Day 3... "Hump day"
Wednesday - 6/14/2006
Lower

Thoughts:

I was in the zone today... the twilight zone Definately looking forward to the carbup. Looking both "deflated" and "vascular" in the mirror.. I'll take it.. for now.

Negatives:
Just for starters, my back / neck was like "snap, crackle, pop" all day long... this can eventually start to **** with my mind. I felt normal / ok jogging to the gym, but I just wasn't feelin legs today. Energy was pretty good all day long, that's why it was strange. Now I didn't get quality sleep last night.. I eventually got enough sleep, but my neck / back tightened up so bad that there's no way it was deep sleep.

Positives:
On a positive note, my arms were looking pretty pumped and vascular since yesterday. I luckily got a second wind halfway through my workout, otherwise it would have been a total loss.

Gym:

Leg Ext warmup

Squats:
135 x 15.. warmup felt like 225.. not good
225 x 8.. legs twitching.. took a water break and stretched
315 x 6.. MMC sucked
315 x 6.. legs twitching again.. seriously messing with my mind
315 x 6.. pathetic

Very frustrating... I'll be starting off with deads next leg day.

DB Lunges:

60 x 8
60 x 8
60 x 8
60 x 8

At this point my legs were starting to come to life "a bit".

Abs:
4 x 8

Meh...

Deadlifts:
225 x 12 warmup
315 x 8.. felt like shit honestly.. legs feeling like jello
315 x 8.. meh
315 x 8.. dying.. longer rest
315 x 6.. lucky to get 6

This was a recipe for injury right here. This was actually strapped but no belt so I didn't go up in weight even on those last sets. All I'm happy about is the nice stretch, and avoiding injury.

Day 4... "I hate off days"
Thursday - 6/15/2006
OFF

Thoughts:

Negatives:
I hate off days... no really I do. I feel hyper. By the end of the day I feel like hitting the gym and tearing it apart. And unlike SOME (most?) the day AFTER a off day I usually don't have a very good workout... but we'll see.

Positives:
It's almost like I'm not eating at all. The food has no meaning or taste value, and Red ACID is destroying my cravings as expected... so I'm actually on a roll right now and it doesn't matter that my appetite is down because I'm hitting my daily calories easily due to fat = more calories per gram as you all know.

Day 12.... RANT !!!
Friday - 6/23/2006
Upper + Cardio

Thoughts:

I got my free Frank (Wrath) McGrath posters. The man is a freakin "animal" no pun intended... what shocked me a bit is how much his "life on paper" parallels my own. For example, I made some of my best gains when my license was suspended and I was taking the bus. No big deal right ?

Well, in the midwest in the winter this means I'm freezing my ass off:

1) On the way to work
2) On the way from work
3) On the way to gym
4) On the way from gym
5) On the way home
6) Anywhere else I go

Then there is his poster where he is in the kitchen, force-feeding the chicken and rice...wondering "why am I here" etc.. "I'm not gonna puke" and there is WRATH with a big gallon water bottle like I used to always use (I use a 3 liter now).

Then there is another photo where his face looks like bloated shiat... just like mine when I'm all-out bulking.... good times

Negatives:
The pressure / stress to get shredded is getting to me a bit. For example on the way to the pool I looked vascular BUT pretty flat / deflated and that messed with my head more than it should have... some of you that are cutting or carb cycling might be able to relate... it's technically "moodiness" I guess

Oh, another negative is that I neglected my rear delts again.. I hit them with some bandwork but it's not the same.

Positives:
Definately ready to carbup like a mofo !!!

Pretty happy with my calorie intake... would have aimed more for 4500-4700 but I did a shitload of cardio... and cardio is still feeling great. My endurance and stamina are definately coming back and it just feels awesome.
