Yesterday i had to do something. This time off is just plain weird. I get home from work and thats it for the day?? Well yesterday i decided to pull out the sand db's and hit some supersets.

Slow full ROM pushups: 50 reps
Lateral raises: 50 reps
Front raises: 50 reps
Bent over lateral raises: 50 reps

20min on exercise bike.

Felt good! Miss that burning sensation.

Yesterday i cooked a huge pot of Tuna casserole:

1 giant size can of Tuna from Sams
2 boxes of whole wheat noodles
3 cans of 98% fat free cream of chicken
2 bags of fat free cheese

Was eating on that all day and will be knocking that out this weekend,

Today, i will be hitting the gym during lunch for some stairs. Prolly 30mins.

wt 273 this am.

After listening to Ronnie talk about time off i think i'll crank up my training the first week of Dec instead of this week. Ronnie, although he has 25+ yrs of training under his belt, discussed the importance of time off from training and how his muscles aren't going anywhere if he takes some time off. He used an analogy of a car, he said if he doesn't drive his car for 3 months it doesn't mean that when he goes to drive it that it won't work after not driving it for 3 months.

Although i don't have 25+ yrs of training behind me, i think i should be able to take about 3 wks off to heal up and my muscles not go anywhere.

I miss training tho... Time off is harder than i thought

S/N: I do have my off season diet ready.

Carbs = 678g

Always good seeing and chatting with ya Rob. Tryin my best to not look thin again!

[Emekaokammor]

That off season diet is rough. I probably nailed about 70-75% yesterday. I gotta keep working on getting to 100% It's alot of food and i'm having trouble getting it all in. 70% is terrible to me because i consider bodybuilding to be a performing art and hitting 70% of you notes, performance, etc is not good.

So not so good start but i will keep working to get up 100% on my diet.

I also got back in the gym yesterday with a light leg routine and man oh man was i stuggling. 135 on squat felt like 585!!! lol, it's been 3 weeks since i've done any leg work so i'll be easing my way back into Gettin GEEKED.

All in all, not the best start but the best thing is that i will be working my buns completely off to get my diet back at 100% and my training back at 100%

Leh Go!!

[NaturalPursuit]

Geez thats a ton of food bro.....goodluck eatin all that haha

[Ccm644]

Dont worry about not getting all that food in!
That is alot and I bet it is hard to eat it all

Keep it up

[Emekaokammor]

Geez thats a ton of food bro.....goodluck eatin all that haha

Haha! Thx, i need it!

Thanks for the encouragement, this is my first time push my off season dieting past the limit.

[Emekaokammor]

Getting back into my training with basic movements, little rest, and cardio. I'm a little fustrated with my strength but it gives me a goal to work towards everytime i hit the gym.

As of now, weight is up strength in down

Over slept big guy, but by looking at yall workout, yall would have smoked me! lol

[NaturalPursuit]

before you know it you'll be squattin like 10 plates again bro!

Cant imagine how your gunna look and how strong youll be in a couple months!!!

[Emekaokammor]

Getting back busy this week. Spent last week getting back accustomed to the weights, now this week i'm turning it up a bit. Slow and precise. I'm in for a long off season and i'm excited about it. One of the benefits i believe i will experience from taking some time off is somewhat similar to that of a Newbie, well at least thats what i'm hoping for. lol. When newbie hit the gym and start dieting seriously they experince gains rapidly, almost instantly. Now, muscle memory will not allow me to have this exact expereince but i do believe that it will prove to have been benefical somewhere down the line during my off season.

Hitting arms at lunch.

Legs this evening.
