Enlargement

[TTT]

Getfit, CoCoa, Ryuage, BigMase and Chomer: Cheers, people! Thanks for posting in here. I'm starting to realise what a valuable resource WBB (and its people) has/have been to me. Without you guys, I'd still be going to the gym once or twice a week, and curling and benching every time, and maybe throwing in the odd leg press or extension a couple of times a month. And getting next to zero results. And it was such a chance thing that I found this site, too....




Ok well today I did arms again, but I missed it last week so they really needed it.




ARMS/SHOULDERS
================================================================


MILITARY PRESS:
20kg x 8
35kg x 3
40kg x 5
40kg x 5
Didn't do any better than the last time. But that was two weeks ago.


DB SHOULDER PRESS:
40's x 7!
40's x 7!
(+1R)


CABLE LATERAL RAISE:
3p x 6
3p x 7! (+1R)


CG BENCH:
40kg x 6
50kg x 3
65kg x 1
65kg x 4
60kg x 7
There's a huge weight difference between a couple of the plates on the rack on the bench. I noticed it last week. Today as I was doing the first rep of the 65kg, I almost lost it because of it. There're four plates in total on the rack, and I think they're from two different batches, or something - even though they're all the same brand and supposed weight. Anyway, I fixed it up after this by using the other plate. But it's dangerous. There must be at least a 2 - 3kg difference between them.


CABLE TRI PUSHDOWNS:
13p x 6
(Almost)-Super Mase Dropset:
One-arm Reverse Grip:
6p x 4
5p x 6
4p x 8
I'd never tried reverse-grip pushdowns before, and also never tried these one-armed. How better to do it than all at once? :)


OLY BB CURLS:
27.5kg x 6
27.5kg x 6
27.5kg x 5


CABLE CRUNCHES:
10p x 6
14p x 8
15p x 8! (+1P)
15p x 7


DB SHRUGS:
75's x 8
75's x 11!



I haven't felt such a wicked pump in my arms for months.


================================================================

[Coke]

I noticed that you missed this type work last week, was on the lookout 4 it - :D ...fine effort mate.

[getfit]

NICE! i love millies! great session! :)

[lilmase1153]

bang up job mate.... session looked good

[Canadian Crippler]

That's a lot of volume bro... have you foud your body responds well to this?

[TTT]

Coke: Thanks man. Yeah that was a bit of a pain, but that's ok. Sometimes it's good resting for a bit.

Getfit: Cheers. Yeah I like them too. But not as much as deadlifts.

Mase: Is that an Aussie expression? I've never heard it before :) Thanks anyway!

Cripsta: Well, I guess it's a lot of different exercises... but there's really only two working sets per exercise, with the exception of the curls. (And the dropset). I don't actually know what works best yet, I'm still experimenting.





However, I must be doing something right, because I weighed myself in a Target store today (because I don't have a scale) on a conveniently-unwrapped scale, and I'm up to 95kg!! (~210lbs!!) I'm pretty happy about that. I talked to my mum today and she said "How big do you want to get? What's your goal?" So I said "I don't know. At this stage, as big as possible." And then she started going on about how she doesn't think that's a good idea, because "it's hard to lose weight." :rolleyes: But I'm certainly not taking advice from her.
I can feel it - I'm growing again, and if I keep going the way I'm going, I'm going to be BIG. BIG=fun.

[getfit]

210 wow that's great i can't seem to put on any weight in the summer! it's hard for me to get in my extra calories i just live off ice-cream! hehe! :p

[Stephen Riddington]

210lbs... you're jacked bro!!!!! :)

[Coke]

3T, U are getting huge!!

[TTT]

Getfit: Nothing wrong with ice cream, haha. I think the only change I've made in my diet is drinking more protein. It definitely seems to work.

Chomer: Whoa, no one's ever called me that before! :) However, I think I'm still a long way from being 'jacked.' 210lbs has to go a long way on my frame...

Coke: Thanks man, but I'm not finished yet :)

================================================================

arent you doing pullups for your lats? :confused: thats a good thing, I always try and pretend im pulling with my elbows.

[Coke]

Thats right bro, tear down them walls next time out on the flat bench - doing very nice work throughout.

[Stephen Riddington]

Doing bench and deads on the same session is a good workout.

[lilmase1153]

i dont know if its an aussie expression since i dont know any but i just like to say random things..

anyways cheerio mate bloddy hell of a w/o mate...

[TTT]

Getfit: Thanks! I didn't mind that one, either... :)

Ryuage: Yeah, I'm doing them for my lats. But up until recently, my form still wasn't that great, and I'm only just starting to be able to focus on using my lats more. (Maybe they were too weak before, so I couldn't really use them much, or something). I don't know, really.

Coke: Thanks man. I think it would help if I had a spotter, too. I just don't really want 70kg sitting on my chest...

Chomer: What makes you say that? I'm still basically following a modified version of WBB1, so I guess it should be ok.

Mase: Haha, ok. That was a cool expression, anyway :) And thanks.









Today, my dad found an octopus lying on the sand at the edge of the water (there's a big, flat tidal plain here). It was missing a couple of legs, but it was still alive. If we find another one, we might get an aquarium and have a pet octopus.

[Stephen Riddington]

I said because most people don't do it because both are considered major exercises. And usually limit one major exercise to conserve their energy for the smaller exercises.

[TheGimp]

Damn, things are looking great in here :thumbup:

[chops]

nice work on 210! it's time to get a scale though! :D

mmm octopus = protein :drooling:

[Wikked1]

Still going after those pullups? I'm telling you slap some weight on a belt for a couple weeks and then do them unweighted. You'll blast through and get that 6th rep! :D

[TTT]

Chomer: Oh, ok. Yeah well I'm tough :D

Gimp: Haha, thanks man. Why does everyone suddenly think I'm doing great? I must have reached some critical level or something...

Chops: Yeah, I agree, it's probably time to get a scale... :) And thanks!

Wikked: I've thought about that actually... but I'm not sure how many I could do with any weight added at all.

[TTT]

LEGS.
================================================================



SQUATS:
35kg x 6
45kg x 3
65kg x 5
65kg x 5
Damn, didn't beat my last week's effort. However, I realised that I was in fact lifting 65kg last week as well, while I reported it as 60kg. Must have been some sort of mental block. The little doohickeys that stick onto the ends of the bar to hold the plates on are 2.5kg each, and I forgot to add them.


GM's:
52.5kg x 5
52.5kg x 9!


STANDING CALF RAISE:
100kg x 6!
100kg x 6!

Bumped the weight up a bit. I don't think I'm straining enough on these yet.
Probably why my calves are still small....


HACK SQUATS:
65kg x 6!
65kg x 4


LYING LEG CURLS:
25kg x 7
25kg x 9!





Awesome.


Also, we finally have what appears to be a working washing machine. The guy brought us a new ("new") one, and he started it up, and it was all going fine, and then the pump wasn't pumping water. Anyway, he pulled it apart, and a cane toad had crawled up the drain hole and gotten mutilated in the pump. Such stupid animals, really.
================================================================

[getfit]

sweet! i can never do squats and then hack squats i'd pass out :p great session :)

[Coke]

Super leg day dude, holding it down like I knew you would - ;)

[KiwiBuilder]

Looking good T-Man!

