Cutting sucks so bad! I may never do it again. I may just stay fat! haha.....well maybe not fat, but not exactly around 6%bf either....

I am with you on this one.

If I can be big and strong and have a tiny bit of fat around my waist and still eat pretty much what I want to, then screw it, I am down with that

But then again, this is coming from two married guys with kids, so maybe we aren't the best representations of how you feel about things

I gotta put the girls 2 cents in... yeah, cutting is hard as hell, but when I get down to it start looking really uber lean,,, turn around and look at my ass in the mirror and go daaaammnnn... It makes it all worth it..

Had some more calories in me today and thank god I did. I dont know what was going on, but either my hams were working harder than usual on the deads or they were tight. I wanted to say fuck it after the 3rd set. Plus, my hands were killing me. I drove through it.

Good Mornings...light weight. What a pussy. What a workout. I SHOULD go light with these cuz of my back, but I ran out of breath on each set around the 6th-7th reps! Now, these I felt. More than any exercise! It was at that point that I knew that my hamstrings werent tight, they were just the primary movers today.

No back pains afterwards. Some stiffness, but considering the intensity and the addition of GMs, I thought Id be fucked for sure. Maybe Ill feel it later..?

Way to work through the deads

I am hoping so. I see some little signs in the mirror when I workout. I always look cut as I lift (who doesnt), but I see crevises (sp?) between my biceps and anterior delts. Where those come from? Could that be... a PEAK?!

I had a couple cheats today..not too bad, just sugar. 1 small slice of cookie cake and a smoothie with half "raw sugar." Gonna have some alcohol tonight too...

 

[katt]

I did that also... A co-worker had skittles and I grabbed a handful.... now my veins in my arms are all sticking out and shit... crazy how that happens..

I wonder if bb's down sugar before they go on stage to look this way?? Probably..

Yeah they do! I remember reading about that shit on here. I was astonished. Eating cake, pop tarts, one asshole said he ate cookie dough!

Good looking workout man! I've never tried Good Mornings, they sound fun.

HIIT outside, up a bridge

5 min warm up
20:20 of light jogs of 20 sec each, with 1 min walks
5 min cool down

Stretched Calves


Easier than I thought, but lets hope these $120 Brooks running shoes helps me NOT get shin splints...

The 5 min was mostly the incline of the bridge, but the 20:20 was the flat, descent, incline back up, & flat. The last 5 min was the cool down.

No hoots & hollars from any ladies.

Running shoes will make ALL the difference. Look into anti shin splint type warm ups.

I'm confused though. If i'm reading that right 20:20 of light jogs would hardly be classified as HIIT. But I think, i'm probably wrong - do you mean 20secs of all out sprints followed by 20 seconds rest?

I can see how that got confusing...

20:20 was total jog/walk time. I dont know how many sets I did, but when I stopped, my clock was at 25:20...then 5 min cool down which makes the total workout time 30:20.

The jogs were 20 sec each. Since this was my first jog of any sort in a while, I wanted to take it easy. Besides, this is a 1.5 mile bridge, so using up all that energy for sprints wouldve ended up with jogs anyway. Sure, I didnt have to do the whole bridge, but I wanted a longer workout time.

Woot Woot !!

Better late than never?

Ill take what I can get.

Im so fucking horny today.

I'm the same way today

I'm guessing you're taking a girl out tonight, huh.

 

[AKIRA]

I tried getting the old ball and chain to come relieve me, but shes never as satisfying as the girls I used to get...

I really dont want to call Miss Jupiter up (thats the city, not some metaphor). She sucks dick very oddly, but it works...but it works too well. I want to be inbetween some legs!

I tried to get some from Snaggletooth last night, but she got into a car accident I guess.

Sometimes I HATE going out and starting over.

[tallcall]

Ok, this picture looks funny. So what's the story behind it? Akira, making booty calls, calls Dominoes?

 

[AKIRA]

Damn my forearm looks good.

I thought Id bring the boys some food. Most of the guys there dont give a shit about nutrition, so why not bring them some free pies I got from work.

 

[AKIRA]

I WANTED to go to the gym today for a heavy upper, but I decided.. why not change out the spark plugs.

I was fucking DRENCHED with sweat. This project sucked this time around. My wires showed why they were less than $50 since the last time I did this shit.

God damn wire boots disassembled! Cracked a plug! It was no way this hard last time! Whats funny is that the passenger side (one I did first) is hell compared to the driver side..where all this shit happened!

Just had to spend over $55 on new wires and plugs (just 2). Ugh, frustrating, wasteful day off.

Sorry to hear that man .

On a positive note, you're right, you do look good, and I'm sure it was nice of you to bring those guys some food (even if it was pizza, I'm just not a big fan of fast food, no offense).

 

[AKIRA]

Not fast food. FREE food.

 

[MCx2]

You going to Morgan's to watch the fights tonight?

 

[AKIRA]

I think so. Still gathering up some happiness. I am pissed off at my car, my wasteful day (well 2 hours werent bad), and Jodi is beating another dead horse.

 

[katt]

So I take it you had your fix with pizza instead of girls???

 

[AKIRA]

I had 1 slice that night...and I think 3 during the day. Yeah, I cheated a lil.

The girls I tried to obtain that night were out fucking other people, I guess. Who knows.

Thanks for updating my journal. You reminded me of what I have to look at from last week to do tonight!

I did pretty good today considering being sick yesterday. However, I dont know what the fuck happened, but when I first lifted the 225lbs off the incline bar, my left bicep felt tender. I tried stretching it out here and there, but it didnt go away. I was a little skeptical about doing rows and curls, but it didnt get in the way. One of those things, huh.

The alternating DBs finally got tough. I can go up, but I am really liking this RI shit. I am thinking of going to 8x3 rep scheme finally. Err, for bench, I dont know about the DBs.

Too tired to do HIIT. Looks like my energy is finally showing its depletion.

Ah here it is... 8x3 for incline huh? I wonder what I can do.. I want to try 275lbs...What do you think?

I know if Ill get that, the other shit might suffer. Gotta pipe that negative attitude down!

I got 8 hours until I lift, so well see how I feel.
