Just Building Mass Journal (Well atleast attempting to)

[I'm Trying]

P.S. In two weeks I'll rededicate myself and start a new journal. i've also been eating like sh!t lately from the stress and anger I've been having the last week and a half. I've spent about 30,000 dollars on this sh!t and I'm sick and tired of it. Hopefully the judge will make her ass pay me back. Well thanks again!!

 

[PreMier]

Good luck with that hearing.

 

[I'm Trying]

Thanks PM!! Can't wait until this phase is over. I know she will be a pain until my kids are 18 (they are 6 and 4 now) so its going to be a long time.

Thats too bad you guys cant get along. When my parents divorved(I was 3) they were still kinda friends. It was nice, because I got to see my dad every other weekend growing up.

I know how hard it is for ya... my mom does a lot of family law, divorces and such. Some of the stories she tells...

Nice bent rows btw.

Workouts are looking good man. Good luck building mass, I know how tough it can be at times. What is your diet like? And are you currently taking any supplements?

It would be nice if we could for the kids sake but in her eyes all she wants me to do is pay child support etc.. and have nothing else to do with their lives. She kept them already away from me for three years and have talked extremely bad about me all this time. Trust me I wish we could get along but that is why I divorced her she is an immature you know what. Wish I never married her but I have no regrets of my two kids. Maybe I'll post pics of them soon.
Thanks!!

Right now it's like Sh!t. I'm eating alot of junk (ie. mainly cookies and KFC Honey BBQ wings ) I'm trying not to eat sugar (unnatural). The Sunday after Easter I'm going to start over again and become VERY strict on myself again. I'll start a new journal when I do so be sure to check that one out Mike. I'll post diet and supp info along with workout logs.
Thanks ALot

Matthew ,

been there done that . Hope it all works out for you and your kids ! Hang in there man !

 

[M.J.H.]

Damn man, sorry to hear that. I have been in your position before. I have always battled with binging myself. Basically just pigging out all day on high-sugar high-fat foods. Lately though I have been getting better, even though it's still definitely tough.

Hope to see that you do a lot better after Easter man, I am definitely looking forward to seeing your new journal.

 

[I'm Trying]

Gary- Thanks I hope so too.

Mike- I can't wait either I'm coming up with some catchy names for it

4-11-04...
Today I did Chest and Tri's. Won't have another chance to work out since I leave for Phoenix Monday morning for my court case on Tuesday. Wish me luck. It looks like everything should fall in my favor as long as the judge looks at it correctly because all of the evidence is stacked against my ex. If anyone wants to get married while they are young please come talk to me so I can change your mind! It's better to wait when you are older and wiser which I wish I did.

Chest/Tris...

BB Bench
135x8
175x8
190x5
200x2 ( Wanted to try this out thought I could get three but I couldn't. Would help if I had a spotter )
185x6

Incline DB Press
40x10
50x8
60x8
70x5

Incline Flyes
30x10

55x6

Bench Dips
10x10
25x10
25x10

Rope Press Down
50x10
55x8
60x6

Overall O.K. workout. Just have alot on my mind for the next couple of days. Kinda stressing out, just can't wait til I can relax and sleep somewhat normal again and just start putting on tons of muscle!! I think for a while I might just do DB presses and maybe that will boost my bench quicker especially having no spotter which sucks. Well wish me luck in Phoenix!!!
Thanks!!

P.S. As always feel free to critique my w/o!!

 

[gwcaton]

good job on the bench press ! Hell the whole workout looks good !

Good luck in Phoenix !

 

[I'm Trying]

Well I'm BACK!! Did pretty good in Phoenix too . I'll spare the details but I pretty much got what I wanted and the ex pretty much got ZIP. The funniest thing was the fact she wasn't suppose to do her taxes yet, I filed an extension, well she filed anyways, but the judge ordered her to redo her taxes and I get to claim both kids for the 2003 tax year!! It suppose to alternate 2 on odd years and one on even years. Also child support got lowered to, which she also was pissed about because she expected more.

Well I have softball tonight so no workout but I'll start again tomorrow and new Journal starts monday!! I need to figure out a new temp. diet so I can burn off the fat I've gained from bingeing and not eating clean. If anyone has any suggestions please help me out. I'm still going to bulk just wanna get the fat back down a little.
Thanks Alot!!!

Nice strength IT!

I didn't realize what kinds of weights you were throwing around. What are your stats again bro, sorry. Also man, what is your first name? I never know what to call you, lol, I feel kinda' dumb saying "I'm Trying" all the time. Looking forward to seeing how you do with the S1+.

 

[I'm Trying]

Mike,
I'll start tomorrow with stats and introduction of my first name. Haven't really thrown it around yet but I'll post it tomorrow. Thanks for the praise for the weights. I feel I'm incredibly weak compared to everyone else here, but with hard work I'll catch up.
Thanks!!

 

[atherjen]

Your doing great IT- your making super improvments with your training
