Deadbolt's Transformation!

Hey DB!!

You are doing great!! Don't be discouraged. :D Eating clean is HARD! BUT you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was away and eating clean was tough, so much junk and good tasting stuff BUT I only ate chicken, fish and greens, and 1 piece of toast and egg whites for breakfast. :(
OF COURSE I drank rum all day... :thumb: :D

Hey thanks for stopping in, glad to see you back. Yea its not easy at all, especially when you work in a resturaunt that the food is phenominal. Every dish is just amazing and I could have lost it and ate everything. It was so hard to keep my kewl and stay away from it. Glad i did though.

Hey that looks like a good diet to me saphy...nothing wrong with that. The rum was was simply a slow burning carb...in combo with the sun and you being drunk your body can't digest it as fast so you all int he clear :thumb: :laugh:

Hey , you are becoming "Riss Jr." :laugh:

Not that it's a bad thing .
:hmmm: Scary thought...but I kinda like it LOL. Just as long as girls come to me and ask if I want to go up to their rooms I'll take the role. I don't have a wedding ring to say no to...I'm all game :hehe:

CowPimp said:
Haha! Tiramisu is awesome; Riss must be a very powerful presence to detour you from some finger licking.
Oh man I love the stuff..but I can't even say I like it anymore b/c I never got to taste it LOL.

Rissole said:
:evil2: Hahahaha.... Thats great DB. I remember feeling that way when i was on diet with GP... ahhhh i'm turning into a freak, i even remember writing that in my old journal. That is the kind of comittment that will get you to your goal though buddy :thumb: stick at it :thumb:

<------Yes it is my eye :hehe:
At least I'm not the only one LOL...its not easy but Im gonna try my best.

Isn't that avi of when you poped a blood vessel in your eye or something?
 
DeadBolt said:
Whats up bro...glad to see ya around these parts. I think b/c my back isn't strong enough to handle that kind of weight during apull up all other muscles are incorporated. Sorta like when you see a kid benching with to much weight..he uses every msucle in his body to get the weight back up.

I do not use straps anymore. I use to use them for shrugs but no longer. I need my grip strength to increase but direct forearm work never helped so I eliminated straps to try to improve it. My back is at the point that my grip strength is holding it back but I don't like relying on straps.!
I can se your point...but your grip is gonna wear out WAY before your back...does youtr gym have a gravitron machine? I started out on that. I did my sets of 10 and decresed the resistance until I was able to do BW..then like Arnold said..I would do BW until I could get 50 reps out. (my goal was 50 reps or more within 5 sets) THEN..I would add weight. I also swithc up..some weeks, I do added weight..others I just do BW for reps.
My regular pull ups are lacking again..so I am doing the ewighted supp. grip pull ups with my WG pull ups..to bring them back up.
what is your form like? Where do you look, when u are doing the pull up?
Is your back arched? looking up? Squeazing the blades together as you come up?

Hmm lets see here...
Yes I do have an assisted pullup/dip machine. I used it today LOL. My form is I grap the bar and try to pull myself ussually ending in my dropping with shoulder pain LOL. I ussuall look up at my hands and my back is arched I think. I sorta pinch my traps together and squeeze upwards trying to pull my weight up.

Today I did pullups with the assisted and they felt great. I had just enough help to get my weight up but not enough to do the work for me. I attempted to use less resistence and I got pain right away as I struggled to much...so I figured I was just overloading the muscle with to much weight causing pain. i will continue to do these every back day from now on to see if I can correct myself enough.
 
1-17-05 Chest/Back

Well today was another long day...I managed to get to the gym for an hour. I have been going nuts all day running around. Tomorrow will be the same...an old fireman passed away sunday so tomorrow is the wake and wen the funeral. Its pretty hectic around there now.

Today I was suppose to do shock but instead me and my cousin partnered up with an old mentor/guru of ours. The guy is just an animal and when we have a chance to we lift with him.

