Slacking again!

Damn it I am slacking again haven't worked out in 2 days and my eating habits are going down the drain... Too much going out with friends... Got to get back on the train doing laundry tomorrow and then hitting the gym for some chest and back. I am gonna try and get up early and hit the gym so that I have more time later in the day to do other things. The gym on base is always packed I need to find a good time when not a lot of people are there.

Monday Arms

OK well I didn't have a lot of time in the gym yesterday so I did a super set workout
Fast and effective!

Dumbbell Curls
10x30 3sets
Tri Push Downs
10x100 3sets

I did these right after one another and rested for about a min and repeated.

21s with the 40!

Was really hard but I was able to compete a full 21.

Hammer Curls
10x27.5 3sets
Rope Tri Push downs
10x100 3sets

I did these right after one another and rested for about a min and repeated.

I was really starting to get burned out here but was able to really get a good feeling in my tris. My Bis where so shot I couldn't get my left arm to lift half of the last set.

Over all a good day, just wish the gym wasn't so damn full! It seemed like everyone was there yesterday. Also I was the smallest guy there and got a lot of wtf looks. I don't care anymore I just wanna lift.

Slacking!!!

I slept most of Friday and today.So damn tired.... Also massive hangover from last night. I will be doing arms on Monday. Stand by....

At the Gym! Chest Day!

Well I am having a hard time telling if I am actually working my chest like I should. It seems that my arms are giving out before my chest during the workout. I added squats to the beginning of the workout and will see if it helps at all later.

Here is what I did today:

Squats
10x105lbs
10x125
8x125

Dumbbell press
10x30s easy
10x35
10x40 start here next time

reg bench
10x95
8x95
8x95

decline machine
10x50
7x50
8x50

cable flies (a lot of fun)
10x60
10x60
5x80

Decline dumbbell press
10x30
6x30
8x30

Over all I do not fell real good about today's workout. I really wish I had a spotter so I could push more weight, I play it safe because it is just me.

Swimming!

I went to the pool today and did 10 laps. A lap being down and back as 1. Its a great way to workout on a off day that's not really stressful on your joints. Also it is nice to lay out afterward like a turtle in the sun. Yes I am from Louisiana if you didn't get the reference to the turtle thing. I use to work on a turtle pond where they raised them and shipped the eggs over seas. Well back to the workout part of this blog....

I have been looking into ways to stimulate the chemicals in the body to make them recover and promote growth in the muscles. So what I am reading is I need to work my Legs the day before I do Chest! The biggest muscles will produce the chemicals that I need to really gain some mass on my chest and arms. So in conclusion I am gonna rearrange my schedule to do Legs the day before Chest/Back and the day after do Arms/Shoulders!

Day 1

Well let me start off with my stats

5'7"
140lbs
28yrs old

I use to be very active in High School and then in the Army but for the last 5 years I have slacked off so much and you can really tell. I am starting this Blog to hopefully motivate myself to keep going! I do some P90X and go to the gym with little cardio.

To day I went to the local Navy base gym and did Arms

Dumbbell Curls Standing
10x25lbs
10x27.5lbs
10x27.5lbs

I think I can start with 30lbs next time.

TriPush Downs with the cable
10x80lbs
10x100lbs
10x100lbs

I am gonna try for a weight that when I hit the 3rd st I can only do 8. So I am going to increase the weight next time.

Seated Hammer Curls
10x27.5lbs
8x27.5lbs
9x27.5

Defiantly need to try harder on this one. I realized my left arm is weaker than my right.

Isolated TriPush Downs (Cables but with only one arm at a time)
right left
10x40lbs 10x40lbs
8x40lbs 8x40lbs
5x50lbs 5x50lbs

I really liked this weight and exercise. Really made me focus on the tris.

21s 7x7x7

30lbs was light
40lbs start here next time
went back to 30lbs to see if I could do anymore. Yeah didn't happen.

21s are by far my favorite exercise next to bench press.

Dips with the machine
10x100lbs Light
10x130lbs Perfect weight, but don't forget the seat belt!
8x130lbs



I would say over all a good workout. I really could feel it after wards.

I take Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 for my Protein Shake, Amplified Creatine 189, and OneADay Mens Multivitamin.
