Getting there, I will get there....

Hey, nice goals buddy and good job keeping with the journal.

Just one thing. I don't think you should do 2 fbws in a row and 4 in a week. maybe just do Monday, Wedsnday, Friday?

But since alot of other people who are far more knowledgable than me psoted here and did not mention this, I don't suppose it matters?

Thanks Dave,
If you look at the top of page two, I have already switched to a three schedule.

Thanks again,
Chris

Hey bud, I was looking over your workout and I was wondeirng if you had the oppurtunity to do pullups of any kind?

Pullups and rows do much more for your biceps (not to mention lats) than curls do.

Good luck!

Yeah, I was doing pull ups but right now I am waiting for a bruise to heal on the first knuckle of my middle finger (palm side) it hurts like hell when I do any pull ups, but not when lifting or pushing any weights go figure.

And I do have rows in my workout Mondays and Fridays.

Also I like doing curls as an adding movement in my workouts, just me I guess.

Thanks

Hey CBWill-

Nice journal. This must be a bit of work keeping up with it! Great job on the nutrition side! So how is the body weight doing? your goal of getting back into your 20's...if you make it, let me know how you did it!! As for the hair loss, shave it off. I did it 2 years ago and it is very liberating not to worry about that nonsense anymore!

Craps, I can't believe you're working out at 4:30 AM. Major points to you for that feat!

Thanks Doug,

On the body weight I am not sure as I am trying not to weigh myself until the end Sept.
Physically I think I have noticed some difference.
I have a photo of myself taken at the beginning of this 8 to 10 week workout schedule.
It will be interesting to see what changes have happen over the two month period.

On the age reversal I am not hold my breath.

The hair, well I have shaved the noggin a few times, at 220lbs I could do a great Uncle Fester for Halloween. I will shave again.

4:30am is not that big a deal for me as I am use to waking up at 5:00am and still do on none weight days.

Later
CBW

Hi CB, what's a Farmers walk?

I think your schedule looks a lot better now than the one in your first post btw, did someone recommend it or did your alter it yourself after reading around?

The farmers walk is just walking carrying weight in your hands, right know I am using two 16kg kettlebells. I do loops around the back yard.


As for the schedule, I adjusted it on my own (reading), the new one works much better.
