I didn't do any tricep work today because i am switching bi day with tri day to make it Chest/bi/abs on sunday and back/tri on friday because my bi's were heavily fatigued from doing back and tri's from chest so a switch should enable me to do some direct work.

99hawkins, no it's the other way around. I do 185 pounds for 5 reps.

pylon, thanks for commenting in my journal. You're the only one that does. I read everyone's elses journals, comment about them and give them good advice/congrats but they wont for me.

Good workout today. My bench seems to be getting stronger and i'm starting to get the hang of cardio. I dont hate it as much as i used to. I also gave decline DB press a try today and it wasn't that bad. It just has a short ROM.

Somewhat of a shitty workout today. Right before i started, my legs were sort of cramped from heavy deadlifts last friday and cardio last sunday. As soon as i finished the 2 set of squats, i was out of breath and tired. However, i did finish it off strong.

Took a break from deadlifts today. Glutes and legs were a little sore and i have work in a few hours so i didn't want my back to be dead. My work involves a lot of carrying and moving around heavy objects, etc.. as a part time job for the summer before i go off to college. It's a real pain when my lower back is hammered from lifting.

Nice w/o... Yeah, I understand the not doing deadlifts thing. My summer job involves scanning barcodes on CD, putting them in shipping envelopes, etc (LOTS of repetition)... You'd think the biggest pain would be the occassional papercut, but actually, after a couple hours of doing that your back and neck get to be a little sore.

well i couldnt get my workout done today since it was founders day today and had a few errands to run. Then everyone needed the car so im stuck here until 3 which is my best friends grad party and another party later on tonight. Hopefully ill avoid the alcohol. Tomorrow is my graduation and then the all night party so it's gonna be really fun but i will not be able to eat a lot and probably end up having like 2000 calories.

I'll be back on track monday when my schedule is more flexible and i have more time to eat and lift.

Lucky you. My dad and mom obviously have their own car. The third car my dad bought is shared between me, my older sister and younger brother since they both drive. I hate having to share it all the time because we constantly fight over when we have it and act like it's ours. Gas money is a big issue too since i always end up paying for it the majority of the time because i'm the only one that works and they dont even have a job yet. My dad wont let me buy my own car because he thinks i should save it for college and other important things later in life and thinks i dont need one. I'm just lucky my oldest sister is not home this summer (since she goes to school in San Diego) so 4 kids and 1 car would mean like hell all summer.

That sucks. I have two older sisters, but they're both gone right now. One's married and the other's been in Germany and Japan the last year and a half. Although, when she gets back cars might be a problem because my dad's using her old car since he's having mechanical problem with our van (it's like 12 years old, been driven pretty much every day).

All right. I had a long, but fun weekend. Saturday i was at my friends graduation party all day and then went over another friends party before fireworks on founders day. I had a couple beers so it wasnt too bad. Sunday was the day of graduation. It was unbelievably hot outside (95 degrees) and everyone was soaking in sweat with pants and shirt on. It was a quick one so it was nice to get the diploma and we had mr kraft (owner of patriots) as a guest speaker. After that my family and i went out to eat at the 99 and i had a buffalo chicken sandwich as a cheat meal. I just ate so much because i missed the good taste. Went back to my friends house and this is where i absolutely killed my body. I had about 7 beers, got really drunk and didnt even eat for a good 10 hours or so. We had that all night party at the high school from 10pm - 5 am. I was so hungry and tired. It was very fun though, playing poker, riding the mechanical bull, being hypnotized, etc... Got home around 5:30 am and had protein shake and oats. Went to sleep and woke up around 12:30. I just had a bowl of cereal and protein shake so i need to get to the gym today and make up for my scheduled workout yesterday. Im finally free for this summer so now more bullshit and time to get focused. Back on track tomorrow dieting wise.
