I was fine until I started on the close grip bench. I got totally exhausted and couldnt move much weight. I am getting lots of sleep tonight because my mom is keeping the kids for me and they wont be waking me up at 6 again in the morning. I figure get to bed by 1am (since I get off at 12) and get up around 10am. That would be a good solid 9 hours of sleep. I can actually feel myself slowing down!

I only got another 5 hours of sleep last night and even decided to go ahead with my workout today and I am pretty drained now. I have been eating alot today however to try and make up for it. But I can only see that leading to bad weight gain. And of course I take my vitamins, never miss em. Thank you for caring Jodi I will keep you posted on what goes on. Thank you again.

Again, I understand about the job. Make sure you do take time for yourself and don't wear yourself out too much. Do some things that are relaxing to the body and mind. You are young and running in overdrive for too long at your age will make matters much worse for you as you age. Stop it now before its too late and learn to manage stress and your work/life relation.

fufu · 10-06-2006, 03:55 PM

Damn those are some good overheading pressings after all that pushing work!

Double D · 10-06-2006, 04:02 PM

Fufu I felt like I could actually go up after the first set. So much so that I thought I may go up a whole 20 lbs. But I am glad i wisened up because I completely wore myself out after that set. The next 2 sets were suspect, but super strict. I dont bounce my weight or use my legs. Its all shoulders and tris. But yeah I hate doing OH presses after all of that pushing wears me the hell out.

Jodi I will try and slow down. You got any suggestions on relaxation? Because I get none!

**Jodi** · 10-06-2006, 04:08 PM

Aromatherapy, hot baths, sauna's, steam rooms, hot tubs, reading a book, going for a casual walk, stretching, yoga...........Trouble has posted some info on belly breathing that is good too. Just do one thing for yourself everyday and you will feel better. I'm doing that myself and it's going to take time and lots of medication before my adrenals are functioning properly again. I'm lucky it was caught before they failed completely. Don't do what I did and run yourself into the ground.

Double D · 10-06-2006, 04:10 PM

I am going to ask you a personal question but I will just PM you with it.

**Jodi** · 10-06-2006, 04:36 PM

I got your PM but you can ask on the board

I fatigued my adrenal glands.

I overtrained, I over-worked, I didn't eat enough, I stressed too much. Bascially I stressed my body beyond its limits to the point that it turned around and told me to fuck off

wow, that's a crap-load of reps DD! you really took "repetition day" to heart! I would suggest doing those bench presses different next time....just do 1 set of the max reps up to 20, don't do all those sets!

warm up with a couple of light sets, then do 165 for max reps next time, you should get 20 without all that other stuff. Then STOP and move on!....the next week, go for 175 max reps, but I stress only 1 SET!!

otherwise, that's a damn fine repetition day

damn, you're a big dude. I weigh around 215, but I've only got about a 46 inch chest and a 36 inch waist to go along with it. Of course, as long as I keep my chest to waist measurements 10 inches apart, I will be happy, as I have to remember I am 8 years older than you, makes a BIG difference.

I think all your goals are attainable, except the waist part is gonna be the toughest, that will probably HAVE to go up, to get the mass in the other parts. I don't know if a 48 inch chest with a 33 inch waist is possible for a natural trainee. But if you can get up to a 48 inch chest with say a 35-36 inch waist, I think that would be damn fine, you would still look great and in proportion.

Double D · 10-06-2006, 06:10 PM

My waist is kinda big naturally anyways. I told ya I was big I just need the strength to go with the size. Like I have said I have never trained for strength. I figured the waist would easily be the hardest. I hate getting chubby, but sometimes thats something that just has to be. I just cut so badly. I try and do it so fast.

Damn your a big guy! Do you know roughly what your BF % is?
hahaha and I don't know what your talkign about, but I would defintly consider that some good weight your moving around!

Your diet is certainly looking better, don't stress it if you have to have a protein bar here and there. It's not going to kill you or add tons of inches to your waist.
Good luck with the work situation .. like Jodi mentioned .. try try and relax as much as possible. My family owns our own restaurant, and my dad is the main cook. He works every day from 11am - 2am (aside from sundays when we open at 2pm) .. the only days off he gets are thanksgiving, x-mas, and new years, and it's been like this for years. It's certainly noticeable about what the level of work/stress is doing to him .. just be careful.
Do you know roughly what yoiur current macros are like?
You don't got a whole lot of carbs in there .. trying to do a low carb bulk?

I really dont look at myself as being very big. I mean yes I am much bigger than the average guy, but I mean whats that 25% bf and 12 inch arms? With a waist of 40 inches or more? But after all of that said I do appreciate the compliment. I do however feel that after 11 years (was 11 this October) of training my power numbers should be that of which are astounding. And I dont think that a 300+ bench is much to brag about. I want a 400+ bench and I am going to stop at nothing until i see it. I know its an ego thing, but I have been working out much to hard to only be benching 310 or so. You know what I am saying? But I do appreciate the compliment and I would like for you to hang around here as much as you like and read as I try and get to where I need to be.

I really dont know what my macros are. And I was thinking the other day my carbs are considerablly low, but its ok though because it certainly works well for me. I think I am around 4,000 cals a day as of now though.

Double D · 10-07-2006, 11:48 AM

**Jodi** · 10-07-2006, 11:49 AM

Nah, more like 2500 to 3000 cals is my guess.

If you write down your approx. amounts like steak and chicken and how much oil etcc... I can probably give you a quick number.

Double D · 10-07-2006, 11:50 AM

Well you guys are going to absolutly love my first meal choce of the day. I decided to have a cheat meal today and as soon as I woke up I craved it!

**Jodi** · 10-07-2006, 12:11 PM

Meal 1
5 whites and 1 whole egg
1 cup of oats
1 cup of water

540 Cals, 18F, 59C, 37P

Meal 2 (postworkout)
Banana
Lean beef
1 scoop of whey

430 Cals, 8F, 30C, 59P

Meal 3
Chicken breast
broccolli (2 cups)
ounce of alomonds

389 Cals, 18F, 10C, 55P

Meal 4

Apple
Natty PB

494 Cals, 16F, 56C, 34P

Meal 5
1/2lb of beef (real hungry)
Green Beans
Olive oil

435 Cals, 22F, 8C, 50P

Meal 6
Another Detour Bar
Flax seed oil
20 ounces water

460 Cals, 23F, 32C, 30P

Totals: 2748 Cals, 105G Fat, 195G Carbs, 265G Protein

This is of course guessing that the oils were 1Tbls a piece and the proteins were approx. 1/2 pound each.

Personally, I think your protein and fat is perfect but you really need to increase your carbs and not in the form of sugars either. More complex carbs and fruits.
