My spinal erectors are fucking sore this morning, good stuff. I'm heading down to Umass today to hang out with some friends so my diet is probably going to suck bawls, I think I can make do though.

I realized today that my body is overtrained. I had no appetite this morning. When I went to the gym I felt like I could close my eyes and just take a nap. I was so out of it. I was starting to feel like I was having an OBE. My workout was five minutes long
Here it is:
standing overhead press - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 10 reps at 75 lbs (warm up)
set #2 - 3 reps at 140 lbs
set #3 - 3 reps at 140 lbs PR
These reps were sloppy too. They were full ROM but still looked sloppy. I know I am cabable of getting 4 with out much trouble.
I am feeling more tired as the day goes on. I'll rest today, tommarow, and if I feel up to it on saturday I will do a low volume leg day.
blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm starting to feel like that too, but I gotta get through next week since I've been building up to a 1RM on squats for monday... After that I'm planning on doing a low volume/moderate intensity split for a week, and then going back to Westside.

I have been, but not really. I'll be in bed for like 8-9 hours but I lose sleep quality because I always get woken up and it takes me a while to get back to sleep. I spelt better last night though. I think I got 10 1/2 - 11 hours of sleep, lawl

Gotta have heart. Yesterday was just maybe some fluke or something. I was SO out of it. Never ever felt like that in the gym. Good luck with that 1RM. I'm gonna do a squat 1 RM in about a month.
I am think I can handle it today. If I can get through today then I can rest the whole weekend like planned.
Oh yeah, I just got some of those old Converse Chuck Taylors for lifting. Only 35 bucks!

You think so?
I mean technically, calve raises were about 28% of my workout, but I wouldn't even really consider those working sets.
The bulk of the workout was squats and leg presses, the rest was isolation work which is hardly taxing on the body. I usually put 3 sets of some sort of sumo deadlift in there too.

Dude you're just getting you game on. Two years from now you will be a very different person. Just keep up the good work and add more sets as you feel ready.

No shit man, Fu could teach many of the people on this site a thing or two about dedication.
BTW, when are we going to get some photos put in your gallery?
If you mean me ... issues prevent that ... don't ask me what issues it just is what it is. I know that makes me look bad but nothing can be done 'bout that right now. No gallery pics is why I don't normally comment in journals nor offer advice else where but FuFu has a great start goin here and I felt moved to give 'em his props.

Its fine, no big deal.
I know KelJu and thanks ... also unlike some guys with no pics I'm not making any claims to be monsterously huge. My stats for this site are nothing impressive. 6' tall, 225 pounds, 34 to 36 inch waist (I like baked pastry type foodsKelJu said:
) , and my bench is around 300. Nothing spactacular but I do lift and keep myslef in good condition. My only bragging right is MMA from 15 years old to my mid 30's ... I'm 46 now.I looked at your gallery KelJu and dude you look like you worked hard to get where you are ... well done.

Weight this morning was 173 lbs. It has been around there for about a week. I don't really care about gaining weight now. My numbers have been going up fine and if I don't get heavier, so be it, my lifting ratio will be better.
Just for referance, I started a slow bulk about 4 weeks ago, and I have gained 2-2 1/2 lbs while keeping my bf in the same area. I've actually got better definition in my legs since I gained weight. I'm guessing I will be gaining 2 lbs a month.

What MA('s) did you specialize in? Did you compete? I had a short stint where I was into to Jiu Jitsu but I didn't have the time or energy to commit to it without sacrificing parts of my weight lifting routine. I didn't want to risk injury either and be out for a while. It is something I hope to get back into in the future.
I did several styles over the years but always stuck with the combination of weight training and MMA. Give it a shot with serious intentions and you will be amazed at the way the two can come together. Most guys get into the wild man party life too much to get the beni's the two can offer each other. The stretching is of course a huge difference but the cardio from sparing or rolling as well as the speed from working the bag and the routines will give you a very healthy feeling about your progress as you lift. The hardest part for me was leaving my ego at the door and just getting that day's work done. I watched guys I lifted with get bigger than me but I still kept up with my fighting. My strength gains stayed even with theirs but I wasn't gaining the mass like they were.
The three most important factors are stretching, rest, and diet ... drop any one of these and you will get injuries pretty quick. LOL ... for me raw eggs, veggies, juice and ice all tossed into a blender was the big thing back then. Yuck ...
You have it made now with all the killer tasting sups out there.
You have a good roll goin here FuFu ... don't let anything or anyone distract you from this road your on now. Good luck on your journey ...

Today's workout, 5 am session today -
bench press - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 10 reps at 45 lbs (warm up)
set #2 - 8 reps at 115 lbs (warm up)
set #3 - 4 reps at 185 lbs
set #4 - 4 reps at 185 lbs
set #5 - 4 reps at 185 lbs
I realized today that my arms were pointing in a bit at the bottom, so I used a wider grip today. On the last set my elbows were flared out, dah! I need to work on that. I still can't use my heels to drive the weight, not even a little bit.
incline bench press RI - 90 seconds
set #1 - 5 reps at 155 lbs
set #2 - 5 reps at 155 lbs
They felt awkward because I've only done incline bb bench press once before. The incline was pretty steep too.
seated chest press RI 80 seconds
set #1 - 12 reps at 135 lbs (slow eccentric)
set #2 - 12 reps at 140 lbs (slow eccentric)
pec deck - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 6 at 180 lbs
set #2 - 5 at 170 lbs
cg bench - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 6 reps at 135 lbs
set #2 - 5 3/4 reps at 135 lbs
Fuck, these were easy until the last rep on both sets, I don't understand it. They go up fine and then on the last rep it becomes so much harder. Maybe it is mental. I came so close to locking out the last rep on the second set. It was funny because when I lowered the bar and prepared to sit up with it, some dude came running over. I was like "oh great". I just sat up quickly. He said "If you need a spot just let me know!". I was like "thanks". I hate having a spotter.
weighted dips
set #1 - 4 reps at bodyweight + 25 lbs PR
I meant to do dips today. I knew something was missing. My workout was over but I added a set for good measure, they were freaking hard because my triceps were raped from cg bench.
Good workout. It lasted around 40 minutes.