LOL at the Toad. I can understand why the Ockers like playing Cane Toad golf ...

[TTT]

Getfit: Thanks! I'll bet you could, though. The best part is the feeling you get after a set of hacks after squats. I usually have to pull myself up on the power rack, because I can't stand. :) Sometimes you end up sitting down on the barbell, because you can't even get up that far!

Coke: Cheers, man! Wait'll you see next week's session.


Kiwi: Thanks! Now there's a good idea... Cane Toad golf, eh? hmmm.... :angel:

[TTT]

These are the ones that came out of the drainpipe...
Such a cute couple.

[getfit]

[TTT]

Going to do an arms session now. I'm going to rip my PR's from last time apart.

Hey, not bad looking for a couple of Ockers!

[twcolabear]

How was your gym trip?

[TTT]

Getfit: You know they're poisonous though, right?

Matt04: Thanks man!

Kiwi: Oh, I did :) And yeah, I guess they sort of represent about the average look for the Ozzies, haha :D

This was a pretty awesome workout. I worked in on bench with Otto (the gym owner), so I finally had a spotter. Also, he showed me how to do the crunches better (I was using too much ROM, when it's far more effective to use smaller ROM).
And I asked him about his circus time, and he said he used to pull 3000 lbs (a horse) up ladders 3x a day some days for training. Which is pretty amazing.

My arms feel like inflated balloons.

I weighed myself on a really cheap-looking scale in a store today, and it only said around 92-93 kg. So, I don't know which scale is right, or whether I've lost weight.
================================================================
Weigh-in: 92 - 93 kg.

[TTT]

Also, I chucked out the BB curls in favour of Concentration curls, because I just don't think my arms are growing with those BB curls.

[Coke]

The cc curls are better for peaking the biceps...have you tried the bb curls with the ez bar?? I like alternate db curls and as of late have been enjoying doing preachers. The session is pretty good mate.

[TTT]

Yeah, I've tried them with an EZ bar... I guess my arms have gotten a little bit bigger over a few months, but I think they're lagging a bit now. Preachers are good too, might throw some of those in next time. Thanks man.

[TTT]

I forgot to add, I ate almost two whole large pizzas tonight. Got home from the gym late and was pretty hungry. I haven't had fast food in months. Damn it's salty.

good stuff man...keep on doin what your doin

[TTT]

Getfit: Yeah, it's not half bad. I wouldn't mind it if they cut out some of the MSG though.

Stash: Haha. Well I have to get some calories from somewhere, otherwise I'll fade away :)

Guido: That thing looks like a pie! I reckon I could polish off a good one and a half of those.

The leg workout does not look bad bro - even threw some stiffies in the mix, lol.

[TTT]

Thanks getfit, Coke and everyone else who posted before, I'll have to reply later.
Went on a mini-cut (read: food poisoning) the last couple of days, so I missed arms day AGAIN... but anyway I'm going to try to get into the gym today. Also, my cousin and sister are here (who I haven't seen for years), and it looks like they're going with me, so that should be awesome.

[KevinStarke]

Nice leg session

[chops]

how did you get food poisoning? i'm curious, especially because i just took a food safety cert test last week. i hope you feel better!

[TTT]

KevinStarke: Thanks man.

Chops: Thanks! I'm much better now. And I wouldn't have a clue how I got it, but it was pretty nasty.

[TTT]

Got a session in a couple of days ago. Also, went to Fraser Island yesterday, that was awesome. Today I'm heading down South with my cousin.

[MM]

Have fun traveling man.

[getfit]

you were sick TTT don't worry about it! rest and enjoy your time traveling! :)

[Coke]

Damn bro, U about to give Johnny Cash a run for his money - reminds me of the commercial we have here in the states when he is singing "I've been everywhere man, I've been everywhere" - :D ...its great U got the work in.

[Stackattack]

Where are you traveling?

[KevinStarke]

Nice chest/back day man. have fun travelling

[Wikked1]

Still hanging tough with those pullups huh? Way to be persistent man! :thumbup:

[TTT]

MM: Thanks man.

Getfit: Cheers. I'm over the stomach bug now, but I went out for my cousin's 21st on Thursday and now I'm getting over a cold :) I guess you have to let yourself recover a bit more.

Cocoa: Haha, thanks man. I haven't heard that one. I'm trying to keep up the workouts - there's a small gym here, but I won't be here for long...

Stacko: Down the East Coast. Might see you in Sydney if I get a chance to get on the net there...

KS: Cheers man!

Wikked: Thanks! I think I'm sloooowly getting better at them.

[TTT]

I'm going skydiving in two hours! 14,000 feet, 65-second freefall. Should be, um, interesting. I'm afraid of heights.... :D

[getfit]

skydiving holy crap yikes! i so gotta try that one day!:)

[TTT]

Oh boy I'm angry. I just typed out a workout and went to post it and it said I wasn't logged in, and then screwed up. Oh well, it wasn't great anyway.

[TTT]

Yeah, you should Sylvia. Except they just phoned because the weather isn't that great, so it might be cancelled. But if it is, then I should be completely free of this cold by tomorrow :)

[Canadian Crippler]

I would usually say "nice chest/back session bro" but it obviously was not, as you pointed out. Therefore.... dang, sucks about the crappy session bro. It'll come, and enjoy your skydiving :D.

[briancurran01]

damn skydiving? I WOULD NEVER EVER have the ballz to try that. i am TERRIFIED of heights.

are you doing it to try and cure your heights fear?

i am usually fine going up to high places....i just cant get down...lol

[TTT]

Crippy: Ummmmm....... thanks? :D

Big Dawg: You should just try it. It's good for the heart :) I'm afraid of heights too. I just decided to do something scary for once.

[TTT]

Ok I'm typing this stupid session out again. And this time, I'm copying it before I try to post it, so it can't screw me over again.

:hello:
Ok well there was plenty of crazy partying in Sydney, and then we headed down to Canberra and now I'm in Melbourne. Off to Canada on the 13th. Should be cool. Might even catch some of you there for a workout. Sorry I haven't been posting in any of your journals (for those of you who still bother to read this, because I'm sure you can't be bothered when I don't read yours!!) but internet is pretty expensive when you have to go to cafes. So, once I get settled in a bit more in Van, I'll be back to my old ways :)
Hope you're all training hard and keeping it real.

[Stackattack]

Have fun in canada man. I'll be heading there my self relativly shortly.

[getfit]

where will you be in Canada 3T?

[PizDoff]

Van? Come visit the more central area like TO and Montreal!

[TTT]

Stack: Cool, where are you going to be? Too bad I couldn't make it for a workout when I was in your part of town over here, but I was just too busy travelling!

Getfit: I'll be in Vancouver.

Pizdoff: But that doesn't mean I might not travel around a bit :) So you never know, I might catch up with you guys.

[lilmase1153]

damn man i wish i could travel like that.. i bet your having a blast.. good luck 3t and be safe mate

[Stackattack]

I'm going to be in Kamloops, BC. Its about 3.5 hours north-east of Vancouver.