Chest:
Flat Bench
2 sets @ 135x10
135x8
155x4--felt stronger then I actually was...couldn't handle it...damn shoulder
135x7

Incline bench
3 sets @ 115x6
2 sets @ 95x10

Flat DB Fly
35'sx6
3 sets @ 30'sx9

Dips
asst#9x10
3 sets @ #8x10

Back:
Pullups
2 sets @ asst#9x10
asst#9x7
asst#10x10

Pulldowns
105x10
120x10
135x8
135x8

B/O Row
4 sets @ 95x10

CG Cable Row
#8x10
#9x10
#10x10
#10x10
**not sure of the weights but the 10 is close to the 130-150 range.

Now even though it wasn't my traditional shock w/o it def was a shock lol. I am not use to doing that kind of volume but it was so much fun lifting with him. We hustled through this w/o...took us just shy of an hour to do all that. We were kickin ass heh.

Pullups felt good with the assitance. Bench was doing good until I went heavy...shoulder isn't ready for that. I'm staying at like 135 until I can hit 15 reps then I'll add some weight maybe. After the bench my chest was shot...I had no energy to do the incline or fly's then when he said we were doing dips I almost shit my britches lol. He does 4 exercises @ 10 reps each set. For bench he would pyramid but I didn't...not with my shoulder and all. Overall it was a good w/o...not my favorit to do but I could handle it. I'd like to partner up with him for a few months and see if I could handle it. I think it would be fun.

Diet was decent today:
M1-5oz Chicken, mixed Veggies, 1 cup skim milk, 1 slice multi grain bread
M2-2 scoops whey, 1 tbl flax
--worokout--
M3-2 scoops whey, 1 cup dry oats
M4-10oz chicken, mixed veggies, 20 almonds(half handful)
M5-Undecided--probably pro complex shake w/ natty pb
 
Well today no gym! :(

I have to much stuff to do...gotta go for a job interview (doesn't look promising), gotta do a shit load for the firehouse before the wake then gotta go to the wake later on tonight. I'll make up for it friday.

Didn't sleep at all last night...I was up ever 30 minutes for some reason. I feel like a walking zombie...something just wasn't right last night. I'll try to hit the sack early tonight.

Well off to do my stuff...I'll post my diet later on.
 
Today's diet is a little messed up b/c I've been working at the firehouse and had no time to prep meals...here is what I managed on the run.

M1:3 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 2 whole grain slice bread, 1 cup skim milk
M2:8oz chicken, w/ large salad no dressing, 1 tbl natty pb
M3:1 can tuna, 1 tbl light miracle whip(2g fat), mixed veggies, 5 almonds
M4:to come:1/2 tri-o-plex
wake from 7-9pm
M5:to come:1/2 tri-o-plex
M6:.........?

I've been busy all day but managed a decent diet so far w/ meals 1-3. The hours I ate so far @ 10:30am, 1:30pm, 4:30pm, meal 4 will be at 6:50 and meal 5 will be at 9:10. I will be at the funeral home doing work so I can't have an entire meal but I figured the half of tri-o-plex is better then nothing. My officers wont let me take a shake with me so I will be sneaking these 2 meals without them knowing.

I'll probably be doing honor guard the entire time so I wont be moving for about 45-60 minutes. Just standing next to the coffin...no blinking or breathing to heavy so eating a meal is out of the question!

Today I didn't have a chance to w/o but thank god...my back is soooo sore! Those b/o rows at 90 degrees really sent my back for a whirl. I'm leaving legs for either tomorrow or even later on in the week.
 
Damn that's a good w/o Dead! I bet that was tiring as hell LOL!

Thanks man....the weight is coming down but so are my lifts slightly. Can't wait to start my bulk again...march 7th is coming even faster then march 6th LOL. I'm dying to eat more food!!

O hell yea panty hose work wonders LOL. A few of my guys did that and I've done it when I went hunting. I just don't have regular access to them heh! Thanks for the tip though.

Nice workout DB !

Psst...your a freak!!!! LOL

I unfortunatly have gone to a level where I do not have enough energy to really increase my strength lol. I am not really looking for strength right now though...simply using my workouts as an intense cardio...so there are very little rest intervals between sets. I feel this is why I have lost strength...my muscles are not trained for endurance. I expected my lifts to go down so I am not to worried....the lack of carbs really kills my lifts. I'll do fine on one set but then the next I have half the energy.

