its been a weird week, i went out street boarding for the first time this season and it felt AMAZING but i was SO SO sore the next day, i struggled to get my shoes on and getting to the gym was tough. I made it though i had a pretty sack workout no major weight but did 2 hours of stretching >_< i am hoping my shoulder will be much better tomorrow.
In like a lamb and out like a lion! I finally had a decent workout this week, nothing to crazy but i worked my shoulders (as light and heavy as i could) i did 115 lb barb bell standing shoulder press, and a few hand stand push ups and i really feel like i thoroughly stretched it out. Not to sure how its going to feel tomorrow once my adrenaline is toned down and my muscles are relaxed but i am watching it like a hawk. I have been noticing big strides in my chest growth, it has far surpassed my upper abs (FINALLY!!!!!) and it getting some great definition! my shoulders as you can see from my last posted photos, have gotten some outstanding definition and showing several separate muscles >_< haha i think that shows my different work outs are working. My cardio has all but died.... i am SO bored on the spin bike its literally driving me insane and now that i have been on my road bike the spin bikes just feel cheap and uncomfortable >_< haha and i find pushing on them is near impossible! and the fact that i am averaging such a great speed but not getting the wind in my hair or hills or the bumps in the road i don't know i think i have a really short attention span >_<
here is a link to a video that a friend posted on Facebook, if you are tired in the morning or don't feel like going to the gym? this video gives you the power!

Looking good bro, you come a long way :)
Thanks MR Ontario i am a true believer that input = output
So yes i am alive, i feel like i was abducted this week and put on a planet of HELL! haha it was not that bad but i was not happy with it. I had a shoulder injury last week as most of you know, and i was sort of resting it??? not as well as i should have but my body had enough i suppose and i woke up tuesday with a soar throat and a stuffed up nose, missed tuesday's gym, day and work wednesday, thursday, friday, nd maybe tomorrow.... so to me missing 2 gym days is hell! i had a 1/2 workout with 3/4 intensity and 1/4 scoop of 1MR. My shoulder pain was not non existant but better, and i did no shoulder weights just hand stand push ups. So i am working on monitoring it and seeing how it goes. Tomorrow is my first real workout all week... and i am looking forward to it. As disappointed as i was it was kind of relieving that i did not even want to get out of bed so resting my shoulder was not terrible.
My headphones are broken.... so may not seem like a big deal but i am running Monster Cable Turbines, they are a spectacular set of headphones, the clarity and the bass is unreal! but after 6 months of fairly intense use and hundreds and hundreds of hours they are breaking on the cable where the jack connects. So i will be contacting Monster Cable and be seeing what they can do, i have heard good things about there customer service and will let you guys know.
Had a decent workout today, my nose is clearing and i am not nearly as congested in my chest so i really tried, i did not hit any of my weights nore did i intend to. I did quite a few hand stand push up, and i have found that doing bicep curls with dumbbells solve my fore arm pain, i guess because the bar bell turns my hand out ward rather then me keeping every aligned is just to much stress on my bones and so i did a number of 35, 40, 45 lbs curls. I just felt really good when i left, got lots of protein into me and i just feel really good, even though my shoulders crying and i am sick >_< haha life is truly good =D
Pretty good workout, i really tried to start a post illness push to reach all my numbers so i can then push for new ones. Had my buddy come with me that got me into the gym, and he was pretty impressed with my work outs and had some specific muscles he wanted to work which were already in my routine. Needless to say he will be sore for a while >_< I was doing my 135 lb standing bar bell shoulder press on rep #3 and i felt something pinch in my left shoulder and it was quite worrisome, i am not sure what it is but it is feeling fine now so i will wait to see how it feels tomorrow. IM BACK! and ready to destroy some stuff.
