Smashed my finger yesterday doing forcible entry. Flat head axe + halligan with a finger in between is not a good combination...

Time is flying!

signed up to a new gym. A golds. it my secondary gym for now when I travel but later this year will be my primary. It a lot nicer then my other secondary gym!

DBs go up to 135s. I was taking it easy working up my sets in reps of 10s and got to the 115s pretty easy. Lots of looks considering it was my 7th set.

Ok i need to tweak my carbs down and lose this gut.

Week 8 already? Deload over, back to work. Time to start dropping the calories and shed the fat. Starting out much leaner than last year's cut so am looking for some good results.

[browguy808]

Weather here has been perfect. Got in a few hours yardio myself seeding the lawn, putting in the garden, and fixing things up in general. Been itching to get in a good hike but too much going on this weekend.



I'm ready for another go round too


Got the squat workout done tonight. Hard to make time this weekend but squeezed it in. 20 min on the bike to get loosened up, hips were tight. Then had to jump on the roller half way through, patella tendon was grumbling. Got it done. Seems like all I did was grocery shop, cook, and do dished the better part of the day. Had some good meals and a jump start on the week though.

I luv it! Puttin in work.....Im trying my best to beat this cold I got with working out.

Yes, I did & I sent it in.

Mahalo brah for letting me know!

Hey all am I still in this?

IF so well I am dropping weight woo hooo and trimming up more. My Boyfriend is teaching me a lot. Weekend that's I stay with him I eat his diet for contest prep. I am committed to doing cardio for at least 20 minuetes a day.. But aiming for 45 plus..

I went to the Arnold so that took some time away from the forums. But it was worth it.

[PhiSig2298]

Wow week 7 flew by. I've been extremely busy getting my food plots ready for next deer season and Turkey season is
just a couple weeks away. Time to fill the freezer!

Man... I hate golds gym. Atleast the one down here. Nobody has respect for other users. They always leaving weights all over the place, next to machines walk ways. And scattered on the racks.... the equipment is kinda lame, I like the first one I signed up with. Was clean well organized, people mostly put the weights away, and better equipment... But good luck hope yours is better.

[tjwoody]

@ Vytis, looking lean!! split bicep to boot!

man, that cake.

Haha. Yeah me too 3am or 7am depends on when I get out of work. But got spoiled I guess from the other gym wasnt as packed,equipment and people. No room to work. The other place had plenty of space, but was bigger to.

[rocketman766]

Bring on the DOMS! Went heavy on the legs last night, had a hard time walking due to my right quad going spastic on me and shook/twitched for about 20 minutes after my workout. Even though it was temporary, had the viens poppin' on the quads again. One day I will make the appearance of them permanent. Changed the lifts up again, keeping my body guessing and trying to shock it some more.

Hope everyone had a safe St. Paddy's day.

So we are half way thru this already? Lovin' it!

[GettingfitAgain]

Made a super German Chocolate cake for my wife's Bday (it's today).

Arms are looking real vascular! Can see the separation in the bicep.

Koo I love doing a 3 set reps on curls all the way down to all the way up for 5-10rep, then from half way down to all the way up, then all the way down to half way up. Really gets the vascularity showing. Then reverse curls to get the bicep popping
