AZN's Journal for summer 2007

Whats your cutting diet plan? When you gonna move into the big boy workouts (Strength series). :D

I haven't thought about the diet part yet. I was gonna make a thread when it came time to it.

I tihnk I'll start strength workouts a little before witner time in preparation for shotput in the spring. I'm really looking forward to being able to do bench press again (havne't odne it since june haha).

My plan is to cut until I get around 165, and I actually look kinda buff and my (though inaccurate) scale says my body fat is 16% (it fluctuates between 19-20 right now). I don't know if this is a reasonable goal since I didn't really pay attention last time I lost weight.

Afterwards I'll do part of the hypertrophy II program and get started into strength.
 
Have you checked out the Anabolic Diet?

And are you never not on the forum...lol

What's the anabolic diet?

I'm only not on the forum when I'm lifting or asleep.
Haha it's not that bad, I hang out with friends too and walk my dog.

I just have alot of work this summer for advanced placement classes so I gotta write papers and research and all sorts of bull**** even though it's summer. I'm on the computer, so I like to distract myself from my studies by coming to fitness.com.
 
Tendonitis flared up. I probably shouldn't have tried to see how many times I could curl 40s (dumbbells) the other day (I have a good excuse for wasting time with curls, no pullup bar). Wrist is gettin a little better. I tihnk I'll have to take a 3 day break though.
 
tony, may i also see the anabolic diet please?
if you get around to it, my email is imfitbit@yahoo.com

a cut sounds good for you dave. i say get down to at least 13% until you bulk again. you would probably look great at 10%.
 
summer is almost over. I bulked from 170-178 (180 depending on whether or not I just ate/crapped)

I have still more workouts though, I should be able to finish it 1 week into september, then I'll close this thread and start the AZN's Journal for Fall 2007, THE CUT!
 
Dave, I understand you are trying to be helpful by "handing out" workouts. However, as you notice quite a bit of people come back asking for workout advise.

A person is far more likely to follow a routine they designed themselves. If you want to help them. You might consider educating them as to what a good routine is comprised of and why. Give them a list of movements and a general guide lines as to how to combine them.
It is more work, but will be more helpful in the long run.

Just somthing you might want to think about...
 
ARGGGG I SUCKED IN THE GYM TODAY.

3x15, with ALMOST NO WEIGHT. I felt so weak, I think it may be because I've slept little recently, or because I took a 3 day break, or because I only ate like 1 meal before I lifted (even though by that time I'd nomrally have taken in 3 or 4).

But the real reason I lifted so little, was because I shaved my sideburns. (yes, I haven't seen any other chinese people with sideburns either, but I guess I'm special). I firmly believe that my sideburns allow me to lift 15% more weight.

Anyway, 3x15 30 second break.

inc db 45 45 40
bo row 95

sh pr 30 20 20
lat pd 7 8 8

al;skdjf;alskfj;aslf don't even know the rest.

I still got a huge pump though. Also, funny tihng is, I came late to the gym expecting no one tto be there, actualyl there were a bunch of people there. 3 people were sharing the squat rack doing curls in it. I used to think that this was like kind of a running joke in the lifting community (as I'd only seen it done a couple times before) But those guys stayed in the squat rack for 3 kinds of curls. BB, 21s and DB curls. gimme a break guys.

ahh well, I guess everyone has an off day.
 
I'm also starting to grow a goatee. I'd look SO cool with a goatee and I'd probably lift alot more (yes, I believe facial hair improves weight lifting abilities)
 
Good day in the gym today. 5x5 lower. one of my favorites. 90 second break as usual

parallel squat
205 225 225 225 225

deadlift
185 195 185 185 185

superset w/ full rest
bulg split squats
30s
stepups
50s

remind me to do alot more on the last two. They were easy.

My back isn't sore at all from deads, I'm very happy.
 
On the step ups, you can always make the platform higher...hahaha

I once did step ups using a platform that was a little lower than my navel. That was ridiculous.
 
POP IN QUIZ

Fact or Myth -
In the early stages of strength training, Neurological changes represent the majority reason for increased strength gains over that of physiological changes to the muscle fibers themselves in untrained persons beginning a resistance training regimen?

Please do not attempt to answer the question until you have read the overview of the rules located in the thread "pop ins" in the members lounge.
 
Fact, Good job Dave.
