*12
115*10*2

HS High Row
140*12
180*8

HS Horiz. Row
105*10*2

SS pulldown -/- stiff arm pulldown (forgot to wright weights)

Didn't go to crazy on back today....kept it low volume but intense. Kept things lighter for now and in the next few weeks I'll get back into the swing of things.

Bi's:
BB Curl
65*10
75*6 drop 65*5 drop 45*5

DB Curl
25's*8*2

DS mach preacher
50*8 drop 40*6 drop 30*6

Really had no explosive raw power like I ussually do for bi's. I guess they were to tired from back. I just did alot fo drop sets and stuff for them b/c thats all that felt right today. There was pretty much no rest between and of the bi exercises.

15 minutes mod cardio
hip stretching--forgot how much hip rotation is in full deads...gotta stretch em gooood!

DeadBolt · 08-22-2005, 12:04 PM

Little extra crdio! As soon as I posted I got called out for a car-b-q! Awsome truck fire..I'll post about it later but the thing was cookin!!! Gotta head to work!

* Legion * · 08-22-2005, 12:12 PM

You and i are in similar positions, taking a week off. I needed it this week to celebrate my b day with family, and to prepare my lesson plans for school, which starts this week. I know what you mean when you say that you are "addicted," man, thats how i feel. The whole week that i have been out, i have been pining for the gym, but there were other obligations calling to me. That just shows a person that their mind is still there, focused, where it needs to be, though the body cannot be. Keep lifting, great journal.

Heya bro thanks for stoppin in!!

Hey happy b-day man I had no idea!!!

Hell yea all week I was thinkin about goin back to the gym but I just couldn't get in there! Hell everyone has those busy weeks ya know. Hopefully I will have it a little easier now that school is starting. I'm droping down to roughly 32 hours at work and only working 4 days a week now so I have 3 days off to lift in a row plus the weekends with no class.

What do ya teach?

* Legion * · 08-22-2005, 12:18 PM

What do you study? where do you go to school? Do you have access to a decent gym?

Currently I am majoring in sports medicine. I am going to a community college to build some credits b/c I'm broke but next fall I am transfering to William Paterson University here in Jersey. Its got one of the best local programs. As for the gym...the campus gym is GARBAGE!!!! But I go to a local gym geared more towards lifting rather then those damn bally's cardio rooms! Its pretty good I've been at this gym for a long time now...going on 3 years and I enjoy this place alot. Beats my garage and other shit holes I was in the few years prior to this place. Its one of the best around little expensive but its worth it IMO.

This is just for the time being though....my future plans are Fire Dept. I want to become a paid fireman but b/c that is such a long and drawn out process I figured I'd go to school for now and volly as much as possible. I'm a volunteer fireman, emt, and I drive an ambulance here in northern new jerey for my bread and butter!

* Legion * · 08-22-2005, 12:33 PM

LOL... there IS, however, something primal about training in the garage, provided that one has adequate weight to develop mass and strength. There are times, due to raising an infant son, that i cannot make it to the gym, and my garage must provide. I have enough weight, luckily, to deadlift, clean, pushpress, snatch pull, front squat, and shrug, but I need the gym. I currently work out at the (dont laugh) park district gym, and i think, honestly, i am the only serious lifter there. Mostly used for rehab and for half-assed workouts, it has enough to keep me progressing. I am sketchy about going back to the local bodybuilders gym, formerly a "powerhouse" gym. The prices here in Chicago are outrageous. Most people here go to "Lifetime Fitness," a megaplex of yuppie stair climbers and tank-top posers. I am more old fashioned, I want a powerlifters gym. Soon enough.

Solid jump back into it my Friend!!! lookin good, real good!!! Having the inspection on our house today, and the inspection on our new house (HOPEFULLY) Friday!!! Will know more then, wish me luck, I need it!!!