Had a ballin' workout, i feel soo good right now, i really have established my shoulder pain and how to workout and let it rest although i don't seem to >_< i am just feeling super good lately. It was a crazy weather day but by the time i went to the gym it was 20+ degrees and sunny so i walked to the gym in a sleeve less (wife beater) and board shorts and just the oxygen hitting my body felt SO good. i am almost ready for summer just need some colour>_< I have had a very busy week, with people over or me out since thursday but my cold is almost gone and i am planning on sitting on my butt tomorrow after work and just RELAXING haha pretty excited!
I was talking to the trainer i get advise from today because he had tried some hand stand push ups, he was surprised at how hard they were and he can shoulder press most of his body weight. It made me feel amazing that i was giving tips to a guy who has 10 years of experience on me >_< and hand stand push ups have become like push ups for me, just a nice shoulder stretch before i lift and kill some weight >_<
Just feeling weird, i feel like i hit a slump since i hurt my right shoulder, i hit some decent weight today, but i think between a few bad sleeps i just wasn't able to kill it like usual, i do not have control of my heat so i leave all my windows open all day and get home to a sweat pit for an apartment... i really do not understand why they have the heat so damn high...I had what i refer to as a slack first half of a workout and good second half. I manage to get about 30 reps of bicep curls, 25 or so hand stand push ups, 30+ dips, and lots of stretching, i have found that the reason for my shoulder pain in both sides is the barb bell shoulder press, it just seems to cause pain but i can do unlimited hand stand shoulder press's and no pain? so i will stick to that, i hope with a good rest day on saturday and a good night sleep on saturday i should be ready for some real weight =D
Oh jeeze... this is my first update in about 2 weeks thats worth reporting >_< i have not been doing any shoulder pressing or arnolds, just hand stand push ups and my shoulder is feeling much better. I actually clobbered some weight today! i got 3 reps 195 lbs bar bell incline bench, and i got 4 reps 205 lbs bar bell flat bench, with no assistance but a spotter on stand by. My cousin who is not stronger or more muscular then me but he takes his weight lifting a lot more seriously with an arsenal of pills, teas and supplements to get jacked i guess was pretty much speechless. That in its self made it a good day, but my gym buddy got 95 lbs on the flat bench and she was just on a victorious high for the rest of the workout and she did this while being quite sick. I did 65 dips non weighted and 20 weighted, so i think i will up the weight, i have not weighted my dips until today but i think its a good subtstancial shoulder/tricep workout and i enjoy using my body as weight as much as possible. I did about 30 reps per arm @ 40 lb dumb bells and 5 reps @ 45 lbs. My veins were popping, my shoulder looked like some one sculpted them and the blood rush when i was done a set just exhilarated me SO much and thats how i finished my workout. I got into a groove about 3/4 through where i was doing 110 lbs one hand low row, then 5 pushups with the push off and the hand clap, and then 3 chin ups on the cable machine and did that quite a few times with quite good efficiency and my gym buddy said she was waiting to watch my heart explode but i just felt so good, i had so much indrenaline running and just wasn't feeling fatigued so i just kept pushing harder. It was a good day.
i have a tendency of coming up with catchy sayings like the one in my sig, so usually when someone asks me if i am ready i usually respond with "born ready" so when we good done with a workout my gym buddy asks me if i am good, so today i come back with "i was born good, and i will die great" haha i try to use my attitude to set the modo.
Had a decent workout, hit 195 lbs incline bar bell bench, 95 lbs dumb bells flat bench, just warming everything up to start a push i am thinking in about a week, see how my shoulder handles the weight. So i decided i was not going to vote yesterday, i was so disappointed in all the parties that i just could not bring myself to do it. I just watch Arnolds inspirational videos on yotube and just wish so much he was running, he has worked so hard and he speaks so passionately about everything! The election went almost exactly as i expected, and i cannot really argue with it, the campaigning was so much shmearing it was just disappointing... I followed the Obama campaign a bit and i watch his inauguration, and i was just so inspired and i wanted to drive down and vote for him myself! So thats my tale, hehe life goes on and i continue to push myself to perfection.
