    Day 41 - Aug 11th

    Sleep- 9 hours

    The Day- I was sore all over, so decided to take an off day today. Appetite was raving as well. Eat quite a bit, but kept it clean. My veins have started to jump out more than usual, I'm loving that. Just had some friends over, didn't do much. I'm starting to really like coffee all of a sudden too. Must have had like 8 cups in about a 3 hour span.

        Day 42 - Aug 12th

        Sleep- 8 hours

        The Day- Woke up and had to do a bunch of stuff at my new place, so pretty much spent the entire day there. Did a some light moving and shifting around. As far as diet went, I didn't have much of a choice since there aren't any dishes, untensils, etc. moved and no food, so I just had to eat what was ordered. Ended up being Chinese, Pizza; all the good stuff. Got back just in time before the gym closed and had myself a quick session.

        I pushed it up a notch today since I had only about 45 min to work with. Right from the first set, I was completely focused. To my dismay, there is this guy, a typical "chatty nanny" I haven't seen in a while. So in reality, I had a lot less time than I thought I had. Oh well, still got in a good workout, so I'm not complaining. Got pretty pumped the first few sets, but then it didn't stick around long.

        No Cardio and Streching

          Day 43 - Aug 13th

          Sleep- 7 hours

          The Day- Had to wake up quite early to help my dad bring something he bought to the new house. Took much longer than I had expected, so I couldn't just go back to bed like I had oringinally planned. I'll get pics, measures; all that as soon as we get bulk of the stuff done. My cut's been quite successful so far, and I'm sticking with it till I'm satisfied. It was insanely hot outside, so I didn't quite get a walk in. Just went to the gym and bout' it.

          110 x 10
          BW x 10

          Strength increases were quite nice. Weights were up'ed and still felt lighter. Again, thinking this might as well be the doing of the carbs yesterday, and to an extent today. Doing set after set too fast with shoulders just makes them hurt like hell. Found it quite hard doing too many sets without much of a rest. The pump didn't subside at all. Great workout.

          Duration: 1 hr

          Cardio: 10 min. Low Intensity
          Streching: 5 min, after workout

            I usually superset my front, side and rear delts and the pump and burn is really intense. I have to go and stretch them out each set. Looking good man.

              That is exactly what I used to do and had the same outcome! However, I couldn't hold out too many sets doing it that way and eventually dropped it. Hey, come to think about it, I think I'll reintroduce it and see how it feels. Haven't done that for a very long time. My threshold should be a little better now, hopefully.

              How did your superset look like. Could you give me a quick example of the exercises you used. Thanks man!

                Day 44 - Aug 14th

                Sleep- 9.5 hours

                The Day- Went for a walk (20-25 min) in after noon. Most of the day was hectic with being "on hold" with customer service for lots of things. Man, I didn't even realize the amount of places/things that I needed to change my address on. A part of moving a few things got canned because it rained. Let it all out in the gym, had a great workout.

                85 x 12

                Workout went fantastic! I don't know what came over me, but I decided to just do my squats the way I like 'em.. heavier. I am almost certain I can pull off about 260-270 for 2-3 reps atleast. I will aim for that as I move along. Doing this conditioning/high rep thing has worked great. I have got most of my stamina back and my strength has increased sligthly due to the stamina. The squats were done with about a 30-45 sec rest. I knew my legs and mostly my gluteus (due to those darn lunges) would kill me the day after and guess what, they do! Mentally, it was a great break of a workout from the sloppy mood I've been in lately.

                Duration: 1 hr 15min

                Cardio: 15 min at Low intensity

                    Sugar: 0
                    Protein: 14 Grams

                      Day 45 - Aug 15th

                      Sleep- 7.5 hours

                      The Day- Holy cow! My lower body was killing me. I could barely walk. Hammies, quads, gluteus; name it, all sore and I love it! I went out for a walk anyway. Though getting the blood flowing would help in getting rid of lactic build-up, if any ( I know DOMS is completely different) More of a stroll, really. The old man with the cane was faster than me. Contemplated getting behind him, tapping his shoulder followed by a swift kick to the balls and making off with his cane, but nah, I'll save it for later. I couldn't bend or sit without experiencing pain, so I thought twice about working out today. Did so anyway. I knew the DOMS would get much worse following today, then subside by the 4th to 5th day after the initial session. The pics will be coming shortly. I don't have my cam on me. Sister made off with it for a summer camp or maybe my parents put her in a circus. Who knows, but she won't be back until the 25th, so I have to hope my girlfriend "remembers" to get her cam this time, which I remind her to do everyday, but she so convienently forgets.

