SeanCC's Bulk to 2010 Journal

[matthor]

on fire sean, almost literally it seems Progressing like a champ and still crushing the cardio. Can tell you are enjoying yourself right now

[SeanCC]

runnign out of water in the heat is brutal.

i'm pissed b/c the weather was supposed to suck today so I bailed on my planned mtn bike ride this morning... only to have it now be freakin awesome out now when I've got another committment.

solid PRs in the workout. just like the lunges and the bench, if you want to push it- I'll bet you can do some higher rep work with the 135

and damn, I thought I was an active SOB til I started following your journal. lmao. the intensity on the ride + gym = awesome.

Sucks about the weather, I really hate when that happens. You know, I'm not sure why I didn't try going higher than 135 honestly, I should have. Lol I do try to be active, like I've said before I just honestly enjoy going cycling more than sitting around watch TV or something.

Looks like everyone is having problems with cardio workouts and heat.

You dont care about the workout? You PRd 6 times.

Hard to get excited for arms lol

your traps better be pulsating from those shrugs dude

more sweat=more of teh sweetz to make up for it ha

Haha I havent done BB shrugs in so long and have never done them consistently really. Oh I have so many sweets right now as I just went grocery shopping. Behold:



Limited edition Root Beer Float ice cream, soooo good.

Geeez PR mania and you don't care?!

Ride sounds brutal! At least you didn't get hailed on with no shirt on today like I did!

Haha I haven't even seen hail in a decade much less be hit with it!

..wut? you trying to get me to unsub haha

Riding in a sauna like condition does not appeal to me lol, pass me a beer whilst i'm in the pool

j/k sounds fkn brutal dude.

Haha well I did just get back from the ride when I typed that, absolutely exhausted lol.

on fire sean, almost literally it seems Progressing like a champ and still crushing the cardio. Can tell you are enjoying yourself right now

Thanks man, life is good now. I'm a bit sad as I know summer is ending and the days are getting shorter. Going to suck in the winter as it will be dark out by the time I get out of work at 4:30ish

8/16/2009 - A.M. - Bike Ride
Time: 70 Minutes
Distance: 25.2 Miles

8/16/2009 - P.M. - Swimming
Time: 45 Minutes
Distance: ~1.25 miles

Additional Activity: A lot of handywork helping to build a deck, ran 1.5 miles w/ pooches

Thoughts: Was planning to tennis in the A.M., rode out to the courts and then my buddy texted me saying he got called into work. Decided to ride some more since I was already out, legs felt surprisingly good after yesterday. Needed to see where my swimming endurance was at so I did that for the first time in a few months this afternoon - went pretty awesome actually. Got some massive eating to do as usual.

yeah I agree with you. I don't watch tv much and would rather be active all the time. you do the swim nonstop or do you switch up strokes, do intervals, etc..?

and now that I'm following your journal gonna keep calling you out on those lifts to up the ante... definitely riding a great streak right now so great time to push yourself even more (unless the goal is hypertrophy of course). next time 155lb+ on military, eh?

[Holyspokes]

Lots of NEAT and cardio burnage in there.

You just cruise in your civilian clothing?

[141455675]

ridiculous. your eats would be insane....

[2 D]

Building a deck after all of that...? You're going through cals like oxygen Shawn, wow.

How is the weather on the east coast? We've got some hot and humid weather here, nothing good at all.

[NDame616]

When are you gonna do a triathlon?

[fgfan1]

lovin' the cardio man, wish i had as much endurance as you- it's actually an eventual goal of mine to do a triathlon. where are you located at in conn man? i'm in ny about like five seconds from the conn border, lol (near greenwich)

Swim was nonstop indeed - and in the ocean no less!

I need the push so its appreciated. I'd like chest hypertrophy but I'm pretty content w/ everything else. 155 would be a pretty big leap for me, PR status.

Lots of NEAT and cardio burnage in there.

You just cruise in your civilian clothing?

Thanks man and yes, pretty much.

ridiculous. your eats would be insane....

Today is the first day I'm under 6k in a week I think

Indeed Andy, I'm a big fan of handy work so I volunteered to help. Eating more cals daily now than I ever have, not even close really lol.

