    Wolfie's Journal

    Since quitting my journal back in March, I’ve just been kicking around the gym not making any real gains in size or strength. I haven’t been keeping a log either and I need to get back on track.

    I’ll be sticking with the P/RR/S program.
    Age 34
    Ht. 6’-0”
    Wt. 195#

    Today’s workout
    Incline DB 60#
    2X8
    1X6
    Bench DB 60#
    3X6
    Flies 35#
    2X10
    Arnolds 40#
    3X8
    Cheat Lateral 30#
    3X8
    Cable Lateral 30#
    3X10

    Pretty depressing when I look back at my logs, but it gives me a place to start and something to shoot for. Right now, I’m not taking any supplements but plan to start with Swole, glutamine and protein shakes next week. By then I hope to have my diet figured out. Prolly just maintenance for the rest of the summer.

    I also have a wrinkle to plan around. I found out that I have elevated cholesterol. I have a follow test up test in January. So, I need a low cholesterol diet. I don't want to be told I need medication to keep my numbers in check so I have to watch what I eat.

    Well, this is just a start. Keeping a journal really kept me focused last time and I hope it does the same this time around.

    Hey! Welcome back buddy. Missed you around here. Looks like your making a good start back Give it at least 3-4 weeks before you feel your back to where you should be.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    Hey Wolfie -
    Good luck with the new journal and goals.
    Journalling and logging info definately helps keep me on track of my progress and gains ... it's just a bit of a pain in the ass too! lol
    Good luck with the cholesterol issue, my brother went through a bit of a scare with that a while back but 4 months of getting his diet in check and he was back to normal levels.

    Rock, Brit,
    Thanks for checking in. I'm pretty disgusted with how I've "let myself go". I mean I'm not a mess, but I was on track there for a while and feeling great. Then one day off lead to another and another. Then I started back at the gym, but not seriously.
    So recently I joined a gym near work and I've been going at 6:30 a.m. That says a lot because I'm not a morning dude. I have a 30 min drive so I have time to wake up. A couple of guys from work belong so I get a little motivation from them, something I didn't have at my old gym.

    Rock,
    I have been lurking around and been seeing your progress, nice work buddy. How's the home-life. I remember you were going through some heavy stuff, then I think you guys were trying for a young'n. Hope all is well.

    Brit,
    I really hope to correct the cholesterol thing by adjusting my diet. I refuse to take medication for it. I was getting, and still am getting irregular heart beats. Sometimes I skip a beat and sometimes I get an extra one thrown in there. A stress test, an EKG, blood work, and heat monitor later I was told it's nothing to worry about and keep working out. That's how I found out I have "elevated" cholesterol. I have a follow up in January, so we'll see.

    Thanks again for stopping in.

    We all fall off the wagon occasionally, don't beat yourself up over it... you're back on track now - that's all that matters!
