Haha. I just checked back in and notice quite the hijacking. Lolol

It's all good my brothers and sisters.

As for me... Well I'm still not feelin so great. Not sure if i make it to the gym today either... Sighleg

It's not a cold... And it's not even that physical. I do have a dull headache but I can't really explain how I feel. I slept well last night. I dont think it's been due to that. I've been drinkin lots of water.. So don't think that either...

Just feel very blah. Libido is fine. Any ideas to perk me up? Should I just suck it up and get my ass to the gym? I'm at a loss here.

Yeah hit the gym bro. That should do ya!

The sages have spoken... And so it is... Going to rock the shit out of my chest.

Good stuff bro, sounds like its just one of those days where u have to push through since it is not easy otherwise everybody would be consistent with their workouts. Just make sure you listen to your body and if it really is something bad and ur sick dont go to the gym, not worth it.

Thanks Glad.

Glad to see you following along bro (no pun intended lol). I'm kind of in between how I feel physically. I get waves of nausea and this dull headache. It's nothing to stop me from working out. I just don't want to make it worse

 

[the.gladiator1987]

No prob bro. go to a chiropractor and get your neck adjusted, could be tight. but im biased because my dad is a chiropractor and i get adjusted for free... What is your diet/supps right now? any other stuff u r taking?

 

[bader85]

^^^^ yes I seriously need an adjustment. I'm goin to Utah in march and I'll visit my guy there. Only $30 without insurance. I did schedule a massage with my wife tomorrow. Hopefully she accepts the booking. Lol.

As for supps. Been taking gear about 6 pills a day. Krill oil 1-1500mg a day. Multi vitamin. Green tea extract. l-tryptophan at night. ZMA at night. Hmm. What else. No stims except for pre-workout and maybe two cups of coffee in the morning not every day.

Nothing out of the norm for how I've been feeling the last two days.

Workout 2/27/12
Chest

WU 10 min elliptical

Decline BB Bench:
Bar x 20 (shoulder stretches, slow, warm up)
115 x 15
165 x 12
185 x 12
215 x 7 (felt greedy, had to give it a shot)
165 x 12
165 x 11
165 x 10

Numbers are continually going up.. My chest felt great and pumped. I love it when the inner part of my chest where it seperates each pec gets pumped and shows through my shirt.

Incline DB Press:
45 x 12
45 x 12
45 x 11
40 x 10
35 x 11
30 x 14

Hammer Strength Iso Chest Press (fst-7 style, 30 second rest intervals):
32 (each arm) x 12
32 x 12
32 x 12
32 x 12
32 x 12
32 x 12
32 x 18 (went all out at the end.. half reps n everything just to destroy it)

Yeah.. So my tris and front delts were freakin pumped. I wore a sleeveless shirt today and was staring at myself probably a little too much in the mirror. They looked sick n' huge. Starting to get a little bit more definition. Down to 252. Slowly but surely it seems.. Strength is not suffering so I hope I'm not losing any muscle.

I think I'm going to change up my split:
Chest
Shoulder/Tris
Back & Bis
rest
Legs
rest
repeat.. What you think? I want to dedicate a day better to shoulders/tris than legs/shoulders, I don't feel like I get enough done on my shoulders when I add legs at first.. kind of drains my energy...

Or maybe
Chest
Shoulders
Back
Tris/Bis
Rest
Legs
Rest
??

Opinions, comments, fuck yous? Lol

daaaaammn Bader that looks like an awesome work out bro...and to think u didn't feel like going to the gym earlier lol

I like giving shoulders/traps their own day and ending the week with tris/bies, just seems natural since ur already working out tries a lil bit on chest and shoulder days
