JWC, COKE: Thanks for the concern guys, it's much appreciated.

Monday's lift combined with how I felt and feel now lead me to one conclusion: No lifting until football training starts June 6. I've burnt out and need rest. Monday my joints were sore, motivation low, and I was weak. It all happened very quickly, no hint of it in previous workouts. No biggie, I was planning some time off anyway.

**LadyLifter** · 05-26-2005 10:53 AM

Hey SW...be careful kiddo! Time off will be good for you ...you're active enough and I'm sure you will come back even stronger in a couple weeks!

SW · 05-26-2005 04:56 PM

Lady: Hey, thanks. I'm not lifting until June 6, when football summer training starts.

For now I'm running hills (big ones, in sets of 3) everyday after school and some other kind of running every other day. Ran 6 hills today, nearly killed me. I'm far from the endurance I want to be, but that won't last long.

**Chubrock** · 05-26-2005 08:34 PM

Man I've neglected this journal for awhile bro, damn. How's things been goin with ya?? What all you into now?

SW · 05-26-2005 09:08 PM

Hey Andrew! Glad to hear from ya. I've hit some nice pr's in everything, am stronger than I've ever been, and am about to start training for football June 6! I'll be center and also maybe nosegaurd. In short, I'm doing quite well

I've been running lately to get in shape for the grueling summer our new coach has in store lol.

**Chubrock** · 05-26-2005 09:10 PM

That's awesome bro. Didn't you give wrestling a try there for awhile?? I'm taking BJJ now and it's ****ing addictive as hell, even though I get beat the **** up lol.

**Coke** · 05-27-2005 04:45 AM

Running through the hills like you've been doing is great for your conditioning and endurance - props 4 it.

**cphafner** · 05-27-2005 05:17 AM

man I hate running. If it wasn't for the "other" cardio machines, I would lose my mind.

**LadyLifter** · 05-27-2005 06:23 AM

YAY HILLS! ok token runner moment is over...seriously though hills are great for speed and general conditioning. If you have access to them you should try using some leg weights on the hills...they can do serious things for your speed...*my two cents*

SW · 05-31-2005 02:17 PM

Hey guys, had a great weekend and am reportin back in. Football training starts in 6 days after today. I should be around to everybody's jounals tonight. Allergies are bothering me pretty badly. Weekend was very active at least.

SW · 05-31-2005 07:05 PM

Just ran about a mile or over. A little endurance training if you will. It wasn't nonstop, but with high bp, my weight and current level of endurance, it's ok. I feel great now. Funny how the idea of running makes me ill, yet afterwards I LOVE it. But...don't want to do it for a while lol.

I know Lady, IT RULES ALL TEH TIME lol.

Oh, then I took a shower. God, I wanna put my fat pictures up here sooo bad. Will hunt some way to. Gonna git-r-done if I may use a heavily overused term. Especially in S. IA! All my fat is in my belly. Between working, running (nonfootball) and football training 4 days per week, I will get much more defined. Hopefully I'll see 13-15%.

Hopefully I can maintain as much weight as possible and keep the lowest bf percentage that I can get this summer. Juggling from Hell. I'll just have to eat plenty and that combined with decent genetics and CONSTANT motion + lifting should do me well.

What do you guys think of that plan?

**Focused70** · 06-01-2005 08:29 AM

if you do it often enough, you'll love cardio.

kind of like the horizontal variety.

**Coke** · 06-01-2005 09:02 AM

May as well get started with some ab work too - there will be a six pack to show off when you trim down.

**ryuage** · 06-01-2005 02:29 PM

I feel ya all my fat is in the love handles and lower back =\

SW · 06-01-2005 04:18 PM

Yeah guys, the fat sucks and like Coke reccommends, I'll be doing some ab work tonight and a couple more times to get the core ready for football workouts.

TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOOTBALL LIFTING/WORK STARTS JUNE 6!

I'm calling my supervisor tonight to tell him to go ahead and start calling me for work lol, I'm so happy. I'm ready to get more cut, even stronger, and more nimble. Oh yeah, and that MONEY as well.

**Chubrock** · 06-01-2005 08:34 PM

I carry most of my fat in my lower back as well. Of course I've still got some loose skin on my stomach so no six pack for me yet DAMMIT!!!. Good luck with the football lifting. If your school is anything like mine, you've got a nice long summer ahead of yourself.

Oh yea, what work are you doing this summer??

SW · 06-01-2005 08:39 PM

Hey Chubs. Thanks for teh luckage. It really sounds like a blast. Well, I'm working for a staging company. It's hard work and heavy, but 10 bucks an hour is nice. I also will be working alot in that job. I'll also be builiding fence, cutting and splitting wood, building another building on the farm, trying to camp and fish lol, and that's all I got off the top of my head.

It's gonna be busy but hey, I wouldn't have it any other way dude.

Got bored and took some cold and unflexed measurements:

Neck: 18 inches
Thighs: 27 3/4 inches
Calves: 18 inches
Biceps: 16 inches
Forearms: 13 3/4 inches

I'm making progress.

U are perpetual motion, lol...them stats look super!!

**LadyLifter** · 06-02-2005 01:25 PM

everything is looking great SW...(yay running

) ...I'll stop the running comments soon I promise...I'm going to see how much weight I can throw around once the half is over so then you can storm my journal with the random yay lifting comments to balance out my running fettish

SW · 06-02-2005 03:12 PM

Cokester: Always. And danka.

Runner

: Sounds like a deal! (and the usual lol)

I just finished hoeing in the garden for about a half hour. Damn I feel fat. I think it's psychological since I KNOW my bf percentage is 19-21%. I think I feel that way because literally 80-90% of my bf is on my STOMACH. Damn that sucks.

**cphafner** · 06-03-2005 07:42 PM

I need some of that neck size!

SW · 06-04-2005 08:12 AM

I'd donate some, just for the show....then give it back lol. I need some of that pulling strength!

Just messing around and working these days, until monday when football conditioning starts. Then I'll be doing football program lifting 3 days per week. It can't be half as intense as what I was doing. My muscles feel great and ready after this 2 week rest. I'm ready to just tear into the weights again!

Been eating maintinence, as well as running some and ALWAYS keeping active. My cousins are staying sunday night into monday. I've got to start going to their baseball games.

**cphafner** · 06-05-2005 07:31 PM

I'll take it!

**LadyLifter** · 06-06-2005 06:22 AM

hey SW

just poppin' in to say hi...I'm off this week (recovery) and then you can fill my head back up with lifting and lifting only

Have a great day!

SW · 06-06-2005 10:43 AM

Lady: Thanks for poppin' in. We keep each other balanced

This is the last entry in this journal. I will post my update from today in my new journal. THanks for all of you supporting me, and I hope you'll continue to do so!
