not you fat jesus....

ever have one of those days? not wanting anything but the world to stop, complete utter silence, left alone to your own misery...yeah that was me today. i just thought tired, rest, go to the pool...hell no i knew i needed to do legs. instead i dug up some motivational videos and got my ass to the gym. not being totally convinced i figure it would be good to push the boundaries....

squats 405x5 5 sets
squat machine--facing in---450x5 5 sets, drops sets 360, 270, 180, 90 all for 5 reps
leg press 450x8 7 sets
--by now my low back was screaming. legs were on fire with a skin stretching pump, thanks ALRI for WTF!!
smith lunges 115 did rest pause reps till i hit 50 total. had to sit down a few times to ease the tension in the back.
stairmaster---calf work---2 minutes 3 sets my god this was intense! very nice feeling in the calves.

i must say i am feeling good. went to see the parents and my mom remarked about me losing weight. guess the Primordial supps are working, along with some heavy duty training and cleaned up diet. got on the scale today and i am about 239! also noticing the waist is looking tighter...really like the Dermatherm.

counting down....

3 freaking weeks left! i am excited this time around to compete. things have been firing on all cylinders. training has been phenomenal. today was no exception....

ate good last night, double burger which was about a pound of meat and peanut butter pie. cannot beat a good cheat meal...

screaming into the sky....

yes this one got me going this morning. a good song before stones....

have not done much the last 3 days. 2 i worked but went straight home to eat and sleep. yersterday was complete laziness. ate a boatload of pasta and watched movies.

this morning i was raging to get events in. had a full crew there. couple extra guys came down to train.
started with log 160, 190, 210....very easy. the yoke and keg were setup. i picked up the yoke 3 times but didn't move it. wasn't my plan today. picked up the heavy keg...250lbs. then i took it for a couple runs. first was 50' the next one was 80'. felt very nice. then came the fun...stones! i put the 250 to 60". rested and popped the 300lber to 48" then repped it 2 more times.

that was enough for me.

ghosts....

been haunted the last few days. feelings of my past, hurts and pains, reopening old wounds. is this the devil talking to me? giving me doubts and distractions?  haha....gonna laugh at him then. no dterrring me now.


ate well and slept better last night. woke up with legs on my mind. hit the gym ready to do battle...
had a convo with one of the meatheads there, recommended some Primordial products and ALRi stuff.
yeah i am a promotion machine, but only for stuff that works.

so leg day went something like this....

squats 135x5 225x5 315x5 405x3 495 5singles
---was very happy with these. got nice and deep on 4 of the 5 singles.

squat machine--facing in--- 450x5 6 sets

leg press 270x10 8 sets

single leg extensions 50x75 each leg

will be walking funny tomorrow.


all done with Humapro, back to the shakes till i get paid. lets see what happens now.
still kicking it with the Androhard and Dermatherm. Forgot my Androhard last night and i feel a little bloated today. seriously this stuff makes me feel harder....

how will i wash my hair?

doing triceps and heavy pressing always gives me that dilemma, along with needing to just feed at a trough. i don't think i will be lifting my arms soon...

close grip press 135x5 205x5 245x5 295x3 315x1 345x 5singles
tried something new....
tate press on pulley 60x5 6sets
---used a rope and went across my body. set at nipple height.
pushdowns/extensions 50x10 10sets

calm like a bomb....

certainly describes my day and training. woke up with and evil feeling, a nastiness welling up that only iron could dissipate. maybe it was the song stuck in my head from the night before....thanks to the cute bartender at Meg O' Malleys.... i will not mention the song, it finally was eradicated from my memory. speaking of Meg's. if you go there i recommend Norm's platter...i get the seared tuna with mashed potatoes and mushrooms....

ok so back to the evil....

got done with a messed up day at work. honestly i know i am scheduled for the day but who wants to work on saturday? left work and got to the gym. on the way i started listening to Rage Against the Machine....that helped a ton. back was on the menu....

good mornings 135,225,315x5 deep! 405x5 5 sets
zerchers 225,315 from knee height  405x5 singles from hip height
barbell rows 315x5 5 sets last set almost had me puking!
low row/rope pulldown 80x10 8 sets

i am beginning to ache everywhere. a few cramps too....think i might be chugging gatorade tomorrow.
the supplements from Primordial are showing some results. i can feel more energy and endurance from the Androhard. the green tea is nice, keeping the does at 2 per serving. i do rhink i am seeing results with the Dermatherm. judgment will be out till i finish it.

love the combo of Chain'd out and Humapro. seriously i feel great and use those to replace a meal and shakes. when i do that i use fish oil or some nuts to add fats. when's payday? i need more Humapro....

necessary evil

dammit do i hate cardio....necessary evil. went to the gym after work and did abs too.

5 sets total, cable side bends and ab pulldowns. 3 work sets with 200lbs. then 20 minutes on the elliptical, interval setting. like that but i need to up the workload. also did 20 minutes on the elliptical on wednesday too.

gym was packed last night. didn't feel like being there...tonight is off night. going to get some tuna at the pub.


still liking the Androhard and Dermatherm....i will have to compare my gut to the first pics i took. really dreading running out of Humapro....the stuff is gold! anyone notice a slight beef taste?
