NOTES:
-usually do a bit of cardio pre/post, but knee hurt out of the blue...random
-wide-grips felt a bit in the shoulders today, but not bad. i like keeping these a bit lighter to really feel my lats work rather than hurting my shoulders
-seated rows felt good...did these slow, and really felt them in my back
-finally have a hyper thing agaiN!(new gym). immediate lower-back pump I'm still feeling today. nice!
-smith shrugs didnt feel real nice...their smith is weird, but the racks were already in use with a line(went at 6pm..oops)
-DB shrugs....100lb = max DBs :( Good forearm pump and veins, did one set in front, one on side
-hammer MTS row is a hamer strength machine. the grip is underhand, and it's a seated low row. very good feeling for the rear delt and back!
-solid workout. numbers are still down a bit, but should kick up soon

Supplementation:
-coffee protein shake pre
-3 hydroxycut pre

traditionally my time management sucks lol...but it's easier now witha wife to help. plus I'm alot more dedicated/focused with grad school than I was in undergrad
her dieting/working out with me helps as well

note about the wife:

she's 5'7 130. she's not fat or anything, she just likes the figure girl look, and wants a 6-pack. when she flexes you can see the top 2 abs and some outline on the outer edge. that's her reasons for working out. (no fatty)(yes fitness minded)(yes hot)(no pics)

I will also be taking(soon to finish) hydroxycut thermo(any ideas for next product?), a joint compound, NOX-CG3, a multi and drinking lots of tea.

Congrats on the marriage as well.

As far as a suggestion for your next product, check out BURN 3D. I took it a few months back and I was very impressed. 270 caps per bottle is always nice...

I just got done taking the new BSN Atro-Phex. It is a pretty impressive thermogenic, and honestly, it does make you feel good. I was plesently suprised. The only setback is the price. It isn't cheap. I would say to give it a try though.

Here is the link for more info.

supplements:
currently have 3 kinds of protein powder. I will also be taking(soon to finish) hydroxycut thermo(any ideas for next product?), a joint compound, NOX-CG3, a multi and drinking lots of tea.

I'm not sure how many supplements you are taking, or want to take, but here are a few of the ones that you should really try.

1) Red Dragon Beta-Alanine *****
2) Universal-Torrent-post workout shake *****
3) Kre-Alkalyn-creatine that is buffered..good stuff. *****
4) Fish Oil or Flaxseed Oil
5) CLA-this helps you lose fat!!!

As far as protein powders-it is often a toss up. I have found ON 100% Whey Gold standard to be very good for when the fast acting whey is needed...first thing in the morning and added to my post workout shake, and BSN Syntha-6 is great for a longer lasting protein.

That is why I mentioned Atro-Phex in the prior post. I didn't see any of these other supplements listed though...and the ones with 5*'s...are the best supplements I've taken. I wouldn't train without them. Just some suggestions.

-when a set says -> (example: 150x7->120x2) it means it was a drop set

Your workout was basically the same like mine,for only 4 sets each routine and It was really good to do a drop set for a continuous pump on the chest.

However, tilapia was probably one of the most tastiest fish out there,plus it was cheaper compared to other fish like tuna and salmon,but still the best for dieting..

I'm seeing some more Icarian exercises... what are those, man? Just curious, but why are you working triceps the next day when you just did chest the day before? Doesn't seem like such a good idea since they're not getting enough time to recover... plus, you can't hit them as hard when they're sore. Don't think I'm trying to hate on you, bro... I'm not. ;) I'm just wondering.

Also... no squats? *shakes head* You disappoint me. ;) :D Anyways, man... good job on your workout.

Nah it works out fine, the triceps don't get destroyed on the chest workout,. Say you lifted boxes off the ground and moved them, you can still deadlift the next day, it's kind of like that. Also triceps/biceps/forearms all recover quickly compared to chest/quads/lats and other huge muscles.

ah, ok. I guess I was always under the impression that, say, if you didn't work chest with tris or back with bis, then space them out to where you don't end up doing biceps the day after back, etc.

I have a lower back injury from HS wrestling and it SUCKS! Do you ever do squats, I just recently was able to get back into doing them and I can still fell some sharp pains. I'm going to try a few more times but if that doesn't work out then it's the Smith Machine for me.

Just wondering what you do if you don't normally do squats?

BPP,

Congrats on the workout - it looks solid.

If you're trying to drop the pounds while gaining muscle, I've been experiencing great results by doing the following:

1.) Morning Cardio on an empty stomach, 30-45 minutes with additional core strengthening exercises.
2.) Night workout with 20-30 minutes of cardio.

I've been gaining muscle and strength by doing this while shedding fat. Granted, it takes up more time in your day but is VERY much worth it. You can knock the morning session out easily in an hour (light jog outside), and the night session shouldn't take more than 1.5 hours. Combined with the right diet (yours looks solid), you will get results fast.

nice Yardie, you added minutes of hours in your cardio session.In my case,I like more doing it on a stationary bike,less tension on my knees and burns a lot of calories.I really sweat a lot,really.I feel so refreshed afterwards.