[TTT]

Mase: Thanks man. Yeah, it's pretty cool getting to travel around a bit.

Stack: Cool, how long are you there for?


Well I'm in Van now, and I'll hopefully be posting workouts again.
In fact, I'm going for one now! Results in about an hour and a half. :) To everyone who's been posting in here, don't worry; I'll get to your journals soon enough...

Well as you can see folks, I've had to convert to the dark side of weight measurement, at least for awhile. All the plates here are marked in pounds and kilograms, but they're made as pound-plates, rather than kilogram-plates, so they're weird weights like 20.4kg each and stuff. So, I'm going to have to get used to it.
Can't wait to get back into the PR's. This sucks having to claw back up.
================================================================

[lilmase1153]

yes use our superior (ok maybe not) measurements. anyways good to see you back in the gym 3T and stretch taht hammy out a lil and maybe a nice warm bath to relax it. you dont want a major strain to get in the way of your travels

cheers

Thanks for the concern, but don't worry, it's nothing major. It wasn't really even a strain, more like instant DOMS from not working out for a couple of weeks. :D And also, I'm not really travelling anymore.

Coke:
Thanks man. And boy did it feel good to do some serious lifting again!

Stack:
That's cool, well maybe we can meet up for a workout sometime if I travel up there or you come down here or whatever... and thanks.

Crippy:
Hehe. Yeah, that was an interesting night, all right. That pic's about two years old though. And I looked like I weighed about 70kg.

Getfit:
That's the one!! And I can't wait to start packing on the mass some more. :)



Edit: I guess "instant DOMS" = MS?

[TTT]

Okay, here's one I prepared earlier (on the 29th, to be exact):



ARMS/SHOULDERS:
================================================================


MILITARY PRESS:
45x5
65x3
85x5
85x4


DB SHOULDER PRESS:
35's x 9
35's x 8
The dumbells at this gym have no weights written on them. I don't know how much some of the little bits on the end of them weigh, nor do I know how much the bars themselves weigh. So, because no one puts them back in the right place on the racks, the ones I used could have weighed as much as 40lb each. Who knows....


CABLE LATERAL RAISE:
20x8
25x8
15x9


CG BENCH:
95x4
135x5
135x5


TRI PUSHDOWNS:
80x6
90x9
90x9


CONCn CURLS:
15lbx6
20lbx8
Should have gone heavier. Arms are lagging, I think. Which is kind of weird for me.


CABLE CRUNCHES:
90x7
120x9
150x10
150x8
Stack next time. This wasn't too hard.


DB SHRUGS:
75's x 8
75's x 10


That's all. Little bit of lost strength, but nothing I can't recover in a couple of sessions.

================================================================
Weigh-in: Pretty much bang-on 200.

[getfit]

exactly well done! :)

Woo. North American weights rule.

I be thinking - damn, that is just like TTT - :D

[Wikked1]

Good session my man,if you feel your arms are lagging (which is pretty common among us taller guys) hit them twice a week for a while and if I can be so bold as to suggest swapping to a Bicep/Tricep workout. (My arms still aren't where I want then BUT they are much better when I work them bicep/tricep) and do the back/chest split.

[TTT]

Getfit: I hope so! ;) It shouldn't be a problem. Thanks.

Mix: Well, they'll take a bit of getting used to. In actual fact, I think they feel heavier - the 0.4kg extra on each 45lb plate must make a difference.

Mase: Thanks man! Yep, all's well. Although I have to do yesterday's session today.

Canadian Steve: I'm still here! I'll be here awhile. It's pretty good thanks. A bit busier than I'm used to though. Seems like everyone's trying to drag you around to do stuff, and they're all bound by their calendars and timetables. Totally different lifestyle to what I'm used to.

Coke: Hehe, thanks man. I'll have to download that sometime and see if I like it. I haven't been as many places as he has, though. :)

Wikked: Thanks for the advice dude. I'm actually thinking of switching up the routine soon anyway. So you're saying do a chest/back split, and then legs on a third day? And then another day with just arms? So it's like a 4-day split?










Ok I'm off to the gym very soon. If it's open. Damned public holidays (I guess I won't be saying this when I start working again)... I can't remember what the one yesterday was, but the gym shut early.

This session felt good and intense, despite the decidedly crap pullups and mediocre DB presses. The gym was full. Not much space. There was a girl stretching against the wall who could put her head up to her knee with her leg upright against the wall. There was a guy who I saw for the second time doing what could only be described as full-stack yanks on the cable machine. There was a guy doing dumbell lateral-raise-curls. There was a guy doing sternum crackers. **** me, I should have been a poet.

I'm going golfing tomorrow at 6am. It's now 11pm. I think I'll get some sleep now.
================================================================

[getfit]

yes the bar is 45lbs ;) well done! happy golfing! :)

[Coke]

Nice chest and back effort....may want to try doing less warmup sets on the bench, just a thought mate.

[Wikked1]

Yeah man that's the split. For me it works much better that the BBing standard chest/tri and Back/bi thing. The one thing I must alwasy do is keep a minimum of 2 days in between delt/traps and the chest/back otherwise the second one suffers. But that's me,I say you keep trying something until you find what works best for you and go nuts!

[lilmase1153]

not a bad sesh at all mate.. its always hard getting used to a new gym and new weights its a bit of a mental thing i guess.. once you get acustomed to it where your working out at youll be fine :)

[TTT]

Getfit: Thanks! Yeah, the golfing was great. Got a few pars in, and the standard few writeoffs as well. Good fun though. I managed to lose only one ball the whole round, so I impressed myself :)

Coke: Cheers man! You think two sets is too many? I don't know... They were pretty light...

Wikked: Okay I might try inventing some sort of routine like that soon. Thanks for the help. I'm still gaining weight and muscle on this program, so I'll ride it out till it slows right down (if it slows right down). It might do that once I reach the level I was at before I started travelling again.

Mase: Thanks dude. Yeah I guess I will. The weights are actually slightly heavier, so it makes sense that I'll be able to do less.






Went to Whistler on Thursday. Just got back today (Sunday). I've been travellin' again (no surprises there)! ;)
It was pretty good up there. There was a mountain bike comp on, and we watched a few of the crazies coming down the mountain. One guy did a backflip with a handlebar spin in it. At least two fell off this wooden rail/jump/track stunt setup in the middle of town and injured themselves.
I've never personally seen so many good-looking girls in one concentrated area before, in my entire life. And everyone is absolutely dog-crazy. Amazing. It's like a totally different sub-culture. We just sat on a bench for about an hour watching the people (and their dogs, many of which were dressed up like Christmas presents) go by.

This was a bit of a truncated session. I had the gas from 'Nam. I thought I'd better get out of the gym, so as to avoid damaging the paintwork and/or any rubber machine components nearby. :D

Next time just hang out in there a little longer and clear the place out 3T - :D ...good work bro.

Performed with back parallel to floor and very wide grip, hence the lower weights. Felt awesome.




I've decided I need to up the total reps (either through increased reps, or increased sets for heavy lifts) for most of my lifts. I did this in the last workout and it really helped, I think. Also, I need to start eating, and drinking more whey. I haven't gotten back past the 200lb barrier since a few months ago...

