yeah me too, I never think of it as amazing, just playing with the hand I was delt...everyone has obsticles. The key is not to let those obsticles turn into brick walls (mentally or physically)!Quote:

I only got 2 hours in today, no exceptional numbers just trying to wade out the cold and not lose any ground. I cannot do cardio with any sort of cold i find the slight difference in my breathing kills it so i slacked on that and did nothing... i wish i had of my hips feel like there a knife in them! hehe.
So i have a question directed towards the ladies on here, do you find it cheesy for guys to hit on you?
LOL! What a weird question. Do you mean at the gym? If so, then hell, if you're young, single and hot, you probably want to be hit on. Nothing cheesy about it.Quote:

To steal my good friend's term, I have perfected my "stank stare" and general "**** off and stay out of my way," demeanor. Keeps me as well as my ginormous and very jealous partner happy. :D
haha i seen a picture of him.... kind of looked like his head was separate form his body... ahhh he's a big boy and i would never offer to buy him food.... i cannot afford that!
I kind of figured that to i mean i like to think i am decently attractive and i hope around the gym with a good charisma but theres those guys that hit on any female that average or better looking. You can see there expressions "kill me please" or something along those lines so i just have avoided it. Found it was just so cliche.
My cold in increasingly getting worse... hopefully a good night sleep will help >_<
So i think my cold may had finally platued, i was up for 6 hours last night with the sorest throat i have ever experienced in my life.... it was absolutely horrendess!!!
I went to the gym after pumping some advil, protein shake, and half a 1 MR shake. I had an ok day just went to keep my arms from feeling gross and stretched myself out. Got a decent 1 1/2 hour workout in and am now gurgling salt water and sucking on halls to get rid of this pain!
Picked up some more 1MR lemon lime flavour this time i well post up how it is. I am thinkning that in a week or so i will be getting 2 4.66 lb tubs of protein powder (promasil) because i can get 10% off my purchase. I got a sample pack of some new Zealand whey today called diesel, the ladie at the supplement shop i go to wanted me to try it and let her know what i think. I just find that these other protein powders do not have the same over punch that promasil does, they do not have near the vitamins and nutrients that it offers, and although it does provide the protein it does not give me the same pick me up that the vitamins do. And for the price i pay for the promasil i see no reason to switch and i highly recommend it!
I will be spending the rest of my weekend listening to my Dr Dre studio beats, gurgling salt water and starting to clean/purge/pack for my move on march the 1st i figured if i attack it every weekend and give myself a month it will not be overwhelming and i will be much more productive =D
went to the walk in clinic this morning and was told i have strep throat. I will not be able to hit the gym tomorrow but maybe on wednesday/Thursday we'll see, i have not slept or eaten anything in 2 day.
haha well i am back, i had a terrible week, and felt like a slumpy fat person.... this working out has become my OCD and i just feel terrible without it. This is making me think once i hit summer and i get my kona rockin i will never be home! haha but thats a good thing i suppose.
I had a decent pre gym day gym day, spent 1 1/2 hours worked pretty well every muscle group, stretched, and just got myself feeling good! I did a weigh in just to see how i was doing, 137 lbs.... yeah haha bulking up will hopefully start soon?
So today was my actual gym day, pushed it pretty good got in a lot of my usually numbers and just tried my best to destroy myself. Got about half way through my workout, most of my big weights done and the power went out... so we got kicked out. thats about it... haha noticing massive improvements on my breathing and my throat i am like 95-98% healthy now. Looking forward to mondays workout!
haha hey so its been a busy week and this is the first opportunity i have had to update!
Sunday - snowmobiling was fun, packed up all of my non important belongings
monday - first day pumpin the iron (since near death strep throat ;P)
tuesday - cannot remember but i don't think it was that good... (think i packed)
Wednesday - AMAZING workout got my first real cardio set in, haha 10 miles in 9 minutes 38 seconds. 90 lbs one hand low row, 175 on the incline bench no assistance, 190 lbs peck deck, started a reverse sit up thing on the exercise ball... felt good haha i will have a thorough post friday night and a new picture!
