Tom's first journal

[BulkMeUp]

If it is not actually infected then you are better off just wrapping it up, keeping it dry and stable and letting it heal. The more you 'play' with it, the more you damage what your body is trying to do..

Thats the most important thing to do. Keep it dry and let it heal.

Just thought I's post my messed up weight today .. I weigh 140lbs , How'd I gain a Pound??

Didn't pee as much as you normally do!

Seriously - 1 pound is NOTHING!! You could have a little more bulk in your intestines or you could have drunk a little more water than you normally do yesterday... That 1 pound may not be actual 'you' weight at all...


But - 140 pounds is a much more rounded whole number anyway... So even if it IS actual 'you' weight then leave it be!

 

[Tom_B]

Maybe swap one of the rests then? What about this for the next month -
Sun - Quads/shoulders
Mon - Chest/Tri
Tues - Cardio
Wed - OFF
Thurs - Back/Bi + cardio
Fri - Hammies/calves/abs
Sat - OFF

ok

LOL... Well... Not necessarily MORE... But more exercises anyway.


No these are not them... And the link to the site is down at the moment!!

Drop squats use a high box - and you have one leg over the edge - and you squat (ATG) down on one leg (holding DBs if you can) and then back up again.

But you can just do lunges or split squats for now and I think that they would be just as good.

ok good because we don't have a high box ..
Omg .. Emma the split squats destroyed my legs , like you have no idea , my legs (both quads and hammies) are SORE as hell , I can't bend over .. and omg my ass .. it's even worse , if it even slightly burshes up against something it actual hurts .. tomorrow (quads + shoulders) should be interesting ..

Yeah - only you lean back and you actually sit on the ground and wedge your knees under the seat. Then lean back and contract through your middle back to draw the v-bar to your chest/nipple line (not your sternum).

Sit on the floor .. and the seat wouldn't go far enough down to lock my knees under .. and when trying to get the bar to my chest the seat would be in the way .. my gym's not equiped to do that LOL .. can I just do them on the seat??

Yeah - but a little wider in the grip - then you PULL down through your lats to draw the bar towards you (like a lat pull)

Pull down?? .. hmm still kinda confused LOL sorry

Welcome!! Any thoughts on a name for the new journal?? And are you going to have a different layout? Fancy headings? More piccies??

LOL
Umm I think the name will be "Tom's on a recomp" kindea has a nice ring to it (thanks Adrian ) Hmm might put my workouts in differently , and you can make fancy heading?! how?? LOL
Also might take piccies next week .. see how bloated I am!!

That was supposed to happen, He is turning over to the dark side. He cant be all pretty and be on the dark side and turn into darth vader. Whoever heard of a pretty Darth Vader. Wouldnt be too convincing.

But ... it makes for a better movie for me .. me and Corey both were like Crying because he was so hot then got so .. nasty. Then Andrew (Who btw is British , but also went to Austrailia for a year so his accent is so adorable) Turn to me and goes "Shh! Watch the program!" LMAO!! program!! ahh it was great , I couldn't stop laughing.

That was supposed to happen as well. Coz that explains Luke Skywalker and Princess Lea in the earlier movies (later part of the story)

Ya .. but .. what if he was really gay and he adopted them and then sent them away to be adopted again , ahh ever think of that one??

I am going to see it for the 2100+ special effects!!

Honestly I didn't notice anything spectacular about it that could just be me , but it's not that great of a movie .. dosne't live up to it's hype.

like that storyline is gonna fly in mainstream Hollywood! A Gay Darth Vader!!!!!

Honestly I didn't notice anything spectacular about it that could just be me , but it's not that great of a movie .. dosne't live up to it's hype.

I saw it this weekend. It is a good movie. Not great. I expected a darker movie. But it was just an entertaining fun-action sci-fi movie. So out of the 6, ESB stays my fav one

Single Leged Squats

Hmmm.. this is the one of the sites i saw :The Split Squat. And on this page there is a Front Split Style Squat. What i called stationary lunges. So i guess they are the same great exercise for hitting the hams and glutes.

Gonna start a New journal Tomorrow Night