================================================================
Weigh-in: STILL 200 lbs.

[getfit]

:burger: :)

[TTT]

YES, MORE FREAKING EATING!! haha :)

Today I went to a Rodin exhibition at the art gallery, which was pretty cool. I probably got more out of it for having an increased knowledge of human musculature and anatomy from bodybuilding.

Those parallel-to-ground BB rows kick incredible amounts of ass. I think they're better than pullups for my lats, I've never felt the same level of lat DOMS as I have now.

I've decided I'll start swimming, for cardio. I'll try to get in there on the days between workouts. Now the problem will be finding times during the day where the pool isn't filled with screaming little ****ty children.

[twcolabear]

Good Idea!
Swiming is a great workout, and you'll have a really nice back if you do it often ;)
Also get back to martial arts

p.s. I think you should take up horseback riding too, there are not that many men in that sport, but few that are in it are really good

[getfit]

i agree with cola i do alot of swimming during the summer!

plus thinking if horseback riding again i sure miss it! :)

[lilmase1153]

awesome PR 3T congrats mate..

swimming RULES!?!?!?

[TTT]

Thanks guys and girls, I'll definitely start swimming but I don't know about horseriding... it doesn't agree with my head.


Going for a leg session now.

I forgot to mention that I got a notebook to write my lifts in (up until now I'd been using a sheet of paper every workout). What better picture to have on the cover of this thing than a peacock? Haha. It was my grandma's notebook. Honest.

[KiwiBuilder]

...K....!

Haha, good stuff. Have fun big fella.

Oh boy did this session rock hard. I got an enormous endorphin high from it, I felt like helping everyone and everything in sight, and couldn't stop thinking how lucky I am.
It was hot as hell at the gym, so it was pretty hard, but it was really fun. Haven't staggered so much for many a leg workout.

As I was warming up, I caught a girl looking at me three or four times. Every time I looked at her, she looked away super-fast. I then decided to play a game, so I stared at her for most of the five minutes I was on the rowing machine :evillaugh

Nice session man. Seems like you've gained quite a bit of weight too... Good effort all round.

[getfit]

way to go! isn't it the greatest feeling of all well one of them at least! :p

[TTT]

Kiwi: Thanks man. Yeah I didn't choose the notebook, it just so happened she had one with a peacock on the cover. I thought it was quite fitting, considering the contents of the journal ;)

Getfit: Yeah, it was a pretty orgasmic workout alright... now if only they could all be like that!

[Canadian Crippler]

If she was staring at you squatting 135, she likely would have given my a blowjob right there with 275 on my back. ;)

Strong session sucka, keep it up

[Wikked1]

Nice leg day ,and nice work in the rowing dept. SO what did YOU choose to STARE at I wonder?? :evillaugh And they say I'm a level 2 perv!

[Coke]

Couldn't hide your stuff even if you wanted to, lol - leg work is rockin!!

[TTT]

Crip: You wish. And it was when I was on the rowing machine, sucka ;) But thanks.

Wikked: Cheers. I stared her in the eyes. Not continuously, but probably for about 70% of the 5 mins.

Coke: What's that supposed to mean?! Haha. Thanks man.


Was supposed to be swimming today but I haven't found a schedule for the pool yet. Well I have, but it's for later in the year. Fak.

[lilmase1153]

fine leg effort mate.. i know waht you mean about getting a high after a great w/o. nothing beats that feelin IMO

Cheers Mase.

Going for an arm workout now. Fricking tired, so here's hoping it goes ok.

I sent off my grad application just now. Should be a graduate in a couple of months.

I don't know what happened today. I had the fire. I had the mother****ing burning-oil-well fire. I was angered by something.

People are starting to watch me lift. It's fun.

================================================================

[getfit]

great session my friend!


ez bar i think 25lbs!

[Wikked1]

Good session and it's always better (when you are being watched)...especially by hot chics......inspiration to get those extra reps!! Agreed EZBARS are usually 25lbs.

[Canadian Crippler]

How tall are you? If you're 200lbs and under 6'0" I'd imagine your the same size if not bigger than me.

[TTT]

Getfit: Cheers! I liked it too. And thanks for the info.

Wikked: ...especially when you're a level-2 perv, haha. Actually, there were a couple of nice-looking women in there at the time. Thanks man.

Crippy: Unfortunately, no. I'm 6'5", almost 6'6". It takes a lot to make me look bigger. You're quite a bit bigger-looking than I am :D
I might put update pics up in here soon, I just have to find a day when I'm pumped up so I don't look like the twig I am ;)

Going swimming today, hopefully. It'll be interesting to see how many laps (if any) I can do, since I haven't swum (swam? swimmed? stupid English language) in a very, very, very, very long time (excluding the five minutes I did a week ago). Weather has turned to ****.

[lilmase1153]

damn good w/o 3T.. it feels awesome to be in the Zone.. as you were mate

[Teh BDK]

The EZ bar at one gym is 35 pounds. The ez bar at the gym in another town is 16 pounds. I weigh them.

The 35 pound bar is thicker and is silver, the 16 pound one is much shorter and has more narrow grips, too.

But you know...whatever.

[TTT]

Mase: Cheers! :D Luckily, the reason I was kind of pissed will probably mean I'm still pissed off for the next one... so it should happen again.

BDK: That's ****ed. How the hell can you have such a lax industry standard that there can be more than a doubling of weights between supposedly-even bars? Oh well. Whatever.

Had tea in a garden at the house of my grandparents'/mum's friends' house this afternoon. I've never done that before. Quite relaxing.
Except for the fact that I was going to go for a ****ing swim today, and I didn't. Bitchin'.
Chest and back tomorrow. I'm going to rip the **** out of the weights.

[TTT]

Episode II of Todd's Twisted Dreams:

I was in some sort of high school, and the teacher was teaching us this chemical reaction which foamed up like the vinegar/baking soda reaction. Anyway, I realised the stupidity of teaching high school kids a primary-school science experiment. Everyone else seemed transfixed. Then I looked at my watch, which I didn't get (in real life) until 2nd year of university, so I couldn't possibly have had it at high school. The second hand had fallen off, and was rattling around inside the case.
I picked up the bucket of chemical gunk afterwards and tipped it down a garbarator.

[getfit]

pretty funky dream! :D

I'm a bit funky myself.

CHEST/BACK
================================================================


INCLINE BB BENCH:
45x5
105x3
125x7
Had to use this first, since the gym only has one bench and it was in use. One of the guys using it was pushing 85lbs, which reminded me of the time I was using that weight. Good for him.


FLAT BB BENCH:
155x4
135x8
Chest was a bit fried even from that one incline set. I'm not used to inclines.


PULLUPS:
BW x 6
Bleh. I'm throwing these out of my routine. They don't engage my lats and I'm just not improving on them at all. I'll start doing more rows and maybe some T-bars, and see how I go at these again in a few months.


DEADS:
135x5
185x3
225x5
225x5 (or was it 6?? I'm not sure, I was too elated with doing another 5)
Progressing nicely. Switched to mixed grip halfway through the second set, which I've never tried before. I like it. But most of the time, I don't need it.


