Back day

I was off day...

Started with 2 granola bars and a greek yogurt, 1 can of pepsi, then 1 monster.. I was groggy as hell for some reason.

Then I ate 2 pieces of bolonga, 1 piece of sharp cheddar, 2 bowls of gold fish crackers... them bishes are amazing.

Dinner 3 bowls of home made chicken noodle soup ( 1 3lb package of chicken breast, 2 potatoes, 3 pieces of celery, 2 carrots, 1 can of chicken broth, roughly 1 cup of egg noodles) I pretty much ate the entire pan of soup. This cold has been messing with me tired of it.

From there, I drank my build HD creatine...

2 scoops C4 blue raspberry
2 scoops amino energy
1 bottle of water

The dual pulley system again offered more resistance

I had to do a DD run so I ran out of time before I could go into biceps, so tomorrow is suppose to be a rest day. But I'm going to do forearms and biceps to take advantage.

It probably is in no bodybuulding handbook to eat 4 white castle burgers on the way home from a DD run but yolo. We will worry about abs in February right now we just care about protein, calories and carbs for bulking season. 

Monday 10/21/13 Chest and Triceps bish

The downfall of this day was I worked 5am to 130pm. I went home and crashed for 3 hours then woke up.. bought the 2 for 1 amino energy sale at Vitamin Shoppe and then went to the gym.

I really don't recall all my meals sorry.

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

After Gym-
Crunches
Planks

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.
