About that time I (nutrition)

Double D · 07-12-2006, 04:40 PM

Been sticking to my journal ok, but the workouts have been to few in between. Like I have said its really hot and I have to air conditioning in my garage. So I try to lift in the pm, which sucks because I am much weaker.

At least you continue to do them!!! Keep your chin up and your heart light!!!

Double D · 07-12-2006, 06:29 PM

Thanks Arch. Right now its softball time anyways and I think we are going B state this year which is pretty much some of the best teams in the state. We hope to come away with a state title this year. Last year we placed 3rd. Winter has always been my time to shine, summer is for leaness and maintaining.

AKIRA · 07-12-2006, 06:36 PM

I forgot again, but what are butterflies?
Are your shoulder presses with a BB and are they seated? (I wish my gym had the appropriate shit)
I read your last leg workout and jesus man, fucking 60lb DB lunges???!!! I just started doing these and Id either drop those DBs, run out of breath at my 3rd rep, or pass out.

I am going to be doing alot of unilateral movements soon, so hopefully lunges will come up!

Good work.

Double D · 07-12-2006, 06:45 PM

Butterflies are laying flat on a bench with a dumbell in each hand. With your elbows slightly bent and bring the dumbells out to your sides keeping your elbows slightly bent. And bring it back up like hugging a tree.

My barbell presses are standing because I don't have a spot.

And those 60's are pretty decent. In college I was using 80's now those were tough. i have lost a bit since then, but only in the legs. The rest of my lifts are pretty close to then.

Thanks for the encouragement.

joycough · 07-12-2006, 08:25 PM

Still pretty nice.

Very nice looking w/o's D!

Double D · 07-12-2006, 08:31 PM

Joycough-Thank you I appreciate it.

fufu · 07-12-2006, 08:32 PM

Personally, I find I preform a little better later in the day. I like to workout in the morning though.

Double D · 07-12-2006, 08:39 PM

If it wasnt so hot I would work out at like noon each day. Damn the heat!

joycough · 07-12-2006, 08:48 PM

I tried 6 in the morning. I've tried 4-5 in the afternoon. For myself I find that 10 am is best, then 4-5. Too early in the morning I'm still half asleep. We'll see what I have to do when I start to work some day...

Whatever works for you though, eh! Everyone is totally different.

I also like it best when there is virtually no one at the gym.

Double D · 07-12-2006, 08:51 PM

Well I have no real gym I workout in my garage without an airconditioner. Oh it sucks. So this past week its been like 95 each day. And theres no way I am training in those conditions. But like I said I just try and maintain in the summer and really build in the winter.

fufu · 07-12-2006, 09:08 PM

The sun saps my energy sometimes too.

So butterflies are like flies? Are the elbows more bent than regular flies? ...or are buttlerflies = flies? hahah

Thats still crazy weight for the lunges. I am trying to perfect mine myself. I keep feeling some fucking pain in my tailbone when doing these...

Double D · 07-13-2006, 03:41 PM

Did you do something to your tailbone recently or in the past? Tailbones sometimes take a very long time to heal.

And flyes and butterflyes are the same thing.

Double D · 07-13-2006, 04:04 PM

Decided to do 5x5 today.
Squat-5 sets of 5 with 375lbs. (seemed fairly easy today)
Deadlift-5x5 with 400lbs. (not to bad either, sure was tough but I think I couldve done a few more sets)
Lunges-3x10 with 90lb Db's (pretty tough)
Leg curls-went with 3x10 (again cant remeber weight)
Calve raises-3x25,20,15 350, 400, 450lbs.

Wo Time-65 minutes.

I will get serious again one day, but for now I am doing pretty good. Right now I am lucky to get my leg day in once every 2 weeks. But taking last week off seemed to help me out.

fufu · 07-13-2006, 06:29 PM

Damn, those are some massive lowerbody numbers. Especially for not being "serious". Sheesh!

Double D · 07-13-2006, 06:32 PM

Well I was very serious over the winter and most of the summer. Only the past month have I kinda slacked off. Thanks though.

fufu · 07-13-2006, 06:34 PM

It'll probably do you some good to taper off anyways.

I know! Its Nucking Futs!

Are you deadlifting that weight with straps?

joycough · 07-14-2006, 01:34 PM

Damn D that's some crazy numbers...especially the Deads...damn!

Double D · 07-14-2006, 03:15 PM

Yeah unfortunatly I do use straps. Theres no way around it for now. I normally do anything under 300lbs without straps. But after that I figure if it was my grip that I wanted to workout then I would concentrate more on it, but since its a back and legs thing then I dont want to have to worry about my grip.

Thanks guys I appreciate the encouragement.

Double D · 07-14-2006, 03:17 PM

Well as for today I decided to do some minor things.
Decline crunches-4x25 with 25lb plate
Seated knee ups-4x25

Cardio-Heavy Bag for 25mins.

Wow abs are killing me now though, but they are one of several parts of my body that need improved!

Archangel · 07-14-2006, 03:30 PM

FANTASTIC w/o BRother D, movin some serious weight!!! And I LOVE your cardio choice, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, heavy bag training!!!

Double D · 07-14-2006, 03:33 PM

I try and pick a spot on the bad and work on that and mix in on what would be some body shots. My hands have gotten much quicker over the past year with that bag.

Thanks alot Arch.

fufu · 07-14-2006, 04:21 PM

I didn't know you boxed.

Double D · 07-14-2006, 06:01 PM

I dont actually box. I get into alot of scraps here and there, but thats just because some people cant control their mouth and sometimes I am not the better man. But I love to hit the heavy bag for about 30 minutes its an incredible workout.

Double D · 07-14-2006, 07:31 PM

Weighed this morning and weighed in at 200.4lbs. Seem to stay right about there. Oh well, I dont pay to much attention to my weight, just my poundages.

kenwood · 07-14-2006, 07:42 PM

nice cardio choice

i also have a heavy bag and speedbag

but never use it lol

fufu · 07-14-2006, 08:49 PM

lawl, I personally wouldn't mess with a guy of your strength.
