Determination

[gwcaton]

Yeah I'm back on PRRS I for now. This should be the last week of the cut, I'm almost at 165 again already. I guess I'll keep up with PRRS I for now. Although I like doing singles also so I'll probably throw in some 1 rep sets for fun. I should change up the split and exercises, so I'll have to work on that.

Been way busy at work, should slow down to a normal level now though. Just heard I have to go to Virginia for a few days in Nov, and I have to work from 2pm - 10pm It's always boring on business trips unless I'm in a big city.

[Paynne]

After seeing those toothpick arms in the avi I've decided to definately do that arm-centric workout I did last year.....now if I can just find the darn thing.

Speaking of arms...


Workout: Arms - RR

I'm too lazy to go get my journal to type it in...how pathetic


NO KIDS THIS WEEKEND! They're camping with the boy scouts. PARRRRRRRRTY!

Ohhhh yeahhhhh

Ok here are results from this bulk/mini cut cycle. Nothing exciting but I'll take it.

Chest +1/2"
Bi +3/8 "
Thigh +1"
calf +1/2"
Waist +1"

Actually I changed where I measure the waist, from the belly button area to....well the waist acutally Not sure when I changed that so I'm not sure if that number is correct. Where does everyone else measure?

Started bulking again, also started the arm workout yesterday, which is basically overtraining the arms for 6 weeks and then taking a rest. Gained 1/2" on it last year so we'll see what happens.

Or maybe it's cuz I'm so demoralized that my house hasn't sold and I'm supposed to close on the new house in a month.

Hey where are all the pretty ladies ? J/K

Have you had any offers at all on your house ? So if it doesn't sell before the new one is ready you'll have two house payments ? That would suck !

Hey does the new house have a gym in it ?

Those gains you made in the 4 months.... I would take that every four months !!!! Multiply those numbers times 3 bud . Those are good gains !

 

[Paynne]

We had several buyers. One in particular gave the highest bid and then backed out later after the other bidders had moved on He did that to me not once but TWICE. Less than a month to go now so if the bank lets us do it we'll have two mortgages for a while. If not, then my contract with the builders says I get my deposit back and the house goes on the market

Yeah you're right about the gains. It's better than where everyone else in my age group is heading I compare myself to the ppl here who are just smokin. But over the summer I had what looked to be a 20 yr old obvioulsy following me down the boardwalk and beach while my wife was walking next to me I train for myself but stuff like that certainly doesn't suck (ok no more pix of myself here in case someone recognizes me and tells my wife )

 

[gwcaton]

Damn , TWICE ! Thats sounds like a great option in the contract that you can get your deposit back if need be .


A 20 year old !!! You Dawg !!!!! LOL I won't even go into the stories of what goes on in a small town grocery store

 

[Rocco32]

Bulking now huh? Great, this is a great program to bulk with

 

[Paynne]

I talked with ppl from the bank today and they are going to let us own both houses until the old one gets sold. Yeah it's two mortgage payments but it shouldn't be for long. At least the builder won't sell the new one out from under me now. I figure if we had sold early and rented a place for a few months like my new neighbor did, it would have cost me about the same anyway.


Yeah bulking again. I'm flabbier than I want to be, but I'm only ~167 right now and got a loooong way to go. Everyone at work is finally used to my eating now, they just assume that I'll be eating when they walk in

[JerseyDevil]

^^^ Ditto. Wassup with that? If doing abs causes back pain, then we need to find out why, and address it.

 

[Paynne]

I had hurt my back cuz....cuz I'm OLD. I think it was from jumping up on the porch of the new house before they built the stairs. Pathetic isn't it? Seems ok now.
