The new routine looks pretty good. I used to use one almost exactly like that one...but I find that full-body routines serve me better these days. Plus I don't get as much DOMS. Good luck.

[Owen]

I like the way you changed your approach to suit your goals. That willingness to adapt is what will keep you moving forward in everythig you do. Very cool.
Good Journal.

[bIgHwN86]

fixationdarkness- really you didn't suffer from DOMS as much....i guess that would be true, since you are always sending blood to every muscle in your body relieving the DOMS..hmm, sounds good...

owen- thanks a lot man, mahalo

[bIgHwN86]

Diet

Training
tried something different:
Jump Rope Intervals- Do 50 jump rope passes then rest for 30 seconds and repeat....each 4 intervals of 50 passes (200 passes) is one set then rest one minute and repeat....continue till you have done 1000 jump rope passes...took me about 15minutes and i was sweating like i had just run 20minutes

abs throughout the day- noticed that i can just lie on the ground and do ab exercises while watchin TV

[bIgHwN86]

ok here is my measurements as of late(6/29/2005)...the next measurements will be in 2 weeks time, so if anyone is curious about my progress they can see my changes every two weeks:

Waist- 48in
Chest- 47in.
Thighs- 32.5in
Biceps- 19.5in
neck- 16.5in
calves- 20.5in

there you go, so those that have seen my diet know my measurements and know that i am a big boy that can afford to lose some of those spare tires...thanks for everyone who has commented on my efforts

i came up with a goal that would keep this lifestyle going...i believe that i would like to compete in amateur bb contest later on in life....

Diet looks pretty good. And don't feel like a noob man, I'm sure you'll be benching lots more with some time. Heck I wish I could bench that much.

And about the full-body routines, like you said the reason I don't get as much DOMS is because I'm always sending blood to all the muscles to recover them but also my volume is pretty low since I'm hitting each muscle directly/indirectly 3x a week. Anyway, good luck.

[bIgHwN86]

thanks dude...i felt like a noob b/c i am so used to westside that this bodybuilding stuff is so new to me again.....i just got to give it some time...i'd do a full body routine but IMHO i don't feel like i get much out of it....but hey if it works, then it works...

[KevinStarke]

Great workouts man, nice squatting up there.

[Owen]

mad at a judge's decision to over rule my high school alma mater admission policy
Whats that all about?

Nice workouts the last couple of days man. Your a strong dood.

Yea Gilads ladies are fine, and hes got good workouts. I use them as warm up routines sometimes.

My journals commin. I just gotta get started with that, Im comin back from a layoff. Its time to get serious.

[bIgHwN86]

Well my high school alma mater's admissions policy (private school, top 3 in the state) is based upon a will by the last princess of the Hawaiian Kingdom. It states that it will give preference to children of Hawaiian ancestry and then if there are remaining seats open and there are no more "qualified" Hawaiian children, non-Hawaiians may enter. At that time (1880-1900) schools were only allowing Caucasions the right to attend schools and if Hawaiians attended schools they were treated second class and usual were never allowed to attend secondary education programs. So the will of our last princess was to right those wrongs and set up a school for Hawaiian children so that they could compete with Caucasions (Americans mostly) in western society (business, law etc...) but even today we are still behind. The judges yesterday overturned a ruling a year ago that my alma mater's admission policy is just because it "rights socio-economic" wrongs caused by the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893 (which by the way, the Hawaiian Kingdom is still recognized in International Laws). Yesterday there was a 2-1 court decision that stated that the admissions policy is unconstitutional. Unconstitutional, my best friend who attended the same high school had less than 1/8th Hawaiian blood in him and the rest was Japanese! That is not discrimination! Is it ? Another friend of mines has 1/4 Hawaiian, the rest is Portuguese! Another 1/16th Hawaiian, the rest is Samoan, Filipino, Puerto Rican, French! My girlfriend is 3/8th Hawaiian and the rest is Chinese! Our valedictorian is Jewish for christ sakes! Tell me that thats discrimination ! That is why I am mad. I would vent out many reasons to why my schools admission policy is just and why it should stand to help my Hawaiian people if it stood but that would be another whole journal to itself...

Anyways thanks guys. Hopefully my string of strength will keep up through my weight/fat loss. I am hoping to play DIII ball as a halfback/OLB so i want to get down in weight and also keep away diabetes and all that bad stuff.

Hmm...Gilads routines as warm-ups? I think just looking at the ladies is warm up for me..haha..

i have to remember to get my running tights clean fast before i go running w/out them and get rash :cry: !....explains my crappy squats

[fixationdarknes]

Dood, 275 on Front Squats is nothing to ugh about lol. A good session man. And why run before you lift? That would tire me out and weaken my lifts.

[bIgHwN86]

i run in the morning...yes i am one of those that run in the morning on an empty stomach....i have about 6-8hrs between those sessions and get in about 2 meals between them.....well for me 275x1 is ugh! last week 275x5 and still felt like i could tie my PR of 315x1...but thats me...huh losing strength to my weight/fat loss

[fixationdarknes]

Ah, I see. I've never really gone on a cut before (I did for a week or two) so I don't know what it's like. But keep lifting heavy and I don't think you should lose much strength at all. You're a beast.

[bIgHwN86]

i hope i don't lose much i am still wondering if i should go out for university football or go rugby club and i would like to keep my strength so that either way i feel confident out on the field....and thanks fix but when you look at it we are at similar strengths just at different weights. Pound for pound we are similar in strength

[fixationdarknes]

Hm, that may be true, but there are advantages to being bigger and heavier. Like football and rugby. I still say you're a beast.

[Owen]

Hey Big all that with your school would be frustrating, I guess those judges think their doing the right thing.

You should play football man! You got the dedication for it. Best OLB? Lawrance Taylor maybe, theres so many. How about mean Joe Green. Lyle Alzado wasnt an OLB but he was baaad. Cant forget him. :strong:

[bIgHwN86]

Thanks fix but no you're da beast!!! hahaha...when i was your age i was thinking about eating not lifting.

Ya thats the problem they THINK they are doing the right thing, when they haven't been through the things my people went through and are still going through....but o well just got to keep truckin on...

I did play football in high school, was an offensive lineman...hated it, no love at all for the things we do....and even when i came back for a second season i had slimmed down and was faster than some D-ends and they still kept me on o-line (granted the coaches were thinking of switching me to fullback/TE) but the iron kept calling and went to powerlifting...

MEAN JOE GREEN!!!!!!!!! now that was a friggin train wrecking monster there...he was the **** i remember seeing highlights of him and he was a BEAST!!!!!!

But in today's football....i say Pittsburgh Foote is good but can't think of many others besides Bruschi and Vrabel..

[fixationdarknes]

Well, I guess we were both wrong in the beginning. I was thinking about lifting and you were thinking about eating. Together, we would have been one crazy bulking machine!

[bIgHwN86]

fix- o yes we would...just that now i wished i started when i was a freshie in High School I would have reached so many strength goals by the time i graduated that it would have been crazy....

well just returned to the land of iron..my beautiful girlfriend came to visit and it was great to have her here....so i took some time off and ****, ate clean and did some physical training things when she was here...