Dang, no way would I want to do that much cardio. My knees would hate me, football, lacrosse and wrestling took their toll:p

When you say first and second is two separate times(of the day) or back to back? Looking good though.

sorry for the delay

a few days ago I was involved in another resisting case after a pursuit...I wasn't in uniform because i was only on to do my qualifying shoot...well, I got involved to help, and was caught without my duty gloves i wear for stuff like this.

long story short, got into it with a resisting suspect after he stopped...him and the pursuing officer were on the ground when I got there. i got his hands behind his back and got him cuffed(similar to last week, almost another omaplata but he wiggled out, so just basic kimora type stuff). in the process, i sustained a few cuts and scrapes to my hands and knuckels, and scratched my wedding ring. he had already sustained a large cut to the head somehow, and I got his blood all over my hands/shirt and in my wounds.

as such, spent the other evening in the hospital getting shots and blood draws...get to go through AIDS testing for a year now, as well as meetings with the prosecutor to subpeona blood draws on him..with the blood drawn, some of the shots and everything, I missed a few days(that day was really weak from the blood draw, since I've had a sore shoulder from the tetanus shot). hence the delay...plus it's my first midterm week as a grad student

ouch

came home from class tonight...walking in the parking lot, even wearing my work boots..... slipped and fell, landed hard on my right side

cut my right palm and smashed my pointer finger tip(a bit dark under the nail, but not bad)

lower backs a bit sore, but not bad

but my right knee took most of the hit, and was the leg i had my weight on when it slipped out

now it's bruised under the kneecap/top of the tib anterior/shin, and the lateral side is a bit swollen and very tender....after sitting here working on a paper for an hour or so, got up and it was very stiff

not lookin forward to feelin it tomorrow :(

BPP

12-10-2007, 10:39 AM

update:

got worse over the weekend...went to the doc today

sent me for xrays...asked for her opinion(pre x-ray), she said with everything, she suspects possibly a meniscus tear or a PCL partial tear/injury

the back hurts the worst now, goin up the hammy a bit, and my leg locks out sometimes when walking...plus she said the PCL area is pretty swollen and feels a bit odd...which is why she thinks that might be it

pretty much hurts 24/7...feels best slightly bent. side movements and torque at all, plus the brusiing along the front, make her suspicious of the meniscus

sent me for xray also bc of tenderness/pain when touching the top/outer part of the tibula near the knee...said its swollen and a bit different looking from the other basically, so wants to rule out a small fracture

no cardio or leg involvement for awhile for me :(

saw a nurse practionioner who was having a bad day

told me absolutely nothing. tested for PCL tear(did my google research)...made the pcl area hurt alot worse after doing such

then lectured me for not taking ibuprofen regularly, that I "wasnt doing much to heal"

then made me an appt. Tue to see their doc, who if still bothering me, will "do what I just did then refer you to an ortho"

waste of time, but basically seems they're treating as a PCL sprainI know the feeling man, Around 2 to 2 1/2 months ago I ruptured a couple disc in my neck doing barbell curls, Took me a month to find out what happen, Had to wait to get in to see the Doctor, Then they had to make me a neurosurgeon appt, In the mean time they told me to take 400 to 800 mg of ibuprofen. 2 months later I'm going to the chiro and getting my neck stretched. Gonna start back ''Lord Willing'' at the first of the year

took some days off...no supplements(except joint formula and ibuprofen for the knee)

went to the doctor yesterday. said it's a sprained PCL thats healing nicely. should be back to 100% in a month or so

i can run/squat/etc...just cant do any BJJ or torquing motions until then

he said it'll have some worse days with flareups, but should slowly/steadily get better

he also tested the entire knee and found that my ACL is loose...if it's stable and not painful he's not worried, but said to keep an eye on it in the future for problems

What are your goals for this log?

i like having logs online

but currnet goals are to drop to ~200 or less.... <10% bf...get cut up

mostly working towards upcoming physical tests for other PDs im applying to + my MMA training...increasing endurance, strenght, etc in a practical way for fighting and testing

basically, think of it as boot camp..some strenght, some endurance, and alot of conditioning to get t3h r1pped :D

today was fun actually....I love rolling, I get tired, but recover quicker than most of the guys and regain my wind(thanks to 5 years on the fire dept and extensive training in police tactics for shootouts, searches etc....ive done alot of training for controlling breathing and tactical breathing, it helps a TON). left BJJ and felt so good I grabbed a bottle of water with a scoop of green MAG and hit the treadmill. put my new mp3 player on some hatebreed, then put up a pic(yes mp3/pic/vid mp3 player) of sean sherk in the ring ripped...pounded out my cardio.

I can only imagine. My entire dads side of the family were firemen, a good 5-6 generations. I hear a lot of stories, and my uncle who is 49 is going through all his testing and it sounds pretty brutal, especially at that age.

