ELLO ELLO

Okay, so, I skipped Monday's workout because I started school and my sleep schedule was pretty out there. Also, the start of the new quarter brings in new people who wanna get fit :| Now I know how regular gym members felt about all of the NYR people that showed up. Luckily, they tend to burn themselves out after a couple of weeks. But yeah the gym was kinda annoyingly loud and full. Literally no lockers AAAAAaaa okay on to numbers.

Wednesday:

Quad/Ham/Abs/Calves

-Squat (195)
-Leg curls (120)
-Leg Extensions (150)
-Calf Raises (360)


Shoulders/Arms

-Front Raises - 25
-Dumb. Shoulder Press Arnold Press - 40
Shrugs - 110
Lat Raises - 20
Overhead Press - 95

-Inc. curl - 25
Hammer Curl - 30
-Preacher curl - 25
-Pull ups - 7x6x5
-Tri kickbacks - 25
-Tri pull-down - 110
-Close grip bench - 95

Weight ~147 (To be fair, my stomach was growling and everything when I worked out)

Yeah, I did legs today to compensate. But. Holy crap, 195 on squat o_O; Granted, the last set was really hard and I almost gave out, but wtv. Still. 20 pound gain? Maybe it's from all the biking I did over Spring Break haha. Seriously, I biked to the gym, kroger, dyson, the terrace...yeah. And when I went to Kroger, I had a super heavy backpack on. WOO.

I'm pleased by my pull ups since I could barely do two before, but my arms are seeing REALLY slow gains. Granted, if I did preacher curls near the beginning of my workout rather than towards the end, I might be able to do 30. Tri kickbacks were easy, will go up to 30 next week. Same with Arnold Press. OHP I MIGHT be able to go up on. I dunno, we'll see. I'm definitely gonna get 150 on bench and get that achievement though. need like 110-115 to get the first OHP achievement...and I think 225 for the next squat and deadlift.

I'll do abs along with my chest workout on Friday, and shrugs since I neglected them. Like usual.

But yeah, looked in the mirror and I look kind of big. Like. Strongfat. Except more like strongchubby? Point is, I had that big muscle looking going on. Kind of can't wait to cut to see exactly what's under all this fat. I think I'm gonna cut regardless at the end of May though, even if I don't hit 160. I think I'll hit 155 with some effort though!

Lifewise, well. Classes are gonna own me. So is life. I'm not even thinking about girls right now :T Well I mean, okay. I'm a guy so it's inevitable. I mean, not actively trying to talk to them except in a friendly way. Whatever that's a lie I hit on girls DAILY.

Seriously though I need to sleep bye.

Quickie

Pretty tired, 7am, and I know my bug bites are gonna itch like crazy tonight :||| no decent sleep yay.

So, yeah, not  bad. Though on the Deads, I totally flaked on my last set. I dunno, I get intimidated by the weight? Also, my grip was bad and I felt it slip a couple of times. Yeahhhh I dunno. May stay at 195 for a couple of weeks until I can get my grip up. Switched back to bench also, a 10 pound improvement immediately. I'm gonna get 150 for sure next week, and by proxy, my next achievement. Two, since I'll have 25 finally.

But yeah, good numbers all around. People around me are starting to take their bodies more seriously too it seems, which is great! I'm pleased that some of my friends are wanting to get rippededed. It also means they can see a difference in my physique? I dunno, I don't really see it, but maybe it's there.

Also, starting next week, I'm going hardcore into art mode. Not hanging out much, getting on top of my work, etc. No more fooling around. DOING IT. WINNING!

Most impressed by my weight. 150 pounds. Ten more pounds since I'm bulking to 160 and I already feel/look sort of fattish. And then epic cut 8D I'm hoping to hit 160 by the end of April, then spend my summer cutting. I'll maintain from summer all the way through winter, and start bulking again when it gets cold. I'll probably only bulk to like 170 since I'm thinking of only cutting down to 145-150. We'll see how it goes. I just know I can't wait to start cutting feeling like a fat as fatass.

I know what you're thinking: HE TOTALLY QUIT. But nah brah you're wrong. First, I was just too damn tired to update my numbers, and then I had to take the week off for finals. But I went today and got the 'No excuses' achievement on the /fit/ poster haha. Anyway huge post with bad numbers:

I'm not TOO upset about any of this. I mean, I was running on poor eating and little sleep, and was exhausted and stressed beyond belief. I'm more surprised only my Hammer curl went down.

