Ok workout. I am going to play tennis today and take tommarow off. Then on saturday I will do low volume legs. Who am I kidding, I'm gonna end up doing full volume because im a dumb face. Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I have been thinking of changing my routine to upper/lower. I haven't decided yet.

 

[Seanp156]

Upper/Lower for teh win kekeke!

Heh, well... All I had to do earlier was take a math test... So, I've just been sitting around for the past 2.5 hours... I gotta go mow my bro-in-law's lawn now though, he tore his ACL in a soccer game...

Ow. I hear about so many ACL injuries.

taking a week off starting today. I realized I really should when I sleep 11 hours and only stay up 12-14. I've also been having the most fucked up experiences in my sleep. My body feels raped, and I just woke up. This should be a great weekend to fish.

I think two weeks would be prudent, but I just can't take that much time off.

I know just how you feel bro. I hate taking off, because everything else in my life goes to shit until I return to the gym. My whole life as attached itself to lifting which has resulted in some fantastic motivation, but I have detached myself from things I use to enjoy. Mainly smoking, drinking, drugs, and video games. You can easily see why lifting is extremely good for me.

I was suppose to take a week off after I finished my shock week, but I didn't and I think my body has paid the price.

Taking weeks off sucks and takes alot of balls to do if your dedicated. I take a week off at 5-8 weeks on. During the training weeks i might take a day off if i feel it's needed. Gl FuFu

Yeah for the week my life won't feel balanced. I'm gonna end up partying with my time off probably. Still gonna stick with the diet strictly though. Going to be nice out this week which is good. Friggin went from 50 degree highs to 85-90. Living in a New England valley for the lose. Weather is so random.

Thanks.

I should be able to get it done. I am pretty tired so I don't even feel like working out today anyways, lawl. I know how important it is to take time off so that fact will help me rest.

Weight was 174 this morning.

This sucks. I wanna go to the gym so bad.

Played tennis for 2 hours yesterday. Best day tennis-wise I've had in a while. I had my forehand topsin, backhand backspin/tospin, and drop shot all working. I did suck shit when it came to lobbing and charging the net with the floater. I think I'll play again today even though my knees and ankles are feeling meh.

 

[Seanp156]

My backhand pretty much always used to be better than my forehand, and I'm right handed too .

My backhand pretty much always used to be better than my forehand, and I'm right handed too .

my back hand topspin is usually more consistant than my forehand topsin, but if a sweet connection with my forehand I usually rape it. I actually rarely hit straight no spin shots because ever since I started playing I used topsin because my friend did too. We are the only two people to use alot of topsin out of the people I play with, so when my friend and I play other people it is kind of funny because when our bawls hit the court then bounce up high pretty fast and everyone gets pissed.

Then when I play someone who rarely used topsin I suck because I always expect the ball to pop up fast, but I'm getting better.

Played tennis for the last three days and this is what happens, lower back pain and tendonitis. Gah. I'm gonna keep it cool for the next three days, no sports. Rest my back and friday start up again with legs. Good thing the tendonitis only hurts when I actually play. Never bothers me from lifting.

The lower back pain is disheartening. It it really bothering me, it'll get over though. 3 days should be plenty. I think I over stretched it yesterday after tennis. It was so hot out and I had been playing for over an hour and half then I stretched. My muscles were super loose and I really stretched out. I don't think my body is used to being so loose, so when I stretched out hard I kind of messed my back up a bit. My hamstrings and feel a bit tight too.

I had the same thing in my shoulder last week. I switched the side of my body I sleep on from the hurt shoulder to the OK one, and it went away quick.

It is feeling a bit better now which is good. It was giving a weird sensation in my left hamstring. I am guessing by friday it should be fine. My friend had almost the exact same thing as me from playing tennis.

So I weighed myself this morning and apparently I am 180 lbs. Like a week ago I was 173.5.

I even weighed myself 5 times to make sure.

nice

 

[fufu]

nice

Maybe I was overtraining and not putting any weight on, so now that I am taking time off it just jumped up quickly. Who knows. I've been shitting like a beast recently too, doesn't make sense. I'm not complaining though.

 

[Brutus_G]

man! I've read that when not ripping muscle u store more carbs in ur muscle and each carb contains water that it brings in with it. Try reading this all of u guys just give it an honest read and keep an open mind. At first i was skeptical but i gave it a try and must admit it works and that when i weight lifted 5 times a week i saw no progress 4 times aweek progress improved. doing 3 times a week makes my strength shoot up. Iron man has a very similar laid out routine just a bit more work and weeks off.

I might devise a new routine and end up lifting three times a week instead of four because of tennis and the good weather...but for now, time for a swim. hohohHO!

 

[fufu]

[shiznit2169]

Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Biceps
Wednesday - Forearms
Thursday - Off
Friday - Chest
Saturday - Biceps
Sunday - Off

Repeat

I really enjoyed 3 day a week programs when I did them, but they're just difficult to use with Westside and upper/lower splits without alternating days every other week, which for some reason I don't like...

I think size and strength, but I will concentrate more on hypertrophy during the summer.
