Still sick. I wanted to start fasting today, but it just didn’t happen. I ate pretty much the entirety of my maintenance calories for breakfast and then slowly adding on top of that throughout today. Blah.

Tomorrow will probably be my last day of over-maintenance eating, if I go above maintenance at all.

I just got my Yohimbine HCL in the mail, too, so I’m going to begin taking that tomorrow. Probably before I work out.

I’m going to write up my workout for Saturday so I don’t have one of those annoying doubled-up posts. I don’t get to yammer as much about nothing when I do those. So I don’t like them. Saturday I did a couple sets of direct arm work: triceps, biceps, and wrist extensors. I’ll probably only do direct arm stuff every other workout, though, to sidestep worries of overtraining them.

I might work wrist flexors next time. My hands seem to finally be in line with my forearms so I can try adding a bit of mass there without worrying about my hand idly slapping the white part of my arm.

Workout for Saturday, March 20, 2010

Pulldown

1. 45lbs x 5
2. 45 x 5
3. 50 x 5
4. 70 x 3
5. 90 x 2
6. 110 x 5 (increase)
7. 100 x 6
8. 95 x 6

Incline Press

1. 45lbs x 5
2. 45 x 5
3. 45 x 5
4. 60 x 3
5. 75 x 2
6. 90 x 12 (holy shit; gotta watch my form as the reps get higher, my elbows caved in for a couple reps before I noticed; definitely increasing)
7. 75 x 10
8. 60 x 6 (could have done more but my right delt had other plans)

Lateral Raise

1. 30lbs x 3
2. 45 x 2
3. 60 x 8 (increase)
4. 55 x 6
5. 50 x 10

Tricep Cable Extension

1. 7.5lbs x 5
2. 12.5 x 5
3. 17.5 x 3.5 (this was really hard)
4. 12.5 x 5
5. 12.5 x 5 (I’ll probably stay the weight)

I’m not really worried about my triceps being weaker than my biceps in isolation movements. Triceps contribute way more significantly on pressing movements than my biceps do on pulldowns.

Dumbbell Bicep Curl

1. 5lbs x 5
2. 8 x 5
3. 10 x 5
4. 12 x 5
5. 15 x 5
6. 15 x 5
7. 15 x 5 (increase)

My wrists have been annoyingly… limp… lately. So I decided to do some reverse wrist curls in an effort to bring my hands up to proper karate-chopping glory.

Reverse Wrist Curl

1. 3lbs x 5
2. 5 x 5
3. 8 x 5
4. 10 x 5
5. 12 x 5
6. 12 x 5
7. 12 x 3 (stay)

Workout Time: 1 hour, 55 minutes

Weight: 169lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 19.6%

Condition: C- (still felt sick, but no debilitatingly so. Not constipated but could have definitely felt better after a shit. Carb-loaded.)

I have this annoying nickname like thing the black fellas call me at the gym if they don’t take the time to introduce themselves and thusly procure my true name. I learned, some time between pulldown sets while I was at the water fountain, that this is “Big Game,” not “Big Grins” or “Brill Chins” or “Bill Jims.” I had heard it a few times as “Big Gains” which I guess would have been a decent enough nickname, too. Big Game(s)? I feel like a boar. Fucking wild pig going to tear your throat out if you skip in on me between sets because you think you’re doing a ‘circuit.’

UGH I HATE CIRCUITS. YOU  CIRCUIT DOUCHES, GO DIE.