So yeah skipped a week and now today:

Friday
Chest/Back

-Bench - (135)  TAKING A BREAK CAUSE I PLATEAUED.
-Incline Bench 115
-Flys (15)
 -Dead (185) Yay 25 pound weight
 -DB Press (50)

-Pulldowns (90) Shoulder effed up later, got through two sets though
-Pull weight chest thing (55) Did it at the end, so pretty tired I guess.
-Dumbell Row (50)
Dip (3x8)
Pullups (3x5) 


Weight: 145.2


Not surprised here either. Wasn't at 100% :P Incline was easier, but I didn't want to do TOO much in my current condition. But yeah, deadlift is finally up. Close to that 200 mark, and then aiming for 1.5 bodyweight. 


Okay gonna go sleep slightly siiick.

oh man

Okay back. That's right, it took me two and a half hours to workout, shop, and then get back here. It's so easy to get through my program when the gym is empty! No curl bros hoggin' the rack, not having to worry about navigating around people...pretty great brah. 

And I saw a friend there! I was really surprised. She waved at me from across the room and I just kind of like squinted since I'm blind. But then she walked up and I was like 'OHAYYY!' The fact that she works out gives her like +10 cool points. I dig girls that care about their health. Not saying I dig her, though, because I don't. Too innocent for me, and as you know, I'm pretty screwed up. She covered her face at Fritz the Cat––Which, okay, furry porn isn't my bag either, but covering the face is a bit TOO cute and innocent. I'm not that kind of otaku. I prefer tsunderes.

...Uh. Oops. Small tangent there, sorry. But yeah got a lot done in the four hours I've been awake. ON TO NUMBERS.


Friday
Chest/Back

-Bench - (135)  TAKING A BREAK CAUSE I PLATEAUED.
-Incline Bench (115/120/120)
-Flys (15)
 -Dead (175) :DD TEN AWAY FROM A 25 WEIGHT.
 -DB Press (50)

-Pulldowns (100) Shoulder effed up later, got through two sets though
-Pull weight chest thing (65) Did it at the end, so pretty tired I guess.
-Dumbell Row (50)
Dip (3x8x7x6)

I'm thinking of editing my split so that chest and back aren't on the same day. It makes sense, really, but eh. Maybe Chest/Tris, Back/legs, Bis/Abs? I'll run this program for another month or so, idk. Also my weight was 147! On one hand I feel fatter, but on the other my shoulders look broader and I'm stronger. IDK. Can't wait to start cutting, though. I think I said I was aiming for 170? Don't remember.

OH wait kroger this is what I got:

10lbs(!!!!) of chicken for like 6 bucks.
1.5 dozen eggs for 2.50
2 Rice Sides at 2.00 for both
Beans for 1.00
Can of mixed veggies for .69
brown rice for 2.00
2 jars peanut butter for 2.50


That'd get me through a week and a half super easy, even with meeting my calorie (not so much protein I guess) goals. I'm like pro at shopping now. THERE ARE SOME ADVANTAGES TO BEING BROKE I GUESS LOL. Wish I had kept the cottage cheese, but that was another 2.00. Could've afforded it but ehhhhhh idk. Next shopping trip. 

Speaking of which my dad needs to send that money. Have to buy meds and more groceries. Still need onions, mayo, potatoes, veggies, whole wheat bread I guess, and some more tortillas. Might look into tuna if it's on sale, and ramen for those desperate times.


OK that's it. Gonna shower, read some homestuck, nap, then idk maybe go to the yule ball?

Wednesday 
 

-Front Raises - 20 (Did it for ten reps, more control)
-Dumb. Shoulder Press Arnold Press - 35
Shrugs - 100 (Eh half-assed)
Lat Raises - 15
Overhead Press - 85

-Inc. curl - 25
Hammer Curl - 30
-Preacher curl - 25
-Pull ups - 3 x 7,5,4
-Tri kickbacks - 20
-Tri pull-down - 100
-Close grip bench - 95

So, yeah, substituted hammer for incline. Just to switch things up. My weight was also at 144.4, so I may be 145 today. There's really no sense in keeping track every workout day. It should be once a week really. I just like seeing where I'm at.

Awake at 5:30AM. I woke up around 5, started laundry, made post-workout food, cleaned the microwave, and yeah. Gonna head out to the gym when my laundry's done at around 6:20. Might as well go for the Early Bird achievement while I'm up, right? I dunno, though, I feel a bit tired. I feel like my gains won't be all that great today, if I make any at all.  

Going to Kroger afterwards to pick up some things since it'll prolls be decently empty. Only things I can carry; Eggs, Peanut Butter, pack of chicken, and potatoes MAYBE. 5lb bag is heavy on a bike. I dunno I might forgo the potatoes, don't want to be bogged down too much. Chicken/eggs/PB is a must though. Need that brotein. I'll probably get the other few items I need from Red and White since they're of little consequence. Ugh I have nothing I can make really quickly.


Sometimes I think about my life and my face pulls a ':S' but then I realize it could be much worse and I pull a '\_(ツ)_/'
