    Day 11

    Day 11 sucked ... spent it on a sofa, with my leg propped up because I think I aggravated a tendon behind my knee .... going back to seated calf raises starting next week ... standing calf raises seem to irritate my leg to the point that it's painful to walk

    I decided to make this an off day, took 1/2 scoop of GM and drank lots of water .... I'll hit the gym on Saturday morning to make up for the lost day

          you can never go overboard on carbs, only on loading days....



          keep up the good work man, keep tending to that knee, nothing sucks more than being motivated to only be shot down by stupid injuries.

          keep the head up, 60 percent of injurys are mental. you are only as disabled as you allow yourself to be


          on that note.......i gotta go ice my injuries hahaahh

            Day 13

            July 6, 2006

            weighed in @ 197.4lbs ... down a pound from the day before .... really good day in the gym ... shoulders/traps are one of my favorite days because I'm trying hard to get my side and rear delts as developed as my front (currently have the "rolled shoulder" look) ... water intake was about 1.5 gallons

            Shoulders / Traps

            Rear Military Press
            90 x 10
            95 x 8
            100 x 6
            105 x 6
            (up 5lbs on all sets from last week)

            Seated Side Laterals
            15's x 8
            20's x 8
            20's x 8
            (no increase in weight this week, but will go up next week)


            Front BB Raises
            40 x 10 (up 5lbs)
            40 x 10
            40 x 10


            Face Pulls
            60 x 10 (up 5lbs)
            60 x 10
            65 x 10 (up 5lbs)


            DB Shrugs
            75's x 15 x 2
            80's x 15 x 2

            Went shopping the other day and picked up more bananas, peanut butter, deli ham, and wheat bread ... also picked up some brown rice and will fix a huge pot of that and start taking it to lunch everyday to help get my carb intake higher

            yesterday wasn't too bad for me, but still wish I had taken in a few more carbs ...

              Day 14

              July 7, 2006...

              weighed in @ 197.8lbs this morning ... took my usual 2 scoops of PW with 1 scoop of GM about 15-20 minutes pre-workout .... pumps were good ... vascularity is still up ... sweatin' like it's nobody's business .... went up in weight on nearly every exercise ....

              the WB at night appears to be working as well ... it's been a little over a week now and I'm looking fuller than when it was just adding GM to my supplementation .... I'll continue to use WB at night until I start my X-Factor cycle in a few months ... oh, and dreams have been very vivid, but I'm feeling well-rested in the mornings

              I want to note that I've modified my post-workout shake to have only one scoop of whey isolate ... seems to be making me feel less bloated and full so I can fit in one extra meal before I leave for work in the mornings, though I'm still taking the same amount of oats and glutamine powder with each shake....

              Quads / Triceps

              Hack Squats
              140 x 10
              140 x 8
              160 x 6
              180 x 6
              (plus whatever the sled weighs ... I have no idea)

              DB Lunges
              30's x 10 * 3
              (still having issues with balance when lunging with my left leg, so weight will stay the same until my stabilizer muscles are built up)

              Leg Extensions
              100 x 10
              105 x 10 (up 5lbs)
              110 x 10 (up 10lbs)

              Pulldowns
              70 x 10
              80 x 8
              90 x 6
              100 x 6
              (up 10lbs on each set ... also will be modifying this next week for isolated pulldowns .... wrists have been feeling strained after doing these w/ a straight bar and I think isolating each arm will fix this)

              Overhead DB Press
              65 x 8
              70 x 8
              75 x 8
              (up 5lbs on the last set, and will go up on first two next week)

              DB Skullcrushers
              25's x 10
              30's x 10
              30's x 10
              (up 5lbs on last two sets)

              diet wasn't too bad either .... hitting my calorie range of 3600 - 3800, but still need to work on the macros .... still have a little ways to go, but I'm definitely putting on some weight and keeping my fat in check ... will be doing some cardio tomorrow and will see if the gym has found their body fat monitor

              p.s. - can the fellas from CL let me know if there's anything that I've been leaving out of my daily logs that they would like to see added? I think I've got it all covered, but wanted to make sure

                    10oz 1% milk

                    1.5 cup broccoli

                    2 thin slices chix breast (cooked in olive oil, pepper, and garlic)

                          Day 15

                          July 8, 2006

                          skipped the weigh-in, but I've been on a slight downward trend with weight ... personally, I think it's from fat loss because I'm definitely putting down the calories.... workout was really good .... Here I am two days later and my lats are still feeling sore .....

                          Back / Hams

                          Hammer Pull-ups
                          bodyweight x 10
                          bodyweight x 6
                          bodyweight x 4
                          bodyweight x 3

                          Underhand Lat Pulldowns
                          110 x 8 * 2
                          120 x 7 (up 10lbs)

                          Standing DB Rows
                          65 x 10 (up 20lbs)
                          65 x 8 (up 15lbs)
                          70 x 6 (up 15lbs)
                          75 x 6 (up 15lbs)

                          Wide Grip Cable Rows
                          110 x 8
                          120 x 8 * 3 (up 10lbs)

                          SLDL's
                          110 x 10 * 3

                          Isolated Leg Curls

                          60 x 10 (up 10lbs)

                          I was really focused during this workout ... was one of my better ones since being on GM


                          nothing special about the diet today .... but I did hit the macro percentages that I've been aiming for since starting the log

                            Day 16 & 17

                            July 9 & 10, 2006


                            no lifting on these days, but the weather was perfect on the 9th .... got a few fellas together and played 3 rounds of disc golf ... sipped on some PW and Xtend the whole time, then took a full scoop of GM with some ice cold water when I got home .... also remembered to take WB at night ... finally took a bit of a cheat day and ate a bunch of crap mixed in with a bunch of my regular healthy stuff ..... still think I stayed just under 4000 calories

                            decided to sleep in and catch up on some sleep that I lost over the weekend today (10th) ... sleeping in means missing out on my workouts since I don't find any joy in taking 2 hours to do a 1 hour workout because of a crowded gym ... feeling really good today, so I'm glad I got the rest .... back to schedule tomorrow ... chest and calves .... gonna try a new PR with DB presses ... wish me luck

                              Day 18 - Training

                              July 11, 2006...

                              65's x 8 (up 5lbs)
                              70's x 6 (up 5lbs)
                              75's x 6 (up 5lbs and new PR)

                              Flat DB Press
                              80's x 8
                              85's x 8
                              90's x 6 (up 5lbs and new PR)

                              Incline DB Flyes

                              Seated Calf Raises

                              115 x 15

                              strength is up, vascularity is up too ... I felt like I could see every vein in my arms ... going to try and hit 100lbs DB's for Flat Bench Press by end of August, but the way my strength has been going up, I think I could hit that a lot earlier ....

                              I'll post my diet log later tonight, but was really exicted to get these records posted
