Well, its been a great while since i have been in the gym. I would say about 5 months. Ever since i turned 21 i have been drinking rediculous amounts of liquor. Its bad because everywhere i go i dont get charged for the drinks. I just need to change. Not only has drinking been killing me, but smoking. I have been smoking WAY too much and im stopping. i might have to take someone with me on this one but im ready to stop. I have been losin wieght ever since i started drinking. I eat just as much. But i need to fix a LOT of things. IM going to be going to Rutgers U this year and ill be commuting every day. I will probably bring my own food this way i have portion control and i know the cals/intake im getting. I will be workin out at school, and workin out with one of my buddies who is on here. Fyredup is ready for the change and to find that spark thatll set a fyre up under his ass. And he thinks he found it.



Ill be probably workin out three days a week (hopefully) depending on school work. I will be posting on here wen i get the chance. Ill be using 100% ON whey protein (cookies and cream) and probably noxplode. Ill be taking a multi vitamin and vitamin c every morning. Ill try and post my diet on here as well.

Im ready to get goin.


Fyredup is BACK!

Well today is the day after a couple months of being out of it, that I hit up the gym. Ill be going today and thursday of this week...and probably monday/wednesday/friday of next week. I will be taking it easy this week, just using light weight and basic excersizes to get back into it. As each week goes on i will increase the amount of excercises and the weight to a certain point. Ill be doing push/pull/legs. At least for a while, then might shift it to something else. Ill try and post wut i do at school, and ill be eating clean too. Ill post today to let u know wut i did.

Didnt lift today. Too much school work and running around. All i wus gunna do is legs and abs....I can do some abs tonight when i go home. i walk all around campus for most of the day so thatll pass for the legs. next week is gunna be the start of the serious lifting with push/pull/legs. Ill have more next week. Diet has been good for the most part. Drinkin protien and eating salads and healthy sandwiches. drinking a lot of water but a lot less then i need to be. i gotta find a way to get more water in me.

ahem..... walking around campus doesn't constitute a leg workout.... cardio maybe...

We need to see a real one!

I agree, it's hard to get your water in when you're so busy! Look forward to seeing your routine.

fyredup1286

Alright here is what i remember of doing yesterday in the gym. Im not sure of how much weight, cus i wusnt really paying attention and didnt have anything to write them down with so here goes.....

Machine Shoulder Press
45 each arm x 10
90 " " x 2 x 6

Tricep Pressdown w/ rope
45 x 3 x 8

Incline Bench
115 x 2 x 8

Decline Situps
BW x 3 x 20

That wus pretty much it. Towards the end with the Bench i didnt have much strength left cus i did tris first like an idiot. My arms were shakin, it wus bad. Gotta go tomorow hopefully. Either doing pull or legs tomorrow. Ill update later.

(As diet is concerned, ive been eating healthy, with salads with grilled chicken in them...spinach, v 8s [i know all the sodium is bad], plenty of water, and some coffee here and there.)

Triple Threat

Now we've got to see some more of these workouts on a consistent basis.
At least you know you should have done your benching first. Remember to work the larger muscles first.

fyredup1286

yea now it seems like i lost what i knew. i dont know. i guess its just been way too long. i wasnt thinking straight either wen i got to the gym yesterday either, cus i still had about twelve things going on for school work that i needed to do. Hence, the shortness of the workout. but there arent ne excuses needed

Good Workout. Felt a little fatigued at the end. Muscles were nice and swollen. Overall keeping it light to progress and get heavier and put some mass on down the line. Keepin good food in the system...drinkin a lot of water, and instead of takin the bus to the gym ill be walking. Its about a half mile maybe.

PreMier

why dont you do the heavier compound movements first?

are you focusing on pre exhausting the muscle or?

fyredup1286

Actually...even though my muscles were fatigued...i didnt do the exercises in that exact order...i just wrote them down as i thought of what i did. I know it sounds wierd but thats how i do it. I do the compound movements first. Its just that i havent lifted in a while, so my muscles dont have the endurance they used to.
