Oh yea...legs are ready for the gym but the upper body isn't. I started with some squats to see how the shoulder felt and they went ok but I attempted a db curl bout 1/4 of my max and it brough so much pain to my shoulder. Something isn't right in there so I'm still not lifting my upper body and am limiting squats to only once a week.

Finally am getting back into the gym!! It feels good to be back in there despite the looks I got. People are like wow look how fat he got and look at the difference in him....they haven't seen me since I tore my shoulder so its almost 30lbs heavier.

Lets get to it:

Squats
135x10
165x8
185x8 PR!!
205x3 PR!!

Press
360x10
390x6
410x5 PR!!
Ext
2x90x8

3 sets decline abz bwx25

Squats These felt good...put alot of pressure on the cuff but it was all worth it! 185 moved like cake and that was my sticking point a few weeks back so I was surprised I could even move it this long without working out. Decided to go for 205...not so easy. First 1 one was perfect second one was tuff and I almost lost it but I pushed through and completed the rep but sloppy...3rd rep was very slow and deep and controlled. I will attempt 205 next week and see how I do.

Press I enjoyed these! My legs were shot after squats but the presses were comfortable unlike every other day. Today I got an awsome ROM and went real deep on each rep so even though the weight was low the reps were good ones. I want to keep it up. I am finally confident about my limitations and know how far I can push myself on these 2 exercises.

Ext's Yea my quads were so hammered it wasn't even funny. I could hardly walk after that workout.

Overall awsome w/o...short sweet and to the point...squats were really killer and have finally broke the 205 mark with bb squats! No more pussy smith machine LOL. I decided to start splitting up quads and hams for the hell of it. Gona try and do cardio a few days a week on hamm days and rest days.

Did a test on the cuff...grabed a DB 1/4 of my curl max and tried to curl it. Not only have I lost a shit load of strength but I also cant even do them. It hurt so bad when I tried to do the curls...got to rep 2 and had to stop. Somethings wrong and I want to figure out what god damnit!!!

Heya boys thanks for stoppin in!! Yea man feels good to be back in the gym again...and the DOMS is killin me 2day LOL. My hammies are sore as hell and I never worked em. I wont even comment on the quads heh...almost got stuck on the bowl this morning. I felt like I needed one of those panic alarms for the nurse to run in when ya get stuck like in the hospital LMAO.

Today is a full day of doin things...just got back from the mechanic (need 4 new tires and I need a tune up), gotta help my girl paint her room, help a friend sheet rock and plaster a new addition, then various social functions. Lots of fun!!!

SOB I got as a flat tire yesterday in the firehouse parking lot. I figured eh what the hell I've changed a ton of tires it will take me 2 seconds. So I get the POS jack out smaller then my cork screw and the wrench the size of the car key. Then the donut...thats what it was smallest thing I'd ever seen!!!! So I get the jack under the car and start to prop it up when BAM a monsoon hits and theres a sudden down pour! OK so now I'm a ltitle upset lol.

Finally get the car up with the shitty jack and try to get the nuts off the tire....no torque to get these rusty things off b/c the tool is to short so I had to jump on the fucker to get em to budge. I wasn't worried about breaking anything at this point b/c I was soaked. Finally got the nuts off and put this tiny ass spare on and crank them ntus back on in a jiff! Now this is all done with one arm....can't use my left arm. You ever tried holding a tire up putting a nut on and tightening it with one hand?!?! Not easy!

So I figure now I'm done...threw all my shit in the trunk and went to walk inside...then I saw it. The spare was flat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF man...so I had to get the compresser and fill the tire. Moral of the story....don't ever get a flat in a toyota carolla!! POS. Can't wait till I get my F150 off road...5sp...MMmmMmmMm and decked out with strobes and lights in every spot imaginable!

Heya my man!! Yea it was a killer weekend!! So long and I'm still up and its almost 3am here LOL. Gotta be up at 7 for class.

I've been better with the shoulder but other then that doin A O K. Last week the shoulder has REALLY been hurting alot! I think the squats did me in but I'm managing. Just been resting a shit load and trying not to lift anything I don't have to. All the painting this weekend killed me to...way to much shoulder rotation and stuff but I had to do it.

Just registered for my summer classes...taking anatomy and physiology. Thats gonna be killer....5 hours of straight school mon-thur! That should be fun!

Nothin accomplished gym wise today. At least not yet!

Had to go to class this morning then dropped my car off at the mechanic. Had to walk home Now I don't have a car or anything so I can't get around anywhere unless I walk but the gym is way to far for that.

Only got about 3 hours sleep last night thinkin of doin my homework then taking a nap or something. Not to sure yet....I'm not overly tired yet so we'll see how everything works out.

Thank god all my classes are done for the week!!! Feels so good heh.

Got another interview today with my new job...gotta be there by 3 so I hope I finally get this job. Sure would be nice to start getting a paycheck again LOL.

The interview is going to screw up my eating so I wont be able to train...I have to eat at 2:30 and the interview is at 3 so it will be a while. I don't have the time to get a meal with carbs in pre workout so by the time I get out of the interview it will be to late for me to eat then get to the gym. Got shit to do afterwards. I'll get in and do some light leg work friday and hit it hard again next week. Can't wait for the set schedual again heh.

Other then that nuttin new!

Ahh stop being a fag already....thats all that ran though my head on the way back from the interview. I got in and did some leg work today! I wasn't prepared though...had no book or anything and didn't go crazy at all. Haven't had carbs in a while....def under 50 the past few days. Strength was there initially but died out fast!

The reps may be off by 1 or so on the heavy sets can't remember the exacts but those are damn close b/c I just finished.

Leg Press
4plates x 15 - warmup
6plates x 10 - warmup
8plates x 8
8plates + 25's x 6
8plates + 25's x 5
***To lazy to do the math LOL...but it was just as heavy as last weeks I believe.

Single Leg Ext.
30x12
50x10
50x8

Lying Leg Curls
70x15
90x10
90x8

I wasn't gonna lift today was only gonna do cardio but my cousin was there by chance. He's my old training buddy for the past 2 years and I have't seen him really since I hurt my shoulder. Felt good to lift with him again! Got to catch up with him and everything was great.

Off to washnight...G'day all!

Thanks for stoppin in brotha!

Yea weekend is a little busy but today is going to be the longest day...I have to be at work in 30 mins...then work till probably 12 and come home and do a few papers LOL.

Yesterday was fine all except dinner. I splurged last night with my final meal...I had a nice steak, 1/2 hand full of trail mix stuff on the bar, and 2 beers. But it was a long night and it was the first time I was craving a beer in a while. But my other meals weren't to bad for being on the run and nothing planned:
6oz grilled chicken, fish oil caps
2 large meatballs, some mozzerella
6oz salmon in lemon/butter sauce, 2 small spears of brocolli
8oz sirloin, 2 beers, 1/2 handfull trail mix

As for today...I'll keep it nice and clean heh. Off to get dressed for work....got a party of 60 to cater tonight so I need to go set up the dining hall.
