Wow, your broke the scale already???? It only went up to 185? I bet you weigh 186 now...
All work and no play makes me a dull boy

Ha, what really happen, my son thought he'd help me out by carrying the scales in the other room and when he was he dropped it and it broke the little plastic cover on it, tried to weigh myself and I weighed 175 after that. Very doubtful I lost 10 lbs in a day, so it's pretty much safe to say they are f#cked.Originally posted by pr3

CBates that's cool that you take care of your son. I'm fortunate to have a real cool responsible Dad too. Does your son ask you what you are doing when you are working out? Does he try to pick up some dumbells or a weight plate or something? That would be so funny! Anyways good job bro keep up the good work!

He tries to workout with me, it's so funny, I'm usually laughing my @ss off. When I do deadlifts, he'll grab my EZ curl bar and pick it up acting like he's doing the deadlifts too. At only 3 years old, he's getting started at a young age.Originally posted by Marcel

That's so cool! That would be hilarious to watch! Little kids are so funny. Yea by 5th grade he will be lifting more then you! LOL.
Anyways how do you like the carbs in your diet? How do you feel? Better? I've added carbs to my diet again(oatmeal and multi-grain flourless bread) and I feel better.

The carbs in my diet has defiantly helped with strength and recovery, but not too sure about the fat loss. I mean, I'm losing body fat, but at a very slow pace. I've been cutting for a while now with carbs, and even though I can tell I've lost body fat, as my abs are showing and my pants fit looser around my waist, it just seems I have a extra layer of flab that's just not going to go away that's hiding my 6 pack. What I'm thinking about doing in the next week or two, is only have carbs on my weight training days. On my off days, I'm going to lower my carb intake to probably just to 1/2 cup of oatmeal and up the fat about 20-25 grams.

Sleep was terrible last night, but haven't seen my girl since Saturday, so it was either get 7 or 8 hours of sleep and not get a chance to see her till Thursday, or lose a few hours of sleep and spend some time with her. Kind of regretting my decision now.. Bought some new scales, so I'll be able to post my weight again, haven't weighed in over a week, and I've lost 4 pounds, that's pretty good, considering I weigh at the same time every morning and have been on the same diet, so I know some of it has to be a little fat I've lost.

My leg stregnth is finally starting to increase at a good rate, I think it has to do with me doing squats and deads in a real gym rather than my crapy home gym. Weight is dropping, abs coming in pretty good too, my girl is starting to get pissed that I'm getting my abs back because when we go to the lake she thinks everybody is 'checking' me out. Oh yeah, sleep was good too, about time I got some good sleep for a night..

My weekend F'n blew. Didn't even get drunk, I was planning to get so wasted Saturday night and then some idiots screwed that all up... Drank a little bit last night, but since I had to work today, I didn't drink that much.

This is a day late, this is actually yesterdays workout, just didn't have time to post it, I didn't work out today, since I stayed up pretty late today, only got 3 hours sleep last night, I figured I'd just do chest/back tomorrow with more rest, it would have been a pointless workout, as I would be too tired to do anything.

Decent workout, hurt my shoulder a little on bench press, probably nothing serious, hope it'll feel better tomorrow. Didn't get much sleep last night, son decided he wanted to stay up late and watch Power Rangers all night. Starting to lose body fat at a pretty good rate now, abs are coming in pretty good, still can't see any veins running through them yet, but at the rate I'm going, should have some visible in the next 2 weeks. If I can just keep my weight around 180 and have veins running through my abs I'll be happy as hell, as I thought that with my genetics I could never weigh over 160 and have nice abs.

Thanks for keeping me on track Herc, if it wasn't for you checking out my journal, I probably would fell back into my old habits a while ago when I wasn't seeing good results after a week or two.

Shoulder still hurts pretty bad, I think I was concentrating on TUT too much yesterday on bench and that really F'd up my shoulder. Probably end up skipping weights tomorrow and do an extra day of cardio so my shoulder will heal. Soon as my shoulder gets better (hope it does before Monday) I'm going to start doing DB bench press. I've been noticing lately going too heavy on BB bench press is taking a toll on my shoulders. Don't quite understand it though, using perfect form, seems as the better my form is, the more joint pain I get in my shoulders.

I was off in Paris for a couple of weeks working, but now I'm back. Eventually we're gonna have to do something about your sleeping habits!

Good luck trying to help with my sleeping habits, there is just not enough hours in the day for me to get a good night of sleep. I don't know though, I really don't think things are going to work out with the girl I'm seeing right now, so once that is over, that should add some sleep onto my schedule.Originally posted by Herc

Skipped shoulder/bis/tris workout today, shoulder still bothering me so I just went with another day of cardio. Plan on doing legs tomorrow, nothing there that will bother my shoulder. Hopefully my shoulder will be at 100% by Saturday or Sunday and I can do my workout then, or I might just wait till Tuesday and do it on that day. Sleep was real crappy last night, if you check my thread out in general about my girl situation, something came up last night that had me pretty pissed and I couldn't sleep at all. She had her ex stay the night with her to help her "clean up".. Whatever...

I wanted to ask you man what do you think about glucosamine? I have had a few problems with my joints lately just my wrist and a little knee irritation. I added 4g of glucosamine sulfate first thing in the morning and before bed. Do you think this will help?Originally posted by CBates
