Devil Obsession!!

Yes, this is my 10,000th journal at IM.

But I'm going to just stick it out with this journal because no matter how many times I switch programs I always keep the samn goddamn split.

I'm not going to put any kind of stress right now on exactly what my workouts are going to look like, all I'm going to say is that they're going to be sporadic. I PM'ed SF and hopefully he'll regularly give me something new to work with. Right now they've just been 5x5 and various other exercises, etc.

Anyway, feel free to post comments/suggestions/support etc.

Awww!!! Yeah I'm trying to get on your program spending 10% of the time in the gym and 90% of the time laying out at the pool, that will probably do the trick nicely, lol.

Monday; 8-21-2006


Upper Body (55 minutes, 26 sets)

Decline Bench Presses
135x3
185x3
225x3
245x2
275x2
295x2
315x1
325x1
335x1
345x1

Seated DB Presses
6 sets of 4 with the 80's

Tate Presses
5 sets of 5 with the 55's

Machine Lateral Raises
3 sets of 10 with 110

One-Arm DB Extensions
2 sets of 12 with a 30

Cardio
10 minutes of incline walking on the treadmill, 3.4 MPH at an 8% incline.


Diet-

Preworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein + 1 cup of skim milk + 1/2 cup of oatmeal
Postworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein + 1 cup of skim milk, 1 packet of oatmeal
Meal 1: 1% cottage cheese + non-fat yogurt
Meal 2: 2 chicken breasts + whole-wheat pasta, olive oil, vegetables, 2 glasses of wine
Meal 3: 12 tbsp. peanut butter
Meal 4: 2 scoops of whey protein + 1.5 cups of skim milk

Total Calories: 4,001
Total (g) Protein: 310g
Total (g) Carbs: 251g
Total (g) Fat: 172g

Way too high in calories today, too high in carbs, etc. Whatever, at least I didn't pig out I guess. Lately when I've been smoking up I've been dying to go on an all out binge, I'm not sure why. Its just been the past week or two that I've had a hard time sticking to eating clean. Hopefully my girlfriend will keep me in line, though. Although I don't know if I'll have enough energy to workout today after the marathon she put me through last night.


Sleep- 7 hours.

Weight- 211 lbs. Not too bad, way too high for me I'd rather be closer to 200 lbs. but whatever. Pigged the fuck out last night on pretty much everything I could get my hands on. Ate 2 things of Ben & Jerry's, a huge bowl of Corn Pops, tons of cookies, tons of waffles with maple syrup, etc. Woke up in the middle of the night and almost puked.

True Story, today this dude brought his girlfriend into the weightroom, and they kissed after every set. She giggled and stared at everyone else in the weightroom.

Thanks for stopping by, yeah my girlfriend is going to keep me on the diet this time around. I'm going to try and stay as clean as possible with a small cheat meal here and there.

Small Bunny
Aww!!! I'm so happy seeing your name on here, lol, its so cute... Anyway, yeah that meal was amazing! I was so impressed you definitely have become the master cook. I had a good workout today since you were there to stare at the entire time.

shiznit
Hah, as a matter of fact she made some amazing chicken with bleu cheese on it tonight.

BigDyl
Well I can assure you my girlfriend works out while she's at the gym with me she doesn't giggle and stare, lol.

Great Plan! You have a good girl that will help keep you on track. Hold on to her!

You know what they say: "behind every man is....(no not probable cause) , a woman rollin' her eyes"

Seriously, behind every man is a good woman.

Thanks man, appreciate it. I did the workout but I modified it a bit because I threw in some back exercises, since I'm going to do my rows and my pulldowns on my lower body day, from now on. Anyway, when you get a chance could you throw up an upper body workout, and a lower body workout for my next 2 sessions? Thanks again.

Fitgirl
Hah, yeah I'm definitely going to hold onto her, no worries.

Awww, lol. Yeah it must be all of that damn cardio we did! Because there's no way I could eat 4K calories and drop a pound.. Anyway, I am going to take a rest day today and do some cardio, thats about it. I'm gonna' be so lonely at the Y without you!

fUnc
Thanks man, appreciate it.

SF
Thanks man, did you mean to put the dips on the upper body day? Because the only upper body work that I wanted to do on lower body days was biceps and lats/rows.

Yeah, obviously water weight, that wasn't even a question. But no matter what eating 4K calories I normally gain water weight, never lose it. I've never eaten over 3.5K calories and dropped weight the next day. And sometimes my diet is pretty shitty but lately it hasn't been too bad. Just trying to focus on my total calorie intake, and keeping it under 3K cals.