PARALLEL BB ROWS:
115x7!
115x6.9!
115x5.8
I think these are what are going to make my lats grow.


INCLINE DB PRESS:
Skipped, the gym was full and I was a bit shagged after the deadlifts. More cardio for me!! Might actually get my ass into gear and go for a swim tomorrow, we shall see. Everyone keeps organising stuff for me to do, which is nice of them, but it's rather annoying at the same time, because I never end up being able to plan when I want to do stuff myself.
================================================================
Weigh-in: STILLLLLL 200lbs. ****. I'm going to have to literally start eating horses soon. I need some trail mix, that stuff seemed to work before. Bags and bags of it. Maybe I should just buy one of the bins they sell it in in the shops.

[TTT]

Oh, and I heard what I didn't want to hear today, from my uncle: (DUN DUN DUNNNN....)

"You've lost weight!"


Mother ****ing **** **** ****ing hell. Damn it.
I'm still at the same weight though, so maybe I lost some fat, who knows. Maybe it was the shirt I was wearing. In any case, I was angry. I'm already eating enough that I'm full for the entire day.

[TTT]

AND someone deleted my "1337 Cereal" thread in General Chat. I can't believe it. Why would anyone do that? ;)

[Coke]

Its good to stay busy like you do 3T - ;) ...Having such a large frame to fill out could easily get trying at times, keep at it - you will find what works best and look awfully dangerous when you do.

Thanks Cocoa. Don't worry, I will - I'm going to look very dangerous indeed :D

Took some pics awhile ago, will post those up soon.

Today I went sailing in the harbour with my sister (who's recently returned from Korea) and her friend. That was pretty cool, we learned a bit about all the lines and ropes and sail folding and sailing.
Then we got McDick's for dinner. As we pulled up to the collection part of the drive-thru, one of the girls told the other what to put in our bag. We were within earshot as the other girl said "What, ALL OF IT?" :D I was pleased in my own twisted sort of way.

I'm going swimming tomorrow if the sky falls and I break my leg and my bank goes under and the stock market crashes and someone tries to murder me and my watch stops and my heart stops and America starts nuclear armageddon and an earthquake wipes out the gym.

Are your legs failing or is in mental failure? Endurance issues? I know I can't squat for **** when my endurance is shot.

[MixmasterNash]

STIFFIES:

I thought we went over this before; this is not the term of the art that you want. :D

[Wikked1]

Keep working at it your squats will come around. Throw some walking lunges in there if you really want to punish your quads!

[lilmase1153]

3T quads will come in. i say go fro heavier weight and lower reps. get your strength up a bit in them and stand back and watch you and your strength grow

[TTT]

Getfit: Cheers. I hope so :)

Galileo: Good to see you in here, man! I think it might be both, actually. I might start eating a huge load of carbs before workouts from now on, and see if that helps. I've never gone to failure on squats, even though I do them in a cage, so I should try and see just how far it is...

Mix: No way. Stiffies are the correct name for that movement. Wait until you see a girl doing them.

Wikked: Funny you should say that - I was just thinking about incorporating either split squats or walking lunges into my routine :)

Mase: I might try that. Might play around with heavy squats and light leg presses/lunges, and vice versa. Or something like that.

[TTT]

Today I went swimming, just like I said I would. This journal makes for amazing
motivation.

I did something like 15-20 laps, with decent breaks in between them. It's amazing how much it kicks your ass if you haven't done it in awhile. I don't think I could do more than 2 laps at a stretch of any stroke except backstroke or sidestroke, and even then I'd probably only be able to do 3 or 4.
After (and in between), I played around on the little floaty things in the pool, and dived. I also went on the waterslide. That was exciting, particularly because it was designed for little kids a quarter of my height, so that my hip was level with the top edge of the side railing, meaning I almost went over the edge on the tight curve (a good way up in the air, too) :D

[TTT]

I almost forgot to mention that the all-female lifeguard team were absolutely amazing. Seriously.

[Teh BDK]

I bet they thought you were adorable playing with the kids' toys in the pool, too.

[TTT]

Especially since I was wearing a bonnet and my best pair of frilly boardshorts.

[TTT]

Actually, I needed to use the toys a couple of times, otherwise I would have nearly drowned...

[lilmase1153]

sounds like you had a great time 3T.. and yes swimming is a great w/o when actually doing laps

[MixmasterNash]

LOL, good point on the "stiffies."

Also, if you try to drown, maybe the lifeguards will rescue you.

[galileo]

Swim muscles rule.

[getfit]

lol@ bonnet :D

[getfit]

actually i was thinking of those bonnets they used to wear in the victorian times :)

[TTT]

Mase: Yeah, it was pretty damned good, thanks. I think it'll be a regular event from now on.

Mix: Well.... then I'd look like I wasn't an Olympic swimmer. Haha. I'd be lucky if I could swim as fast as those people can kick with their arms tied behind their backs at the moment.

Gal: I hope so. :D

Getfit: So was I.....







So, today I had a job interview for a drugstore nearby. It seemed to go ok, although I haven't had any retail or sales experience, so some of the questions got a bit hairy.
In five days, I have to take an aptitude test. I'm going to have to re-learn how to do maths on paper. ****, I can't even remember how to add on paper, let alone how to do long division or big multiplications. Can anyone here still do paper maths?
Anyway, it's apparently going to be all kinds of random questions and then a Wonderlic test or whatever they're called. Pretty standard stuff.

Tonight I got to see my cousin for the first time in about two and a half years, but she's leaving again for uni on the other side of the country in a couple of days. Oh well.

Might go biking with my sister tomorrow, that should be good. Need to get a helmet.

Also, an arms&shoulders session is on the cards. Was supposed to happen today but never materialized.

Don't know what I'll do once I'm doing 15+ reps on these... might have to switch to weighted decline situps.



The pool's closed for awhile. No more swimming for a couple of weeks.
================================================================

[getfit]

nice work! our pool is still open and i was there today ;) :D

[TTT]

Heh. This one's just closed for two weeks for annual maintenance, and then it's open all year :p

[Coke]

Too bad 3T, thats a little untimely for them to be closing the pool up right now cause you were swimming like a fish just the other day...arm and shoulder session looking tight bro.

[TTT]

Yeah, well.... only another week and a half and she'll be right :)
Thanks man.




Went to a party that my sister's friends had in a bar/restaurant last night. Lots of beautiful girls, including the waitresses. Vancouver has a lot of very nice-looking girls. LOTS. But nothing has come of it, yet.


Tomorrow will be interesting, as I'm going to be going out partying AGAIN tonight. I was supposed to be doing chest/back tomorrow. I'll have to see how I feel.

[getfit]

partying huh! ;)

i need to party more!

[TTT]

Partying is heroin for the soul.



Just went on a 2-hour bike ride around the city. That was cool. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be, even going up hills. I think squatting has increased my vertical wheelie :D

Chest/back coming right up.

[getfit]

i like that partying is heroin for the soul! SWEET!



:D

[TTT]

i like that partying is heroin for the soul! SWEET!



:D


As sweet as a lollypop stolen from a baby?

[getfit]

As sweet as a lollypop stolen from a baby?
sweeter :D

[TTT]

Hot diggity damn.











