yellowmoomba · 03-09-2006, 08:45 AM

Another workout with a lot of increases......Nice going BM!!

b_reed23 · 03-09-2006, 12:47 PM

on the workout AND meals...the gumbo sounds yummy!

Pylon · 03-09-2006, 07:18 PM

The w/out looks good, but gumbo for breakfast?

boilermaker · 03-09-2006, 07:28 PM

Deadbolt:Thanks, no it isn't easy to eat all clean stuff. I really struggle with dressings and sauces as my weakness.

YM: Thanks, man. I'm really liking HIT

Billie: Your pictures look great

I'm glad to see you having so much success. Keep up the good work. I appreciate the compliment.

Pylon: Heck yeah, if its ready to eat, I'm ready to eat it

Hey, nice work on the increase in weight for your last workout. It's good to hear the only exercise you dropped weight on was to improve your form/ROM.

Reading your diet reminds me I need to get some more veggies in myself.

How do you like your PWO shake? I haven't tried one with mixed berries before, although I have used strawberries and that was pretty fantastic. Have you tried banana in place of the berries? That is pretty close to what I do for my PWO shake now. Just curious as to how it compares.

Thanks for the good words on the workout, Kent.

Truthfully, I like it better with banannas. I do this about half the time. More if I can get away with it. It's kind of a matter of supply and demand. Demand being that my kid likes banannas and if were low I go tap into the 3# berry blend in the freezer. The berry shake tastes great, but you have to deal with the seeds. And I had to deal with a bout of dyverticulitis a few months ago, so, I prefer the banannas because seeds aren't good for that condition.

Bummer news. I'm missing a gym day. Legs. My kid has been home 3 days in a row with the tummy flu and now my wife has it. She was home from work all day

I'm keeping my distance, but have to take care of duties. Hopefully, tomorrow I can get the workout caught up and go to my favorite show in Detroit. The home and garden show at Ford Field!!!

boilermaker · 03-12-2006, 12:53 PM

It's still sick bay at my household. And my wife had to go to a wedding shower today. So, I won't be able to get to the gym until tomorrow. Work is going to be two really long days Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday morning will be a 6 a.m. first call so I can get home in time to get to the airport for my flight. Planning this. Workout at 5:30 a.m. Monday and Tuesday. Maybe Wednesday morning before my flight. This would be three days in a row, though. Maybe do push Monday, legs Tuesday and pull Wednesday. Is this too much?

Sorry things are goin so bad for you right now Brother Boiler, hope everyone gets better QUICKLY for you my Friend!!! Since it's gonna be a hectic week for you anyway, I wouldn't suggest doing 3 days back to back to back!!! You might be trying to fight getting sick yourself and just don't know it yet, and HITting it will decrease your immunity system greatly, so I would highly suggest waiting, and maybe doing a Mon,Tues, and Friday this week since you have to do a back to back this time!!! Just my 2 cents my Friend, hope it ALL works out for you!!!

boilermaker · 03-12-2006, 01:11 PM

So Arch, would I be better off doing a monday, wednesday split this week and then back to normal next week with Mon, Wed, Friday?

Defiantly, I would work it like this :
Monday - Chest/Back
Wednesday - Legs
That way you HIT your BIG muscle groups you know!!!
The smaller groups will be worked plenty enough doing the larger groups!!! And then pick right back up next week where you left off, and I wouldn't be suprised if the time off improved some of your smaller lifts too!!!
Hope that makes sense???

boilermaker · 03-12-2006, 01:21 PM

So you think I should combine Moday into a Push/Pull day and do legs on Wednesday?

Archangel · 03-12-2006, 01:27 PM

Monday - Chest/Back Push/Pull
Wednesday - Legs

Archangel · 03-12-2006, 01:40 PM

You might even like that split better, let me know, you can always do a split like this:
M-Chest/Back
W-Delts/Arms
F-Legs/Abs

boilermaker · 03-12-2006, 01:43 PM

Friday won't work because I'll be in Las Vegas. I could go with good intentions, but the reality is that other than cardio, Thursday thru Sunday probably won't involve wieghts.

I think this would be the best option for you boiler. Missing an arm workout for one week won't be the end of the world.

Why do I have to miss anything. I think one set of bi and tri each would be fine.

Did you ever think there would come a day you would say that about working out? I think it is fantastic that you want to hit everything this week regardless of the time limitations. I know you will figure out a way to do it

Opps almost forgot, I will be at a farm tomorrow that should be able to give me some insight to Derby picks. Will post what I find out tomorrow night.

b_reed23 · 03-13-2006, 12:23 AM

How are the wife/boy today?? Are you taking plenty of vitamins too??

Where are you staying again? Isn't there a gym? There is a gym in The Venetian and I plan on taking my workout gear and working out at least 2 days while I'm there. You can come workout with me!

Now there's an offer you can't refuse, boiler.

Viva Las Vegas!!!

boilermaker · 03-13-2006, 05:37 PM

Super long day at work!!!!!!!!!!!! Trying to get all my stuff done before I leave on Wednesday. I couldn't go work out this morning because the weather sucked and I had to make sure I left early enough to get across the state for my first appointment. I'll be going at 8 tonight.

Dev: A year ago I would have laughed if I read those comments about not blowing off working out. Can't wait for that horse pick. The most important thing is to make sure we get a horse that actually makes it to the starting gate in the derby. No refunds on future wagers.

Billie: the kid (see what I did there?) is back to normal. My wife is pretty wiped out, but not sick anymore. Multi-V's for me.

Missfit: I'm staying at the Frontier Hotel. Wow, an IM buddy, workout partner and advertising guru all rolled into one. It's like having my own personal hostess, like on that show "Vegas"

Trips: You got that right. I better bring my HR Monitor

Nuke: Where you been? Good to hear from you.

I've been....you know I'm not sure. Check my journal for that answer.
