Heya bud good lookin w/o!!

Yea its tragic but hell its no hiroshima or nuttin like that. These people just get carried away and want more pitty. Look shit happens....everyone down south and in the mid west are use to hurricanes and tornados. They have either got to accept them or move the hell out of the state!

Now I'm no heartless person here....my prayers go out for them. I just don't like the people who are safer then a roach in fort knox and complain that everyone is rude, insensitive, and not trying to help.

Pylon-

How are you liking the HIT program ?? I really liked doing it for a while - especially when I was strapped for time.

I dig HIT, especially for trying to drop BF. It's a great way to get in and out, you know?

I don't know if this alternating thing is really working, but it sure kicks my ass each day!

I think part of it is the American idea that it's only really bad if it happens to us.

Thanks, Shiz. I'll take all the good vibes I can get...

Cardio day...21 min on eliptical. Started at level , went up 2 level each minute (goes to 20), then back down the same way. Time efficent, but still pretty good.

Sounds like a good session my Friend!!!

I'm back on the anti-inflams this morning. My neck is stiff, though not as bad as before. I think I can still lift today and then take it easy over the weekend.

 

[b_reed23]

everything is looking great, Bud!!! I have 1 question though....21 minutes??? why not 20, or 25???

That's just the way it worked out. 1 min at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 19, 17, 15, 13, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1. 21 minutes.

 

[Pylon]

Got in to lift today but the neck was really bothering me. I got in...

10 min w/u - rec bike, lvl 5

BB mil press - wu 65x10, 85x10
BB mil press - 115 x 5 (started to really feel them on my neck on the push. May not have been the best choice of lifts for me...)

Front squat - barx10, 95x10 (really didn't want to but the bar on my neck. At least I was kinda thinking at this point)

Seated lat raise - 20 x 10

Called it quits here. Didn't want to aggrevate it to the point it causes me to miss lifting next week. Finished up with 20 min on the treadmill at 3 mph, 5% incline. Not a great end to the week, but I can live with it. (A month ago I would have skipped alltogether and gone out for one of them 900 calorie burritos...)

Off to visit the parents, will be incommunicato all weekend. On the other hand, will return with wild salmon and halibut, so it's a fair trade.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Be safe.

Try DB presses Brother Pylon, I prefer those way more that BB presses!!! Feels alot better on your neck, and I feel it more in my Delts!!! Your doin Great, just take care of that neck my Friend!!!

 

[King Silverback]

I have 1 question though....21 minutes??? why not 20, or 25???

Because he was slacking!!!

[b_reed23]

not a bad workout ....for a quickie!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FishOrCutBait]

Agreed, I LOVE db work, at least for presses, etc.

 

[King Silverback]

Where you is BRother Pylon? How are things with your company doen in NO?

 

[Rocco32]

Haha

Go to a Chiro or something Pylon, I really think it will help. Looking really good in here.

 

[Pylon]

Thanks everyone.

The neck is still a bit tight, probablky because instead of resting I've been moving furntiture all weekend. Oh well...

Thanks for the suggestion on DB mils. If I switch (and I probably will) I will rework my routines. I only put them on BB in front so I could start with an upper body lift, but still be in the cage for when I squat. I may change both to DB lifts for a while just to change it up and try to move the stress off the neck.

 

[Pylon]

Where you is BRother Pylon? How are things with your company doen in NO?

Last I heard 90% of the people have been contacted, everyone OK so far. The office may be closed for a month or more, so we are in a holding pattern to see what will happen.

 

[Pylon]

No trip to the gym, but got in plenty of work outside. The neck seems to be a little better, but I can't shake that last kink. Popping advils not to try to loosen it up the rest of the way, seems to help.

 

[Pylon]

Feelin a little better, but crunched for time today, so no trip to the gym. I think it might be better to take the week off from lifting anyway, just to be sure the neck is all healed up. Will be hitting the bike tonight (and probably each night this week, as my schedule is packed.) I picked up 2 new games last week (Medevil and Mortal Kombat Trilogy...ok, not all that new) so I will have lots to keep me interested...

 

[Pylon]

30 minutes on the bike, flew by thanks to the new games. (The bad part is I missed a really important item on the first level, and now have to start over. Oh well...)

Hey, whatever gets me on the bike, right?

 

[FishOrCutBait]

Lol, Im a fan of the video games myself, do you like the action ones more, or the RPG style?

I like the old school arcade types mostly, then RPGs, but it has to be the right one for me to enjoy it. 1st person shooters make me dizzy.

 

[Pylon]

Sat in a training class all day, but packed my lunch so I managed to keep everything on track. Will be playing ball tonite, if the boy is asleep when I get back (which I suspect will be the case) I will hit the bike after. That should cover me for the day.

I've been running at abour 1750 cals/day, keeping carbs pretty low (under 100g most days.) Yesterday was higher (@170), today will be low again (at 26g right now, @1300 cals.) I'll eat once more before bed, most likely the FF yogurt/SF jelly combo I've fallen in love with.

 

[soxmuscle]

I'm too lazy to scamper through your journal here, but whats your training outline look like?

 

[DeadBolt]

Thats doesn't seem like many cals brotha!

I remember for my last few weeks of my comp I was takin in like 1600 cals with no carbs except veggies. I think you may need some more cals then that don't ya think?
