Contradicting My Own Cunt

Posted: March 28th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Body | Tags: | No Comments »

Well having just finished another exercise in dullery over the course of a weekend I’ve now acknowledged my pattern of eating.

Which appears to be undereating on workout days, fasting between those, and then overeating like fuck-all on the other days.

Anyway I’ve been crashing into sleep recently and managed to find myself in the position of ‘if you don’t write it now you’re going to have to post THREE workouts at once after tomorrow.’

So here we go.

Choke on it.

Workout for March 23, 2010

Pulldown

  1. 45lbs x 5
  2. 45 x 5
  3. 55 x 5
  4. 80 x 3
  5. 100 x 2
  6. 115 x 4 (could have done one more but I didn’t feel like going to failure today)
  7. 105 x 4 (need to watch form!)
  8. 95 x 4 (FORM, goddamn it!)

Weight stays on all three work sets, need more reps.

Incline Press

  1. 45lbs x 5
  2. 45 x 5
  3. 45 x 3 (oops, I was supposed to load it to 60)
  4. 75 x 2
  5. 90 x 2
  6. 105 x 5 (good)
  7. 90 x 6 (too much arms)
  8. 75 x 7 (ugh, was really glad to be done with these)

Skipped into the bathroom after this exercise and downed 15mg yohimbine HCL and 200mg caffeine in anticipation of impending cardio.

Lateral Raise

  1. 35lbs x 3
  2. 55 x 2
  3. 65 x 6
  4. 60 x 6

I skipped the last drop set because my left shoulder told me not to. I don’t really know if I want to increase the reps to eight or increase the weight again next workout. I’m mostly going for size so I’ll probably stay the weight so I can make it to my third working set next time.

Nautilus Crunch

  1. 35lbs x 5 (during this set the yohimbine + caffeine kicked in. Felt pretty good. WARM!)
  2. 35 x 5
  3. 55 x 3
  4. 80 x 2
  5. 95 x 6
  6. 85 x 7

I noticed that I didn’t go as far forward as I normally would have. I’m not entirely sure I DISLIKE this, because I definitely feel it more in my above-belly-button now much less than in my ass.

I almost did Back Extensions but I figured I’ll just make the conscious effort to sit/stand upright as an effort to improving my posture. Surely efforting against taut abdominals will provide all the static strength my lower back needs until I start deadlifting again this summer.

CARDIO – 30 minutes, 7.67 miles, 93-135bpm, level 3 recumbent bike.

Body Weight: 166lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 17.8%

Condition: C-; I either ate too many carbs preworkout or woke up too early (5AM on both, for a 9AM workout)

I also am doing ephedrine in combination with my yohimbine, but only one dose and some time after the yohimbine. I waited until 2PM for my first EC dose, while my YC dose was at 9:45AM. This works really well for appetite suppression. I had to essentially force my post-workout meal competitive style before I was picked up to go home.

A typical post-workout meal is at Panda Express: Lo mein, mandarin chicken (no sauce), beef broccoli. I always get my fortune cookie, and then I get a cookie at Subway too (macadamia nut FTW.)

My next workout was kind of awkward. It was both sooner and more brief than I would have liked. I deloaded my main lifts considerably and wrote them all in the journal, though I really only had time for one of them. In all I only had time to perform half of the routine I wrote for myself, but in all I was proud of my time management skills, and ability to know what to sacrifice under pressure.

I am not proud of the fact that this was basically an arms day.

“Workout” for March 25, 2010

Pulldown

  1. 30lbs x 5
  2. 30 x 5
  3. 45 x 3
  4. 60 x 2
  5. 75 x 6
  6. 75 x 7
  7. 75 x 8 (too much arms)
  8. 75 x 6 (my left trap/shoulder was pinching in an annoying way so I stopped)

I then skipped my 60% intensity pressing and raises because, time aside, that shoulder! Fuck!

Hi-Low Cable Twists

  1. 20lbs x 5
  2. 20 x 5
  3. 30 x 5 (oops)
  4. 50 x 3
  5. 60 x 5 (GREAT SUCCESS)

I was sharing the pulleys with Balrog from Street Fighter who had managed to break one of the pulleys himself with his fist. I wish I was joking. He wasn’t using the pulleys when I got there, though, he was doing leg raises from shoulder straps. After these I did my yohimbine+caffeine. One of the fuckers exploded in my throat! Gag.

Tricep Extension

  1. 7.5lbs x 5
  2. 12.5 x 3
  3. 17.5 x 5 (WOW!)
  4. 12.5 x 5

I was just really happy that I managed that. It was a significant effort to get just three last time.

Dumbbell Curl

  1. 10bs x 5
  2. 15 x 3
  3. 20 x 1
  4. 15 x 4

I originally had it going 10-12-20 but I didn’t think 12 would have been a significant enough jump to be ready for 20lbs. I was wrong! It was too much for sure! Fuck!

I didn’t have a lot of time left if I was going to be taking a shower so I trotted off to the recumbent.

CARDIO- 22 minutes, 4.55 miles, 120bpm, level 3.

Body Weight: 163lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 16.7%

Condition: C+; stomach-ache, possibly from preworkout meal (same as the previous workout: deli meat, shitcheese, and white bread with fat free miracle whip), also shat MADLY as soon as I got to the locker room.

Post-workout meal was better than usual, though. Went to a local diner with my dad (that was the time pressure…) and had a bacon cheeseburger with a half-order (well, full order, only ate half…) of fries. Dad bought me two boxes of Pure Protein bars that were on clearance. I can’t see where they are from typing but I know one of them is something to do with marshmallows. When I run out of the Detour bars with the peanuts in them I’ll eat those to put off having to eat the shittier Red Wrapper Detour bars…

Monday is Max Effort day again. Fuck these filler days, man. Took advantage of the free-ride-to-gym though and hit some exercises I normally miss, but it just isn’t as fun to progress on lifts I don’t care about.