Great great workout, got a solid 1 rep in 185 lbs incline bench, 5 reps 180 lbs flat bench, 10 reps 70 lbs dumbbells incline bench, 10 reps 170 lbs rope for triceps, 10 reps 90 lbs one hand low row, 3 reps 95 lbs bicep curl barbell, and just rocked everything else.
So those are my cardio legs... they just did not photograph very well >_< haha maybe some tan would help... so i have noticed great improvements in my entire arm including my shoulder, my abs are becoming much more defined and my chest is starting to get some great definition. As always suggestions, comments, and critiques are welcome =D
Had a pretty thorough workout today, had a weird pain in my bicep that felt like someone was pressing there finger into it. It was not effecting my lifting or anything so i just powered through but i think the peck deck may have caused this so i will be keeping an eye on it. Had a more moderate cardio day, 5 miles in 10 minutes and then got some squats in just to help stretch me out. Focused more on the free weights today for the incline/flat bench but i ended up doing the barbell incline to help stretch out my left bicep. Just rocked it like i do =D
I had a better workout yesterday then i thought... those squats tore my but muscles so bad! haha sounds bad... i had issues picking things up and sitting down haha i love the pain of progress.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
i posted this on facebook to all the ladies who are not married =D same deal applies here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOep-pUv-9g
Pretty stellar day, didn't get my cardio in till half way through so i only did 5 miles but it was good and REALLY helped stretch out my butt muscles from those deadly squats =D haha Got 3 reps per arm 100 lbs on hand low row which was exciting but shocking because i cannot get past 170 lbs two handed. Got tons and tons of abs in today, a super clean set on the decline bench sit up 10 reps with a 20 lb dumbbell on my chest. Tried some of the stretches i seen in the link for a deeper squat to help stretch myself out further and was not surprised but disappointed in the results. My doctor used to do a lot of them during my monthly check ups so i had an idea and my flexibility is MINIMAL at best, i tried the one with your foot 2-3" from the wall and pressing your knee into the wall, i could only touch the wall when my foot was touching the wall. So all and i all i concluded that my squat depth is more then acceptable and i will try the no shoes thing and maybe some other stuff i will keep you updated.
I may have a gym buddy! yay haha one of my biking buddies has started going at night so i will be able to push my bench's insane! I should also note the my left bicep feels 99% better, there was a smidgen of pan today throughout but once i got working out and stretched it, it was fantastic.
Running out of days till summer... haha i am excited i have never EVER been this excited to get my self tanned and on display =D haha trying not to spend my 22nd valentines day in a row single =D hehe
Had a above average workout? haha its been a while since the weights felt this good, i got 13 reps of arnolds in at 55 lb dumbbells, 100 lbs one hand low row, 185 lbs rope for triceps, 185 lbs 3 super clean reps flat bench barb bell, 175 lbs 3 reps incline bench barb bell, i did alot of push ups i think about 40 with my feet on an exercise ball, lots of core of course, and hd a nice 10 mile bike ride to start it all off.
Going to push for 200 lbs on the rope it will be the first machine i have ever been able to do the stack =D haha makes me pretty excited, my mixing it up for pecks seems to be working my packs are starting to grow pretty great and i am trying to eat more.
WOW today was good, got 110 lbs on the one hand low row, 200 lbs (divided by half for a double pully system) on the rope, 95 lbs biceps curls and got 6 solid reps in, 185 lbs 3 reps on both incline and flat bench.
A trainer that i have gotten to know invited me to do front squat-shoulder press's with him, so i figured why not i was waiting for the squat rack, i need to work on my form a bit and the front squat thing really threw me off at first but i got a very nice 8 reps (3-5) at 95 lbs and i was thrilled with how my muscles felt afterward, every muscle was going crazy and it made my mid back feel amazing! so i have added this to my workout routine.
I also asked him just for my curiosity what he would guess my body fast % around being it is one of the only things i care about as far as weight is concerned, and he guessed me around 8% which made me pretty happy and i felt it was an honest assessment, and then it made me a new goal haha spring/summer is coming and i want to no no need to look spectacular so i am shooting for 6% body fat. That would make me very very happy and i thinks its very achievable.
