Hello ALL!!! Sorry to have been away for SO long, good news on the Step-Mom situation, she has had 4 stem cell retreivals last week and is scheduled for the first of 2 stem-cell transfusions tomorrow. Looks like all is well with her and even after all she has put my family through, I find myself hoping and praying that all goes well!!! I am just under 20 weeks out from my contest, its the Show-Mes again, July 12th to be exact, and am in high gear for that!!! My best Friend and Weight Lifting partner is also doing it!!! We have been working in 3 week cycles and this week we have dropped some volume (Not alot as those who know me know I am against high volume, LOL) and have started today on an upper/lower split of just a few exercises in hopes to "take it easy" for this 3 week cycle!!! Here she goes:

2-25-08
LOWERS

Squats

135x15 warmup
225x10 warmup
315x6 warmup
375x16 (One all out)

Leg Press
270x15 warmup
540x10 warmup
630x6 warmup
720x13 (One all out)

Seated Calve Raises
90x23 (One all out)

Cybex Abs Machine
185x20 (One all out)

Cybex Back Extensions
185x20 (One all out)

Thats it, really light on volume today, LOL!!! The Squats and Leg Presses where done together as warmups and then each work set from there on out was done immediatly after each working set. Hope all is well w/ALL of you!!! Will go check out your journals now, GOD speed you ALL!!!

My God Archie, some crazy numbers in here for sure. you gotta post a pic of your wheels man, cause seriously at 375 for 16 reps in a squat, they must be HUGE. Actually, I would love to see what you look like now, you know, unless you are keeping it a surprise for after the competition.

Keep it up buddy, your numbers put me to shame

watch out mr. archangel. these women have been relentless when it comes to someone saying that they are gonna post pics. i think they just love us for our bodies, not for who we really are as a person

so where is the comp. that you are going to compete in, at?

impressive workouts by the way.

you really need to stop being so modest and just accept the fact that you're one strong mofo Archie. It's OK, you earned it, why not indulge in a little gloating and praise?
