    NT's home away while at work ...

    Welcome to my home while at work. As do many of you, I tend to hang around here for most of the day. Popping in and out of journals and threads trying to keep up with the various topics of the day.

    As per NewlyBuff's request, I have started a journal of my own so that she can more easily find me to chat.

    Many of the journals here are kept up to date with the various meals and workout schedules. I'm not nearly that organized. I might give it a try as I do have a goal to put on 15 pounds and drop about 7% bf for next year's Hedo trip. My stats now are:
    5'9"
    166lbs
    13% bf

    Look forward to hearing any recommendations, thoughts or general chit chat.

    Today meals:
    1. protein shake

    2. 7 egg whites
    2 yolks
    1/2 cup oatmeal
    flaxoil capsule

    3. spaghetti and meat sauce (extra lean beef)

    4. extra lean beef and potato
    flaxoil capsule

    5. 8 oz turkey
    brown rice
    1 cup veggies

    6. protein shake

    Workout:
    back -
    pullups
    low cable rows
    bb bentover rows
    trap pulls * can't remember the name for the exercise *

    triceps -
    pushdowns
    close grip bb pushups
    one arm over head extensions.

    Hi NT!
    Glad to see you started a journal. Now we can watch you too.

    Hey, I'm the first post in your new journal. Are you going for a clean bulk or just bulk in general? Good luck on your goals and we'll be watching.

    Maybe if I get the courage to do so, scarecrow and I could join ya in Hedo.

    Moochy ... I'm going for a clean bulk. woo hoo ... once the thought creeps into your mind, it's hard to fight the urge. It would be cool to meet you there ... maybe, just maybe!

    Lina ... no plans right now to compete. I'm a far ways from such an idea at this point. Right now, after our Jamaica trip and seeing the Ebony models roll in and seeing the bodies they had, I decided I wanted to be a bit larger. I'm only looking at maybe 15lbs max. If I make it to that point, I will decide what will be next. Since I have no immediate plans to compete, as long as it takes to put on a clean 15lbs, so be it. I did try once before, but only made it to 170lbs using weight gainer shakes. And my diet was no where near where it should have been. So I'm thinking with a cleaner diet, I should be able to make the 180/85 easy.

    Yeah ... I just read that. Moochy, Scarecrow and the Nt's shaking it up in Jamaica ... what a party that would be. We'll have to see what the near future brings. I'm sure if PB gets his financial situation in order, he's in. As for JBo and hubby, again, that would be quite a party.

    hey all ... I won't be on for a couple of days. I found out I have a painful infection. Should be back to somewhat normal Thursday.

    Thanks for stopping by to say hello ... I can say that I am a little disappointed as I was really starting to ramp up the weights ... now again I have to put it off for at least a week.

    Hey NT, got a journal up now I see. Nice, excellent staging point for the next Hedo trip I think

    You know, I'm not sure if you'd want to be at 6% bf... thats pretty low. I mean, that is really shredded. I'm around 9% right now and thats treating me fine. Jut by eating right, lifting, and doing a tad of cardio now and then you'll loose some of that bf.

    Diet looks good... how much flax do those capsules contain? If you get it in liquid (by the bottle) form, dont forget it needs to stay in the refrigerator. Meals are stacked pretty well... how many carbs does your protein shake have? If in the 20s range, you might want to add something that has a low amount of simple sugars in there. Just because your body is in such a catabolic state when you wake up, dont want that protein to be used for energy. I think thats how it works atleast Then again, I'm not that knowledgeable. Maybe somebody can correct that if its wrong.

    Work - Hows that split working for you? Does that give you better results than working similar groups (ie - chest & triceps, back and biceps, and so on)?

    Anyways, hope you recover soon... and have a good weekend.

    Hey Leslie, Princess and Eggs!

    Leslie, I have an infection that is just about gone.

    Princess, I'm feeling much better. One more consultation with the doc on Wednesday, and I'm hoping I'll be able to hit the gym.

    Eggs, anywhere around that number I'll be happy with. I left the flax at work, I'll tell you how much Monday. The protein shake has 21g of carbs. I was working chest, shoulders and triceps after we came back from Hedo. But recently my wife has wanted to jump into the workout routine and that was too much, so now we're trying this routine. I'll let you know since we just started it. I've heard from both sides saying tri should be worked with chest and those that say you should work bi with chest. As long as I see improvement, I'm all for change.

    Thanks all ...

    I'm so sorry to find out you've been ill... please take care of yourself! I know it's hard to sit still and rest but if you do then it'll be that much sooner before you can get back in the gym!

    Take care!

    hey gang ... work has been busy.

    Thanks Butterfly ... went to the doctor yesterday to get the ok to hit the gym again. It will feel so so good to get back.

    Lina dear ... you bet. Feeling much better! Getting ready to the last vacation of this year - Disneyland. We're taking our daughter so everyone is getting excited although we have a month left. But now both are scouting out the place via the disney website.

    Fitgirl ... what do I do at Hedo. Here is a rundown of what a day would look like for me:
    8:00 wake up and go for walk (waiting for wife to wake up)
    8:30 wake up wife regardless and head for breakfast
    9:00 hit the pool, scrounge up a good floaty device ...
    10:00 start drinking and continue on till everyone leaves.
    6:00pm leave pool to get ready for night.
    8:00pm usually head for dinner
    10:30pm head to piano bar
    11:00pm head to disco and create trouble
    12:00pm head to the waterslide for a naked slide run
    12:05am head back to disco naked raising heck
    continue until either 5:00am or fall flat on face of exhaustion.
    8:00am - repeat.

    during the day, depending on the crowd, there may be some bedroom type activities taking place for all those around to see. Now, it depends for us on whether they (the signal lady, couple, or group) is good looking as to whether it would hold our attention. Lucky for us we hung out with the good looking crew and those type activities were held late in the morning after the disco closed.

    Hedo isn't for everyone. Those whom I suggest not going would be those who have an issue with public displays of affection, or as I call it, a public display of porn!

    Moochy doll ... I'm good thanks! Are you happy to be back at work?