Been packing and stuff still i got the move in date moved up a bit to saturday the 26th and my dads giving me the day off to move, so things are about to become quite different but i am moving within 1/2 km of the gym and everything else i go to so i am pretty excited!
Just a quick hey, hope everyone had a great family day (or friend day if you prefer them over your family)
Took the day off, not by choice i was stoked to go but the gym closed at 5 and i worked till 5, i bummed. Mentally prepping for 200 lbs on the flat bench bar bell.... i am pretty excited this has bee a 3 month goal and may very well be achieved, i also know that if i can get even one smooth rep in at 200 lbs i will be able to destroy 185 lbs and then really work up to a good set of 200 lbs haha i am ready!
Great workout, and i mean GREAT workout, i got a few personal best in today, i felt kind of sluggish because i did not get into the gym yesterday and it tok more effort then it should have and took longer to loosen up. But it ended up being pretty sick, FINALLY got 200 lbs flat bench! 3 reps (1 super solid and the other 2 were spotted with maybe 5 pounds shaved on the tough spot) felt really good 185 x 3 incline bench, 60 lbs arnolds 8 reps, 200 lbs (divided by 2) x 12 on the rope, and got 5 miles in 9 minutes 35 seconds whish is also a personal best, chest press 95 lbs barb bell x13.
Just feeling so good my chest is growing and i am pushing it SUPER hard every time im there, haha every workout is an improvement on the previous one and i am pumped to go everyday so i know i have gotten into an amazing routine that i can keep up.
So i did some front squats with the bar bell and it just felt wierd, are you supposed to rest the bar on your chest? i seem to be holding it the whole time? kind of confused on it.
Sick night, i got the keys to my apartment so i will starting moving tomorrow night and officially move on saturday. I got some personal bests today ofc haha i always try to hit something, i did not get the 90 b dumbbells on the flat bench and i think its because i did 185 lbs on the incline barbell, and 190 on the peck deck before so but i got a solid 5 reps at 85 lbs on the flat bench dumbbells so i was satisfied for today (saturday is a completely different story), got 80 lb dumbbells on the incline bench which was a first and it felt SO good! the rest was pretty well the same as always, i got 115 x5, x3 on the shoulder press and WOW did i feel tight after that one =D haha
I did not take any time to just relax before the gym i was just running all over the place and i ended up cramping in result... haha taught me about the 20-30 minutes of listening to music in bed before i go really helps me unwind =D haha should be a fun weekend of moving + gym + unpacking haha super excited. I am also going TV shopping tomorrow haha yeah... not really a biggy but i am looking for a 50" plasma haha
Update for Saturday, i had on ok workout, if i had of had this workout 6 months ago it would have been the single most exhausting workout of my life but now a days it was ok =D nothing outrageous to report i hit all my numbers and just had some fun and spent more time then usual chit chatting with different people there.
But on the other hand everyday has something happen thats momentous and that was i MOVED haha yeah... i am now moved out. I was up at 3 am wide awake on friday after 3 hours sleep with anxiety haha and worked till 5 then worked till 11:30 moving most of my bulk stuff, then worked from 9-2:30 on saturday and i was completely exhausted! so i took my protein shake and 1mr hit the gym and boy did i sleep like baby last night!! haha it was pretty exciting now i can really "start" my journey =D
had a pretty awesome workout, i ended up running all over waterdown doing tasks my cardio was pretty slack, but substituted. I may have a gym buddy now =D haha we'll she i know her from high school and she's almost deathly afraid of the free weights because of the big scary guys... sad...
my parents bought me the magic bullet as a moving out gift and i must say after using it finally it works pretty well i purchased some frozen strawberries to spice up/ add nutrition to my shakes and it mixed it perfectly smooth and my strawberry milk shake tastes great =D
I'm just waiting for the magic bullet to go on sale, and I wanna get the one with the larger cups.
