the 24th year...

[Vytis]

Looking forward to your update on Staurday as well. Let's do something about that placing, shall we?

[cactusflower]

I was looking forward to training all day.

Within the last 4 years or so I have actively sought out to increase the mind muscle connection I have with my back.
It has paid off in dividends.

By the start of the 10x10 I was almost jizzing in my shorts every rep.

Damn good training day.
Increases all week, nailing my diet, things ain’t that hard yet, and I actually can’t wait to step on the scale Saturday as this should be pretty f’in good .

Damn horrible time in the gym.
The people.
And living in homo central doesn’t help. Don’t mind the homo’s, it’s the emo homo’s that sap my spirit just seeing them.
And I now have my own group of daily bench pressers and loud grunters.

As May comes closer…my patience for these people will wear much thinner…




There’s a saying in bodybuilding…

“You’re only as good as your last contest.”

I was last.

Good job!!!!

lol @ jizzing in your shorts...that must be SOME workout!!!

Turn your ringer on!!!!

January 21, 2012

Another “inclement training condition” day.

There is a behavior management technique I used many times in youth care called “planned ignoring”. I used that to stifle my ITC.
I don't have time for this sh*t and it is kind of freaking me out.


Leg pressing was out of the question and I have a 100,000 lb. quota to fulfil today.
I did 20 reps with 180 on that thing and moved on.


Icarian “Power Squat” machine, PWO
10x360-it doesn't matter how much I warm up this ain't gonna get any better so let's get down to bustin' ass.
10x10x720(max weight that can be added using 45 lb. plates)


72,000 lb. Total


and that is 36 grand short of my usual so I got more lifting to do with limited choices, back to the power squat.


5x10x720


36,000 lb. Toal


108,000 lbs. Done!


Now I gotz calf work to do

seated Calf Raise, PWO
20x90, 10x135
10x10x160
-this can go up to 180 next session no problemo



30 Elliptical

-thank goodness for that cute 20 something year old ass walking in front of me on the treadmill, kept me motivated but later looked from the front and she's a butterface with no boobs.

You're such a guy





Hot legs!!!

[hazto]

Your journal entry on 1/19 is great, a lot of information or just hammering in how to perform to get the most out of your workouts. Breathing for me is the most difficult, I catch my self on the last reps holding my breath. Look forward to reading other insights that you share.

Thank-you Tiffany.
I try to keep him locked away until special occassions.

I'm glad somebody picked up on that and its not a waste of time.

I have included another at the end of back day and will do more.
I don't know how much help they'll be but if you have anything specific in mind let me know.

Thanks for the visit bro!

What are your orders, sir?”

“We have no choice.
Launch the pharmaceutical counter measures. (PCM)
My God be with us all.”


Down goes the anti-inflammatory (PCM) and off to battle I go.



If I hammer the chink in the armor enough will it get stronger or will it end up breaking me?
This vessel that houses my soul is failing me. I shall will it to come back in line.

Things I take for granted during training;

Keep your head up.

You ever catch yourself squirreling when the reps get hard and start pulling contortionist acts under the bar?
Or your heads wanders down when doing squats?

Don’t.
It won’t come easy, you’re going to have to become mindful of where your body is , including your head.
Usually ones form is going out the window when the head drops.
Bad form leads to injuries.

Ex.
Squats
The load gets heavy at the bottom, you lower your head to see what you’re doing and the next thing you know your back is rounding and henceforth putting yourself at risk for injury.

^^^^Quoted so it doesn't get missed.

Twisting and straining while trying to get 'one more "rep" ' is probably responsible for ending more training careers than anythng else I can name.

[Hibiscus09]

LOL @ butterface with no boobs.

You sure have gorgeous legs!! If you were at my gym, I'd use you as eye candy.

Happy Tuesday!!

[cactusflower]

Squirrely??? Like black squirrels? What does that mean...please expand... merÇi beaucoup.

Je suis trés fatigue!!!

Legs are looking good!

Hope all is well in your world, BB.

LOL, nope.
I have my bike parked in front of my TV...where I can watch girls who look like in movies that have serious action.

Well then, you should do something about that!

^^^^Quoted so it doesn't get missed.

I expect it to be, but hope it isn't.

I STILL have to watch when I start squirming. Fortunately I have never incurred an injury from this but think I would if I continued.

I have high standards Hibby.
and they have to have a personaility too.

MISSION ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

If you were using me as eye candy I would train in booty shorts for you.
Thank-you.

Legs are looking good!

Hope all is well in your world, BB.

In November they were.

Now, they are larger.

Its better.
By March they'll be nothing stopping me.

I did not want to hang around the civilians any longer and went home to do my cardio there.
Something about people going through the motions when it seems like you’re the only one bustin’ azz in the gym is de-motivational.


30 min. Stationary bike @ home.




Things I take for granted during training;


Stretching.-Part 1

When I took my PT course I learned more about the value of stretching than I had in 20+ years in this game.

Imo, stretching pre-workout is a very stupid idea. The muscle is cold, the lining prone to tears and now you’re gonna go invite a pull or strain?
No.
Stretch during and post-workout.

I stretch lots in between sets and never write it down.
There are 1000’s of stretches to do.
Hold it for 20 seconds and do not go beyond the feeling of “uncomfortably”.


Part 2 another day

If there's 1 thing about the IDFA I like is that they have never played teeter totter with a show date.

Stretching Part 2

I cannot come up with better terms, copy/pasta;

“Just as there are different types of flexibility, there are also different types of stretching. Stretches are either dynamic (meaning they involve motion) or static (meaning they involve no motion).”

A sub type of static stretching is isometric stretching.

“Isometric stretching is a type of static stretching (meaning it does not use motion) which involves the resistance of muscle groups through isometric contractions (tensing) of the stretched muscles.”

IMO, posing like an onstage bb’er is great for accomplishing this sub-type.
I pose whenever I can without it causing a distraction for others at the gym.

Ex;
Hands clasped most muscular for chest
Crab most muscular for side delts, traps
Front double bi for arm
Thigh shot for quads
Rear double bi for back , calves, and hams

The civilians nowadays just aren’t used to someone flexing in the mirror without think it’s a vanity thing.




I am down 17 of the 21 lbs. recently gained in 2.5 weeks.
Things are coming along nicely.
I think this will be the one, the training is nailed and fine tuned, the diet is down 100%, the cardio load is lessened significantly, and the fat is dropping faster than ever.

But
Its all talk until I step onstage again

nice work Brian.

Good job not hurting the idiot

....The civilians nowadays just aren’t used to someone flexing in the mirror without think it’s a vanity thing....

Had to laugh at that comment, seeing as I do it before 6 a.m. in the classroom with most of the lights turned off.

Looking good, great job on the weight loss, gained 21lbs in 2.5 weeks, typo?
