Another weekend in the books! I am completely out of gas! I had a pretty wild one. Starting with the Jayden Deluca Golf Tournament, then the Boise Fit Expo and finally the 7 Lions After Party... I was not able to hit the weights until today.. I trained arms and it was a pretty rough day, I can't lie... It's amazing how having all your ducks in a row contributes to great training sessions. Eating crappy food and not drinking enough water can make things pretty rough in the gym... As I get older, I feel that I need to have my A game more often than not if I'm going to succeed in Bodybuilding.. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail..

The grind... Back on it... After a crazy weekend filled with Golf, Dinners, Expos and After Parties, it was back to business... And what better way than to train Legs?
I got a great hamstring workout in, along with a thrashing on my calves... They are stubborn as hell, but I think they are finally starting to grow... I know that I can steal a victory here and there with what I have, but if I am going to succeed at the next level, I will have to erase any potential holes in my game... I didn't get around to training my abs today and will be making up for it tomorrow... All in all, a great night of training!sigpicDarren Conroy

Biceps and Triceps today... Shit was heavy and I liked it! I ended up trashing the weights! Rep range was 10, 8, 6, 6 today and I was equally impressed with the lack of joint pain... Going to take the day off tomorrow and then hit an early morning 6 am shoulder workout Friday... What better way to kick off the weekend?sigpicDarren Conroy

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as well as their Father's Day! I couldn't complain as my weekend stayed busy, but I still was able to watch the final round of the US Open with my old man.. Always a good time!
I was also able to round up some pretty good lifts the last few days... I kicked things off with a 6am workout on Friday (shoulders).. Once I was able to wake up, I got things pretty dialed in.. The only part of my lift that lagged was my dumbbell shoulder press.. Always a weak area of mine.. Yesterday, I destroyed my legs with heavy squats, single leg press, extensions and adductors.. Calves and Abs followed.. Today, before vegging out on the couch watching golf I trained chest and back... It was a great training session and I'm going to keep the party going with an arm day tomorrow... Yes, comp season for me is over, but this is still a lifestyle and good health comes first!sigpicDarren Conroy

After an amazing week off, I returned to the iron for a welcome back a$$ kicking! what better way to fire things up than with dead lifts? I knew that things would be tough so I paced myself accordingly... I actually turned into a pretty good workout. I have been battling some stresses lately all around and there is nothing better than taking it out on the weights. I am going to remain optimistic as I know that things always having a way of working out the way they are supposed to... If anyone ever doubts themselves, just remember that if you stay positive, work hard, don't give in to the ignorance of others, believe in yourself and finish strong, things will usually work out.. Boom!sigpicDarren Conroy

Another amazing weekend in the books! I had a chance to represent CL at the bodybuilding.com nutrition store on saturday and then returned to the iron game today for traps and delts... It was great taking a couple of days off and returning fresh.. I feel that I'm finally starting to hit my stride again.. baby steps... I am a natural athlete and one of the key values of a natural athlete is patience.. I'm in no rush... I'm happy with my progression, I would like to advance faster, but I'm not going to risk my health to do so... Lots of great things on the horizon!sigpicDarren Conroy

I finally found the workout I was looking for! I have had a few ok ones here and there, but this one finally hit the spot... One of those gut wrenching leg days.. Heavy Dead Lifts, Stiff Legged Deads with dumbbells, Fall Forwards and then hell on my calves and abs.. Oh, know it's gonna hurt tomorrow... I can't wait!
Underestimate me? Go for it! I know my time will come... I will remain humble and focused... Some my have success right out of the gate and let it all go straight to their head.. I will not.. I will keep grinding it out so when I get to the top, I'll be able to bring some balance to this industry... It's not a pissing contest.. Help someone when you can...sigpicDarren Conroy

Back at it for Arms today... Lots of supersets and heavy weights.. All in all a great day! I was able to go a bit heavier on preacher curls today for some reason, so I took advantage of it! I also went a bit heavier on decline dumbbell skull crushers... 6 sets down and off the the chiropractor for my monthly adjustment...
I received my packet from Team 3DMJ today and I'm am excited to get started.. I will be logging my progress as usual and most likely utilizing bodyspace for it (cuz it's the best)... I will be starting up with this new split Monday... Until then, I will be training as usual.. then the fun begins... Just by looking at the workouts I know it's going to test me... I'll finally have the opportunity to find out what I'm truly made of!sigpicDarren Conroy

Day 1 of 3DMJ training... I'd be lying if I said it wasn't intense! I almost feel like I've never lifted weights before... Very uncomfortable... But this sport isn't built on comfort... I know that it's going to have to get my hands a little dirty if I want to make progress... The 5-3-1 standing shoulder press was pretty ugly... I'm still in the process of assessing my capabilities and when incorporating new lifts, it can be slightly challenging... but at the end of the day, I'm wrecked and feeling like I did work... I'll take it!sigpicDarren Conroy

As the weekend comes to a close, I enjoyed a nice rest day friday then on to two great sessions of lifting saturday and sunday... yesterday I trained 5/3/1 chest, back and biceps... Still a very strange split, but my body is taking to it quite nicely.. I have never really enjoyed barbell flat bench, but I am pressing through... Not too sore today, but I'm going right in line with what the plan calls for.. Strength is certainly good and I'm getting used to these strange lifts.. Today was squats, legs and abs.. I started out pretty rusty, but once I got through the first couple sets of warmups, I was on point! I only ended up going up to 295, but they were deep, which has always been an issue for me... Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and start over.. It's not about how much you can lift, it's about how much you look like you can lift in my sport!sigpicDarren Conroy

After three days off from the gym life it was back into the weight room for 5/3/1 chest, followed by back and bi's... I was well rested and the lift was good overall... I ended up hitting all of my numbers and even improved on a few of my 6 rep lifts.. If anyone has ever considered the 5/3/1 training, I would highly recommend it.. I didn't think I would like it, but I am really learning to enjoy it... It's rough, so if you decide to tackle it, be ready.. It hurts! Legs tomorrow!!sigpicDarren Conroy

After another weekend off filled with moving (finally done) I was back into the iron house for a chest and back thrashing.. This week is my "easy" de loading week.. I thought it would be easy, but it's still pretty tough.. I am noticing strength going up though.. This last weekend with my birthday, I didn't stay as committed to my diet as I would like to, but I guess if there is a time to fall off the wagon, it's in the summer for your birthday... It was fun, but my work on the stage is not finished and champions are made in the offseason!sigpicDarren Conroy

Back on it.. Legs! Week 4 3DMJ deload week... Not quite as bad as week 3, but it still hurt.. I'll chalk this one up as a win... I really hope that these efforts pay off next year on stage..
Remember to always stay true to your beliefs.. In the gym, in competition and in life.. Not everyone will understand you, but you have to take it for what it's worth, make the best of what life has for you and understand that you can't fix everything.. If people misunderstand you, don't take it personal, sometimes people are ignorant and sometimes there is just a gap in communication.. Stay true to your roots, smile, work hard and be yourself in every aspect in life...sigpicDarren Conroy
