Starting a log, training like a madman to work out my anger!

[NoFatChicks91]

I felt like complete shit from this cold Wednesday and Thursday.

Both days my mind was telling me don't go to the gym. Lay down, rest, blah blah. So before I got a chance to talk myself out of it I packed my shit and hopped in the car, heading to the gym. I'm not fuckin missing more time from working out.

Nothing impressive to report here. I'm sore as fuck given that I hadn't worked chest in 2 weeks, that's really it though. I gave it my best, considering I was pretty sick

Incline DB Press: 45 x 15 / 50 x 12 / 50 x 10 / 45 x 12 / 45 x 10 / 35 x 10
Flat DB Press: 45 x 11/ 45 x 10 / 40 x 12 / 40 x 12/ 40 x 12
Hammer Strength Incline Press: 110 x 8 / 100 x 8 / 90 x 7 /90 x 8 / 70 x 12 / 70 x 10
Dumbell Pullover: 40 x 12 / 45 x 12 / 45 x 10 Joints felt dry so I stopped, I felt prone to injury. I'm sure it's lingering malnourishment from the tonsilectomy. It will correct itself once I get my diet in gear.
Hammer strength Bench: 135 x 12 / 135 x 10 / 145 x 8 / 115 x 10 / 100 x 12
Pec Deck: 115 x 8 / 85 x 12 / 70 x 15 / 75 x 12 / 70 x 12 / 65 x 15 / 65 x 12

Grueling little ab circuit
30 mins on the stair stepper. I love that thing. But I needa start running again. My one mile is like 6 minutes flat or just under 6 minutes. I need to keep it at 5:45 and my 2 mile at 12:30 because I want to be an officer in US Army Infantry after college.

Felt like shit today too but still pushed myself.

I was really disappointed in my running.... I tried to run a mile on the treadmill in 6 flat and barely made it. I've run it in 5:45 before. I need to get back into running shape. Not long distance running but I need a strong 2-3 mile run time

Seated DB Press: 30 x 12 / 40 x 12 / 40 x 10 / 35 x 12 / 35 x 10 / 30 x 12
Overhead Press: 5 sets. Muscle fatigue had already kicked in, on the last few sets I was fighting for 55 x 12 lol
Seated DB Lat Raise: 20 x 12 / 20 x 12 / 17.5 x 12 / 17.5 x 10

I feel like Seated lateral raises are pesky but I can really tell they help put that roundness on my shoulders and I really feel the burn. It's a good exercise. Just kind of annoying in my opinion

Bent Over reverse fly: 20 x 10 / 17.5 x 12 / 17.5 x 10 / 17.5 x 12

Perfect form on these. Felt the burn all in the rear delts. I do these with my elbows completely out, so the fly and, therefore, the contraction is all in the upper back. Alot of guys seem to go too heavy on these, and their elbows are tucked in. Thus, they are recruiting other muscles, like lats, to do the job. Which is fine if you want more of a compound movement I guess. I want isolation.

9 sets of cable crosses for rear delt rapage. I have an X-back now guys! And thats thanks to you all for helping me fine-tune my shoulder and upper back routine to hit those rear delts. They are really bulging out now!

Superset
Hammer strength Shoulder Press: 83 x 8 / 76 x 8 / 69 x 10 / 69 x 8
Lateral Flys (Machine): 65 x 8 / 55 x 8 / 69 x 10 / 69 x 8

Cable upright row (Bringing the bar overhead with a big shrug at the top) : 32.5 x 8 / 25 x 10 / 20 x 10 / 17.5 x 10
Barbell Upright Row: 55 x 12 / 55 x 10 / 50 x 10 / 50 x 10
Smith Machine Shrug: 155 x 10 / 155 x 8 / 135 x 12 / 135 x 12

Didn't want to use the smith machine but every dickbag on the gym was fucking around with all the barbells

Dumbell Shrug : 60 x 10 / 60 x 8 / 60 x 8 / 60 x 8

My chest was on fire, like my lungs, the whole workout. The burning sensation was pretty intense, and my lungs felt tight. It was hard to breathe.

It's because of that fuggin cold in combination with my asthma. But I can't let that shit slow me down. The asthma hasn't bothered me in years but colds always flare it up. All that drainage and congestion causes problems. Fuck me right?

I can't let it slow me down though. It's just a discomfort.

Ran 1/4 mile sprints for a total of 2.5 miles, so like 10 sprints. It killed my legs guys! They're still sore as fuck from Sunday. Good shit! And believe it or not, I was gasping for air on the first few sprints, feeling faint almost, but after awhile my chest cleared up.

Putting it bluntly, people who choose not to push themselves physically because they have asthma are just being pussies. They are ALLOWING it to limit themselves, but they ultimately still make the choice whether to put up a fight or throw the white flag.

Heres a pic guys. This is the last time I will look this cut up for a while because startin Monday I am going to be bulking for 10 weeks. Trust me, even though I am young and lean lol my body SUCKS. I WILL put fat on, I can't gain without putting fat on. In order to look like this I follow a diet just as strict, disciplined and crazy as my workout routine. But I needa get bigger so I can deal with a muffin top for a few months. Then I will do a cut and SUNS OUT GUNS OUT BABY

Shredded is the right word. Not just ripped but shredded! Good shit man, sometimes when you get sick it's almost like a free cut in disguise haha. Were you already close to this lean before you got sick?

 

[NoFatChicks91]

Yeah almost. I look pretty much same just less muscular. I've almost gained all my weight back. And thanks bro haha. Im gonna put fat on on this bulk but ill cut up afterwards. Trick is to just do lost of cardio!

Yeah lots of people stop doing cardio when they bulk because they don't want to burn the extra calories, but what I've learned is that you gotta do cardio, if for nothing else than for your health.