Check this **** out. I'm starting to look like Jabba the Hutt himself.
But I still don't have the whole female sex-slave and massive, gluttonous feast/orgy thing going for me. Oh well.

[Stackattack]

Looking good T. How much are you weighing now?

[Coke]

These pics are good TTT, U are on the right path - ;)

[Wikked1]

Chicken Legs? NAW HELL NO!!!,chickens don't have hair like that !! :D
Back is starting to show some nice definition man!

[TTT]

Stack: Cheers dude. I am the master of isocaloric eating. Except it's subconscious mastery, and not by choice. I'm still 205lbs, despite my best efforts to gain. I sorely need to find some more energy-dense foods...

Coke: Thanks man. I hope so. I'm starting to get more active with stuff like swimming (when it comes back online) and biking, so hopefully I can drop some fat and gain muscle at the same time. I've done it before. Well, it might not be happening at exactly the same time, but I can do it within the timespan of a week, anyway.

Wikked: Unless they're Flinders' Hairy Chickens from the Galapagos Islands. Trust me, it's a documented species. Thanks, yeah it's slowly coming up, but as I said, the weight just isn't there...






I'm having a curl-jockey week this week. No back, chest or leg exercises. I missed the session on Monday, and I'm missing the leg session today. I'll do arms and shoulders on Friday. Taking a break. Still going biking again tomorrow, though. Last time I did kind of like a HIIT-style ride, sprinting forwards and then braking all the time, so hopefully it's not quite as bad for my weight gaining as constant, even-effort stuff is. We shall see.

[TTT]

Biked again today for around about 2.5 hours. Went around Stanley Park and along the sea wall, then back up home. I should get an odometer for the bike, but I'd estimate it at around, say, 10-15km total.
Apparently I'm also going to yoga tomorrow, which should be interesting.

[getfit]

yoga is hard T! if you haven't done it before! :)

[Kiaran]

2.5 hours biking is no joke dude. Nice work on the cardio! Pics are looking solid too man, keep truckin'.

[Wikked1]

Don't obsess to much over the scale dude a lot of physical changes can't be measured by the scale at all.

[TTT]

Getfit: Yeah, that's what I've heard. Should be good, though. I wouldn't mind gaining more flexibility. :D

Kiaran: Cheers man, and thanks for posting here. Actually, on further thinking, it was about 2 hours of actual riding and 1/2 an hour for lunch. However, I guess if we were averaging 20kph, it was probably more like 30-40km total, although that seems a bit high. Let's call it 20-25. Stopping in traffic takes a lot of time too. :)

Wikked: Indeed, you're right. I've already lost a lot of my fat (I have some sort of crazy metabolism where I can drop, say, 2-3% fat in about 2-3 days of under-maintenance eating and decent exercise). Or at least, it seems like it. I don't think the muscles have taken a hit, either. We'll see. I may as well turn this week into a minicut and then crank back into the bulking next week, when I'll be weight training again.

[getfit]

so did you go to your yoga class :D

[Hatred]

Yoga....you pussy. Next you're going to be getting hot yogurt enemas.

[getfit]

Yoga....you pussy. Next you're going to be getting hot yogurt enemas.
lmao! yoga is pretty hard!

[TTT]

Sylvia: It's in an hour and a half :)

Josh: My sister wanted me to go (not for that reason)....
And hey, you never know... there might be some damned fine ladies there. As a matter of fact, I'd bet you a hot yogurt enema there will be.

[Canadian Crippler]

If I was older I'd definitely be hitting up the yoga, lots of fine ladies in there mid to late 20s.

[lilmase1153]

pics look great 3T. i cant believe your only 205 you look much larger than taht (in a good way)

now go have a great curl jockey session

[TTT]

Mitch: And you'd be right :)

Yoga was pretty intense. If you think it's easy, you're mistaken. I'd rate it up there with the biking I did yesterday in terms of cardio/endurance work.
Not ideal for putting on massive amounts of muscle, but it certainly made me sweat like ****.
Two ladies, probably in their late 20's/early 30's, were trying to rip into me at the end. They had killer bodies. It was great :D

Might be biking again tomorrow. With all this cardio, I'm trying to take in even more protein in an attempt to preserve what little muscle mass I've built up over the last ~11 months. Hopefully it'll work.

[TTT]

Unfortunately Mase, I didn't do arms today, because I knew I wouldn't last the yoga session if I did. It was just as well. After that many upward/downward 'dogs,' your arms and shoulders kind of take a beating. It's kind of like holding 1/2-way-pushup position for a long time. Which, incidentally, was a punishment my Intermediate-school teachers used to administer to students, in front of a full assembly of kids. :D

Edit: the bulk is all in the photography, man, it's all in the angles and lighting :) I'm down to about 200 now. I think I've dropped around 2% BF already.

[lilmase1153]

damn 200. now your making me feel fat im almost 200 but a full foot shorter :(


yeah yoga is cool i got into about a year ago and found it really really relaxing and calming for me. which i need in my life with a crazy family, friends, and such.

[TTT]

Yeah I'm pretty relaxed right now myself.... must be something to do with the slowness of it. Plus we did this meditation thing at the end.

You might be the same weight and a foot shorter, but check out your lifts, man. Then you'll see why you're the same weight and a full foot shorter. :D



Fack it, I was going to use my 2000th post to post something awesome. Now I don't know where it went. It could have been squandered on anything...
It's like a woman not knowing who the father of her child is, or something like that...
Or maybe I'm just too tired, and I need to get some frigging sleep right NOW. Goddamned gardeners came at 7:30 this morning, fired up their leaf-blowers and weedeaters, and blasted the hell out of everything for an hour and a half, then left. Don't they know some people aren't working!!?? :rolleyes:

[lilmase1153]

well i would still like some of your height unless your gonna use it all that is :D

oh yeha i love your avatar

EDIT: i did the same thing with my 3000th post. it was a sad sad day :cry:

[getfit]

haha! gardeners start at 4 am here trust me sometimes i want to take the water hose and scare them away! :p

[Kiaran]

What are you doing for your Protein intake T? Shakes, eggs, Whey?

[TTT]

Mase: I like being tall, but sometimes it's a pain in the ass.
I found the avatar randomly on google.

Getfit: That's just ****ing nasty. I think I'd be taking more than the hose to scare them away.... :p

Kiaran: Pretty much everything. Whole food mostly, but I'm trying to get in 3 servings of whey a day too.







Went out on the town tonight/this morning. Went to some place where a frat party, or something like it, was apparently happening. Weird crowd, weird music, weirder atmosphere. It wasn't all bad though. There were a few nice-looking girls there. Then we came home on the bus, and met a funny guy who spoke about four or five languages, and also a girl who sat beside us who's studying to become a journalist. My sister thinks the girl was interested in me, and wondered why I didn't ask for her number. I said I didn't talk to her enough, because I wasn't in the seat beside her, and it was loud. Typical situation there, no surprises....
Go me.

[lilmase1153]

youll bag one next time 3T.

just get some liquid courage in ya and you'll be alright :)

[TTT]

It would also appear that my legs have exploded. I can hardly fit into my jeans (which a few days ago, were baggy) with my wallet in the pocket. And it ain't no fat, either. Which leads me to believe that either:

(a) cycling gives your legs a pump which lasts for more than a day;
or
(b) it's actually increased the size of them.