Yea I try heh...I only take maybe 30 seconds rest between sets. I keep em movin fast! Once the comp is over and my bulk starts I'll go back to a standard p/rr/s routine with PLENTY of cals to go around heh. I think my strength will do just fine then.

G'afternoon now I guess.

Had my first day of the semester today. Exercise science was today's only class. Its gonne be a weird class....teachers an odd ball! But it should be fun.

Today was a decent w/o.

AM 15 minutes HIIT on empty stomach...was running late not use to getting up this early lol.

Shoulders:
10 minutes HIIT while waiting for partner.

DB Shrugs

3 x 65'sx12
***I was experimenting here...instead of shruging straight up I was tryng to shrug back more to build the read/lower trap region rather then the top peak.

Overall really good w/o...felt the "burn" LOL. My heart was really pumping the whole time which I wanted...really did the job good. The supersets were an extra added bonus I through in just for fun....I really love those LOL.

Diet thus far:

M1: (post cardo) 1 egg, 5 whites, 1 pear
M2:2 scoops pro complex, 1 tbl flax
M3:2 scoops whey, 1 cup dry oats
M4:4oz octopus(oil drained), 1 cucumber, 1 cup skim milk,
M5:9oz chicken, 1 cucumber, 1 tbl natty pb
M6:5 oz chicken, 1 tbl natty pb

Off to run a million erands before my firehouse metting. Need to buy some food. I have also decided to shy away from the cottage cheese before bed...I really don't like those extra carbs even though not to bad so late I'd rather not have it. I will stick to some chicken breats w/ a bunch of veggies or a shake w/ some efa's.

Man today is such a long day LOL...been runnin around all day. Got to the firehouse for a meeting to find out I was chosen for a committee about the fight I was in a few weeks ago. We were there for hours sorting shit out. I almost was late for my last meal but left just in a nick of time to chow down.

I wasn't really hungry...barely got the 5oz's down. No mood to eat...have a massive headache, and my body is itchy ALL over the place from tanning. I increased the time so I have to adjust...I must say though I am getting darker.

Off to lay down...plan on getting some early AM cardio then going back later on for bi's/tri's. Hope I can wake up.
 
1-21-05 Bi's/Tri's/Abs/Calves

Today was a good day...been doing really good with diet and training. Very happy!

M3:2 scoops whey, 1 cup dry oats
M4:6oz chicken, 1 cup skim milk, 1 cucumber, 1 tomato, 1 large salad(w/ vinegar), 2 tbl natty PB.

Max 30 seconds rest in between sets! Gotta keep the heart pumping!

I tried to follow the rep range week or p/rr/s...6-8/8-10/10-15. I think I accomplished my goal...somewhat. I will aim for better weights and rep ranges from now on. Overall really solid w/o...veins are really showing now. Got em going from the shoulder clear down to my wrist. Little ones in my shoulders are coming out as well. I am enjoying the look LOL.

Calves and abs were an experiment today. I superseted them all the entire time. Here is what it looked like: (I don't know the names of calf work sorry)

standing calf raise
kneeling cable crunch
standing calf raise
crunch on bench with legs upright
standing calf raise
kneeling cable crunch
standing calf raise

Break

sitting calf raise
kneeling cable crunch
sitting calf raise
crunch on bench with legs upright
gliding machine (bout 45 egrees maybe?) sled moves up and down as you push on your toes
kneeling cable crunch
gliding machine
crunch on bench with legs upright

Those were all doneback to back...0 rest in between. Really had the heart rate going and sweating up a storm. I enjoyed it. I did so many b/c I had so much energy it was insane. I finished my bi/tri workout in like 20-30 minutes so I still had a ton of energy left over.

If I don't end up doing anything tonight I may go back to the gym for some more cardio but I'm not sure...if so it will be low intensity. Thats if none of my friends make plans. So odds are I might be LOL.

Hey thanks for stoppin in bud! I don't know if its lowering my BF% or the tanning but I can see alot more now. Either way I like it.

Yea those damn veins....everyone hates them but people who know what they do LOL. People I talk to look at my forearms, hands, and arms and are like eww why do those things show like that.

Keep at your diet and those veins will be back in no time...they are a skin layer away man.
