FLog entries

  • Oddly enough...

    ...it was a pretty damn good day today. After trying to recuperate and alternate my training for the last 2 weeks because of a pinched nerve in my neck, Saturday night I got some kind of food poisioning or stomach bug. Felt like someone was repeat...

  • Back at it heavy

    After the Olympia, I took over two months off, and it felt great! Then, I started my conditioning workouts, and now, as of tonight, I start going heavy again. Want a little more strength and size before the Arnold, so we'll see. This is what I did...

    I've been slackin' a bit on keeping my journal up to date these last few days: work has been maddening, and my last to lifting days have been blah. No excuse, I know. But anyway, I decided to cycle in a tricep routine for a few weeks, along with t...

  • What the hell?

    Yesterday's workout was really weird. My strength levels were all over the place: up, down, up, down, sideways... I don't know. Then, afterwards, I was really hyper - this NEVER happens. I usually wipe myself out. Freeweight Military Singles...

    Good day today, and I think alot of it can be attributed to my meal #2. I went to a buffet at a hotel/casino and had the following: salad, 2 large chicken fajitas, 2 large beef fajitas, a nice slice of pepperoni pizza, and a serving of bread puddi...

    LOL, thanks, Mutt, but I don't think I'll be breaking my 671 PR any time soon... I haven't been on FTs at all these last 3 days, and not much this last week. Work has been really out of control, so things have been kinda nuts. I did get to sque...

  • Day 2 of the heavy

    I was pretty happy with these numbers last night, again considering it's been so long; especially with the deadlifts, because, even though I can't go past the knees, I haven't done them in about 5/6 years, I was very happy with the results! Dea...

  • Back at it heavy

    Damn, I was on the jazz tonight - almost too much, I think. I was sooo pumped up when I got to the gym, and I put so much into my first two lifts that I was quite dimished by the time I hit the third (what I really needed to hit). I mean, the poun...

    Got to the gym again today... pretty damn happy! Again, nothing too major, but this is the skelton of what my workouts will look like over the next 8 weeks, in other words, I'll be adding and subtracting some lifts. On a really great note: I haven...

    Yesterday marked my return to serious training. After such a long break, I started easing into my new training, diet, and supplement routine this week, which should be up to full speed by next Monday. And believe me, convincing the body to start h...

  • 2nd time this week

    Thanks for the props, guys, I need it and appreciate it. I went back to the gym last night; did another circuit on machines. I hate doing this, but I guess I'm alot older and a little wiser, so I know this is all a necessary evil. I'll just ge...

    I went back to the gym today after taking a month off (see below). Still not really able to drive, so I had a friend pick me up. Did a very light circuit training routine on machines. Probably stick with that for the next few weeks, then hit it...

  • A new week

    The one benefit that (usually) comes with age is at least I'm able to read my body a little better... most of the time. As you can see by my last workout on Weds., I beat the *expletive* out of my triceps. So, Thursday rolls around, and I go out...

    This is great! I love having an on-line journal/log. The purpose of this log is to keep me on track, specifically for my military press challenge - once it's typed in, it's "set in stone" so to speak, and I will use it to keep me moving foward. I'...
