Well my leg portion was great, and I'm stoked that I'm still makin' gains. My upperbody didn't please me as much. I think that its a combination of the Tetanus Shot I had yesterday, and the fact that I hurt my forearm. My upperbody stuff just didn't seem as explosive.

+5 on squats aint nothin' to complain about man.

[Chubrock]

Thanks Patty. Yeah, I'm def. happy that I'm making such gains on my lowerbody, but I just wish my upperbody was the same way HAHA. Oh well, I'll just have to work harder.

[ryuage]

Today was my relaxed diet day, so I ate me some Mexican Food. Good lord that stuff was good. I had to make all my other meals pretty healthy though to make up for all the fat in the mexican food. At the end of the day though, my totals were pretty dag on good.

Overall I was pumped up for this workout. I was ready to lift, especially after not bein' able to lift since Friday. I think my bench will be able to move up by Friday, as well as more of the exercises. On another note, I finally have a lifting partner again.


My weight today was 164, which pretty much makes me right on target with the 1lb per week goal I set. Fat levels don't look to have gone up any, and I'm def. seeing the strength gains.

Well, overall, my totals were fairly good. My protein could have been up slightly, as well as my calories, but still a good day.


Bad news- I pulled my groin again during my tennis match. I'm supposed to lift tommorow, but I'm going to have to call that off. Hopefully everything will feel good, and I'll be able to lift Thru. and then Fri.

[JustinF]

Ouch. Is it a serious pull? Those suck.

[Chubrock]

Nah, it's not really that bad. It just mainly hurts when I'm in a dead run and my legs are stretched out. It doesn't hurt that much this morning, it's just slightly tender. I should be pretty much good to go by tommorow or Friday at the latest.

[ryuage]

hows the diet working.. you gaining weight?

[Chubrock]

Diets going pretty good ryuage. Since I decided to start bulking about a month ago, I've put on 4-5lbs and I think most of its muscle. I haven't ever had my bf% measured, but from what I can tell in the mirror, it seems to be holding pretty steady. I'm def. making good lift gains, so as of right now I'm extremely happy.

Pretty good totals today. Not bad, but not extraordinary. Pretty solid though.



Well, I wasn't supposed to workout today, but I had to go spot a friend during his workout. I got in there and I just had to do something, so I decided to max out on bench. When I first started lifting, I couldn't even 135lbs up. Today I did 155 x 1, 165 x 1, 175 x 1, but I couldn't get 185 for one rep. I didn't try 180 but I'm pretty sure I could get it. 175 went up pretty easy with just a little pause on the lockout.
I'm pretty happy though with my max.

Congrats on the PR.

[Chubrock]

Thank ya Patty, lol I know it ain't nothin' like 290lbs but I'm proud of it.

[JustinF]

Nice work on the PR man!

[Chubrock]

Thanks JustinF. The closest I've ever been to 175lbs was back in the tenth grade. I was only able to get 170lbs back then, but the kicker is, I weighed 240lbs. So with regards to body weight, my strength has gone up drastically.

Not bad. Fat was a little higher than usual today, but nothing to worry about. I've been eating a helluva lot of raisans lately. My school cafeteria allows you to get two boxes with your meal, so I always get them and save them. Great stuff.

Didn't move up on anything today, but that's fine with me. The workout felt good, and I may be ready to move up on a few select lifts by Sat.


I have a tennis match tommorow. It's against pretty much the eastern half of the state. I'm ready for it.


Quote of the Day-"Tommorow, we go to war."

[Chubrock]

Well guys, I've been at a Regional Tennis Tournament the last couple of days, so that's why I haven't had any updates. I'm not going to bother posting my diet from the last two days, as I haven't had the opportunity to eat right. Good news is though, me and my doubles partner qualified for State, and ended up 2nd in the Region. I'm pretty stoked about that. After I got home today, I figured I needed to lift, but I didn't really feel like doing my usual workout. I ended up doing some lifts that I haven't done in awhile, just to change it up a little bit.

Now I know why I don't do close grip bench. That **** hurts my wrist somethin bad. I don't know why that is, but it just kills my wrist. I still enjoyed gettin' in the weight room today though. Felt real good.



Quote of the Day- "2003-2004 Regional Runner Up"

[ryuage]

you could try an ez curl bar for close grip bench or going a little wider if you are doing them with your hands pretty close. How'd the tennis match go?

[Chubrock]

I've been doing the close grip with my hands pretty much touching in the center. Is that where they are supposed to be placed, or should I go wider? The tennis matches went great. We went down on Friday and ended up playing two matches that afternoon. We pretty much waxed both teams. We actually qualified for state with that second round win. Saturday morning we played in the semi final match and though it was a little more difficult than the previous matches, we beat them in straight sets 6-4 6-4. The team we played in the championship was UNGODLY. I've never seen a team play doubles like that. Everything they did just put me and my partner on our asses. We took most of the sets to deuce, but just couldn't finish anything out. They were awesome, but they were really nice guys so it wasn't so bad getting beat 6-0 6-0 by them.
