A New Sheep - 7/4/2006 6:17:35 AM

After finishing chapter 5 of BFFM, I have come to the conclusion I have a good amount of endomorph in me.  This can explain why I always go sit down and watch TV rather than wanting to do athletics.  This also can explain why while sitting down, instead of being productive, like say, logging a fitness journal, I do nothing.
 
But, I will not use this as an excuse to be lazy, I intend to embrace my endomorphic side and use it as motivation.  I need it to get my lazy ass off the couch and computer everyday.  Sometimes, I am so lazy, I think to myself, you should go to sleep to be well rested, but instead, I continue to sit on the computer doing nothing productive.
 
So, this being said, be prepared for me to start this journal which I intend to keep.  The first workout I log should be tomorrow’s quad and ham workout.  I intend to log even “rest” days.  I want to see results.  Every time they come, I get sidetracked, and when I return, I start back at the bottom of the hill.
 
I need to lift the weights and do the cardio.  I need to structure my meal plan and STOP going out with my friends several times a week for food.  I need to resist the cravings for delicious sweets.
 
I need to stop making excuses for missing the gym; I only hurt myself in the end.

Pester me, do not allow my laziness to continue.

I find that a new routine or some crazy workout keeps me motivated.

Kinda challenging.  I'll be honest.

My biggest inspiration comes from trying to follow BodybuildingSecrets.com and seeing if I'm anywhere near as crazy as Venuto.

While he's obviously not in my gym, I do find it sort my own competitive nature keeps me motivated to see if I have the guts to keep up.

Many times, I get my butt handed to me.  Other times, I'm pretty proud. 

Sounds like you need some serious motivation.  Passion bro!  Passion.

Week One, Day One

Today I went into the gym with my friend, I was dead tired.  Fueled on 4 hours of sleep and a long day of work, I proceeded to attack my Quads and Hammies.  They put up no defense.  Must have relaxed too much since they weren't hit in over a month.  Well, one things for sure, I won't be walking right tomorrow.  I always detest the first Squat day back, they always fail too early.  I even went easy by taking 20 lbs of of my last leg day.

Squats
1 set of 8 reps @ 165lbs
2 sets of 5 reps@ 165lbs

DB Lunges
3 sets of 8 reps @ 15lb DB

Stiff Legged Deads
2 sets of 8 reps @ 145lbs
1 set of 5 reps @ 145lbs

20 minutes on a Recumbent Bike

The girl I went with will help me make sure I do Cardio.  I think on Friday, next time she comes, we are going to do 40 min on the bike.

I planned to do Leg Extensions and Leg Curls in addition to what I did, but, I ended up barely able to move.  In the stiffies I felt like puking, so I gave up.

Next leg day will rock!  I will be prepared and hopefully more rested!

Stay tuned for tomorrow!

Don't I know it!

Its always like this when I come back, ESPECIALLY legs.

So far today they are not sore, which is good, but right now it feels like I am dragging logs.

I really wish it won't be too sore tomorrow, because I will be doing deads.

Today is just shoulders and triceps... just a preview!  Should be ok, I kept up a little more with shoulders.

Sheep.... just curious.

Have you any written goals of what you want to accomplish short term/long term with your workouts?

Or are you just working out and trying to move forward in some capacity?

I do have them, written on my office wall, with reminders to read them in my outlook calendar.

My diet still needs cleaning up.  I will get to that very soon.   I have to wait  until I can get organized, I have no time to prepare right now, But as soon as I have the free time, I already have meals planned out.

Week One, Day Two

Today I was dragging my legs behind me all day.  Fueled on 5 hours of sleep this time, I went in and left my ego at the door.  I did only 30 second rests between sets, and 1 min between excercises.  My shoulders got hit pretty good, but tri's didn't really die.  Next time I'll up the weight slightly and quiver in pain. 

Standing Military Press
1 set of 8 reps @ 75lbs
1 set of 6 reps @ 75lbs
1 set of 4 reps @ 75lbs

DB Side Raises
3 sets of 8 reps @ 10lbs

Reverse Pec Deck
3 sets of 8 reps @ 75lbs

Straight Bar Cable Pressdowns
3 sets of 8 reps @ 70lbs

Skull Crushers
3 sets of 8 reps @ 35lbs

One Arm Overhead DB Extension
3 sets of 8 reps @ 10lbs

20 minutes on a Recumbent Bike


For the One Arm Overhead DB Extension's, I left myself no rest, did left, right, left, right, left, right.  I can up the weight, but on rep 8 of set 3 I was struggling... It was kind of sad.  But My shoulders looked so swole in the mirror and the tris were sticking out nicely aswell.

I can walk even less now, silly biking.

Tomorrow I am planning Back, Calves, Abs and Cardio... I hope i feel good enough to do Deadlifts and standing calf raises!

I forgot to mention, when I do squats, I bring my ass down as far as it goes, almost to the ground.

Lordy,

It is with great disappointment I announce that I will not be doing Deadlifts and Bent Over Rows today :(
I can barely support my own weight, let alone 200+ more lbs!

I will not stop this from getting a good workout though.  I will replace it with less straining on the leg excercises today, as for calves, I will only be able to hit them from seated position today.

Tomorrow I planned a chest workout, but I think I will REST, and take it Sunday instead of resting Sunday.  Then My legs will be good to kill again on Monday I hope!

Week One, Day Three

Today I was dragging my legs behind me all day.  Fueled on 4 hours of sleep once again, and sore sore glutes and legs.  I did a pansy back workout with my little training partner, who smiles the entire time, even when shaking from the strain.  Rest was minimal, the time it took us to switch spots to do the excercises.

Cable Low Row
1 set of 8 reps @ 115lbs
2 sets of 8 reps @ 130lbs

Lat Pull Down
3 sets of 8 reps @ 100lbs

Hyper Extensions (BB)
3 sets of 8 reps @ 25lbs


Seated Calf Raise
1 set of 12 reps @ 140lbs
2 sets of 12 reps @ 180lbs

Light Abdominal work, includin Leg lifts, hanging knee raises, and crunches.

30 minutes on an Upright Bike, 145 BPM

I was soaked with sweat.  Today was a good day.  I printed out my meal plan today and plan to do groceries this weekend.  Tomorrow is a rest, Sunday back to gym for chest and Bi's.  I don't know if I will be able to make monday, because I have to go to school to sign up for my final presentation.  Tuesday, I have class.
