Well we are finally starting to work out again. I did squats today. But don't really remmeber the reps and weight too well. During class, a kid dropped a 10 lbs. weight on his foot and busted uped the nail so there was blood. Well, that kid faints at the sight of blood and my routine was cut in half. This sucks. I guess we will finish it tomorrow but I don't know. The kid is alright. But man that sucks. I was really feeling my legs today.

abs and cardio baby! Bad news is I have no idea how long and for how many reps we did stuff because it was off the wistle and I wasn't couting. All I know is that I got a good workout in.

Man it has been a while. Well I have been playing in showcase tournaments held at various colleges in the southeast and trying to get college to start watching me for next year. I have continued pretty much my same routine throughout my absence but have done it at school instead of my basement. I maxed out on the 3 main lifts we do at school the past two days. They were:
Bench:250 lbs
Cleans:260 lbs
Squat:365 lbs
 
I am gonna continue lifting and eating and running this way because I have seen pretty impressive gains for period of time I have been doing this. I will do my best to keep this updated better but I have been swamped with baseball and school everyday ontop of working out so it leaves little time for the net.

I am from Atlanta, GA. I want to go to a school where I can play and still take my premed classes. I was thinking like Duke, Emory. But I will probably go JuCo for my first 2 years and get the core classes out of the way because it it cheaper. It really just depends on what offers I get and how doable they are with my life. My cousin pitched for Austin P. so I might try to go there because he liked it. I don't know i am just a Junior right now. I gotta see what what is available before I make a major decision.

I have been pretty slack on my journal. Actually I have sucked it up at keeping this thing up to date considering it has been like a year since I last updated. lol.

Because the transformation contest is about to start, I figured I would start it up again so i can make a visual representation of what I have done, and if that will help me get to where I want to be.

Today was the first day back into the lifting routine that I do during 1st period at school.

The weekly schedule looks like this:
Mon/Wed     Legs (long toss and run on wed)
Tues/Thurs  Back/chest/baseball workout with abs/baseball running
Fri              Freeday- which will most likely consist of ultimate 4-square
Sat             Rest
Sun            Bullpen/running

The current maxes that I am getting my percentages from for all my lifts are:
Squat- 405
Bench- 270
Power Clean- 300

I am currently 177.5 lbs.

Since today was Mon. we hit up squats, front squats, and strait legged deadlift. Coach is trying to ease us back into lifting by going high rep low weight.

Back Squat
1x12 at 185 lbs
2x10 at 225 lbs
2x8 at 245 lbs
1x6 at 275 lbs

Front Squat
2x5 at 135
1x5 at 160

Straight legged deadlift
3x8 at 135 lbs

I also had my first day of throwing bullpens on Sundays yesterday. I threw for maybe 20 minutes at about 80% trying to hit spots.

After throwing we had to run a mile and a half in under 9 minutes. Then we had some explosion and lateral movement drills.

I am kinda dreading the next three days of lifting at 7:10 in the morning and then going to baseball practice where we do a ton of reps light weight and abs then run.

I have a feeling my lower body is gonna feel like I got reamed by two black guys at the end of the week.

P.S.
Here are my progress pics up to this point. I actually think I have lost some since the last pics I took.