Weather this past week is similar, since Thursday last week its been 90+ and really humid. I actually like this kind of weather for training.

When are you gonna do a triathlon?

I did one in May, doing one Saturday as well.

I didn't always have this endurance, you can definitely build it up if you stick with it.

I live in a small town in CT, I'm near the Mystic/Groton CT area. Its in southeastern CT, I'm like 5 miles from the CT/RI border.

Additional Activity: ~3.5 miles of cycling and then rain over a nail, flat tire . In b4 Luke appropriately calls me an idiot for refusing to buy the tire repair kit. Bought one now lol.

Thoughts: Solid lower day, up 5lbs to 210 on the front triples and they were easier this week than last, good sign. Got 230x1 no problem too, nearing my PR of 250. Was sort of dragging ass but once I got my first set of 210x3 it fired me up, proceeded to have a good lower day. Kind of ended the day on a sour note, was feeling good cycling and then hit the f'n nail. Luckily I was right by my bike store so I have it repaired but it was too dark to continue riding by the time it was fixed. Got it fixed for free though as a kid who works there is dating a girl I know pretty well, knowing sluts FTW!

[wynner64]

Epic SLDL!!!

Sucks about the tire. I would have raged!

[2 D]

God bless the sluts!

Good to see you are improving on the front squats. I too enjoy the humid weather when I'm lean and in great condition, it seems to allow you to push yourself into a threshold not available in cooler temperatures.

[theWolf247]

haha sluttage love awesome lowah strength

[Holyspokes]

Damn dude awesome leg workout. Me mucho jealous. Too bad about the tire, can't do much about that. Free though, saweeet.

[matthor]

Shame about the ride - be nice to sluts cos they'll be nice to you

[141455675]

[wabeer1]

Great thread..subbed!

[Darkwatcher759]

great to see someone who can keep up with heavy ass squats and stay active. playing and coaching tennis has wrecked havoc on my squatting numbers.

Great thread..subbed!

Thank you sir

great to see someone who can keep up with heavy ass squats and stay active. playing and coaching tennis has wrecked havoc on my squatting numbers.

Yeah it is rough. Sometimes I wonder what my #'s would be if I didn't do cardio. Not that would ever happen as everything I do is for fun not to exercise but I am curious

P.M. - 8/18/2009 - Basketball
Time: ~2 hours (30 minutes of shooting around, 90 minutes full court games)

Additional Activity: 2 mile run w/ dogs

Thoughts: First and foremost, as with every big, big PR:

Honestly I've wanted 225 on the bench for a year+ easy and probably wanted it more than any lift besides the 3 plate squat. Did my triples at 210 (which were surprisingly easy as I was struggling with 205 a couple weeks ago) and decided what the hell, why not. Got it up and down with 0 problems, didn't even get stuck. Spotter (who did nada) said it looked like I could probably get 3 with it - I think a solid 2.5. Could of sucked the rest of the day and I wouldn't care just because I got 225 finally. However, rest went awesome as well. Almost to the stack on the WG pulldowns and rows continue to climb, good stuff. Was going to ride my bike to the bball courts and back but decided I have enough going on already today.

[theWolf247]

BOOM there it is. nice bench PR!! oh and you do too much activity, there won't be enough ice cream for the rest of us

[wynner64]

There it is!! 225! Nice work man, you're kicking ass and taking V-cards! I mean...names!

[141455675]

I offically hate you

2 plates FTMFW!!!!! Big milestone!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are dominating as of late dude. Those rows ae getting too big for my liking

[Holyspokes]

Yeah boy, good job on the benchin, and all your other PRs too of course.

Still owning in basketball?

[DTrulez616]

Nice, 2 plate Bench and those Rows are very impressive.

[Darkwatcher759]

Nice! From your other lifts it seems like 225 is just the start of some serious blue numbers

[2 D]

EPIC day there.

Finally got your white whale huh?

Very good work, nailed those pulldowns as well. Doing all that lifting and then some bball + running is a very active day indeed. Aren't you working these days too? Are you just working out and working all day or something?

[MarvelComicGirl]

Hey Sean! Geez your still getting PRs?
Congrats on the 225 on the bench!

[wabeer1]

Official member of the 2-2-5...great stuff!!
