Far Beyond Driven - Dvlmn666

I know I have to start eating vegetables. this week has sucked on the carb side as well. Working nights lately have kept me from being able to prepare food.

But starting saturday I'll go shopping again and get veggies and potato's.

I know I should use more freeweights, and I actually was when my training partner was out with shoulder problems. But he's been lifting for so long that he basically refuses to do the same routine twice in a row so we switch it up all the time.

But if I move to San Diego I'll be goin it alone and I'll base my routines on the free weights and cable work. I guess sometimes having a gym that has alot of machines can be a detriment I guess.

pineapple?

 

[dvlmn666]

they were out of banana's, what else would you reccomend?

 

[Twin Peak]

I'd limit the bananas too. I'd recommend blending almonds instead. Especially on low carb days. Good fruits for high carbs days include strawberrys, blueberries, apple, and there are probably one or two more that are okay.

 

[dvlmn666]

ok cool thanks, I'll remember that for next week.

Thanks, even when I'm not here if I move to San Diego I'll still update with pix and stats, they just may be posted a little later than that day.

This is the first time I've ever followed a diet outlined by somebody else. That's one of the reason I'm so interesting in keeping track weekly. It'll make it easier to ask questions, as well as to see what others notice about improvements or slacking off.

 

[dvlmn666]

thanks princess, missed ya to. The new place is horrible. No AC, heck we aren't even putting the cubes back together for a while.

I considering quiting after this week's paycheck, and moving to san diego early. And get a head start on finding a job there.

The sooner I can find a computer related job down there the sooner I'll be on at least some during the day. Well that or I've been considering trying to get a job at 24hr Fitness as a trainer, since they don't have to be certified there. (Then while doing that I can work on my ISSA certification I've started studying for) as well as make some contacts.

Whatcha think? Good or bad plan.

3 - 2 servings chicken tenders
4 - 2 cans Tuna Fish with 2 tbs real mayonaise

I hate this moving, missed a meal all because the president is an a$$hole and made me take the servers down at the end of the day and needed them running by morning in the new building, even though we don't even have a fuqin printer there yet.

 

[Twin Peak]

Good day, very clean. On your carb days make sure you are getting in the ruffage!

Ballsy on the job move. Up and leaving w/o a job....damn! If you do it, make sure you've got the bucks in the bank in case it takes you a bit to find one. Can you make enough as a PT w/o the steady book of clients right away? Good idea though. You'll want to get and stay shredded however...you need the look to draw the clientel!

 

[dvlmn666]

from what I learned when I worked graveyard front desk at 24hr, the trainers are paid hourly and scheduled to be on site 8hr/day. That's why I'm thinking about being a trainer for them until I can get certified, and then try to go on my own and get my own clients after that.

But yeah the money in savings is the part I'm working on at the moment, I have a side job designing financial reports that pays really well, and has helped me pay off almost everything, So it all goes to savings now.

The having to up and move is because I can't find a place that's even decent here for under $1000/month. And with my company on shakey ground, entering into any lease at that high of an amount worries me.

Yep salad today, and broccoli tonight. is the plan on the vegies.

Whats a buddy curl?

I think you need more volume for bis. Look at my routine today. Most would say its too much but for once a week and for my bis its just right!

 

[dvlmn666]

Not sure if that's what they are really called, but basically you start at 3 reps and go to 10 and back down to 3. So each set increases by 1 until ten and then back down. The only break you get is the ammount of time it takes your training partner to do his set.

Did that make sense.

And yep I already printed the one from your journal. gonna try that either next week or after I move. So you prefer to do arms all on one day? What kind of split do you do then?

 

[Twin Peak]

Yeah I've done something like that before. I more fun challenge is at the end of a routine you grab a barbell you each can do about 10 for. Then you do 6 and pass it back and forth. You keep going until one of you can get 6. Loser gets a penalty, say an extra 20 reps!

For a while I have done arms together. I like it. My elbow are all warmed up from one to the other.

If you are going to print my workout the least you could do is post in my journal!!!!!!!

Right now my split looks like this:
M Chest and Shoulders
T Back
W Legs

Fr Arms

I am on "summer hours". After labor day my split will be
M Chest
T Back
W Legs

Fr Shoulders
Sat Arms

Over the years I have done about every split you can imagine. I only recommend once a week however IF you can train with the right intensity level. For example, I am usually still sore 4-5 days later!
