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...

Workout A

Here we go!!!

Front Squat, 60 sec RI-
95 x 12, 10, 9

DB Bench, 60 sec RI-
50 x 15, 11, 8

Nautilus Unilateral Leg Press (emphasis on hams and glutes) 60 sec RI-
50 x 15
90 x 15
140 x 15

BB Row-
85 x 15, 14, 13

Skulls-
55 x 14, 11, 9

Workout Time- 30 min.

Wow, this really kinda made my stomach turn. I hate, I mean I HATE high reps and lower RI's. Weights are LOW but I'm doing a 4 second negative and trying to keep form very strict. It was a good first workout!

I think I'll add knee ups on one day and rope crunches on another.

Meal one- Protein and Carb shake

Meal two, post w/o- Same as above

Meal three- 20g protein shake

Meal 4- Tuna steak, 1/2 cup of oats with raspberries.

Meal 5- Chicken baked with Ritz crackers and walnuts on it.

Meal 6- Maybe cottage cheese or just bed.

Ugh, 4 second negatives on front squats. Evil death destruction vomit etc. Good to see you workout once in a while still. Hehe.

Guess you all want an update eh?!? Alright, been very depressed and really lacking motivation lately. Had trouble sleeping last week starting Wed night.

On Saturday I went and had the other side of my back filled in (tattoo) so I need to stay out of the gym for a few days while that heals and then in 2 weeks I'm back again to have the dragon and tiger redone and colored.

I'm going to try and get up tomorrow morning and at least do a bit of cardio before work. We'll see...

You all need to stay on my ass though and motivate me!!!!!