In any case, I'm considerably leaner than I was a week ago, and I'm happy with that. On Monday, the bulk starts again. God this is going to be painful.

[TTT]

youll bag one next time 3T.

just get some liquid courage in ya and you'll be alright :)

I'd only had one beer. Maybe that was problematic. Although I think girls prefer sober guys. :)

I'm not really trying to pick up anyway. **** 'em. They can come to me. And then I will reject them.

[getfit]

sober is better! and sure girls should come to you why not! never stopped me :D

[Stackattack]

Liquid confidence is awesome. The chicks totally dig me when i'm in abusiverudea$$hole mode :evillaugh . Hows canada going? only 4 months until i'm over there too.

[TTT]

Sylvia: You're right.

Stack: It's good thanks, that'll be cool - maybe we can hit up the gym sometime.




**** I'm pissed off right now. The gym shuts today at 4:30pm. I got out of bed at 11:30am today. And I did absolutely nothing all day. And then I was getting ready to go at about 3, and my grandparents wanted to go for a walk and get some ice cream. So I went with them. On the way back, I checked when the gym shuts (it's Labour Day). I have no one to blame except myself for not getting off my ass earlier, and it makes me very angry.
Tomorrow morning's going to be an ace deadlift session, I can see it now.

[lilmase1153]

taht right 3T take out your aggression on some weights..

besides relax big guy or go for a swim :)

One of the mods in general chat doesn't like me.
First they deleted my 1337 cereal thread.
Now they've deleted a post in an old thread on 'A Short History of Medicine" or something like that. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's irrelevant.

I can't go for a swim because the pool's closed till the 17th. I don't have anyone to play golf with. I'm going to the gym.

Today was a very eventful day, and kind of different.
Went out for lunch with my grandma, and on the way, we saw what looked like a typical 3-car accident at an intersection nearby. As we crossed, we got to talking with a stranger, and she'd seen the accident. Apparently, a young guy who'd crossed the street had been hit and killed. You just can't take life for granted....
Then I got to the gym, and it was an ace session.
Then I got back, and found that there was a phone message for me. I got the job I applied for, which is awesome. Should (hopefully) be a good place to work. Will probably start sometime next week.

Anyway, that's that.

================================================================
Weigh-in: Sittin' pretty at around 202lbs. I can see some delt separation, and I lost a bit of fat from my legs and midsection. Now it's time to eat like never before. I am going to eat like Crippy and Hatred on steroids after they go to a bong party.

[getfit]

sweet deads T awesome work


ya an old lady got hit by a bus just 2 days ago down the street from me they placed flowers all around that section it broke my heart seeing that :(

[TTT]

Yeah, it's sad alright. I think an old lady got hit in that same area a few months ago, too.

Thanks!!! Hot damn, you're fast :cool:

[lilmase1153]

3T that whole w/o kicked sooo much ass mate.. grats on the dead PR and job

things are looking up for you so dont take it forgranted.

[Coke]

Congrats on landing that job TTT, may slow you down a bit which may be good, lol...nice chest and back workout.

[TTT]

Mase: Thanks man. Don't you take it for granted either :)

Coke: Cheers! Nah, it won't slow me down at all. I'm just slow naturally...



I also changed my avatar because the cannons look kind of like "TTT."

[Stackattack]

Stack: It's good thanks, that'll be cool - maybe we can hit up the gym sometime.
Yeah T3 that would be sweet. WBB members are going to be the only people i know (or semi-know) in Canada, other than my parents/brother.

Ace deads BTW. I remember being stuck at 220 for ages but once i got past there things started moving very quickly. I'd say that for me it was mostly a mental thing, anything over 100kg just seemed too heavy. I think you'll hit 300+ in no time at all.

[TTT]

Thanks, Stack. That'd be cool to meet up with ya.


Ok well I'm off for a legs session soon.


I had a totally futarded dream last night. I was adrift on a small raft in the middle of an ocean. I somehow knew that this ocean was infinitely wide, long and deep. Considering that I had a bird's-eye view of myself on the ocean, and that the sun reflecting off the surface prevented me from seeing how deep it was, that was pretty ridiculous. But at least I couldn't see anything on the horizon.
Then I saw a whole bunch of green tentacle-like seaweed coming up from underneath, which was kind of creepy. It must have been like 10000 miles tall, considering the depth of the ocean. Anyway, there was this forest of seaweed EVERYWHERE. As in, it occupied almost every cubic centimetre of water as far as I could see.

[getfit]

oh dear! scary

Actually, it was kind of cool.

This was from yesterday.

Got into the gym for free because there was construction going on earlier, so they didn't punch my card. The guys had left by the time I got down there, so I ended up with an extra gym session and a free pair of earplugs.





Last night I went out to a med school party with my sister's friend who's in med school, and my sister. I can't even describe the girls there.
Got back at 1am. Got to sleep at 2am. Got up for orientation day for work at 6:30.
Got dragged out to a one-man play tonight which wasn't amazing, then for dinner.

I'm not in the best mood right now.

Cash register 'skills' tomorrow. I can't wait.
================================================================

[lilmase1153]

Great leg w/o mate, good luck on training i know how boring that stuff can be.

[getfit]

nice work T! :)

[TTT]

Thanks Mase & Sylvia.



Frig the training was intense. I've never used a cash register before, and that's what today was all about. There must be about 50 different functions you have to remember, and where to put the receipts, and what to check for on cheques and credit cards, and where to put the cash, and where to take the cash, and how to call for cash, and what should be signed by whom, and 100 bajillion permutations of events. It would seem.
Other than that, it went ok.
I was going to do arms and shoulders tonight but it'll have to wait till tomorrow, I'm going out for dinner. Luckily, training doesn't start till 1:30pm tomorrow, so I'll go in the morning. It finishes at 10pm..... :mad:

[TTT]

Fak it.
Woke up at 7:30am, went back to sleep for another 3/4 of an hour, then had to look over stuff for work training, then realized that, although I'd planned to have a good four hours in which to go to the gym and sort out stuff with the bank, I now had only one hour. So I didn't go to the gym this morning. Training ran till 10:30.
The girl I sat beside for the entire 3 days was really cute; as per usual, nothing happened. Although she was being very friendly towards the end... but I couldn't do much because it was work training, not a ****ing pub.
As it was getting near leaving time, one of the girls from the front row asked me if I'd ever been told that I looked like a famous hockey player. So I said no. Then she said "You look like Todd Bertuzzi" (or however you spell his name).
The guy then called me up to get a piece of uniform, and of course they go "OMG your name's Todd!?!?!? WTF LOLZZ!!11!! It really is him!!!" Which is odd, considering they'd already called me by name a couple of times without saying anything.
So I go "yeah, that's right." Bishes.


So anyway, I'm hoping to get a session in tomorrow, I'll be mightily disappointed if I don't. I'm also hoping to get in a bike ride afterwards.

[TTT]

Work test scores:

I don't care if you think this is a stupid journal entry, it's for me. Because I stopped keeping a written journal last year.

