Looking good Rock. I had to do a split today for the first time. I am not going to have much time this evening and this B workout is much harder than the A. My weights were way down, I hate lifting in the AM, keep on truckin almost out of this phase

 

[PreMier]

Damn, I wish I could split.. all my lifts are going down. Keep up the good work buddy!

 

[Var]

Nice workout, Rock! I'm so jealous that your weights are going up. I'm having the same problem as PreMier. No way I can split.

 

[Rocco32]

If I didn't split guys I doubt I could pick up the bar at the end of a workout! Thursday I don't think I'll be able to split

 

[nikegurl]

I'm splitting this week and it's helping but I'm REALLY glad it ends this week. This morning when I got to the gym (at 5:45) the same guy was working at the front desk as was there when I left last night at 10:30. I'm seriously sleep deprived but no way could I get through it all in a single session. (thanks for the tip Rock!)

Almost at Phase 2....

That's awesome that you're still getting stronger.

 

[Rocco32]

Hey, no Prob Hilary. Yeah, it can be depressing to see the same workers! Can't wait for phase II

Someone's squats are improving!!!

[PreMier]

This is odd... rock is improving BIG TIME! I think he is a God or somethin...

hey brotha!
Why is that, do you think? fod? rest? too much traiing? not enough? need to switch up a bit?
I'm still on catch-up..but the #'s are slowly coming back for me...better not let me catch you, big guy!

 

[PreMier]

Hi B-man! Yea, too much training. I am soo damn sore, and back to the grind tomorrow

Once you get your diet and consistancy down, catching me will be a breeze for you.

 

[Burner02]

when was the last time you took a week off? Just do cartdio?
Hey...gopros workout cycles have u take a week off every month...
Was doing delts this afternoon..and was thinking of your workouts...

 

[PreMier]

Yea, I am on the same plan as rock(but not splitting). I have 9 weeks left not counting the rest of this week. Then MAYBE I will take a week off. My car had problems a while back, and I got 2 weeks off. It almost killed me!

 

[Burner02]

yeah...two weeks is a killer..pretty much get out of the habit of going...find out that watching survivor or amercian idol is somewhat amuesing..and then don't wanna miss it....actualy have to force yourwself back to the gym and restablish the mind link with the weights...

 

[PreMier]

I hear ya on that one. Except I got used to sleeping in DONT get sucked in by the reality television! Fight it b-man, fight it!

 

[Burner02]

I only watched the american idol for the auditions..those were the best..the rest sux.
I wil watch the Bachellor / bachellorette with the GF if I am at her house on that night.
The on I kinda like is that extreme house make over.

 

[PreMier]

LOL, I am addicted to that show Its on Sundays here... I want them to come and do my house, because what they do is outa this world!

 

[Burner02]

the two I really saw, was the one the US solder got to come home from Iraq and help with the rebuild of his home..the suprise at the end was really touching...
and the one where the young guy was in the wheel chair..they put in that elevator and pol, among other things...

 

[PreMier]

I didnt see either of those... I saw one where the house was like a half way home. This lady would take care of kids, and she was a teacher. It was great what they did. And the other one that comes to mind, is there was this SUV that ran into the front of this house... the people could not afford to fix it. Quite touching what the show does. Its the best show I have seen in a long time.
