Awesome idea.

And I will post in your journal I haven't been here that long yet. I just saw it so cut and pasted it to a word doc real quick.

oh another quick question. Do you do quads,hamstrings and calves all on the same day or do you throw the calves in on another day?

 

[Twin Peak]

Usually all the same day but if I run out of time/energy, I'll do calves first at my next workout.

Just kidding about the post thing!

 

[dvlmn666]

Cool, since I'll be starting training alone after I move to San Diego I'll probably be asking you more questions. And be able to try out more of your reccomendations.

So far I really like this diet. Days after my no carb days I don't feel like I'm lacking very much in energy like I expected to.

So are so good. I'm sticking with it.

 

[Twin Peak]

Cool. Lost any weight/inches yet? Yeah, I never have energy issues either. When I start my mass routine, I will still cycle carbs just a higher amount and especially more good fats.

 

[dvlmn666]

I've lost about 6lbs so far, but not inches. New measurements again on sunday though. Jeans are feeling loser this week.

 

[Twin Peak]

Excellent!

 

[irontime]

Sounds like your'e losing a lot buddy, right on!
Gotta love those loose fitting jeans, about two months ago I tried on a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to fit into since I was 15, the god damn things fit! That was a cool surprise.

*** MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED FOR YOU SWEETIE***

AND wow.. You ARE LOOKING GREAT!! Congrats!!!! I see lines in your tummy! Cool!!
KEEP UP YOUR HARD WORK! This diet is totally working for you!

 

[nikegurl]

hi dvlmn. looking good! glad the diet is working out for you. cool how you can not feel totally exhausted on the low carb days isn't it? i think you're going to like training alone. no doubt there are benefits of a training partner but i like the benefits of being able to do exactly what is best for you when you train even more.

hope your week isn't TOO crazy.

 

[dvlmn666]

well it's official I'm moving to san diego. I'm workin on getting a contract with the side job to work for them remotely from there. So may not have to stay at my friends for long at all.

Thanks ng and P. Yeah I think the diet is working, just hoping I'll get to my goal. And soon I'll be training alone. But I know what your saying NG I did that while Jeff was hurt at the beginnign of the year.

 

[dvlmn666]

My logging has sucked and will be bad until my move is over. But I'll do my best.

Quads:

6 sets Leg Extensions last 4 did like 21's, those burned like crazy
5 sets Leg Press
4 sets Sissy Squats

 

[Twin Peak]

Where are the squats!!?!?!?!? Dv we need to discuss training once you are on your own! Good luck and congrats on the move. I'll post my chest workout from this morning later.

 

[dvlmn666]

Sounds like a great idea there TP.

But I'm now not going to move til the end of October. The company decided they need me to install a new accounting sytem for there "new" company. So they are paying half the rent and all utilities for the 2 extra months. And then I'm off to San Diego, they figure after the 2 months they might actually let me work for them from down there.

But we'll see not sure if I want to work for them like that. But at least things are finally coming together. Since now I can finish up the side job and get there contract set up to work remotely for them. As well as save up quite a bit for when I do move.

 

[Twin Peak]

Get your buddy to do squats and deads until them. Tell him to stop being a puss!

 

[dvlmn666]

Well yesterday told him we should do deads since today was back day, and he went and avoided it the whole workout. lmao

Soon I'll be back on during the day and be logging everything again. The new place has dsl so I'll be able to be on more and have the time to log everything again.

 

[dvlmn666]

The diet has only been about 80% of what it was before we moved. We didn't have a fridge so I've been having problems getting enough meals in. Way to many protein drinks.

But the new place has a fridge so it's time to clean it all up again.

 

[dvlmn666]

But pix on sunday again. We'll see, I haven't lost any weight and my strength is still going up actually. So we'll see, but I need to clean it up again. Gotta get those abs to show.

 

[dvlmn666]

Workout:

Back:
3 sets Hammer Behind the Neck Iso Pulldowns
3 sets Pullups
3 sets Cybex Pulldown Machine
3 sets Seated Rows (Narrow Grip)
3 sets Row Machine
3 sets Hammer Iso High Row
3 sets single arm dumbell rows

Traps: (Normally throw these in with shoulders but felt like switching it up a bit)
4 sets Machine Shrugs (Used handles so arms were behind me like with behind the back barbell shrugs, made the shrugs more like squeezing right behind my neck with my traps)
3 sets Dumbell Shrugs (kept the dumbells on the front of my thighs)

Doing the shrugs the two different ways seems to work, I could feel the burn more twards the back of them on the first exercise and more twards the top on the second one.

 

[Twin Peak]

OMG that's a lot of sets!

Yeah I have a problem when I'm by myself were I take short breaks. And I felt really good today and was focused. And kind of overdid it. I can tell since I'm already sore, usually I don't get this sore this quick.

after I move I'm going to be asking you some questions to clean up my workouts if you don't mind TP.

 

[Twin Peak]

Not at all, looks like your slimming down, nice job!

Waist is the same but chest is bigger and you gained 4 pounds...that works!

 

[dvlmn666]

Thanks, I needed to hear that. I've been getting frustrated because of the job stuff and everything I've cheated here and there. But for the most part been staying as strict as I can. But was thinking I didn't have any progress this week.

And awesome I"ll have a ton of questions.

 

[irontime]

Good luck with your move buddy, let us know how everything works out for ya

 

[Stacey]

HEY HONEY!!!!!!!

 

[dvlmn666]

Thanks IT, I'm looking forward to it. I spend last weekend geting stuff ready. I have the new gym membership set up. Now just need work to make a few decisions for my trip next week. and I'll have everything ready for hte move. so I can concentrate on my diet and the gym again.

no pix this week I forgot my stupid camera in SD. But will be going back next tuesday so there will be a 3 week gap. but nothing special since of the 3 week I'll only be able to be at the gym 1 week of it. I've stayed about 80% on the diet. But when I get back sept 2. It's back to hardcore and strict as ever. Sorry TP about me slacking. But I've also decided I'm going to do this diet again probably around Jan or Feb. And go the whole 12 weeks super strict.