Keep up the good work. Post pics of new workout partner please. :rulz

I have doing the 200 on the rope and i added a 10 lbs weight to it so i was doing 110 and it felt so good. I have really been pushing my shoulders and been doing alot of shoulder press's with the barb bell at 95 and 115 lbs and its also help a lot with my middle back. So tonight we are having my moms 45 th bday party and a i got her a 1 motnh membership to the gym so she can kick some butt in her goals! I will have my gym buddy back on tuesday so i will try for 200 lbs on the flat bench haha we'll see how that goes.
Hello everyone (if anyone reads this) feel free to say hi =D i love feedback, criticism (not short jokes so much but i can deal)
Had a pretty decent day, 30 minute walk in the cold while traveling to the gym, 90 lbs dumbbells on the flat bench, with a funny story so i got a set of 4 in and i wanted another 3 so i get them get layed down and ready and there was no way they were moving, so i was a little disappointed but figure di will put them back and try the 85 lbs, and i have no idea how but they got away on me while try to get myself upright... well a 137 pound guy losing 2x 90 lbs dumbbells.... haha so one fell to the side the other one headed for my "man junk" and i was not allowing damage so i flexed and tried to recover it and caught it with my thighs.... haha disaster diverted and went for a bit of a ride >_<
Got my 200 lbs flat bench bar bell with 2 solid reps, and taught my workout buddy how to spot, and just had a good day cruising around i have had an uncomfortable pain/feeling in my fore arms about half way between the elbow and the wrist on the top, its not really all the painful but its there... and it gets much worse when doing 95lbs bar bell bicep curls, i am not sure if i have just over done it with them and they are SLOWLY! healing or what so if anyone know feel free to add some insight, picture day is coming either thursday or saturday and i am SUPER excited for you to see my shoulders i would say they are finally proportionate if not getting bigger then my arms and giving me a human crusher look =D
Have a good international woman's day =D
Hello all, i had a pretty great workout, i think i may have a cold coming on (crossing my fingers i don't) so i am getting to bed early tonight =D
I have found a new talent i have? i can do hand stands while holding onto things like the arms of chars and the leg raise machine/thing which has handles for dips and i can almost do a full press while in a hand stand position, haha my family was dumb founded by it and now request like a party trick >_<
THE WEIGHTS are coming haha it was a good day i got 1 rep 205 lbs barb bells flat bench, after i had already exhausted my arms, and then one of the trainers asked if i wanted to do some negative on the bench so i said sure.... so he added another 10 lbs bringing it to 215 lbs and i would lower the bar SLOWLY in about 5-7 second durations and he would help me list it up i got 5 reps of that and my pecks felt like they were going to POP and it been a while since they felt that good! I did about 30 dips and tons of abs/core as always, 90 lbs on the flat bench dumb bells, and quite a few reps of the shoulder press.
One of my friends is going to school in i believe north bay to become a personal trainer and he was over last night playing xbox kinect and what not and could not believe my progress and how fast my weights improved, and he was pretty harsh with his critiquing of me in the fall last year which partially pushed me to get more into the weights and build all over. (harsh critiquing is something i enjoy it allows me to really look at what i need to do rather then everyone saying ooo you look good >_<)
I ended up taking my pictures tonight incase i do get ill and i cannot take them later haha so i got a pic of my back so you guys can see that its progressing, please note that i was having some flexing issues because i am EXHAUSTED!
So yet another fantastic workout, not sure on the getting sick >_< i got 4 reps of the 90 lbs dumbbells on the flat bench, 3 reps 195 lbs barbell incline bench, and 2 reps 205 lbs barbell flat bench, and just did everything as usual, did more of the negative bench thing where i lower the weight and my spotter lifts it, got 5 reps at 225 lbs and man doe sit make your pecks feel like there going to POP haha it was interesting.
excellent/weird day, i was having to most god awful hip pain (arthritic) while i was walking to the gym, and then a song came on, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqSy8QdjFcI its by the red jumpsuit apparatus "godspeed" its a song about world war 1, and it just made me walk a little taller, and i kind of felt like eli from the movie "the book of eli" and just felt like every step i took was making a change in the world... thats what i was thinking i am seriously delusional but it got me there >_< Broke up my routine a little bit and hit the should press early in to see what i could destroy so i got 5 reps 125 lbs bar bell which is a 10 lb improvement and made me pretty pumped! Just an average day other then that, picked up some supplements on my way home(i mr lemon lime, Promasil chocolate), and am just happy to be going to bed soon! haha SO TIRED.
