Well, I couldn't help myself. I hurt my right knee last week and haven't lifted since. Just so happens my gym membership expires tommorrow. So I figured it was perfect time to switch gyms, take the week off and that's it. Well I didn't count on the new gym having so many hotties, so I signed up, went right home, changed, and went right back to the gym.

My nutrition has been horrible over the last few weeks. I've only been eating 3 meals a day, total crap, and I have had some drinks a few times. The T&A at the new gym is just what I needed to get back into gear. I could really feel the poor diet in my lifts. I felt super weak. Oh well, new gym new goals.

Time to drop some weight. I'm at a new "notch" right now. For a long while I was 215-220 constantly. That dropped to 210-215 for a while, and now I'm in the 205-210 range. Time to get to that elusive 199. Cardio will be added (should have done some today), and as soon as the knees are back up to par I will be doing an upper/lower mon/tues, thur/fri, with cardio on mon, wed and fri. Had a hard time over the last few months being consistant with everything that's been going on in my personal life, now it's time to fuck some shit up. YOU CAN'T SEE CALIFORNIA WITHOUT MARLON BRANDO'S EYES!!!!! GET PUMPED FUCKER!!!

Yeah, I'm not completely worried about it. I'm losing weight, and that's my goal right now. I just have to keep my head on straight and remember that goal. Good thing is I started off well today, eggs and oats for breakfast, had some tuna on whole wheat for meal 2, next meal is some chicken and brown rice etc, etc...

AKIRA · 09-12-2006, 11:12 AM

5 eggs and 3 slices of whole wheat toast here....with 2-3 cups of 1% milk. Kinda a norm for me....actually no, a norm for me would be a protein shake w/milk and a slice of whole wheat bread.

Yum.

Well recently I've come to the realization that lifting heavy will have to be on the back burner for a while. Knees hurt, body aches, and progress has come to a hault. My diet has been total shit for the last few weeks, so this is no suprise. So, back on the diet bandwagon and time to make some new short term goals to keep me in it for a while.

- 3x12 WG Pullups @ BW
Can only do 8,7,6 now.
- cut to under 200 lbs.
206.5 lbs. after a weekend of drinking.
- stop eating like shit
I actually controlled myself fairly well this weekend.

Those are very attainable goals. Progress began yesterday.

Today was a pretty decent day. It was the first day in a long time I worked out basically supplement free. No CEE, no NO-Explode, no fat burners, just good ole fashioned mulit-vitamin and whey. Felt pretty damn good actually but, I still threw up afterwards, and I can't figure out why. At least I'm getting work in and moving towards my new goals.

**Gazhole** · 09-19-2006, 11:39 AM

Good going dude!

It takes a lot to realise youre going nowhere and need to re-assess what you need to do, so kudos for swallowing your ego!

Possibly throwing up due to bad diet and drinking combined with heavy lifting? The three arent the best combo in the world

Yeah, I guess so hah. I have to say though, I wasn't light headed at all like I have been for the past few weeks. It must have been the drinking on sunday. The Eagles lost in a heartbreaker which in turn caused me to drink a few pitchers! Oh well, feels good to be back on track!

Haha! We all get relapses :P. And whats a few pitchers to solid muscle, eh? You'll burn that off in no time.

Good luck with it all, as usual im sure youll smash your goals to pieces

I guess that makes for a happy day! Your reps are high...are your RIs low? Getting sick isnt exactly what you want to be doing after working out. I mean, not "every so often." I used to get sick at school after running a mile.

Full stack of the pushdowns? Which machine did you use? I know there either or even TWO that I can rack, but theres one actually has accurate weight readings. Also, doing a pushdown backwards usually increases the intensity.

I am going to ask the doc if I can do upper body again, but I know what hes going to say. He doesnt want me to load my spine and I dont really want to do upper, horizontal movements and thats it. It would be back in high school. But well see what he says...shit, even if he oks me going to the gym to bench, I might just have to go to relax my head.

Very short RI's. The whole WO took less than 40 minutes.

Tootsie's brother (Trevor?) did some dips with me. He asked me why I didn't have a partner and I said cuz I like to workout, not chit chat. In the time he did 3 sets of dips with me I did Pullups, Dips, and started on my DB rows.

Oh and the guy that recommended the "hook grip" put up 405 for 7 reps yesterday on flat bench.

AKIRA · 09-19-2006, 02:43 PM

405?! Motherfucker. I remember Jason the marine doing 405 on the flat bench at Waterfront Fitness years ago. He wasnt that much bigger than me, so I thought it would be possible. Then we became friends and told me he was juicing at the time. But...he was only about 20-30lbs heavier than me. Certainly didnt look like that much. Then again, that was years ago, so who knows...

Trevor is a gym joke. Want to get a real fucking laugh? Have him bench with you. That asshole wont keep up with you, but hell see you in 2 weeks and tell you he did some heavy weight when you werent there.

That jerkoff couldnt rep 275 on incline with me one day, even though he said he can lift 315 on flat for reps. Reps?! 275 is heavy on the incline, but he was struggling like he was MAXING. The next week or so, I got a TEXT from him saying he lifted 360 on flat bench. What a crock of shit.

If thats not funny enough, ask him to do deadlifts... Hopefully tootsie will be there to see. And with luck, maybe hell have a lolly pop in his talons.

Yeah, I've seen him there twice and both times he was by on the machines doing a ridiculously small amount of weight, considering he's 6'3" 230+ and looks like he's been training for years. WTF?

Today was a test run so to speak. This is the first time I've done legs in weeks, since I hurt my knee. I tried something a little different because I'm a little nervous about going heavy. I decided to do leg extensions first to pre fatigue my quads before I did any pressing. I defintely got a good burn, and I guess anything is better than nothing. No pain so to speak in my knees today until I tried to walk around after calf raises. I'll skip them next time, my knee is still a little tender when working close to lockout. Otherwise a pretty good day. Good diet today, and there is a hottie that is a customer of mine that works out at my new gym, so that's an added extra.

I figure I'll do this upper/lower split for the next few months and try to ease my way back into a full body routine with some heavier lifting then. Starting to see the light of 199 lbs. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Pretty decent day today considering I wasn't gonna go at all. The day before I worked for 17 hours and only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep because of it. I was on my feet all day which caused my legs to be basically worthless all day. Anyway, glad I got the work in. That's all...

Good going though, after all that you still got a damned decent workout in.

You going to workout with my on Sunday? I was going to bench, hammer strength rows (i cant bend over) and whatever else. I am not sure what I can do until I try some movements out to see if I pinch anything.

Oh yeah, Morgan said you have plans for sat night, so no UFC? I am going to be working late, but if theres a group at duffys to watch Hughes hopefully get his ass kicked, ill show up, but Morgan wont reserve anything unless hes with people.
