Yeah these are by far the hardest gym training sessions i have ever had. Never been sore this DEEP in the muscle for so long and i am putting on a good amount of weight considering how poor my diet is.

Strength down today probably from drinking, staying up late and shitty eating, lol. Gotta enjoy the summer while its here tho! Gonna try and get the diet started this week so i start making some better gains, pretty much done drinking for the rest of the summer. Also started an accutane regimen this week and the shit is already drying me out like a bastard. Joints and tendons are already starting to ache (just what i want 
) and i am pretty much dehydrated all the time, drinking shit loads of water and juice all day long. Probably went thru a gallon + just now at the gym. Hopefully it will only be another week or two on this crap before i can stop.

DB Curls -
15lbs x10, 20lbs x10, 25lbs x10, 30lbs x10, 40lbs x3 One right after another just a big dropset
Then i did a few sets of cable curls but my arms were so pumped i could barely move them so called it a day.
I'd really like to compete at the MA state championships in august but it doesnt look like it will be happening. My muscular endurance is thru the roof, better then it has ever been before but strength just isin't there. If it was a light show and was all about who does the most reps or fastest time i would def. give it a go but as of now not looking good
. Right now i am shooting to compete in the decmeber comp that usually comes around that my training group has every year.

Today was probably the best workout i've had despite still being sore, aggravating my back and not lifting that much. Worked out at 10 when the gym closed and had the whole place to myself as well as 5 other buddies and just had a balls out hardcore training session, yelling and screaming, etc. Best possible atmosphere for serious lifting. We are going to try and make this a regular thing. Nothing more motivating then 5-6 guys all getting fired up yelling at each other 
.

75lbs x10, x10

BB Military/push press -

Repped as many as possible strict then used leg drive when we got tired.

all double overhand grip.
Whole left side of my body is tight again. Gonna go in for a deep tissue this week probably because its wayyyyyyyy to tight need to get it loosened to where i can deal with the pain. Took my shirt off half way thru the work out since it was getting hot as fuck and on shrugs i could clearly see my left trap tensing wayyyyyyyyyyyy the fuck up and not firing at the same time as the right and its swollen now. I'll probably take tomorrow off then do back and legs friday or just back and do legs sat/sun.

These were all raw, only thing i had on was elbow sleeves because my elbows were bothering me but i don't see how that can help your squat. Got that on video and my buddy doing 315 for 20 with a cut up finger, lol. just need to find my camera cable...

very shitty week this week! Been very busy and one of my roommates sister died so the whole weeks been a wash. I was able to workout yesterday and did some light chest and shoulders. Going away for the weekend as well so gonna start back up next week when i get back full time traning and diet. Vacations over!!!
B

Guest
Well had quite a blast this weekend! Time to get back on the grind and get ready for my next comp. Going to go shopping tomorrow for tons of food so i can get on an actual diet not just eating when ever. I figure its gonna take another 2 weeks to get fully back into training / diet. Maybe shorter then that if diet comes around quick. Then i can pick a plan of attack, more size or more strength. I'll let you guys know what diets gonna look like tomorrow.

Just got back from the grocery store, here is what my diets gonna look like.
6:30am - protein shake + yogurt
8:00am - oats + mixed fruit and nuts (just bought a bunch of containers of different nuts like sunflower, peanuts, etc.
10:00am - 2 cans of tuna w/ mayo either on bread or just out of a bowl depending on what i want + seeds + rice + protein shake
12:00pm - chicken breast or beef(burger, steak, etc.), rice or pasta, greenbeans, yogurt
2:00pm - If on a workout day then just some rice, if it is an off day then probably the tuna meal again or chicken and rice
Post workout - weight gainer shake
5-6PM - Beef,chicken or fish (not tuna), rice or pasta, i usually just throw what ever i want together for dinner.
Rest of day: what ever i want, usually just sit on the computer or watch tv and eat junk food and soda then before bed load up on cottage cheese until i am full and have a protein shake.
This is more or less the diet i was following before when i felt like i was on top of the world and making insane gains. Hopefully it will get me where i want to be by next year!

Probably a good long while. Strength has seemed to halt and i can't really push hard with my shoulder injury. My training partner who is getting ready for a show told me when he fucked his up it took 4 months to heal.
Deca always helps heal my shoulder problems... JM2C

Well this week has totally gotten fucked up due to some shit coming up in my life that i cannot avoid. In the process of moving so not sure when i can get back on track and devote all my time to lifting again . In the mean time however i did find some old pics on my old PC from when i first started lifting.
These are from spring-late summer 2006.
This is where i need to get back to, when i was a beast back in the winter.

Got a doc appt friday. Gonna see if i can get an MRI done on my back and find out if it is a tear and how bad as i've come to the conclusion its gotta be a tear.
Rest it out bro! It's pointless going all out either with low or high reps, antecipate things like taking breaks even when you are @ the top of your game! It's usually when we think we are made of steel when shit usually happens, just like that... out of the blue...
Best of luck and let us know what the doc said!

He reffered me to a sports doc but he said theres really no point because even if it is a tear theres nothing i can do except rehab it which i am doing now anyway. He said an MRI is a $5K test which is why its next to impossible to get them done these days with how shitty insurance companies are. I'm gonna get back on the grind monday, i will chop back up into upper and lower training and really baby the upper back. It has been feeling alot better since i have been resting but i think i need to give it alot longer then i think.

Met Phil Heath today. He came down to the gym to surprise one of our trainers who writes into flex magazine all the time and my buddy gave me the heads up he would be down there today. I didn't have time to stick around and get good pics taken so i had to suffice with one of him in the middle of a set. However i think i was in a few shots so i might show up in flex mag! lol The dude was fucking massive and had the SMALLEST waist i have even seen, true genetic freak! His calves looked like they were hanging off his shins!!!

Good news for once!!!!! Starting strongman training again on sept. 6th. I start school in a week so that should help me out with getting into a daily routine and not the summer life. I think i found out what is wrong with my back finally and i think its my neck! I guess there are these muscle on the side on your neck that are all over a big patch of nerves which go to your back, pecs and down your arm, EVERY SINGLE PLACE I HAVE BEEN IN PAIN PINPOINTED!!!!! And that muscle is tight as hell so i know thats gota be whats causing it. Gonna go to the Chiro or massage therapist and tell them and find out how long its gonna take to loosen the bitch up for good. I will stick with the high rep stuff until the week of the 6th and start heavy training and hopefully have a good event day on sunday the 6th.

i know every weightlifter hates to hear it but stay off it and give it time. I had a hip flexor that decided to tighten up on me and hurt like crazy when squatting...I laid off the squats, stretched it and it eventually loosened up. I know you know this.
Also, I've heard magnesium is natures muscle relaxant but am no doctor, nor have i tried it, but was considering it for stubborn hamstrings.