My gym buddy update, she is doing amazing! and she has a great charisma in the gym, she even helps me rate woman =D haha, she has gone from struggling with the 45 lb bar bell on the bench press to 75 lbs and killin it, she is just continuously getting more and more excited about her progress and feels so good about ehr progress, and for only 2 weeks of real workouts with me she is doing great! she even wanted to do sit ups on the decline bench and reached her goal of 5! haha so i made her set her next goal at 15 instead of 10, stating that good goals are fine but great goals are even better! and she will reach it!
Hello everyone, i feel like i am getting severe ocd, today felt like meh day, but my body feels amazing, i hit all my target weights, 205 flat bench, 195 incline bench, 65 lbs arnolds, 115 shoulder press, 105 rope, 110 one hand low row, got a nice 10 minute ride in, but my arthritis was just fighting me, ever sense this time change i have not been getting great night sleeps like a i usually do and i think thats a LARGE part of it, but i have been trying really hard. The warmer weather appears to actually be happening which is getting me excited, the power steering pump and fan motor (for the heat) have not been working worth a damn since mid december of 2010 so i am getting excited to bike! haha so yeah i just want to push so hard everyday! that when i only reach my target weights i feel like i slacked?
ps i like the new look, and the newer site loads SO much faster! good job!
UPDATES! haha nothing major, but i hit all my weights, pretty much the same as last post just killing it working on the comfort level so i can continue to push. My hips have been acting up a bit, just insanely sharp arthritic pains... but Tylenol does nothing due to large quantities over decades, and i really do not take anything for any reason. Sit ups were painful and well worth it ;P as always.
I have this strange feeling that i am going to get into a fist fight walking home one night from the gym, these teenagers in Waterdown have egos the size of ontario and they feel like they own every thing, and they all think they are true gangsters from the gheto? So when walking i tend to stay to the right and kind of run like rules of the road, and the walk right down the middle like they are on the red carpet and i absolutely refuse to walk in the swampy wet grass... and i have far to much pride to bow out to the spoiled little bastards... so thats my rant for the day...
Today was one of those days... lots of good looking young ladies at the gym and i was ON! I stayed up to late... (2:30 am playing WoW) then woke up at 9:30 with the regret of staying up thinking i was going to feel groggy and gross, but because i only got 7 hours of sleep and not my usual 11 after a late night i felt pretty good, i had tons of energy while i was getting ready for the gym took my 1MR and could have jumped off my 4th floor balcony and laughed and headed on my way. My arthritis was obnoxious it was SO painful today but i got there did a cool 5 minute sprint on the spin bike and i was ready to ROCK. I did like 40 dips over the corse of the workout, lots and lots of different weight stretching things i have been trying. I got 4 reps of 205 lbs on the bar bell flat bench! i was ecstatic, i was shooting for 2. Got 3 reps 125 lbs standing bar bell shoulder press, and hit all of my other weights! So i like to play with my weights as i put them on the bench's so i will lift it straight up over my head keeping my arms straight but i finally figured out how to lift the 45 lb plats, you need to keep the weight to the inside of your arms not passed you hands, haha it twists and it damn hard to keep it there, so i did this about 40 reps or so over the course of my workout.I have been wanting a workout like this for about 2 weeks now and it feels SO good.
the WoW thing... yeah blizzard sent me a 30 day free trail of WoW and it was kind of lame but iLOVE Diablo 2 LoD so i gave it some time and it grew on me, and its helped me just chill out on my non gym nights instead of itching to go to the gym >_< so i play because it helps my workouts =D
Been really suffering lately with the arthritis thing... may consider just removing my hips... haha but its been all good, hit my numbers, crushed some weight, showed my gym buddy a few workouts today that she "loved" and i am pretty sure she just goes home and curls up into the fetal position until her next workout with me hahaha but she's a trooper and she trys her best every time!