Glad to see your married brother! May you grow old and happy together, but for the time being have a great time and love each other!

it varies

yesterday i warmuped up for 5 min, then set it at a 3.5mph walk @ 5 degree incline...every 3 minutes, increased one or the other until it was at 4.2mph and 12 degree incline

how long did you do BJJ for? i'm getting into it this summer, but proabbaly will only be able to go to classes twice a week and am trying to figure out if it is worth it.

year and a half, twice a week(used to do 3x)....especially at first, 2x/week is worth it, you'll learn alot, and be sore enough/tired enough to just do that

yeah, played since my dad cut down clubs at like 4-5 years old. played junior league at my country club for years, junior tournaments, some high school....had a college scholorship lined up when i went back for grad school(undergrad school didnt have a team), but had elibility issues due to being a grad student(complicated BS).

so now i wanna get way into it again, play competitively this summer locally, and improve into 09 to try and play some on a smaller tour if possible

also part of why were plannin to try and move to phoenix/scottsdale...170 courses in the valley and year round golf!

when i played alot a few years back, just out of HS, i was holding around a 4-6 handicap, not practicing, just playing 2-3x week

when i got on the PD, i didnt play nearly as much due to work and training. i tghink i finished last year with a 7 handicap. i wanna get that down this summer to around a 2-3.

ive always been good on distance, chipping(touch around greens) and putting

my struggles were always iron accuracy, sand play and control....which are 3 things i think i can pretty easily work out with extra practice and some coaching

my dad originally was gonna go to school(1 of 3 at the time nationally i think) for pro golf management, so hes a very good teacher. he was a scratch golfer until we got rear-ended years ago, and since then his back has had 3 major operations(bolts, cages, etc), so he had to readjust, and playing mostly punch shots now still has a 4 lol

I've always done well off the tee, on the fairway and around the green. sand play and putting are the toughest for me. seems like im further away from the hole when im 20 ft from the pin than at the tee box :( I have got to improve that part of my game

what putting grip do you use?

when i got inconsistent a few years back, I switched to cross-handed

at first it was weird, but a few weeks of hard work on it made it work wonderfully, no more wristing, excellent control, etc

i absolutely love cross-handed putting, it's been a moneymaker for me

overlap grip. i used to interlock, but became more comfortable with overlap. I haven't tried cross-handed, but that seems like an excellent way to minimize wristing. i'm gonna try it, thanks BPP

yeah, try out the cross-hand...it will very weird at first day or two, but give it a true trial and you'll likely end up liking it..makes it virtually impossible to wrist a putt.

golf is based on legs, core, lats and delts. russian twists are popular for obliques....heavy lat pulldowns and pullups for the lats...lateral raises for delts...and I use a specific tricep/core lift. i put the rope on the high cable pulley, grip it like a golf club at the top of my backswing(eg, stand sideways to it, golf stance)...and explosively twist it to impact point. works tricep extension, oblique twist, lat pulldown, etc all at once.

the resort we were at last week had a modified bar that was equipped with a real golf grip and an o-ring to do the same thing I just expained only with a real club grip.

alot of golfers who are into strength training also do squats, lunges, etc. also a lot of grip/forearm work for a stronger grip, especially helpful in thick rough

BPP

03-09-2008, 05:07 PM

oh hai, BPP, how are gains going? :cool:

other than the swimming, hiking and 1 day lifting...most of my honeymoon/vacation was spent lifting my fork :D

nice day, but sleeted/snowed last night, so no actual play today

indoor driving range: ~200 balls

worked with my dad(swing coach)...learned some new stuff, including mastery of tiger's stinger shot, new ball movement techniques, etc

im swinging VERY good for being this early. plus the gym specific is paying off, as Im more flexible, and making alot harder/faster passes at the ball(while not going 100% either).

the range has a real teaching pro too, talked with him for awhile. its always funny, my swing has always been...hard. very hard. i ALWAYS get comments from older folks about chiropracters(sp?), my poor back, etc haha. had a nice chat with the pro today about it, got a compliment out of it too :D

also, since I'm serious about pursuing a golf career, I applied for a few spots open this year for assistant golf pro positions. got an email back on one today, interviewing soon. its more money, free golf, and a great resume boost...when we move to phoenix, ill likely work at a course for $$ off the bat, so prior experience will help. plus it's one of the best courses anywhere nearby, so it's free golf at a freaking NICE course.

yes excited

dunno how itd work with work...but with the pay, i might even move back to part-time work at the pd during that time. (yes dead serious about trying to be a pro golfer)

33 and sleet today

sounds terrible.

golf sounded good though, what new tips did you pick up? good luck with getting a position there, seems like it would really fit with what you're trying to do.

Hey BPP havent checked in in a while! Glad youre honeymoon went well! So you're gettin serious into golf again eh?! I just started back up. I played like crazy back in HS but since then I havent played nearly enough. Just started lessons again cause I was struggling to play consistent. I used to be like a 8-10 HC but now I'm like 25 :eek: I see you're a CG putter...I've been puttin cross for years now but I just recently started to go back to normal putting for long putts. Have you ever done this?! Its amazing how much better you putt long ones when you use a normal grip compared to cross. My pro thought it would be good for me to try cause long putts have always been a problem for me since ya kinda gotta force it when your grips crossed. Just wanted your thoughts on this...

lol yeah

worked on moving the ball using setup versus swing changes. also worked with blade irons versus the cavity backs(normal irons) i use now. blade style irons can 'work' the ball more for better movement, so gonna be switching to those this year
