Sounds like a seriously overtraining schedule, you may lose muscle by doing this routine. Those are rediculously large amounts of sets for training those parts once a week, never mind twice. This will burn you out and suck you dry.

**EarWax** · 07-16-2002, 06:24 PM

Thanks for your comments J'Bo. This is just a little experiment of mine for a couple of weeks. Actually, I don't know what it will do, but I'm risking it to see what will happen. So bear with me hehe... I guess I'll just have to learn on my own.

Is where I am drawing info from... but anyway, I just gotta see what my body can handle. Everyone is not the same so it may work or not work for me.

**J'Bo** · 07-16-2002, 06:35 PM

Maybe try this for a week instead of two. You probably wont be able to walk or move after week one anyways. LOL.

**EarWax** · 07-16-2002, 06:41 PM

LOL, yeah J'Bo, I'm pretty good so far... will let you know the details hehe... if I can crawl to my computer.

**J'Bo** · 07-16-2002, 06:41 PM

What kinda diet is this?
Love the powdered donuts though.
We will get along just fine.
LOL

**EarWax** · 07-16-2002, 06:46 PM

powdered doughnuts are great! but lina told me in chat to try oatmeal.... lets see... yummy sugary doughnuts or bland oatmeal... hmm.... it's gonna be a rough switch

**J'Bo** · 07-16-2002, 07:07 PM

Its a rough switch believe me, but its well worth it.

**EarWax** · 07-16-2002, 07:23 PM

Hello Diary again:

Forgot to mention that this is a totally new approach for me:

1. No suppliments such as tribex, creatine, protein powders, etc. I've been doing well with out them so far and my bank account thanks me.

2. More frequent exercise changes (every 2-3 weeks gonna try something different). Whether it's just a few new exercises or frequency changes or something cool I read about.

3. I'm gonna push myself and never get into a rut like last time! Gonna move up in weights and not be comfortable staying the same next week.

**lina** · 07-16-2002, 07:55 PM

Where is the oatmeal buddy?

How goes it? Checking on ya!!! Also eating 5-6 meals a day is betta than 3..

Yeah, I told you to give those donuts to J'bo!!!

**EarWax** · 07-16-2002, 08:34 PM

Hi Lina, yeah, i know 5-6 is better... and trust me i'm am chomping on sunflower seeds and such during the day...*hiding the mini doughnuts*

**Pitboss** · 07-16-2002, 09:02 PM

FYI... last summer I worked out 4 on with no off days as you are doing. Working every body part every 5th day.. I think that's right 4th or 5th. I had better gains, got stronger and always had a ton of energy. However I was a protein hound and had on average 300 to 350 grams a day! If I wasn't taking that much I'm sure I would have minimul gains.

If I had the time I would love to go back to this workout... love hitting the gym daily!!!

**EarWax** · 07-17-2002, 06:27 AM

Cool Pitboss! I figure I'd give it a try as well seeing that I hit an impass on certain exercises. Maybe I should take in some extra protein just in case also.

Nothing like getting up in the wee morning hours and blasting the weights bro. I look forward to it everyday!

**EarWax** · 07-17-2002, 06:31 AM

Hello Diary:

Did my back routine today, tried lifting more weight. Had to stop at 4 reps on an increase on the deads but I did the normal reps for the rest... left hand developed big ole callus on middle finger--dang and I wear gloves!

As long as you allow yourself at least 72 hours rest for each muscle group you shoudl be fine... as long as you are taking in enough calories to fuel your body, enough protein to protect your muscles from eating themself up... this is one of the real reasons protein supplements are a must.. well unless you have more than enough real food sources available to you.

**EarWax** · 07-17-2002, 01:05 PM

Yeah Pitboss, I'm eating more these two weeks, but I need to sleep more. I think the chat last night kept me up too long and now I'm fatiguing!

**J'Bo** · 07-17-2002, 07:12 PM

Yah you chatty fellow.
Mr. Premature stayed up after round two.
LOL.
You in tonight?

**J'Bo** · 07-17-2002, 09:08 PM

Yes you were uo the whole time.
Nice one.

**EarWax** · 07-17-2002, 09:37 PM

... sleepy time for me, I guess I better record the times...

Bedtime: 11:45 pm

**EarWax** · 07-18-2002, 06:19 AM

Chest and Tris day:

Pretty lame workout today, shoulders were not cooperating.

**J'Bo** · 07-18-2002, 06:20 PM

They arent cooperating because you cant feel them.
LOL

**EarWax** · 07-18-2002, 06:23 PM

LOL... nah, I feel them all right, they hurt like...*bleep*
Anyway, I had to go lower weight because my spotter was busy catching up cause he missed yesterday and had to do back.

**J'Bo** · 07-18-2002, 06:28 PM

Coming to chat?
Ill be there in an hour.

**EarWax** · 07-18-2002, 06:32 PM

Yeah, I'll be there!

**EarWax** · 07-19-2002, 06:12 AM

**EarWax** · 07-19-2002, 07:50 AM
