EarWax's Diary of Truth, Justice, and the American Way

[EarWax]

Today, I did a lot of stuff at work and am wiped out. Bed might be coming early today.

Lift well! But don't forget to put it down afterwards.

 

[EarWax]

I'm a bit tired today! Arm day, but I'm holding over to Saturday because I'm feeling a bit under the weather.

------------------

I decided I'm overtraining a bit so I took a few days off and skipped the arm session this week. It's weird cause it was like I was a bit sick and very fatigued 3 days in a row. Tomorrow, I hope I feel a bit better.

I did some pushups and some light bicep curls at home today so I wouldn't feel that bad. Nothing grueling. Tomorrow is back day and back to business.

[EarWax]

Felt pretty darn good today after a little rest. I did my back routine and wow it was a good day. You know... like the song... "Today I didn't have to use my AK.... today was a good day!" Calouses have developed on my hands but doing the one-arm bent over rows was kind of painful. I guess I should stop picking them.

[EarWax]

Ate clean and ate just a little bit more today than usual to jump start my metabolism after heavy restricting for two weeks.

I decided to change my schedule and see how it works.

Tuesday -- Chest/Shoulders
Thursday -- Legs
Saturday -- Arms
Sunday -- Back/Abs

Still taking the Tribex. No special effects.

Didn't watch the Oscars but saw the results in the newspaper this morning. OK, I like Julia Roberts cause she's from Atlanta (Smyrna), but the Gladiator really wasn't all that special of a movie. Actually, it's been a while since I've seen a movie that really moved me come to think of it.

Congrats on the weight lose EarWax. I read your post in the women only section. 20lbs. in 2.5 months !That's awesome. Just think, by the time memeorial day picture posting arrives your going to be the bomb!

 

[EarWax]

I hope so karategirl. I also have a bet with my brother (kinda like another incentive) for $100 that I can't get down to 155 by the end of May. It's going to be close! Though at the time I wasn't considering any gains in muscle mass.

Yesterday: Leg day
Leg Press 6-8x4
Squat 6-8x4
Leg Curl 6-8x4
Seated Calf Raise 20x2 15x2
Weight: 175 (Goal 155 by end of May)
I have slacked on my water intake... watch out kidneys here comes 6 liters today!

I really am beginning to hate the ads. Lose weight without Diet!?--Xenical What the crap are we promoting on this site?

Non-weight-lifting related material picked up lately so things are going to get hectic. Today is rest day (from weights that is). My metabolism must be increasing cause I'm hungry hungry hippo all the time now.

An Ode to Food

Food areth thou?
Thouest not!
For thou areth thou,

Jelly!

[karategirl]

Where are you? How's it going? I miss ya!

------------------
KICK BUTT! TAKE NAMES!

 

[daisy74]

Hey Earwax!

I was just wondering the same thing. Where are you? We miss you, please come back.

 

[EarWax]

I am alive, but crawling around doing everything for people. I miss you guys too! I've been working weekends and everything. I'm exhausted.

I promise I'll be back in full form (hopefully minus fat) as soon as things die down. A good thing is that my research is picking up. Bad things are maintenance for the students--they keep breaking lab equipment and guess who gets to fix it! My poor robots. "She cann'nott handle the straainn captain... she's gonna blow!!!" The semester is winding down, so that's why things are so hectic!

I've been taking my creatine and tribex and man I'm pumped. I've also cheated a little bit and ate some chips ahoy cookies yesterday. Stress eating! Arrrghh.. but my weight is now 173. Go figure.

Talk to you friends soon! How are you people doing?

------------------

[daisy74]

Hey Earwax!

I am doing pretty good. I have been cheating like crazy lately and I am still loosing weight. I am down to 133. Hope you come back soon.

 

[karategirl]

Hi Earwax, since I decided to do that comp. on April 22( 3 weeks out)I've been busy preparing for that. Haven't had a cheat day in a long time...I could sure use a chips ahoy right now

Things are going great I'm down to 117, 11% body fat and just totally ripped and ready to take over the stage, he,he.

------------------
Kick Butt! Take Names! and SMILE!

 

[EarWax]

Great to hear Daisy! Keep up the good work on losing weight. 133 seems pretty low already to me heh

Heh Karategirl... congratz on your first competition. I think you deserve at least one chips ahoy. 117? Golly!

Hmmm as for me... 173 lbs... lost 2 inches from my waist (34") ... and gained some muscle on my arms... 12" forearms (from 11") and 16" biceps (from 15.5"). Yay..me... Yay..me... Yayyyyyyy me.. Now only if I could kick those darn silly undergrads from using my squat rack. heh

------------------

[Ginni]

Keep up the good work WaX!!

[EarWax]

Thanks Ginni, just finished that lab of students. Man, it was like I had to hold their hands through it all. I feel a little relieved now that it is all over with that. Can't wait to see my brother pretty soon in May. He'll be surprised at my progress.

Karategirl, yep, doing pretty good for a moldy piece of Earwax.

Today was a rest day, tomorrow, back to the Large and in Charge chest building routine of doom.

Ahhhhhhhhhh poor EarWax, but you don't want to be "a moldy piece of Earwax" forever do ya? lol

[EarWax]

Well Large, no one wants to be a moldy piece of EarWax forever. Actually, I can spray some Lysol on myself to get rid of that heh.

Anyway, today sucked. My manufacturing computer went down and I have to reinstall everything. Talk about a job and a half. Oh well, guess I could think about it in a optimistic light; at least I can go to the gym while it's reformatting the large harddrive.

ARRRGGHHH!

[EarWax]

Well, did my Leg Workout yesterday and Back Workout today at noon. Replinished my supply of ZMA and took a long sleep from Sat-Sun. I needed it!

[EarWax]

Did my back workout today. Went up in lifting poundage on the back extensions, machine rows. Everything else was just as usual. Sweated like a mad dog with rabies who just last week did not have rabies. Deadlifts are my favorite because it's makes me feel special in my gym.

------------------

[EarWax]

Arm day today. Veins are starting to become bigger and bigger each week. Must be the shoes (or the forearm extensors and flexors)

A friend said my legs look really strong today. That felt good that someone said something. Again, it must be the shoes (or the squats).

Most people don't say anything. I know the change in me is obvious, oh well, perhaps I need to do more work. Maybe, I'm invisible. Or maybe it's the shoes.

[karategirl]

Hey EarWax, Where did you get those shoes?
