"Goals: I don't have any. I can't decide where I'm going until I know where I'm at. I figure I should know after a couple of weeks."

Any more thoughts on this? That was taken from your first post.

Keep up the good progress.

Thanks Decker!

It's kind of hard not to eat it when it's right in your face. This advice also applies to vaginas as well as foods.

Yeppers, I have a goal: 220 lbs at approximately 10% BF.

I also want to bench my body weight (50 - 70 lbs. to go) and Squat 330 lbs (1.5 times my body weight).

I still need to get my BF read though.

You and I are the same weight now. How tall are you ,and how are you checking your BF%? I have not the slightest clue what mine is, because I have never had it checked.
Nice job on the diet.

I'm 5'10". I haven't had my BF checked in many moons. I figure I'll just drop by Gold's and have it checked there.

Doing my crazy ass workout helped to, but yeah, I've haven't eaten this clean in a long time. That ended last Sunday. I made, and ate, breaded Parmesan chicken, four cheese rotini with fettucini sauce, French bread (store bought) with homemade herb butter (I'll post the recipe), cinnamon French twists with icing. I've found that my hobby of cooking is clashing with my weight training.

Herb Butter:

Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 tsp. chives
1/2 tsp. marjoram
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. salt
pinch of white pepper

Soften the butter stick in a bowl with a fork. Mix in all the other ingredients with the fork. Place in plastic wrap and refrigerate until solid.

Okay, it's been almost three weeks since I last worked out. I decided to go cold turkey and do nothing BB related...or cardio related for that matter. I've spent a lot of my time cooking a number of dishes. By "cooking" I mean ruined. By "dishes" I mean something that would make a billy goat puke.

This week I'm going low weight, high rep. Damn, I wasn't ready for the crazy pump. Not only have I been out of it for weeks, but I'm used to high weights, low reps.

Ouch.

If it wasn't for the pumps, this workout wouldn't have felt like much. But the point is just to warm up and get a feel for how my shoulder reacts. I'm only going to workout four days this week. Next week I'll do four days again, but with high weight and low reps. If all goes well, it's back to the 4 or 5 days a week, twice a day.

I also did my entire workout in one session instead of two. This is fine because I only did 3 sets with and RI of 1.

T-Bar Row (RI 1, 1/x/1/x)

No, not this one, but if I wasn't testing the waters, I'd have more sets and more exercises. Enough to split into two workouts.

Malley · 10-02-2006, 07:02 PM

Aw I see. I was going to say if you split that into 2 you wouldnt be doing much. I gotcha now.

It's taking all my self control not to add more.

Malley · 10-02-2006, 07:11 PM

Haha. Yeah I know a pretty ridiculous move, but it was like 8 years ago or so. Not one of my best ideals. But hey I lived through it. I think the words are live and learn.

DOMS · 10-04-2006, 05:44 PM

Testing the waters, day 2.

Today was my first shoulder day since the lay off. It seemed to go well. I thought I felt something in my shoulder, but it was probably just the normal pain of working out, but hey, I have a reason to be paranoid.

I can't wait until next week when I'll hit it heavy!

Your shoulder routine looks like pre-exhaustion techniques huh?

Yeah. I started that because I felt a twing in my shoulder. So I decided to increase the intensity without increasing the weight. The funny thing is that it really seems to work for me. So even if it turns out that my shoulder is 100% I'm going to keep with this for a while.

Malley · 10-04-2006, 05:50 PM

I do believe Wieder principals.....

I never got to much out of that personally. Didnt like goin to my bigger lifts and lifting less than normal, maybe an ego thing, but it just kinda sucked. However glad you are not as proud as me.

I only vaguely know what those are. I find it hard to believe that Weider came up with pre-exhausting.

I'm vain, not proud.

Malley · 10-04-2006, 05:58 PM

You maybe right he may not have. I may have only read it in Ironman mag or something. Oh well it has been around a while.

DOMS · 10-04-2006, 06:55 PM

I'm in a damn fine mood. I just won these knives from eBay for $65.00, including shipping. The lowest I could find them retail was $100 (and the highest was $200).

Malley · 10-04-2006, 07:01 PM

Nice, I never have that kinda luck.

KelJu · 10-04-2006, 07:48 PM

Wow, those are great looking knives. What is the brand name? The look like something that would go in a metrosexual's apartment.

The brand is Henckels. They're one of the premier brands in knives. The set that I got was on the low end. A really good set will go from $1000 - $1500. But even the low-end Henckels knife is better than most other other brands best knives.

Really? You think that a metrosexual would like them? This is good then, I bought them for a metrosexual.

Say...does the tang run through the handle? That sounds like a question for AnnaDTX.

I thought the handles smelled funny.

But yes, I believe that they do.
