Here it is, the combined journal of me and jman.

I suppose I'll have to take the extra effort to note what I eat now.. which blows, but I'll be glad I did it.

Anyway, I'm starting WS4SB on monday of next week, because my back is acting up again. If you don't know what I mean by that, suffice it to say that I have 2 stress fractures (they're old, doctor says they'll never heal) in one of my lumbar vertebrae that periodically screw with me.)

GL with ws4sb3

I'm doing something similar with Evo :D
 
I'm in; gonna lose my old journal and hang out here.

I stopped doing the everyday HIIT. The first day was intense, the second day was less intense, today I thought my quad was gonna tear if I did another sprint....Didn't realize HIIT was so taxing on yah. Not to mention I did squats before I attempted this.

Todays workout:

ATG Squats
135x5
185x5

Deadlift
135x5
225x5
275x4

Bench Press
135x5
155x5
185x2

After this, like I said earlier, I attempted the HIIT that didn't work. I did a full-body workout today because I haven't done a ME on my upperbody or lowerbody in a while; so this was to catch up.

Forgot all about Deadlifting. Anyway I can get this up in the program? Would this be a ME Upperbody or ME lowerbody exercise?

edit: Also wanna add that my first name is David also ;)

Think this would be a good time to list my stats:

Height: 6'1
Weight: 184
Bench Press: 200
ATG Squat: 235
Parallel Squat: 215x2
Vertical Jump: 28"
20 yard shuttle: 4.88
40 yard dash: 5.34

Practice starts August 4th. So I have only 10 days before light practices start up (6:00 PM-8:00 PM) then the real practices (with pads and everything) start August 16th (with the 16th being a 2-a-day)

I'm just wandering if it would be possible to gain strength during the season because there is always room for improvement.

I can't seem to get my cutting going either but I'm starting it up today. Gonna stop eating the food at work (McDonalds......not exactly a healthy environment) and get it going.

So I woke my ass up at 7:00 AM to get in a breakfast that I normally skip. I had 20 oz of Milk with a scoop of protein. I bought a bag of peanuts to eat during my break at work so I'm gonna higher the fats and proteins and lower the carbs.

ur cutting again?
Click to expand...

depends on my mood :/

lol no serious I am cutting.

Cutting fat = better 40 yard dash, better agility, better vertical jump, better chance to get on field (on special teams)

compared to bulking.....

bulking = slower time, slower agility, lower vertical jump, I might be stronger but I know I add fat easily and it wouldn't even matter because the next smallest linemen is 230 anyhow.

My best chance of getting on the field this year is getting fast. The only thing I am sacrificing is my weight and possibly strength (but this can be prevented with good diet).

I'm starting to feel like its too late but I have a whole 30 days until the first scrimmage. I could lose 10 pounds by then which is like running with a 10 pound vest off you. I just gotta be dedicated.
 
Todays workout

Split Jerks
120x10x3

Table Jumps (30.5")
bodyweight x 5

Lunge Jumps
bodyweight x 5

ATG Squats
120x10

Bent-over-rows
120x2

I wanna get this out there because I can't really talk to anyone else about it....

I swear to god man...... my father just kills my motivation. My Father was a All-American in Wrestling back in his day (around the 70's). He failed college so he never got the chance to go the pros. He also has like some kind of learning disorder or some ****.

I wanna get one thing straight. I play football because I enjoy it. I have no plans for college football; after highschool I'm done. It helps me stay out of trouble (unlike all the other druggies in my neighborhood), it keeps me active, and I like being with my friends. My father on the other hand is some stupid mother****er trying to live his dreams through me. He thinks about me going to the pros and **** (WTF?).

So he is just a major buzz kill. He even believes last year someone injured my ankle on purpose because they feared I was taking there starting spot.