                      130 x 8
                      130 x 8

                      Think I've been in such a better mood lately. In the gym, atleast. Workout was great! Strength is still up and so is stamina and energy. Rest was about 15-45 secs depending on how I felt after a set. Had to give out a little time for my delts to recover, they took quite a beating for bench press. Also, the fact that I am making my workouts much shorter seems to be helping. Either case, I hope this sticks with me.

                      Duration: 40 min

                        16th, The Day- Legs were killing me still, so I decided to take on off. I was at the new place almost the entire day, helped with some moving, and that's about it.

                        17th, The Day- I was pretty worn out from all the moving yesterday, so I hit the bed much earlier. I didn't have much time all morning. Have to start emptying getting all of the small things out and putting the big stuff aside. Called today a refeed and went wild. In the evening, I went out with my family for dinner. It was parsi cusine, which pretty much suked, so I eat very little. Odd, I used to love the stuff before. Got back and hit the gym.

                        I didn't feel strength increases as such, just felt normal today. Sweated out quite a bit for doing arms. My arms felt insanely pumped today. It didn't subside all the way home. I kept putting my hand over and under my forearm to feel it. Weird, I know, but it felt awesome. Hard as a rock.

                          Update till Aug 22nd

                          Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while. Didn't have the internet back till this morning. Finished my moving, glad to be done with that all. I haven't lifted much at all, mostly due to the inconvenience of getting my gym. I don't have a car, both my parents are at work, so it's practically impossible unless I learn the bus routes here or walk it. Either way, I will be joining a new gym to get rid of this hassle. My old memership expires Sept anyway. I couldn't log my diet either, just kept it clean most of the few days. I'll just give you guys a small breakdown of what's been on each day-

                          Friday-I recall not feeling too bright, but hit the gym anyway.

                          Saturday- Today was the final move. The moving guys were one short, so I pitched in. I really wish I hadn't now, but I went along then. It's tiring work to say the least. The guy I was helping was freakin' built! The guys wrists were probably bigger than my forearms. Nice guy, though. We finished within about 5-6 hours. Really broke quite a sweat. Worst thing was I did it on an empty stomach, so during the move, I just ate whatever I layed eyes on. I didn't want to faint anytime soon. So chocolates, pasteries, cookies etc. anything that would give me instant energy. Didn't exactly have any real "food" at my new place, so I just settled with pizza that was ordered. Fell asleep later in the afternoon and woke up in the evening. Too damn worn out. I don't know what you call it, but because of the excessive sweating, I got some kind of rash under my arm. Everytime I rubbed my arm against it, it would hurt like hell. Kept me down for a day or two for sure.

                          Sunday- Still felt quite weak from yesterday. Did pretty much nothing but watch tv all day. Figured later I couldn't make it to the gym as planned because there was no way of getting there.

                          Monday- Got a session in, in the night. Hitched a ride with one of my parents going towards there. They were going to pick me up in about an hour so had to make the best of it

                          Didn't feel all that great during the workout. Definitely some lethargy/stamina issues. Didn't expect much though.

                          Tuesday-I was kicking myself to go to the gym today. Totally psyched out for it too, but then again, I didn't know the bus routes or have someone to take me. Haven't even got my phone working, so no calling for favours either. Didn't do anything the whole day except sit around and a small walk towards the evening. I'm joining a closer gym asap.

                          ----------------------

                          That's how these past few days have looked. Anyway, I did take some pics on friday that I meant to post up sooner, but here they are now.

                            Sleep- 7 hours

                            The Day- Not much to say except for the fact I am stuck here without any transport. Just lifted some weight I have lying around here for 15 min about 4 times in the day. Feeling really flat, tired and weak. Can't wait to join a gym by here. There's 2 already very close to my house, so I should be looking into it soon.

                              255 x 15

                              Didn't go as terrible as I had expected, but definitely not the greatest. Found myself pushing harder than before to get the weights up and I got fatigued quite easy. My heartrate was racing scarily. I had to take longer breaks to have it come down just enough to get another set in. I think the squats totally wore me out. Everything after, I was completely dead at. Calf Raises didn't go that well as I had worn the wrong pants to them in and the rest kept slipping off. Could only manage 10 which after my calves couldn't go any longer. Hurt like hell. It's good to finally get back to this

                                Not too much. Just went out for a walk in the afternoon. Took about an hour and I was about half way to my gym. Way too long to walk to for sure. Legs are insanely sore. Basically went limping all the way. I will be taking a look at the gyms here after the weekend.
