Dirty~D~'s journey to recovery - first 90 days

[dirty~d~]

Biceps/Triceps tonight... went well, not great, but I'm not disappointed. I got me some before, too. Now I'm chowing down on cottage cheese, soy and quinoa pasta and scrambled eggs. Mmmm, protein shake for dessert. Too bad I don't have any Rocky Road here.

Overall feel for the week: Meh, not bad, but not my greatest attempt. I'm a little irritated about missing my back workout, but I'm not trying to kill myself literally. LOL! I've learned to listen to my body and not my head. My muscles are responding faster through my lifts now and it feels great. I've decided to stop weighing myself every other week because quite frankly I don't really give a shit how much I weigh... never have. I'm still going to be bulking/rebuilding my mass for the remaining time on my 90 day schedule. I'll probably weigh myself again in a couple of weeks to help calculate muscle mass development. (My goal is still 15lbs of muscle in 90 days.) I added Waxi Maize starch to my diet and SaladFork helped me track down more gluten free sources for solid carbs. My diet is more balanced now and I'm feeling a lot better overall.

Week 8 preview: I say this every time, lol, but I'm leaving the weights as they are. I can 'feel' 185 for reps on deads, but I want to nail it solid so I'm going to beat the hell out of my grip strength before I attempt it again. I may switch up to DLs once a week and squats twice. My inner quad isn't filling in as quickly as the outside so more 45 degree squats will be necessary. I hate using hack squats, but I think I'm going to add them full time.

KILL THAT SHIT!!!

Hey girl sorry I haven't been in touch but I've been offshore and we didn't have internet and my cell wouldn't work. I hope you've been good!!!

 

[dirty~d~]

BEACHBOY! You're back!! YEAH!

Day two of Aunt Flow has not done me any favors. Felt a little dizzy by the time I got home from work so no lifts tonight.

Tuesday night: legs. I felt dead, but finished my lifts. That's all I have to say about that. LOL!

Since I had the day off from work, I lifted earlier than usual and had a GREAT back workout. I was using my friend's gym in her basement so I decided to lift in as little clothing as possible. Sorry, no video... use your imagination.