I'm driving home today and hes like "well looks like your friends getting a starting spot this year, he's at team camp, maybe you should be there". (Hes done this **** about a thousand times). Of course this pisses me off. (I didn't go to team camp because I work to pay for gas and groceries, that fat mother****er has the nerve to steal my money to pay for gas when hes buying junk food all the damn time). I CAN"T ****ING STAND HIM. He destroys my motivation to lift, to play football, to do anything. I CAN"T STAND HIM.. I SWEAR TO ****ING GOD; SOMETIMES MAN.............

Today I was just lifting out of anger...normally on split jerks with 120 I can only get 120 for 3x3 well I got it for 10 sets. Then the rest of the workout was just whatever. I stopped after 2 rows because I didn't feel like going anymore (ran out of mad steam I guess)

I just needed to get this out. I'm still mad. I don't wanna talk to this mother****er again. Even when I get injured he just calls me ****y and **** "well I never get injured" well I guess so you 6'6 300 pound fat mother****er.

He has no respect for my decisions. I told him all this above and how hes living his **** through me and he just tells me to hush up.....

anyhow heres my diet today:
Calories 3966
Fat 207
Carb 314
Pro 203

wasnt suppose to get that many calories but today I just don't care. I don't think I'm gonna care tommorow either or the next day after that. I wanna do things for myself not for my father. I finnally stood up to him today and I was just shot down. I can't believe the ignorance of my own father.....

I need to lift to better myself. Not for my father, not for my football team, not for girls, no one. For me. I think this is what is killing my motivation.

I doubt there will be a noticable strength loss if you're cutting properly. People cut in wide-eye fear of strength lost and if we're honest, it really isn't that much even for like a 3-4 month cut.

And yet he won't drive you to the gym?
Click to expand...

Nope....."No gas money" or if they have already worked out he won't take me. I'm doing everything I can to get going on my own.

I gotta get everything back on track. My friends coming back home so I can start working out with him again.

This situation has been going on for a few years. I just bottled it up I guess. Its a good thing I let it out.

I need to keep my father out of my head when I lift and play football this year. I usually enjoy football until I have to go home and you guys know how my father is.

Hes like one of them physcho dads you know that yell in the stands and stuff...I don't understand why he can't just be quite or care for something else like my academics. He don't listen to my mother either; my mother has almost divorced him a few times. Hes also the reason my little brothers and twin sister don't play sports because they know how he is. He takes everything to the extreme.

My grades are really good btw (3.5 GPA) just because I wanna get to college and get the heck out of here.

So today after work I'll see if I can get some ME lowerbody work and some core done.

Thanks bigtom for looking in.

I gotta go to work from 10:00-6:00 , go home eat take a shower workout from 7:00-8:00 then go play some texas hold'em.....I never gamble though.

As for my Father, I'm not gonna talk to him unless he talks to me about something else other then sports. Just gonna completely ignore him for a while. He'll realize whats going on. Man if I had a son I would not have cared if he decided to become a football star or a band geek; whatever makes him happy you know.
 
Today I am going to begin a 8-week cut. I realize that a cut is not something shorterm like I have been thinking of it lately. With this 8-week cut I will only run through 2 games. My goal is at least one pound a week. I am actually having trouble with the bodyfat caliper; my results are jumping like crazy.....so I am gonna use a waist line measurement.

July 26, 2008 185.4, 34.5 Inch waist

My next weigh in will be August 2nd. I should be eatin 2300 calories, 57g of carbs, 258g of protein, and 115g of fat.

15x8

190x10

Gonna move this to a Tricep Isolation next week

I have found new motivation. No more scales, no more body fat testers, no more dumb **** like cutting. For now on its about being a better athlete. Bigger, Faster, Stronger.

2 a days and training camp are gonna make me and others smaller so right now its about getting these lifts up.

I decided that it aint over. Practice and games; I'm just gonna out-heart everyone. Especially this year; the fact that I was injured all last season has just been flaring a fire inside me thats ready to explode.

I'm thinking college football also...I have too much potential and will to compete to have this be my last year of football. I am going to a community college after high school because I can't afford a bigger college. During those 2 and a half years I am gonna dedicate myself to being a better athlete and then transfer over to a D3 school where I will still have all 4 years of NCAA elgibility.
