Workout 2/28/11
forgot to weigh
WU: 10 min free elliptical HR 140
40 dips
10 chinups, 10 pullups x 3
Rack pulls: WU 95 x 10, 135 x 10, 185 x 10
225 x 5r x 6s
20 min elliptical HR 145
Man.. I am sweating like crazy on! Awesome pump from the chinups/pullups. Lower back pumped from rack pulls, iced it when I got home.. hopefully it won't be as sore as last week.. that was awful..
Can't believe it's already march and the halfway point of the contest. It's amazing to see everyones transformations so far and usually it only accelerates after the half-way mark. Let's hope it goes the same for me. My abs are slowly but surely showing a little more each day.. just wish the skin would tighten..
My girls great grandma passed away today, she was going to be 98! This weekend we visited her a few times, it was rough. I never knew any of my great grandparents, and only knew one grandma til I was I think 6-7, then another grandpa til I was 13..so I don't deal with that stuff very well.. it makes me wish I could afford to visit my grandpa, he's getting close and the last I have, and we're very close.. used to work together on the farm all the time growing up.. sigh.

If you dont already have it get some Taurine. Use 1000/day or more if you need it.

Try Jojoba and Vit E oil. May help with this but dont know for shure.

Thanks for the well wishes..
Workout 3/2/11
Weight 238
WU 10 min elliptical
Decline BB Bench on smith (no spotter)
WU 95 x 15 x 2, 135 x 10
205 x 3 x 10, 135 x 16 fail, 135 x 9 fail, 135 x 6 fail
One arm bent over rows:
50 x 12, 60 x 10, 70 x 5
75 x 3 x 10, 45 x 13 fail
BB Military Press:
75 x 5 x 5 (shoulder was kind of buggy, didn't want to push it too much,but did get a great pump)
Seated single arm concentrated bicep curls:
30 x 12, 35 x 8 fail
Tabata HIIT squat thrusts with 5 DBs:
20 seconds work, 10 second rest, 8 sets
16, 12, 10, 10, 10, (dropped weights) 13, 11, 10
Man those squat thrusts kill me.. ass is tight, quads are burned out, shoulders/arms insanely pumped and tons of sweat.
20 mins low intensity free elliptical.
My arms are looking thicker in the mirrors at the gym, triceps seem more pronounced.. my abs are sooo close I can feel it! I did declines to hopefully push out the lower peck so it helps tighten up the little fat flabs I have under my nipples. I'll take pictures and measurements tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes, we are doing much better today, mentally/spiritually.. not so much financially.. heh.

This morning did fasted cardio
HIIT style elliptical for 18 mins.
Going to do weights and low intensity cardio tonight.
I won't post all measurements but here's the highlights in the last two weeks:
1/2 inch off my chest to 43 1/2
my arms are a little smaller unflexed but remain 16" flexed (more fat loss I can only hope)
1/2 inch off my waist! 37" waist, my pants are LOOOSE
an INCH off my hips, 43", once again, LOOSE PANTS
an INCH OFF MY THIGHS, 27", umm.. did I mention my pants are loose?
So a total of 2 1/2 off my waist, 2 off my hips, 1 3/4 off my thighs, a 1/2 growth on my chest, and 1 1/8th growth on biceps flexed in six weeks. Can this be doubled in another six weeks? I'm looking forward to it! 34 inch waist.. Mmmmmm.

Workout 3/2/11
Weight 236.5 (I checked the scale 3 times and made sure it was balanced at 0)
WU 5 min stepper HR 135
Laying Tri Extension BB: 60 x 12, 70 x 10, 70 x 10
Close-grip Pulldowns: WU 75 x 10, 90 x 10
120 x 10, 120 x 10, 120 x 8 fail, 105 x 4 fail
Tricep Rope Pulldowns: 40 x 12, 40 x 10, 35 x 10
Seated Tri Ext: 40 x 10, 37.5 x 10
Tabata HIIT squat trusts. Yes.. I do enjoy punishment.
I didn't count them, was with the misses and showed her how. I started with 10lb dbs but dropped after 3rd set, man this is a killer.
My quads are so pumped and dead every time I do this, and my butt is tight.. I love it. I want to puke and gasp for air too.
New pics are up in the gallery, I'll post a couple here. My thighs the past week I've noticed really lost a lot (maybe fat burning is finally hitting them finding more places to lose?) Maybe I'll make a video of how my pants fit now. I wore my swimming trunks to do hottub today after and they almost fell off me when they used to hug my lovehandles pretty bad.. The misses has commented a lot on how I'm definitely looking different.
