The Return of G-Dub !

gwcaton · 10-08-2005, 07:23 PM

Ok, time to leave the land of the slackers and get my old ass back in the saddle again.

I have let the back rest 6-8 weeks now and can not sit still any longer. There will probably be several things I won't be able to do but I'll cross that bridge or find another way to where I want to be when I get to that point.

Primary goal , get rid of the gut I aquired over the past couple months. Guess I better dust off the stationary bike

and get the diet back inline .

Have decided to stick with the P/RR/RR/S that I started before the ruptured disc. Will start with RR and do chest/bi's .

The return starts 10-9-05 . Hope to see all my regular buds visiting my journal and meet some new members too.

See ya in the A.M.

Incline Db Bench -
40 x 9
50 x 9
65 x 9
These felt incredible !!!

BB bench -
125 x 12
135 x 12
140 x 10
So far so good !!

Db Flyes -
2 sets 35 x 15
Whew ! I can't beleive I made it through all those !

Seated Alt. Hammer curls -
2 sets 35 x 9
Right were I left off !!!

Cable preacher curls -
2 sets 35 x 12
Dead on !! First 6-8 were easy but by the time I hit 10-12 it was all I could do .

Drag Curls-
2 sets 35 x 15
damn thats a bunch of curls, bi's on fire ! Made it .

Hanging Knee raises -
3 sets 15
Squeeze and hold each rep

Notes:
2 min RI's on chest/bi's
1 min RI's on abs

Felt like a kid in a candy store !!! The adrenaline was flowing !

Had big ol' smile on my face when I walked in the gym and saw all that iron just sitting there waiting for me !!!

DAMN I'M GONNA BE SORE !!!

OOOO almost forgot. weighed this morning 197 !!!!

Not as bad as I thought it would 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...
