Thread: Welcome To Jamrock

Welcome back Hilary. Stick around this time will ya. What are your goals for this journal?

HI!!!

missed you both!

my main goal is consistency. b/c whether i want to drop fat or gain muscle or maintain i won't be able to 'til i stop with the on again / off again crap i've been pulling for oh....a couple of freaking YEARS now.

Just remember that all excuses are just that, excuses. They are bullshit. If you are thinking about skipping a workout, then just slap yourself in the face and say, "No bitch, you buckle down!" Or some such nonsense. Just do it Nikegurl.

Good luck.

thanks so much CowPimp. that's exactly right. sure - there are "factors" (excuses) as to how i went off track but we've all got 'em and when all is said and done - i either trained or i didn't. i either ate the way i need to in order to achieve my goals or i didn't.

the plan for this journal is to stop any and all whining/bitching/explaining ( ) and just do the right things in terms of training and nutrition each day. simple. maybe not easy - but not so complicated either.

Bump to that!

3 in a row. I'm trying to think of it like going to work in the morning. I never WANT to get up and go but I always do and once I get there - I actually like it.

Last night's workout was rough though. My shoulders and triceps were sore from Tuesday and it was chest day. I figure at this point no matter how I split the bodyparts up I'm going to be sore as hell when it's time to hit the next workout since I'm so out of shape I did it anyway. Didn't like how weak I was but figured it'll get better if I keep going.


CHEST
Flat DB Press - 4 sets
Incline Smith - 3 sets
Pec Deck - 3 sets

CALVES

I'm going to do calves twice a week. They really need major work and I've always neglected them. I'm going easy at first though....we all know how beyond bad calf pain can get. Right now they hurt but I can walk.


Here's my split:

Monday - off (Monday Night Football! )
Tuesday - shoulders and calves
Wed - back and abs
Thurs - chest and calves
Fri - legs
Sat - bis and tris and abs
Sun - off (did I mention it's football season )

Nice split Hilary. I love how everything coincides with football. A few pesky Thursday night games might put on damper on things, but there aren't many of those.

friday was leg day. friday hurt. saturday hurt. sunday hurt even more. today's a bit better.

I thought I took it easy since it had been so loooong time since I trained legs...but my taking it easy has left me nearly crippled. (this too shall pass )


Squats - 4 sets
Leg Press - 3 sets
Extensions - 2 sets
SLDL - 4 sets

SAT was arms

Sunday off for football Cooked my meals for this week. Decided to "fiddle" with the diet a bit not b/c I was impatient for results after such a short time but b/c I didn't like some of the food etc.

Nice looking w/o's Nike... So, when are we gonna get some pics? .

pics will come the day after i look in the mirror and i like what i see

freaking starving. 45 minutes 'til next meal.

did my cardio this morning. i'm only doing it 3 times a week to start. i'd rather do none . in 2 weeks i'll bump it up a bit and alternate between adding days and time over the course of my cut.

new training split this week. going to split quads and hamstrings up and see how that goes for me.

did i mention i was starving.
