The Beast BRINGS IT!!!

[HARRYBEAST]

BACKGROUND
So here are the basics I have been lifting consistently for the past 10 years, almost constantly yo-yoing from 240 to 220 and occasionally breaking into the 210s. I am sick of it. No more half-assing things. From now on I WILL BRING IT in everything I do. The goal here is not a short term weight loss, but a lifestyle change. Each day I will be working hard to meet my goals. Oddly enough this whole change was sparked by something that I am embarassed to still watch.....


To constantly remind me of my motto I have copied this picture and stuck a copy of this at work, in my car, and on my fridge at home, as well as one in my workout journal

Sometimes inspiration comes from weird places. I guess you could say I am joining team BRING IT

THE BEGINNING
Pics









Weight
242.8lbs

CURRENT PROGRAM
Wendler's 5/3/1 program
For those not aware here is a write up on it:

http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_..._pure_strength

I will also fit in:
Swimming: once a week
Pi-Yo: on Sunday
Additional Cardio: Usually one more day of cardio hopefully with my daughter.


GOALS FOR THE WEEK
I am going to set a goal each week so that I have something to strive for. I will be setting new goals and checking the old one's off every Wednesday. This week's goal is simple:
1) Track all food - no matter how bad it is
2) Lose 3 lbs
3) Get more than 1 rep on my last set of all 4 big lifts!



THE PAYOFF
For those of you have followed me before you know about this section, for others this is where I reward myself and you with a half-naked woman at the end of my journal posts like this:

WORKOUT
Deadlift 3x3
Warm-Up sets in grey
2-3 minute rests for Deadlifts, 1 min for all others

Cardio Warm-Up
Elliptical Trainer
10 minutes
147 calories burned
0.81 miles

Deadlift
45x15
135x8
225x8
315x3
355x3
400x4.5 Rep PR!
This is definitely a rep PR for me. I have never really used this much weight for reps before. Usually it was just singles building up to my 1RM. I am really starting to love this program!

Hoist Leg Curl
183x10
183x10
183x10
183x10
183x10
+16lbs from last week on all sets! I think I can go up one more notch and still make all 5 sets of 10. Its hard though because I want to make sure I am focusing on hitting my main lift and using this as an assistance move.

Decline Situp
I went to do Leg Presses as they are next on my program but some lady was using it, or at least that is what she told me. I did all 5 sets of decline situps and she hadn't used the Leg Press once yet. The whole time she was just chatting with her husband, who was also not doing anything. I was getting angry.
Bumped these up to holding a 10lb plate behind my head
10x10
10x10
10x9
10x8
10x6
I can't beleive how much of a difference holding 10lbs made. I am going to stick with this till I can get 5 sets of 10

Leg Press
So I go over now and ask the lady about the leg press again
Me: Are you still using the Leg Press?
Dumbkunt: I am just bouncing around so you can have it.
I just rolled my eyes and started loading up plates.
430x10
430x10
430x10
430x10
430x10
+20lbs from last week on all sets! Unlike the Leg Curls I feel like the weight I am using right now is really close to the max I can use and still hit all 5 sets. I may just bite the bullet and try 450 next week.

All in all it was a great workout, even with the flow being messed up, and some raging allergies I have going on. I was proud of my workout today and that is what I want to feel everyday!


NUTRITION
I will being posting my nutrition totals from now on here. Unfortunately since I knew I was getting back on the diet today I didn't eat very well yesterday. It was my last binge before this journey so I am cool with that.


SUPPS

I might get funny with my new vid cam this weekend and try some Rock catch phrases.

[HARRYBEAST]

I'm in, of course. How much weight have you regained?

Nearly all of it. I started OBF at 245.8, I weighed in this morning at 242.8 I realize now that I can't do it for a contest or for other people and it has to be for me. I haven't felt this motivated before. The key will be to keep it going.

It's the pregnancy. Sexy gained all his weight during my pregnancy. Now, I need to figure out a way to get him motivated to drop it.

It could be true. I need to focus. To me summer is easier since I can do alot of my cardio outside and with Eva

I am not sure how much he will be on, but he has me excited to watch wrestling again, as hillbilly as that makes me sound. I tell you one thing seeing him this week on Monday Night Raw, he is in better shape than when he wrestled before

I've been sending frequent emails to WWE asking if I can wrestle him. So far I've gotten no response, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I would love for him to put me in a submission hold.

Silly girls The Rock doesn't really use submission holds, but he would Lay the smackdown on both your candy asses and so would I

I would counter his People's Eyebrow with the Simpy Squeal. And I do believe his smack down would result in some well placed scratch marks.

A haircut and a new hat would serve you well.

I was just trying to keep my hair out of my eyes, I don't wear it like that in public. The hair is becoming a pain sometimes. Mostly because I don't know what to do with it. I am not cutting it for a while though

You will look back on that terrible hair cut someday and laugh and laugh at yourself. Much like my father's ill-advised mustache.

[ElClipo]

The hair is fine IMO, the hat makes it look like that. I am still growing mine and it does get easier to deal with.

So you wear your hair covering your eyes in public?

Yeah, that's definitely better.



Get a haircut, ya hippie!
