Thoughts on Workout
AMAZING workout this morning. I was hitting everything perfect and arms are looking sick with the loss of water. Still got a ways to go for sure but big things are coming.
My strength was down cause I don't feel like my body has adjusted to training the same bodypart twice a week. It might be a while before I get "adjusted" but I don't care at the moment. Just going as hard as I can....

Going to hit up cardio and abs this afternoon... Then tomorrow will be an off day from EVERYTHING.... Booooooo

Thoughts on Workout
This was a horrible workout. My mind wasn't right and energy levels were horrible. All cause I did an afternoon workout. Did a morning workout this morning and feel amazing...

But had a sick pump in my quads though. I can flex my quad and it get so pumped it cramped.

So I look forward to my next heavy leg day. My left knee was hurting me a tad on hack squats. So I didn't go to heavy.. Depending on how it feels, may do my squats on the smith machine next time on heavy day.

That's awesome. You know it's badass when you're puking during your leg sessions. In for more progress photos.

Be easy on that knee. I do the same thing when mine's acting up.

And yeah, having a PM session instead of your normal AM sessions can do that. Just shrug it off and kill it next go 'round my friend.


**Edit: GREAT arm session. Blow them guns up!!!

Thanks for stoppin in B.. yeah I'm looking forward to taking some "good" progress photos coming up in a couple of weeks. I'm taking time off during Labor day. I'll have 5 days off from work.. WOOOT WOOOT.. I'll see if I can get my better half to take some good snap shots of me. Abs aren't there by any means but you'll be able to see the rest of me.

Yeah, My knees have always been horrible. It's a long road ahead of me. It's just a pothole in the road.. Gotta keep on going

(this may be a question for Ryan-not sure-all input is appreciated)
I've been told by several of my guy friends (but never my girl friends) that puking during a workout is good-that you get better results. Is this
true or is puking a mental interpretation of pushing beyond your
perceived limits? I've never done it-but I've come close a few times. I don't care to-unless it's going to make a dramatic impact on progress...any thoughts?

Puking doesn't mean anything, like John said it's just about pushing yourself past your comfort zone. I would say 98% of people feel sick to there stomach on leg day, it's because your legs are your biggest muscle group... alot of blood going into them. Also your PH balance gets thrown outta wack which gives you that wonderful sick to your stomach feeling. I would never recommend puking though !

Ryan and I are actually playing with the fact of starting prep eaaarrly so my skin will be super tight and we can make adjustments (ie carb loads, etc..) when/if needed

i'm serious man. Out of all people I've talked to through trying to figure out who to hire, this is by far the best choice. For me personally with my goals and mindset, we are on the same level for sure

What little I've done with Ryan so far... I'm really impressed. He really listened to my goals and custom made a routine to fit that. Look forward to working with him more.
