I had some time to kill after the lunch rush yesterday so I did a stupid long workout. Elliptical'd for about five minutes, stretched shoulders and hips a bit Snatch grip rack pulls 135x10 175x10 215x2 haha wow this ramped up fast 195x8,8,8,7 165x8,8 Chin ups (I felt on fire with these good god drat) +20x12,10,8 +0x12,10,9,9,7 One arm row 85x10x4 Pulldown 150x15,11,10,10,7 130x13 100x15 Seated cable row 105x17,16,14 90x19 Bunch of lat pushdowns, I keep meaning to try those J pulls Incline seated curl 30sx8,4 25sx7,7,4 20sx8,6,5 Bunch of hammer curls, a standing DB drop set that ended with the 10 lb dumbbells feeling utterly soul crushing Ahole weight 25 x 3 times overhand, 2.5 underhand 15 x 3 times overhand, 3 underhand It's sinking in how completely ridiculous this week is going to be. I worked from 6:30 AM to 7 PM yesterday and then went straight to rehearsal. Today I'm getting dinner with my sister after work (Teacher Appreciation Day at Chipotle, buy one get one free with a teacher ID, so basically I buy her an early Mother's Day dinner and get my own dinner as a result) and then I have another rehearsal. Wednesday is hanging out with dance girl which will be awesome and relaxing, Thursday is a happy hour with an acquaintance heavily involved in the DC fitness industry so network network network, and finally Friday I help my sister move and then throw a party. Saturday I am going to be useless to the world. Oh hey, benwards, Vomax, I moved up the date from the 17th. Can you guys swing it?

Speaking of Chipotle, thanks for mentioning how you can do a half and half bowl. It's become a reliable lunch for me in the sense that it's pretty consistent regardless of where you are!

Alright just letting my neuroses run free now April 2012 vs May 2013   Seriously I pretty much nailed that pose. Probably about 150-155 on the left, about 165 on the right. I noticed I was wearing these same shorts yesterday and was like "welp I have to take a picture". I might just be overthinking stuff but I feel pretty weak lately. It's clear that while I know what to do to lose weight, I'm having trouble losing just fat. I went back to the start of my log (that first picture is from page 4) to see if there was anything specific I was doing around then, and the answer is "not really". Since it's such a herculean effort for me to put weight on in the first place, I'm going to try raising my intake a bit for awhile, eating when I want and not making any strict restrictions but not stuffing myself. I'd also like to tighten up my workouts, because it seems like volume is not the most conducive thing at the moment. I'll probably structure them similarly, but cut down on the number of sets to focus on making them higher quality. That being said, this was yesterday: Biked half hour Rolled/stretched my shoulders Bench barx20 105x15 145x10 185x5 225x3 250x1 225x2 195x4,4 Inc DB bench 50sx15,14,13,12 40sx16,15,12 Pec Deck 105x15,12,12,10 85x11,10 Dips 20,15,13 Skullcrushers 65x15,15 Hanging leg raise 5x10 Buzkashi fucked around with this message at May 8, 2013 around 14:55 |

So Thursday was Day One of Tighten This poo poo Up Workout-Wise: Bike half hour Rolled/stretched hips Squats barx20 115x15 155x10 195x5 235x5x3 Leg ext 140x15x4 SLDL 155x10x3 Leg curl 135x15x3 Calf raise 180x10x3 Went and got drinks on H street with a friend who runs building projects and has built several Gold's, talking about gym construction is entertaining. Today will be pretty hectic - work, workout, help my sister move for like two hours or so, clean up my apartment, go to the store for supplies, throwing a party tonight. Adventures.

Friday was pretty solid. Usually I just work out in my work clothes because I'm just off my shift and about to go home and clean everything up anyway, but I brought a beater with me to embrace my inner white trash while I lifted. This turned out to be A Good Idea because it meant I had maximum shoulder and arm exposure when a super hot friend of mine stopped by the gym to say hi. She had her boyfriend with her whom I hadn't met before and even before introducing us she stopped in her tracks and was like "wow, you look awesome". It was clear he did not lift, come on bro. After I finished my workout I helped my sister move, then spent over a hundred dollars at the liquor store to stock for the party, then crushed some Chipotle with dance girl. We ended up having about 20 people over and I drank entirely too much but had a really good time. Unfortunately Vomax's car got towed because he parked in the lot I thought since he'd been over a few times he knew to park on the street, but the lesson is learned. Sorry buddy! I'll put up a couple pictures soon.Saturday was completely lazy recovery day. Gatorade, water, sleep. Sunday was a nice family brunch and some stuff done around the house. This was Friday's Kept Tight workout: Rolled/stretched shoulder Shoulder press barx20 65x10 85x5 115x5,4,4 Lat raise 20sx15x3 Shrugs 340x12x4 Skullcrusher 65x15x3 CG bench 85x15x4 Seated curls 20sx10x4 EZ bar curl 40x12x3 A-hole weight 20x4x3 both over and under Decline sit up 45x15x3 Oh also I saw Pain and Gain Saturday night and laughed my rear end off the whole time. I GOTTA GET A PUMP.

Twofer, since I just straight up forgot to post last week. Thursday's leg day - Warmup Squats barx20 125x15 165x10 205x5 245x5x3 Leg ext 145x15x4 SLDL 165x10x3 Leg curl 140x15x3 Calf raise 190x10x3 Ahole weight (going to start doing forearms M/Th and abs T/F we'll see how it goes) 25x4,4,3 both sides Friday sh/arm day Warm up stuff Shoulder press barx15 65x10 85x5 115x5x3 Lat raise 25sx15,13,13 Shrug 360x12x4 Skullcrusher 70x12x3 Close grip bench 110x15x4 Seated curl 25sx10,10,10,7 EZ bar curl 50x12x3 Decline situp 45x15x3 Hanging leg raise 10x3 I spent all weekend doing pull-ups/leg raises from my bar at home. When I'm at the gym I'll do them hanging with arms fully extended but at home I'll do then during a sort of parallel-grip flexed-arm-hang sort of thing that I personally like better, maybe I'll switch it up. Pretty solid weekend, saw Iron Man 3 on Friday and it was enjoyable if a little long. Lazy day Saturday, ran around a lot on Sunday - afternoon hangout at a friend's place, client, dance performance at dance girl's studio, and then a brief stop by a friend's band playing in Columbia Heights before coming home and crashing hard. This week will be pretty nuts, and I will be happy when it's over and I can relax.

Happy birthday, man, you're looking pretty massive! I tried out your chicken recipe from back in april today, from memory, it ended up as sort of a bastardized version but that's sort of in the spirit of winging it, right? It turned pretty good but the coconut flour/chili powder mix ended up a bit flour-y even after cooking and it needed more chili for sure.
