Weekend Recovery/ Work

The weekend is a hard ass time for me, I had to work 1 to 930 both days. I also had several Home Safe Detroit runs to take care of. So I slept about 5 to 6hours a night but I was busy nonstop. The benefit is at night I was able to force myself to constantly eat. even while driving to the next pickup.

The weekend was brutal after that hardcore leg day, all you can do in this situation is take BCAAs and creatine and hope it helps healing for the next day.

By Monday I felt stellar, another key to my non workout days is eating. I try to eat every 2 hours, I even carry snack food into work with me in my pocket. I keep food in my car so incase I'm rushed and can't eat breakfast I can cram food in on the way to work. I generally prefer to eat 2 granola bars, fruit snacks and my creatine on the way to work. Why the hell am I eating fruit snacks? They are delicious and high in calories and carbs which helps me be energized and keep going.

Friday October 19th Leg Day

1) I switched gyms, I filled out for the trial membership for PowerHouse and called to activate it and got talked into a 1 dollar down 30 dollar a month plan within 1 minute. I was so pumped, love Power House.

2) I was probably the smallest person many of you ever met before I started working out. if I'm confident enough to go to Power House, you should be too.

- Leg Day

I spent all day eating high amounts of carbs and protein to ensure I would be fully energized and ready to go hard on legs.

Intense leg curls from both directions, really wanted to get into single leg movements also but I wasn't able to given time constraints.

Leg extensions
Dead Lifts
Calf Raises with 100lbs resistance
Leg Press

Ab rotations
Leg raises to work lower abs

Tuesday 9/15/13 ARMS

This is another change up, usually this would be back and bicep day. But instead I hit triceps and biceps hard.

TRICEPS
Tricep pull down
Over head tricep press
Skull crushers
Close crip bench press

BICEPS
One Arm Curls
Dual Arm Curls
Barbell curl

I was in a hurry due to having to work that night, so I did all of these with very little time in between. I feel sore today, I went hard and intense regardless of the short amount of time.

Chest Brah Monday

I decided to switch programs... Obviously everybody's body is unique and if you keep doing the same shit over and over again it's going to adapt and stop growing. It's like when I started working in grocery instead of service and I noticed I was getting stronger... Then I stopped getting stronger. So I started following jay Cutler's living large series on bodybuilding.com. Keep in mind previously I had just read up on everything and stayed with a basic formula, it kinda worked I gained almost 20 pounds. I'm stronger I'm putting up more weight than I ever have before. But I figured fawk it let's keep trying new things.

CHEST DAY ONLY NO TRICEPS
Chest Press 4 x (Maxed out at 45 on each side new personal high)
Incline Chest Press 4 x (Maxed out at 50 new personal high)
Dumb bell press maxed out at 30 I felt I could have done more but I didn't have a spotter.. I did 8 on the last set in order to make up for that fear.

I did dips because in the program it said too, I also used the tricep press which I noticed worked my chest muscles like the chest dips.

Push ups 50 and failed

I thought man This probably isn't going to make me sore... but today I'm sore as hell and I'm writing this 2 days later.

Since I worked 11 to 7... There was an amazing Tigers playoff game on that distracted me and I had to do a run for my other job at 10... I didn't get to work out.

But let's review some things I did do for this process...

I ate 4 meals as usual but I had a huge pre bed meal lol

There's a slider place called Tel Way in South West Detroit, my boy Christian was dedicated to eating there..

So pre bed like an hour before bed for my shitty 6am shift..

I ate 4 sliders.. Calories and hopefully some pre bed protein.

My boy weighs almost 300 and could only eat 3 I had 4..
