u know what.. i think u guys are right.. i think i was just over my head a little yesterday.. thx for the advice.. guess i'm just a little impatient..

k to all!!

Just make sure you get everything down 100% before you start hitting it hard.This program may be simple,but it will get very demanding very fast so just be aware of that.Try not to get to carried away with excess work as this program will grow you fast enough if you eat lots and rest well.

Decent workout,but how come you did 4reps on the overhead press?At any rate good luck for this new year.

like i said.. i fucked up.. not enuff sleep.. not enuff food.. = work out disaster.. i couldn't even lift shit man.. my squats were wobbly too..

at dinner time.. i was chatting with a bunch of chicks at TGI fridays.. 4 chicks and me one guy.. so this waitress walks over to bring us our drinks.. took a look at the girls and looked at me.. said "wow.. ur pretty lucky.. 4 girls and u one guy.." i looked up and said "nope.. they're lucky.." she was so confused that i said that that she repeated it again saying how lucky i was.. and i told her again that they're the ones who are lucky.. when she finally got the idea she said "wow.. i've never met a guy who's so full of himself(confident she's trying to say).. and i just said "well.. i guess ur lucky too" haha!!! owned!!

anyway.. i was talking to them.. and all the sudden.. i nearly fainted.. my whole vision was like turning upside down.. i think it's with the lack of sleep and work out in the morning.. do u guys get this too?

Just try not to make the hard partying real frequent as it could cut into your workouts and make you feel crap the next day

No offence man but it does sound like you came across as a bit cocky/arrogant,but thats just my opinion.

 

[carlsuen]

yeah it's only on occasions see.. i'm not the typical party animal type.. so it's cool..

hehe.. of course the humor was in my expression u see.. but i got her looks the whole night tho.. what do u think? hehe.. go to www.doubleyourdating.com.. and u'll understand y..

 

[carlsuen]

alright!! here's how yesterday went..

10 mins of incline brisk walking..

squats
1x10xbar
1x5x70kg
3x5x92.5

bench
1x10xbar
1x5x50kg
2x5x62.5
1x5x62.5(failed on the last rep.. shit)

bent over rows(90 degrees)
1x5x50kg
3x5x62.5

deadlifts
1x5x70kg
1x5x80kg
1x5x90kg(too easy)
1x5x100kg!!(yeah!!)

abwork on swissball and stretching..

it was a pretty good workout.. i'm pretty happy about it.. cuz i know i've improved on all my lifts as they are getting easier.. except for bench..

squats were good.. on form.. and i had to share the rack with another guy doing 60kg.. he thought i had 3 heads

bench is always a struggle.. but i'm not giving up!! maybe i need to rest more between the sets.. and i definitely need to eat more..

bent rows were good too.. not really heavy.. but i focused on staying 90 degrees thru out and on form..

deads.. wow.. really getting easy for me.. i think my significant jump in my short term goal is gonna be deads.. my 3rd set was just so easy.. shit.. i dedcided to add another 10 kg's.. still easy.. i wanted to do more.. but i guess i should save it for saturday.. really wanna up another 10 kg's then.. but i think i should take it slow.. 5 would be ideal i guess..

one more thing... I JUST NEED TO EAT MORE!!!!!

 

[asdfzxcv]

Good stuff man,you are killing those squats and deadlifts.If you keep going at this pace and EAT MORE(subtle hint )you will be plently strong in 6months,although your current lifts are not bad either.

Any changes in bodyweight/composition yet?

 

[carlsuen]

yeap... i weighted myself yesterday.. 91kg's.. gained 1 kg from 2 weeks ago.. hopefully it's all muscles.. haha!! my legs are definitely getting tighter.. i'll try to post some pics later.. need to get a hold on a digi cam first..
