Wyrms' Journal

The last 2 days have been very good. In terms of workouts AND in cardio! Work's also been busy so I sweat like hell there too.  =D

Crap. It's been a while!

Well to say the least,

Every day since my last post there has been no dramas. Everything has been perfect and the cardio's been ever more progressive.

Jogging with the dog, jogging post workout, skipping rope daily, workouts have been beyond intense (NROL).

All is superb. Can't wait for Saturday.

cookie day ROFL, that sounds like a brilliant day haha

Also this picture reminded me of them prison films, you know them big guys you see who stare you down as the main person in the film is being walked into the complex.

Its just the way youre squinting into the camera with an evil stare (from the sun in your eyes)

Take the camera out and thats all i can see haha.

Which personally is a good look, you look like one of the prisons predators hahaha-looking awesome man

Suffice to say it was a damn good cookie.

lol, yeah, I see it (about the prison look).

It'd be pretty awesome acting out a prisoner imo. I need to get more pro-active with my acting but a talent agency is hard to get hooked up with... Oh well.

Thanks for the compliments man, I appreciate you looking into the thread at all, haha. :)

Today's been pretty good but I had... another cookie in the middle of the day! Just after a workout. lol

I still got to have my last meal (cottage cheese etc) but I'm about an hour off it... And I have to still wake up for a massive whore of a day tomorrow in 8 hours.

8:30-12:30 - Work
12:30-1:30 - Doctor
4:30-6 - Driving to a uni, picking up a friend (getting paid to do it), go home.
8 - Go to the airport to pick up another friend who's just been in Italy for 2 months.

And some time on that day I have to post up new pics of me for the comp. The very comp which has kept my heart beating, I hope I have a good chance of winning and won't just get thrown completely into the corner. lol

Time to have some chinese food. :p

Last few days since the comp have been good with diet and training.

Been pondering on a new routine though... By the way, NROL is awesome. Definitely gonna re-do Hypertrophy and Fat Loss routines again, just need a change for a while... 8 weeks should do.

Took a bit of thinking and a few influences but I think I sculpted a demon, also going to decrease rest between sets each workout till it gets to the 45 second mark.

I'll do this for 6 weeks excluding this week, so until October 31st.

I've had the sniffles for the last few days and today it's worse. So instead of starting up on my training, as much as I'd like to (seriously, it's a really deep inner battle right now, but I should hold myself back for the sake of getting better and being able to train even harder), I'm gonna start it tomorrow.

And the diet's good... 'Cept Bri's thread makes me want a pizza, so I shall strategically replace my meal 5 for that damn pizza.

BREAKING NEWS:
I went to the doctors today and mentioned a problem... Since the start of the last week, mainly before bed, and a fair bit throughout random parts of the day, I've been having a lot of trouble breathing. It's effected my job, my sleep patterns, driving, and just lounging around in general...

I mentioned a psychiatric referral and anxiety problems, then I mentioned my breathing and my doctor was deadly convinced that my breathing was connected to my anxiety/stress - which kinda sucks massive balls seeing as I have to wait like a month to be able to breathe properly... I guess I'll research some breathing techniques and go into my hypnotism folder, see what I can do.

Diet's generally been good since I last posted. 'Cept today my friend shouted me a burger for lunch, and well, I wasn't gonna say no to a shout. haha

I did my A routine and man did it fudge me up.
Power Cleans... Good lord. At the top of the lift, I mess up, feel like there's too much pressure on my rotator cuff. Gonna down the weight and watch a few more vids.

Alright... Let's play catch up...

Workout B: Felt weird
Workout A: Was freaking awesome. I think I mastered the power clean! Didn't think I would but according to a few people, and the mirror, it's perfect. And there's no excess pressure on my shoulders or anything, I feel great doing them. Best workout in a while. Love Power Cleans.
Workout B: Today. Was nice. Warm weather though. My legs are dead.

Diet's been pretty spot-on except due to budget cuts (starting my cert 4 in Personal Training next week) I replaced a steak meal with an egg white omelet.

And I think over the last few days I might've had a bite of chocolate here and there, but quite literally that, a bite.

Well I think I've done a good job of maintaining my physique. And I've been more active and sweating a bit more as the weather's getting a lot warmer.

Summer's around the corner. But if I wanna cut up I'm gonna have to up the cardio - so today I'm gonna strenuously spend the next week or so cleaning the pool. lol

Also today, I had a kebab and ice cream. It's weird though... I thought 'It's been about a week since I touched anything bad for me aside from a bit of chocolate, so there was this desire for something - anything - that could satisfy my junk crave, except...I couldn't think of anything. So kebabs and ice cream was a last minute decision with friends but even then, it didn't really satisfy me. At all.

And now that I think about it, I think I had an epiphany. I can't think of any junk food that I actually desire. It's the desire itself that kept me going and made me feel rewarded but now I'm consciously aware of that so I'm pretty sure that I'm not gonna touch any take-out food for a while. Really decreasing intake of that. Let's see how far my word goes.

One more thing... Starting my course for Personal Training on Monday, gah, I'm lazy but I have to force myself through it.

Sh1t.

Just.

Sh1t.

I've been trying to keep my diet as good as possible but I'd have to replace something with a protein shake or a steak meal with egg whites or something. I'm finding it really hard to cope right now. Really stressed out.

Financially, I'm a wreck and it's breaking down all my walls. Workouts have been excellent, meals could be a notch higher but good nonetheless but I don't know how long I can keep it up.

I should be fine with finances but it's a pain in the arse.

Diet's been on and off. Been trying to keep everything clean but here and there I'd have to replace a meal with an omelet or some cereal or some milk or whatever. I think I should be alright.

I worked out for like 6 hours yesterday (not continuously) as apart of my course, learned a lot of new things, and was corrected in small errors in my form by my peers. Very beneficial.
Squats, Single Leg Squats, Rotational Squats, Overhead Squats, Overhead Single Leg Squats, Lunges, Walking Lunges, Rotational Lunges, Overhead Lunges, Overhead Press/Walking Lunges together, Suitcase Deadlifts, Stiff-Leg Deadlifts, Sumo Deadlift.

Good stuff.

I'm gonna incorporate a few of these into my workout at a time for variation and balance.

I'm replacing the last set of Squats in workout A with 2 setf of OH Walking Lunges.
I'm replacing Squats in workout B with Single Leg Squats.
I'm replacing Bulgarians in workout B with Stiff-Leg Deadlifts and adding a set.


So:

A
Squat - 2x 12,5
Overhead Walking Lunges, 2x 10
Bench Press - 2x 12,5
Incline DB Press - 1x 10-12
Decline DB Flyes - 1x 10-12
