    Fri, 18 Jan

    Chest and back with one set of shoulders and arms thrown in for 'da heck of it!

    Incline bench and flat flyes-1x15, 1x12, 1x10

    Pull-downs and Seated Rows-same as above

    1 set of 15 of each-overhead press, bb curls, rope extensions

    Notes: went up on back work, but my chest has plateaued. But I also stopped using thermos a couple of days ago since it may have been the cause of my migraines. It had green tea in it and I think that my system cannot handle it.
    Was able to do the bb curls with the 45lb bar for the 1st time! I was excited!
    okay...that's all.

    Had to do the 2 day split thing last week (I loooove my job!) Upper one day, lower the next. The only real differences on upper were that I used BB Bench instead of DB's, T-Bar Rows instead of Seated Rows and I did Preacher Curls. Change is good
    Lower stayed pretty much the same but I had to put a DB between my feet to do the Leg Curls. Forgot how tough those are. I also did Single Leg Presses.
    Started dieting yesterday. I hate dieting. Makes me crabby But being fatter than I want to be makes me crabbier soooo...on with the diet. Today, It's upper body

    Did chest and back with some shoulders thrown in because I felt like it.
    Warmed up with assisted dip/chin machine-2x12 each

    BB Bench press-1x15, 1x12, 1x10
    Flat Flyes-3x15, time to move up in wt

    Seated Rows (someone set up camp at the t-bar)-3x15
    Pulldowns-3x15 (time to move up on this too)

    Front, lateral and side raises-3x10 of each.

    Did some crunches when I got home.

    Notes: Like noted earlier, need to go up in wt on flyes and pulldowns.
    Diet's still here. Day 3 and barely making it. This was the worst week to start dieting (damn hormonal cycles ), but if I can control it this week, then the next three weeks should be a cake walk.
    Tomorrow, either lower body or cardio.

    Only made it to the gym 1 more time last week. Performance was not good because of the hormonal crap.

    Squats 4x10, lunges 2x20, Single-Leg press 4x12, SLDL's 4x10, Leg extensions 4x10, Leg Curls 4x10, Seated and Standing Calves 4x12.
    After all that, I dragged my sorry carcass home and did nothing for the rest of the day.

    Today was much better. Chest and back
    Incline Bench- 4x8
    Flat Flyes-4x10
    Seated Rows-4x12
    Wide grip Pulldowns-4x12

    Notes: Went up in wt on everything today. Did 30 min on the treadmill afterwards. A good workout!

    Yep, the usual hormonal crap. That's my worst week. My joints become achy and I can't push the weight. It sucks!

    Did shoulders and arms yesterday. Pretty much the usual.
    Shoulders: Cable laterals, Overhead DB Press, Rear Delt Raises
    Bi's: DB Curls, Concentration Curls
    Tri's: SkullCrushers, Single Arm Press-downs

    Notes: Need to do something new for shoulders. Oh, went up on overhead presses. Still trying to find my biceps. They're strong, but they're in stealth mode. I can't see them unless I flex. Triceps needed a challenge. The skullcrushers are new to me, and I haven't literally crushed my skull, so they'll stay in the repetoire for now. Change is good

    Day off from the gym today because they're having a power outage. Bastards!

    dat's all folks!

    Okay, I have a little bit of time so back to the journal!
    Been making it to the gym at least 2x a week since my last entry. The job has been kicking my butt and I got fed up with it, so a couple of weeks ago, I just started walking out at 3:00 at least 3x a week to do weights.
    I've also been having an issue with one of my troops. She was in a serious relationship with one of the para-rescue guys that went down in Phillipines last month. So I've been picking up the slack for her.
    My weights haven't been going up, but I'm finally losing some body fat, so I'm just going to keep on with what I'm doing.
    Day 1: Chest and Back
    Day 2: Shoulders & Arms
    Day 3: Legs/Butt/Calves
    Sometimes I'll just do the upper body in one workout when I have the time (like yesterday)

    Also StairMaster or Treadmill depending on how my lower body feels.

    That's it for now...

    When you post reply, go to the attachment thingy at the bottom. It has to be below a certain size to fit.

    Why don't you just email it to everyone on the site? It might be faster.

    Tuesday's Workout-19Mar02

    3x20 on everything 'cause I'm a glutton for punishment

    Squats, SLDL's, Single-Leg Presses, Leg Extensions, Leg Curls, Seated and Standing Calve Raises.
    Hobbled over to the treadmill and walked for 40min before I decided that no matter how bad it was, it was not worth dying on the treadmill over and came home.

    Diet's been going great. I gradually decrease the carb load throughout the day. By dinner, it's just veggies and a protein source. Except for Saturday when I eat all the food I love all day long. The average day looks like this:
    Breakfast: 1 onigiri (rice, egg, ham, tuna wrapped in seaweed), 1 superjuice phyto-nutrient, calcium supplement and a banana
    Snack: apple and a handful of mixed nuts
    Lunch: leftover meat, rice or potatoe and veggie from night before or some rice and beans with more calcium
    Snack: either some crackers and cheese or some fruit if I didn't leave it at home
    Dinner: Salad and meat or cheese (can only take some much chicken), vitamin pack and some acidopholus (sp?)

    Okay, that's it

    Thanks for the compliment. Still trying to figure out if what P-Mas said was a compliment.