I have just started to feel like iv really been packing on the muscle lately, just standing there in a shirt i feel my chest is really starting to get big and my shoulders and my arms are tight in the sleeves of shirts that they weren't even close, and i just feel big. I have not done any bicep curls due to fore arm pain in a while but i am not terribly concerned about it because my bench's and of workouts are not letting my biceps rest and they are growing in great! My arm pits are looking weird, at least to me anyways they have like to different muscles and have gotten pretty big and i kind of have the flying squirrel pouches? haha its weird.. i recall watching a commercial a few years back about a mens calone and there was these 2 super buff guys running op a set of stand and when they got to the top they raised there arms and there pits were MASSIVE and i just remember thinking WOW could you imagine? haha now i know what it feels like and warm weather will have never been better!
my day was kind of like the weather in southern ontario, it was doing pretty well then BLAMO ARTHRITIS, it was pretty intense when i got home, i had my traditional 45 minute rest listening to music pre gym, and it was just aching, the sidewalks were icy and rough looking so i drove to the gym, did my 10 minute sprint on the spin bike which gave me momentary relief, and then it started.... it just kept getting worse and worse to the point that standing, sitting, lying, and walking was a chore and a test of endurance, i did a set of 20 sit ups on the incline bench and knew it would hurt, and it did i did 90% of the pull with my left leg and it was over, my hip was just throbbing. My gym buddy was like wow gives me something to look forward to when i am old... haha well when i am old it will be interesting... i do not know anyone in there 70-80's that was born with severe arthritis so i suppose i am my own experiment. My weights went pretty well did things in a different order and my arms were pretty tired my the time i hit the flat bench, not to mention all the snow i did on my "off day" haha it was no relaxing day thats for sure.
My funny story of the snow storm on wednesday, i had an interesting driv e home just after 5 pm, the roads were horrendous, took a lot of corners sideways and what not but i took my time made it home, and got stuck half way into my parking spot with was a massive drift... i under estimated the density of the snow and my car got wedge on top so i have my brother (who lives around the corner) come and help me dig/push it out. haha so yeah got all the way home and shazam!
I bought some new bar soap, its Dove for men +care deep clean, so i will chuck a review of that up tomorrow, at first impression it smells nice and it makes my whole bathroom smell good =D
Hip is slightly improving so i walked to the gym, the weather is improving as well so my kona is getting pretty pumped for a spin. Had some weird shoulder pain so i didn't try to push the weights up to much today just hit my numbers and added an extra rep or 2. Hopefully a restful sunday will get me ready to destroy some stuff on monday.
Hello everyone, so i had a pretty great workout, i got 205 on the flat bench, 200 on the incline, 5 reps of 125 lbs standing bar bell shoulder press, and hit all my other weights, got a solid 10 minute sprint in on the bike, my walk felt good, my arthritis seems to have accepted my threats of joint removal and backed off, it was just good, but gym buddy had a few personal bests, like 13 reps on the decline bench and she was ECSTATIC she said she didn't think she would ever get there and could not believe how easy 2-3 reps was, shes looking so much better and making fantastic progress.
Until wednesday =D try not to k/o yourself (it helps)
Had kind of a weird day, i felt pretty good at the gym other then a very tense lower back that took 3 hours to work out, but i hit my numbers, and i got 2 sets 135 lbs standing barb bell shoulder press, and 3 reps 70 lb arnolds! i was very excited about these, they were fairly smooth, had a good walk to the gym, my hip has really settled down lately and once the warmer weather comes and i put it through a few HELL rides on my kona it will be ready for the summer!
I i watched the movie 127 hours yesterday and it was crazy, you want ot see a movie about motivation and determination in the absolute worst case scenario that is a watcher!
My main buddy was over, (the one who highly encouraged me to start working out) and was could not believe the progress i have made in the last month, the only word he could use to describe it was, "inspirational" and it felt DAMN good to hear that, i am getting pumped to show off my body a bit this spring HARD WORK PAYS OFF!
