Pizza fueled insanity

Saturday I was craving pizza, my weakness, I had a free one coming from Papa John's so I ordered 2. In about 2 hours I devoured one and saved one for the Sunday. The scale hated me in the morning I was bloated and feeling like crap. Then I went to train...

Shoulder and deads were planned. The carbs certainly helped here. I had the energy and looked full. 10 sets of 10 on presses and deads were quite easy. 205 for the deads felt light even with a minute rest between sets. I did have to use straps the alst three sets, the grip was taxed like Wesley Snipes. Surprisingly I was not craving pizza so I spaced out the servings throughout the rest of my day.

Those carbs helped me through a grueling arm and quad session today. I superstted tris and bis 4 different exercises in 2 supersets. Super painful by the end but gotta have arms... Squats were just downright nasty. 10 sets of 10 with 30% of my max. 205 was just flying up and I was  happy to be hitting these ATG through all the sets and reps. Same as thedeads I was resting 1 minute.

Cleaning up the diet is my plan, 10 more weeks left... Checking the diet crystal ball I see a lot of chicken breasts and broccoli in my future.

Let's start this again

I decided to enter the Summer Shred at Bodybuilding.com. Was planning to enter a bb'ing or physique contest but the money just isn't there for me. Didn't realize just how expensive it is...Strongman is defintely cheaper. So the Summer Shred is perfect for me. I can challenge myself and actually have a reason to train and diet in a totally different way than ever.

The big difference for me is that I have to increase volume, decrease rest, and not try to lift heavy. I can definitley say my conditioning is questionable, but I know it will improve.

So here is my training:

Sunday: Shoulders and hams
Monday: Arms and Quads
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday: Kettlebells, Abs, and Grip
Thursday: Chest and Back
I will do low intensity cardio on gym days, just the treadmill for 45 minutes. Will alos be throwing in a 70 minute bike ride at least once a week in place of the Kettlebells.

Here is what today was like...

Side and rear raises 30x10, 3 sets, 1 minute rest
Seated dumbbell press 45x10, 10 sets, 30 second rest
Cable upright row 150x10, 3 sets, 30 second rest
Deadlifts 315x3, 10 sets, 1 minute rest
Pull thrus 120x10, 10 sets, 30 second rest
Treadmill 45 minutes, 3mph, 7 incline

That's all folks!