[lilmase1153]

Altight 3T is pimpin it. you know in canada looking like a hockey player can have its advantages ya know. way to go on the test tahts awesome but im only gonna say this once.






Get yo ass back in the gym F00 :D

[TTT]

Well maybe you're right. But I know nothing about hockey :) Thanks man.
I did indeed get my ass back in there today:

[TTT]

ARMS/SHOULDERS:
================================================================


The gym was packed, and this was not helped by the fact that there's construction going on. I couldn't get on the rowing machine or even a bike or treadmill to warm up.

DB SHOULDER PRESS:

35's x 3
45's x 8!!
45's x 6
45's x 4
40's x 3
35's x 2.5
Felt a bit of a twinge in my right lower back on the last rep about halfway up, so I let the bells down. I've never done a superset on this exercise before, so maybe my back wasn't used to the continuous strain, plus I was probably involving it more than I should to get the extra reps out. Anyway, it didn't bother me again for the rest of the workout, and it's fine now, but we'll see how it feels tomorrow.


CG BENCH:
135x7
135x8!

Had to wait about 10 mins for the bench. Every other piece of equipment was taken, too, so I had no option.

My arms are lagging, so I'm going to hit them extra hard for awhile. Odd, that. They used to be my best parts, now they're wayyy behind my legs. I think. From what little I understand about proportions in bodybuilding.

Finally I felt like I was actually working my traps doing these, instead of jerking around like a spaz on crystal meth. I think it takes more practice to get the form down on these than you'd think. For me, anyway. Because I'm special.
================================================================
I think I'm around 205lbs now. I really need to eat, but I can't seem to stuff enough down to do anything. Trail mix and pizza for me.

[getfit]

lol@spaz on crystal meth!

nice work T

[Stackattack]

Did you have a tough time finding a job in canada?
Nice workout. Tones of volume on those hammers.

[Coke]

Just because you've been damn near everywhere, don't make you special - :D ...seriously though, nice session 3T.

[Wikked1]

LMFAO it's always something that's lagging behind (unless your name is CHASE or HATRED) that is. Nice work and yeah man you sure do log some miles! What is it you do?

[TTT]

Sylvia: Thanks!

Stack: Thanks man. I wouldn't say it's hard to find a job here, but it depends what you're going to do. I think there's a major shortage of skilled labourers and tradesmen and stuff like that, but I don't think there's much opening for scientists, etc. It should be easy to find a job in a restaurant or store or whatever, if that's what you're looking for.

Coke: Thanks! Yeah, you're right. But it did take me longer than an average person to figure out how to do them. Maybe I was using too much/little weight before.

Wikked: So true, so true... How come everyone thinks I'm STILL travelling? I've been (almost) stationary for a HUGE ~3 months now.... :D
As for what I do.... well I'm supposed to be a scientist, but I don't know whether I want to do a post-grad degree or not. For the moment, I'm just going to work in a drugstore for awhile and save up some pingers. Then I might consider it. Or not.






Didn't go cycling today because the fire in the bog in Delta's still making the city all smokey. And the weather was ****ty.
Last night I had another ****ed-up dream where I was riding my old motorbike (which I don't have anymore) along a beach. Anyway, I was with someone, my dad I think, on another bike. And the other person goes "LOOK OUT!" So then I turned around, and there were all these wild African animals and stuff you'd normally see in a zoo, and somehow they appeared as if out of nowhere - they were just flooding out of what appeared to be a rift in the space-time continuum on the beach. Or something. They'd all be merged together and then they'd differentiate into their various beings, and start running away from this portal thingo. And then I saw that a skunk which had come out of the portal (we'll call it) was running towards me. This particular skunk was at least as big as my motorbike, probably up to about my waist or higher, and ferocious-looking, with big white canines and a nasty, snarly appearance. (Where my mind comes up with this ****, I don't know...) So anyway, I gun my bike, but it takes off reeeeeaaaaalllly slowly, and this thing is gaining on me. It runs like a deranged hunchback, all ungainly and lop-sided and off-balance, its feet padding along the packed sand in an uneven rhythm. It's about to launch off from its hind legs into the air towards the back of my bike.... and then I wake up. It would have been interesting to see what happened, it's a shame I woke up, really.


Anyway, tomorrow I go in for 5 hours at the new job. Wish me luck everyone, I'm going to need it in order to escape harassment from the stream of elderly pensioners who queue at the sales dept's and/or checkouts.

And my computer's really starting to piss me off. The sound keeps cutting out on it. I'll reboot it and be listening to a song on it, and then all of a sudden, *SCHRCHKEWZZZKPTFFTPQQQDZKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
That's what it sounds like. I am not impressed.

[galileo]

Good luck on the job. Quit being a slacker.

Your dream sounds like you been watchin too much TV there T :D Nice shoulder session, btw and those Close Grips are outstanding. I think I may toss shrugs into the mix and see how they work out. Good luck with the job!

[TTT]

Getfit: Thanks. Yeah science is cool, but I just don't know whether I want to get into it as a career. Especially not in NZ, where they pay you $13 an hour for the rest of your life, despite the fact you worked for four years (or more) to get an education. The government there doesn't have its priorities sorted. Might be different here, though.

Ryuage: Thanks, man!

Gal: Who are you calling a slacker, little man? Get back into your cage. :D

Kiaran: Haha, ironically, I don't watch TV much at all, maybe an hour a week. If that.
And only for the news. I haven't found a single good program on TV since I was about 12 years old. Thanks dude, I don't know if 'outstanding' is a word I'd use to describe them, but I guess they're ok considering the rest of my lifts. Yeah, try the shrugs, they're good.







I just used fitday for the first time in about six months, and to my astonishment, I've been living on (on average) about a 25:50:25 PFC ratio for a long time, I think. When I type in my 'average' diet for the last few weeks, anyway. In fact, I think it was MORE than 50% fat. Which is incredible, because I've still been gaining a bit of muscle, and haven't put on any fat, really. I've only been taking in around 4000-4500 Cals a day though, which simply isn't enough. I think I need about 5000 now to gain. I haven't put on weight for about 3 weeks. At least now I have a ballpark figure - I should have tried fitday again ages ago. Need more protein %, though. Obviously. **** it.

i uderstand T! my brother actually educates me on things i never knew about !so it's kinda interesting and he keeps my mind occupied!

[lilmase1153]

Great w/o WAY BACK THERE :) and i never knew you were such a nerd :p

[TTT]

Sylvia: That's cool. I need someone to do that too ;)

Mase: Thanks dude. Nerds will inherit the earth. And yeah, I guess my imagination is pretty active. As for the workouts....





****ity **** ****y ****. I have a cold. It started on my first day at work on Thursday, allowing me about 3 hours' sleep, and it has really set its claws today, so I'm just riding it out and hoping it'll be gone tomorrow. I really want to train again tomorrow, but we'll see how it goes. I guess it's just my immune system's way of saying, "you stupid moron, this is what you get for travelling somewhere you haven't been for 2 years and expecting me to respond normally." Or something like that. If it could talk. Which it can't. So this is effectively a ridiculous statement.

Wishin U the best 3T - good luck with it all...just get some rest, lol.
