Yea, so umm..... Chaz made a journal

[Miketoc]

I am pretty sure you are just making half of those exercises up. Actually you keep a pretty good log and I still check it from time to time. Keep up the good work.

Strangely I know all these exercises now. I remember back in the day looking at chazzy's journal and being so freakin confused.

Overall Notes:
Today wasn't bad but not good. I got all the target reps, just didn't feel overly strong or anything.

Knocked out a bit on the treadmill as well. It was a pretty pathetic cardio session. Did 4 cycles of 1 min @ 2mph, 1min @ 4mph and 2 min @ 6mph. My legs and low back were pretty much shot. I never do cardio on Fridays, but figured I needed to do it.

U been avin' estrogen shakes, m8?

[chazzy1864]

Haha I don't like the latter exercises. I could do more, but... I don't.

I do use crisp form with them though. I have a controlled descent, quick pause at the bottom, then come back up.

[Woody-5]

Nice GMs. Squats must be a bitch after those eh?

Wtf is cardio?

[chazzy1864]

The squats aren't bad, but it was completely awkward the first set. Transitioning to high bar and trying to perform a squat after all of the GMs.


Cardio is somethign that *******s do. True story.

I thought you wanted to focus on your quads more?

[chazzy1864]

I thought you wanted to focus on your quads more?

I did, for awhile. Until my disdain for quad work reared its ugly head again.

[moshvr]

Miring the GMs ... haven't popped in here in a while. Glad you're done with that deload and are back to having ******* workouts

[-Lucifer]

I did, for awhile. Until my disdain for quad work reared its ugly head again.

I effin' <3 front squats. Seriously, my quads have gotten so much more stronger, and I don't even go that heavy (I do 6x5). My low-bar squat form has improved; no more 'GM' reps when my legs get fatigued. Keep at it, Charlie.

Why the f*ck would you do squats after exhausting your lower back with good mornings? Were you drunk?








You were drunk, weren't you?

300 lb GMs is pretty serious, nice work Chuzzle.

Hahha I haven't worked out while drunk/drinking in over a year!


The high bars are fine after the GMs. not much low back involvement, especially since I don't have to worry about butt wink/low back rounding anymore.

Overall Notes:
Good workout overall. Elbow started to try to get angry, but no real problem. Cardio was tough as hell, but I did it all. Sweating my ass off and was sucking wind.



No lie, someone else was beating off in the stall next to me while I took my pre-workout poop. I am starting to become concerned.

This guy wasn't as obvious as his actions didn't rattle/shake the stall or anything. But... YOU CAN SEE A F*CKING SHADOW under the stall wall. So I can see the shadow of his arm going to town. Then he did mess up and at some point during the middle of his "session" he must've stopped focusing and let out two moans/grunts. I chuckled.

[-Lucifer]

my pre-workout poop.

Doesn't this annoy you? Do you have to poop every time you take your pre-workout?

[chazzy1864]

Doesn't this annoy you? Do you have to poop every time you take your pre-workout?

I am annoyed when it doesn't happen now. Part of my ritual and I feel better once it is finished.

[Woody-5]

Lol how can one fap in a public bathroom especially when someone's taking a dump right next to you?

Notes:
-Not horrible


Overall Notes:
Decent session. Woke up alert and awake, but I had trouble falling asleep last night which cut into my overall sleep. I didn't feel weak this session, but I didn't feel strong either and didn't have a lot of internal drive. I was resting a lot. Nothing horrible, but it was more just a blah feeling as I sat there staring.

I got sidetracked a lot watching this trio of hispanic bros who are always in there. They were doing "squats" today. Not a single squat was done this day.

Que? Then wtf were they doing? I'm assuming they did 'knee bends'?

[chazzy1864]

Que? Then wtf were they doing? I'm assuming they did 'knee bends'?

Yep yep. 1/4 squats, knees caving in, going on tip toes. You know the drill.

[-Lucifer]

Chaz, is it very humid over there?

Yep yep. 1/4 squats, knees caving in, going on tip toes. You know the drill.

I'd like to say hello to them when they're 40 or older.

[chazzy1864]

Not really humid. It is too cold for it at the moment. In the summer it is humid sometimes due to the frequent rain. But it doesn't have that constant muggy feeling like say Florida does.

[chazzy1864]

Anyone have experience with BSN Hyper FX? I went and bought some at the store today. The stims in Cellucor C4 aren't doing much for me. Picked this up since it's main thing is as a stimulant supp (it does have some beta alanine in it, but not sure how much, since BSN never discloses how much of an individual ingredient it has in it).. But I figure if I take it and C4 before my workout I'll be good to go.

This is the supp: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bsn/hyper-fx.html

lol @ a major "selling point" is "Geranium-Free Energy". I WANT GERANIUM ROOT EXTRACT!!!

For those that are unaware, DMAA is either the same thing or made from Geranium Root. I'm sure I have supps in my stash in the states that has DMAA in it. I can't wait to get back to that! I think I have a bottle or few of this: http://www.***********.com/product/g...e-90-caps.html

I used to take 2 pills (sometimes only 1, depending on the caffeine content of my pre) along with my pre-workout before workouts in the past.

45 x 15 / 140 x 12
45 x 15 / 140 x 12
Notes:
-The bros were still on their smiths. Did preachers again. The contraction was actually better in the 65lb set, until I got to set #2. After the 10th rep, my bis were screaming. 3rd set took some gritting to get through.


Overall Notes:
I didn't do any cardio. I was out of energy and drive by this point. I took the BSN Hyper Fx along with my usual dosing of C4 and felt great. Butttttt....... there is a snowstorm today and it took twice as long to get to the gym (60 minutes instead of 30 minutes) than usual. So I had a good workout with intensity, but by this point I just wanted to be done.

The roads are covered in snow and people are petrified. I drive easy, but because I'm such a bad ass, I turn the traction control off in my ol' 1 series Bimmer and slide around almost every turn for sh*ts and giggles. In the parking lot at my office i did some donuts before pulling into my spot.


Also, i can't explain my weight. I swear I'm cutting. I don't think I've eclipsed 2500 calories in any given day for quite awhile. If I have, I definitely haven't passed 3000 calories. Plus the extra cardio I do most of the time.

But whatever, I'll gladly take a recomp over a cut.

It would be better if you bought yourself a bathroom scale and weighed yourself (naked) at the same time everyday. Your clothes can add up to 5 lbs sometimes, and different outfits will weigh more or less than each other.

I weigh myself on the electric scale in the gym locker room, post-shower wearing only the towel. The only difference in my weight would be due a difference in the towels themselves and that has shown to be a difference upwards of 0.6lbs and/or any fluids that are still in my system, although I do try to evacuate my bladder as much as possible before weighing myself.

I know the feel of weightloss. I added more LISS this week a long with increasing the caloric deficit because weight didn't budge last week. I'm hoping to lose two lbs at least this week just to see that my body is still responding lmfao:P Good looking workout chazman

Q. Have you seen noticeable growth since you started doing BTB upright rows?

Q. Have you seen noticeable growth since you started doing BTB upright rows?

I believe so. I feel my posterior delts trump the other two delt heads.

Aside: I have probably linked this song in here before, but oh well. It is an awesome song and you all should enjoy it on this off day.
