Starting to come along

VEINS that is all…

Not really, today was rough as far as length and being out in the sun depleted. Things picked up when I got back in the gym and my squat was feeling pretty good. Not as strong as I would have like, as I only got up to 225 today, but it was acceptable and I’m leaning up more each day so I could care less at this point.

Next week is going to be sick and I hope some of you folks around the Louisville area will come hang out.

See you in the Darkness

Week in overview

This week began with something that is not so normal for me.

A trip to the doctor’s office.

I have been having some abdominal pain for the past few week and on Monday decided to go have that checked out. Nothing sharp or biting just a little pressure as if a 5 lb plate was sitting on my stomach when laying down.

My doc checked me out and thinks it is from my hernia repair a few years back. He thinks the wire mesh is pulling at its insertion point in my lower abdominal. He hit me up with a weeks worth of pain killers and I have been healing up nicely.

Training this week has gone blah. The kind of blah you feel after you get home from some GVT (german volume training) and you know you wont move for hours. Except it didn’t lift big weights, high reps, or ever once look liked I lifted in the gym this week. Needless to say, but I will to appease the crowd, I am looking forward to next week.

Speaking of things I’m looking forward to, cutting. Ah yes, I will begin my cut at the beginning of February. I was planning on starting in March, but one of my friends told me that Bodybuilding.com is starting their annual 12 week transformation contest. This contest lets anyone enter and looks for the person who makes the greatest change over the 12 weeks. Last day to register is the 31st of January. If you would like know more click below.

Besides that the week was bland. Will attempt to put on a few more pounds and find myself around 175 come end of the month.

TIP OF THE WEEK: Make your Resolution a life style

I know this is a couple of weeks behind, but it needs to be said. If you made a promise to yourself at the beginning of the year, make sure you follow through with whatever that is. If it is to jump out of a plane, find yourself a skydiving business to call. If you want to learn how to swim call your local YMCA, I am sure they would teach you.  If you promised to workout 3 days a week, find a work partner or a buddy on Fitocracy, and have them push you towards that goal all year. Whatever your resolution is, do not just let it be empty words. Make it something that you can look back on at the end of the year and be proud of how far you’ve come.
