I'm fat..... I don't need to be for the summit.....so this is to get my ass in gear.
I've gotten fat... well, I've gained back everything I've lost since the beginning of the year. I'm not happy.
I'm supposed to be starting a test group for Joel Marion. But after seeing other people's experiences with free offers, I'm not going to believe it until I have my program in my hands. I sent my "before" picture in last night. I tend to store my fat at my belly button and love handles. My legs don't have much fat, it's all concentrated right there.
The goal is to do something every day.
Saturday February 17
Foam Rolling/Stretching/Mobility Work/Scapular Work
Sumo Deadlifts
3x8 @ 225
Seated Wide Grip Rows
3x8 @ 180
Bench Press
3x8 @ 185
I'd never done better than 5x5 on the BP. I was impressed with myself.
Sunday February 18
50 pushups
50 lunges (each leg)
All in 8 minutes
Probably could have done this faster; but I ate a lot and was afraid of pukeage.

I'm waiting on the info from Joel too. It should be good but like you I'll get excited when I have the plan in my hands. Good timing with the summit coming up.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it too. I just wish that didn't have the major that required a lot of time. If it was like it was my first two years of school, it would be so much easier. makes me really wish that I had the convenience of fixing my own food like i have this year with the free time I had last year. I'd be at the rec center 24/7.

thanks, I'm hoping not to recognize myself. I want abs of steel. and with abs of steel come women of good looks. the abs are like an uncovered magnet.

Did them before bed. Should have kept the time, but I was worried about my readings for class, so I was reading about the Korean war between sets. I wish I was this motivated all of the time.
Tuesday, February 20
Foam Rolling/Stretching/Mobility Work/Scapular Work
Split Squats
3x10 @ 95
Ow
Bench Press
3x10 @ 175
PR here again. My shoulder felt really good, no clicking. Of course, it's going to be 60 tomorrow, so if I get the itch to go throw a baseball, that could all change.
Close Grip Rows
3x10 @ 165
Kept my body still and my chin up.
Planks/Side Planks
apparently they now make you wait in line to get a treadmill no matter how busy. eff that, I'm going to make it my personal goal to steal treadmills from people in line from now on when I run. It's all about survival, not courtesy. I refuse to yield to a sorostitute (apologies to the good ones) with her tights and the latest issue of Cosmo.

Sumo Deadlifts
5x5 @ 235
the goal here originally was to do 3x8, but that didn't work. why? I don't know. I felt like on the first couple of sets that I wasn't getting my glutes into it. I know that may not make any sense, but I just felt like I wasn't working them. The last couple sets I could feel it though.
DB Bench Press
3x8 @ 85
I might have been able to get 90s here. But my shoulder is a little sore from playing catch yesterday so I wasn't going to push it. Felt good, no popping, pain free. Very happy.
Neutral Grip Chinups
5x5
I was bored and didn't want to do any rows.
Core work
the rec center was buuuuuuuuuuusy because of the "show me state games" today. There were people everywhere all around the pool and basketball courts. the weight room was fairly empty though.
one thing was weird though. the "attendant" or whatever in the weight room was a good looking female. ok, whatever. but one guy that was working out must have known her, because he went and got her for every set of his pullups. He made her put her hand on his back for every rep. and then he made her spot him for his burnout curls. what a weirdo.

played ball instead on Tuesday. I hadn't in a while and it showed.... I need to keep playing (speed/stamina wise. I still got the shot).
Thursday March 1
Foam Rolling/Stretching/Mobility Work/Scapular Work
Split Squats
5x5 @ 115
I could have gone up more here I think. I was surprised
Close Grip Rows
3x10 @ 165
I think I was only getting 8 reps before
Close Grip Pushups
3x15
didn't feel like waiting around for a bench to do DB bench presses, so I went with the pushups instead (which I would have done at home tonight anyway)
busy day... busy day tomorrow, going home for the weekend, working out Sunday morning. looking forward to seeing my at home gym buddies.

So did you do anything today, you lazy meat popsicle? And did Joel Marion's stuff get to you?
FEEL DA LOVE! OUT!
nope. stuff didn't get to me. I had forgotten about that. maybe I should check my spam folder on gmail?
and have I done anything today? I just asked myself that question. I think I need to do some foam rolling and pushups. I just polished off some Culver's. not good (for me... it tasted awesome)

Foam Rolling/Stretching/Mobility Work/Scapular Work
Deadlifts
3x225
3x245
3x275
3x295
1x315
1x325
1x345
Might have left a little on the table here. Oh well, I hadn't DLed conventionally for a while, and this was enough for now. I was bored, the deadlift platform was the only thing open, so I said what the hell and went (semi)heavy.
DB Bench Press
3x5 @ 90
After not really struggling with the 85s, I thought the transition to 90s would be cake. Not at all.
Pullups
3x5
I used to be really good at these. Not anymore
Planks/Leg Raises.
Just finished a 2 hour nap--my fun time for today. Now I have to start studying for a test that I don't know what to study for, write an article, and hopefully hear back on a couple of interviews. Ah, what the hell, PTI is on, time to procrastinate.

The deadlifts are looking good, but I seem to be reading about a lot of napping and watching basketball. Only one month until the Summit "biotch."
biotch.... this was the best weekend of the year, bar none.
I skipped class; got a free pizza lunch and watched four games live Friday. Woke up late Saturday, got a free breakfast buffet, and watched more basketball. Today, I woke up at noon, worked out, watched more basketball and then NASCAR. And I got to hang out with some pretty fun people. Can't complain one bit about the last three days.
Anyway.....
Sunday March 11
Foam Rolling/Stretching/Mobility Work/Scapular Work
Split Squats
3x8 @ 115
DB Bench Press
3x10 @ 85 (EH)
Close Grip Rows
3x10 @ 165
Planks/Leg Raises
Back to the grind tomorrow, but tournament week is more fun that work. Thursday and Friday will be a blast.
