Hi dvlmn!

How are you doing?



I just got some time for a quick check in before dinner.... and just saw you online so wanted to say 'hi'! Good thing bout dinner is just some leftovers so all I have to do is make pasta... (for the family)..

 

[dvlmn666]

I'm doin alright, just stressin about work, if that's what you want to call it. But might just have my side job left after tomorrow so I can have some free time to work on my resume and stuff for after I move to San Diego the end of October

How have you been?

 

[lina]

been bad lately

Hopefully by next week I'll have my carb cravings under control...lol...I'm enjoying it too much I think

So do you have a job waiting for you in San Diego or do you still have to go look for one?

 

[dvlmn666]

I"m going to have to go look for one when I get there. I do have a side job from here that will let me log onto there network and do some month end stuff for them remotely. So I will have a little money coming in right away

Redid last week's back routine instead of the one with deads because I forgot (and to be honest didn't think jeff would do it) the scheme of that one. But next week I'm planning on doing it. But I think he's not going to agree to it because of the deads.

So might stick with this one until I move. This one is awesome make me sore for 4 days last week.

Cool, but change is the key. Next week try doing it w/o drop sets but decrease the weight and add reps. Or go heavier and work past failure instead of drops with Jeff's assistance.

Or mix up the order. Do 3 sets of dumbbell rows first. Then go to pulldowns, etc.

Change is what keeps the muscles growing....

 

[dvlmn666]

Yep I know, that's why changed the rows to the cable ones instead of t-bar

Chest:

3 Drop sets Flat Dumbell Bench Press
3 Drop Sets Incline Press in Smith Rack

3 sets Bent over Laterals

 

[Twin Peak]

Like the drops now, ehh?

 

[dvlmn666]

lol, actually it was jeff's idea this time. But yeah, I've always done them. They can be adicting since you get to go heavy but still end up getting the reps. Whenever I do low reps I feel like I've been lazy. It's a bad trap for me to get into. I have to work on that.

 

[irontime]

Know what you mean, I've been doing heavy sets and then dropping the weight in half for over a year now. I just love the feel of burning out.

Well it's been 6.5 weeks since I measured last. I've been eating the best I can. and TP's diet was working but all the problems with work and stuff I've backed off because I can't stay as strict as I want to be right now. So I've been doing the carb cycling as close to the plan as possible. Just not as strict about it.

Oct 28th is the day I'm moving my stuff down there. Then I'll be living with friends until I get my job situation figured out and my own place. I already have my gym membership so when I'm not out looking for jobs I'll have plenty of time to hit the gym.

They have some good temp agencies down there that supply new employees to guys like qualcom. So I might just do that and see if I can't get a job with qualcom. Well that or try the PT thing with 24hr Fitness. Since you don't have to be certified to do that, and if the money would be enough for me to be comfortable. I may try for that the first week there so I can get my life in order and some semblence of a routine. So I can be ready to do TP's carb cycling diet, strict for a full 12 weeks starting the beginning of january.

 

[dvlmn666]

I'm working full days during the day and then about 4-5 hrs at night on the side job until I move.

I'm saving everything so when I get down to San Diego I don't freak out over money right away, and panic and take just any job.

So far things are working out. I have everything set up for the move so now I just have to pack an hour or so every night

 

[kuso]

Good luck with it!

I know what it`s like to make a big move without much idea about work etc when you get there...........builds character though

 

[dvlmn666]

lol plus it's someplace I've wanted to live for a long time. And I'm lucky enough to have friends who will let me stay at there place for a while. So if there was ever a good time to move it's now.

And I'm only about 30-40 minutes from the beach down there. So more motivation to get them damn abs I've been in search of. lmao

 

[kuso]

Oh yeah....and lotsa babes in bikini`s to be looking to impress too

Make sure your new place has a guest room

 

[dvlmn666]

well the guest room is gonna double as an office. But that's the plan. I'm looking at a 2 bedroom place for around 800-900

So stop on by we'll give albald, PB, Nikegurl, and whoever else is in So. Cal, as well as anybody else who wants to stop by (P, FG, Butterfly & Fade?) and get together and have one big party.

 

[kuso]

Now THAT sounds like a plan

 

[irontime]

Damn, sounds like fun bro Wish I was up there ah well, one day.
Pics are looking good Definitely more muscle mass and fat loss. Way to go, I'm proud of ya I just talked to the guy in the media room and he said I should be able to rent out the digi-cam on Monday so I should have new ones up then. Rent it That son of a bitch, last year they just let me go ahead and use it. fricken bastard

 

[dvlmn666]

Thanks dude, not sure if you'll owe me a case of beer yet though. And ya know either way it'll be paid after ya get outa school. So we'll have a party down here for ya. Sound good?

 

[irontime]

Sounds Great! Sucks that it is still a ways away, but definitely will be done
