Workouts have been improving and i've gained a few pounds which is good. I feel great again.

Winter up here was brutal. However, it is starting to get warm so hopefully this is the last we'll see of winter.

Where are you from again? It's snowing? wow.

By the way, do you have a journal too?

ya, but only with her boyfriend!!!!!!

no, we did our first cycle last year, and that was her choice of names for her new journal.

nice workout, how do you like the one legged rdl's?
i have never tried them.

 

[shiznit2169]

I like them a lot. You have to get used to the form and learn how to balance yourself on one leg as you perform the movement. Once you master that, then you can start increasing the weight.

u played foot ball in the rain and mud, bet that was a good time.
i didnt like football when i had all the gear on, much less without it.
but i was only about 5'5 and 140 lbs.

workouts are looking good. we did squats and deads yesterday also, my form sucked on the last set of deads, do you use wrist straps when you do them?

Ya, i just recently joined a team that needed guys for the intramurals club. I have a game tomorrow so it'll be fun. I played football when i was in middle school all the way up til high school. I miss it.

I have never used straps. I sometimes use chalk when i can but i just do what i can do. Maybe later i'll think about using straps when i start lifting heavier weight.

Horrible, horrible workout. I was tired, dehydrated, weak, dizzy, had lack of nutrition and so forth. I pretty much knew that going in since i was sick the last couple of days. I also lost 5 fucking pounds. I couldn't believe it when i stepped on that scale this morning. I am so tired of busting my ass day in and day out earning each pound i gain only to lose it all in a matter of days if i get sick or miss meals. I hate my ectomorphic, fast-metabolism body because i can't keep my gains without being super strict every fucking day.

Sure i'd rather be skinny with a high metabolism over an obese, endomorphic individual any day but my goal is to get big and i'm having a lot of difficulty doing that.

Because of this, i will treat this week as an unloading week.

 

[Seanp156]

Have you ever thought of eating "dirty?" The last few months, on top of my good food like eggs whites, oatmeal, cottage cheese, chicken, steak, veggies, fruit, protein shakes, etc I also eat crap on top of it such as chipotle, iced cream, cookies, pizza, etc... I don't do that every day, but often 3-4 times a week, and it's helped me gain weight and get stronger, which if fine by me as I'm not looking to be extremely lean right now. I'd like to get to 220-230 than cut back down to 200-210 later.

It might also help if you raise your RI's and lift heavier.

 

[shiznit2169]

Sean,

Believe it or not .. i eat dirty more than i eat clean. I'd say it's about 60-40 in favor of eating dirty such as the foods you mentioned above. It's just the fact that i am very busy with classes and work and will often miss a meal or two per day as well as trying to manage my budget and not spend a shit load on food when i need it for other things that are more important.

I have been maintaining at 185 since the fall but the past weekend due to being sick has caused me to lose 5 pounds. I wasn't able to eat or drink much so my frustration is solely because of that but i am hoping i will quickly regain the 5 pounds sooner or later.

 

[shiznit2169]

Thursday

1) Squat
2) BB Row
3) DB RDL
4) DB Bench
5) Pullover
6) Farmer's Walk

I did 2-3 sets of 6-10 reps for each exercise. Not going to bother list the weights because it's an unload week to let my body recover and rest a little.

No, my school has a trimester system so i don't finish until May 22nd. For the summer, i will be working as an intern in McLean, Virginia so it will be a nice experience.

 

[soxmuscle]

What kind of an internship is it?

 

[shiznit2169]

What kind of an internship is it?

I will be working as a Financial Analyst Research Intern for Booz Allen. Here's the company's website if you're interested, Booz Allen Hamilton: A Global Strategy and Technology Consulting Firm

My school requires 20 weeks of co-operative education in order to graduate. I will be doing 10 weeks this summer, finishing up classes during my 4th year next year and then completing my final co-op next summer. After that, i hope to own the Boston Redsox .. ha, jk.
