Vytis Chapter II - The Realization of a Dream

[Vytis]

Here's a recent shot of the back that I posted in the O35 pic journal. Sitting at 228 lbs (morning weight).

That shoulders to waist ratio

Back looks great Vytis! And arms look strong. I like the lines I'm seeing from delts and tri's and the bicep peaks look peaky

You really have a hard time with that head of yours. It's a frequent visitor and still you manage to get some training done

Hope you have a great week! V. aesthetic build too.

[ArchAngel'73]

Put that onstage and you'll be blocking da lights!
Amazing V taper.

Thanks Lou1se, you're sweet. Funny that you brought my headaches up though, because another did strike yesterday afternoon, so my planned workout was scrapped.

Thanks guys. Still a work in progress...


Like I mentioned my workout didn't happen lastnight, so I did it this morning instead of cardio:

Pull

Face Pulls - 4 sets
RG Pull Down - 4 sets
Cable Row - 4 sets
Side Lateral - 3 sets
DB Curl - 3 sets

Not too impressive either....I had a hard time getting up this morning and felt generally fatigued the whole way through. I need to step it up a notch...

[Vytis]

Didn't do anything after work yesterday. Should have...feel kind of sloth-like because of it....

Cardio this morning - 30 min HIIT.

Push workout tonight...

[Vytis]

Last night I had a good Push session:

Incline press - 9 sets - working up to 4 sets of 295 for 3 reps
Squat - 6 sets
Triceps Press Down - 4 sets

This morning decided to hit the weights again - Pull workout:

BB Row - 5 sets
Lat Pull Down - 5 sets
Cable Row - 3 sets
Side Lateral - 4 sets
BB Curl - 4 sets

Since it's starting to get warm out I may start up the after work walks with one of the boys. That means lifting in the morning and leaving the cardio for the PM.

[Vytis]

I did take that late afternoon walk. It's nice to finally enjoy some nice weather again. Summer's coming!

This morning it was back to Push:

Bench Press - 7 sets
Squat - 6 sets
Chest Press - 5 sets
Calf Raise - 5 sets
OH Cable Extension - 4 sets

Not really pleased with my output this morning. I felt super tired getting out of bed, like I didn't really get a restful sleep. I did "wake up" during the workout, but my squats still sucked big time. Just didn't have any power. I may need to give my legs a bit of a break from this EOD schedule. Squatting 3 times/week may have finally caught up with me.

[Lou1se]

Squats 3 times a week!

Can relate to that feeling, I work out tired most of the time until I crash

Rest up but keep up with the walks, the days are to good to miss and especially with your boys.

They grow up so fast, enjoy every moment

[Vytis]

I kind of got bored with posting my workouts, and they're nothing to get excited about. I lift things up, I put them down...repeat.

Here are some current lifts if you're interested:

Squat - 285x20 (been playing around with the 20 rep program)
Incline Press - 315x3
BB Curl - 165x5
Pull Down - 260x10
Side Lateral - 65x10

What is exciting is that it's Little Baby Evan's 2nd B-Day party this Saturday. He won't be Little Baby Evan anymore.

Hi

[Vytis]

Hi

Hey!


We celebrated Little Baby Evan's 2nd Birthday on Saturday. I guess he's not Little Baby Evan anymore...

[bcapprentice]

Was the cake your creation?
Yes they grow up quickly. Before you know it, they'll be pushing you in the gym!

[Bo_Flecks]

Tell "young" Evan happy birthday for me!!!

I baked the cake and made the icing and my wife decorated. It was actually not that hard. BTW, it was a Red Velvet cake with Cream Cheese Frosting....

Tell "young" Evan happy birthday for me!!!

Thanks Steve!

[Lou1se]

Evan is 2 already!!! Happy Birthday and what a lovely cake :-) You and your wife make a great team!

Great pics and I couldn't help notice he had an Elmo shirt on.

Thanks Lou1se, we do make a great team. Evan is into Elmo right now, along with Thomas the Tank engine and Lightning McQueen. He takes after his older brother.
