Octopussoir Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Saturday I did an hour of arms. Bis got a good pump and tris were okay... Felt accomplished afterwards. Sunday(today) I did an hour of cardio on Precor. 6% incline level 10 for 1 hour switching direction each 20minutes. After workout I cooked 2bricks tofu, 1crown broccoli, chia seeds, mushrooms,1can of black beans, light soy sauce(few splashes), water, basil olive oil, black pepper and garlic powder. Tried to drink a #3 Kombucha but it kept fizzing and kept me from drinking it...damnit. Maybe its a sign... so i cracked open a water. I shared a small bowl of it with Jersey and I ate almost the whole panful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopussoir Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Not a fan of arm size or lack of in front lat spread... Since my arms have always been the smallest part of my body is really doesnt matter to me what you think of them. No shit theyre small, but I can present them bigger on stage so.... stfu. Today I hit chest. Took a nap right before so I wasnt feeling quite like myself. I also had a "stick" of grape no explode so my caffeine rush kicked in and I was spacey for some of my workout. I did do a 15min warmup.... with hoodie on. Got warm. Today for breakfast I had a few small handfuls of nuts,seeds,small dried fruit mix. Have had (2) 3scoop shakes of sunwarrior and 2 probars. I felt I needed something more than shakes to get through some chest. Ill burn them off tomorrow when I have to do an hour of cardio. I feel I might be hitting cardio a little soon this year, but I want to be ready and leaner than I was last year as that was one thing the judges said I needed to work on. My six pack IS showing and my 8 pack is starting to come out. I made a 3scoop shake of sunwarrior Postworkout and am cooking tofu right now and will have another 3scoop shake before bed. I feel like I need four 3scoop shakes of protein a day to get more than enough(180g+) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinzen Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Gotta tell ya man your still massive, and any loss of muscle will be easy for ya to rebuild I am sure. I am not sure if your arms look smaller because they are less cut or if they are just smaller. Best of luck man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aluck Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 No need to be a grump. You look good was just being honest. Not a fan of arm size or lack of in front lat spread...

Ruz Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I forgot to mention that I did the ab wheel last night on knees and standing on feet. When I was on my knees I would go almost flat were nose touched ground and standing almost flat with arms almost fully extended... rUff! I can't do the ab wheel from standing!! If you wanna try something in the middle try kneeling on a bench... I do that till I can't anymore and then drop down to the floor. I suppose the best progression for you would be standing to failure, then kneeling on a bench to failure, then onto the floor.By the way..looking great!!

robert Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hey, is everyone on board for the April show in Oregon? As far as I know, Ed, Jimi, Myself, and a few of my friends in Portland are planning on it. I haven't checked in with the show promoter or anything but at the moment we plan on it. It would be great to see others come out too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopussoir Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Tues was an off day Wed I did a mixture of legs,abs, and upper with 45min cardio after Thrs(today) I did chest and back in the A.M. and abs,some chest, some back, and some tris with an hour of cardio. I felt great in the gym tonight!! Felt bigger looked better. My bodyfat is lower right now than it was this time last year so I plan on having even less bodyfat for the first show in April!! Since I've done two days in a row doing cardio i get to take Tom off and just weight train for a couple hours. I now know that just one workout a day ISNT enough and I need two 2hour workouts like today. I'm drinking 3scoops of sunwarrior during each cardio session and tonight I made spinach spaghetti with Gimme Lean meatballs and a marinara sauce. This weekend I will go salt free to kick some of my bloat. Almost a whole package of Gimme Lean is enough to say Gimme some faux meat with my salt please.

Octopussoir Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Wow, its been a while since ive updated... 3 days, so here I am. Took the weekend off. Needed it I think. Today was a leg day. Felt pretty light during and after until I got to my hour of cardio where my quads started cramping on the treadclimber. I changed the way I normally workout to an older way that I used to just to keep my heart rate up and to stay warm. And i was working out with a beginner. I would do the first exercise out of the 2 grouped and right after without rest do the next one. Bench squat: Bwx50, 10lbx50, 20x25, 30x50, 50x25 **(should have went 50 reps on all sets cause it felt really easy)Pushups: 20x5 sets Leg press: 160lbsx20x3sets, 250lbsx10x3setsJump Squats: x10x3sets, x15x3sets DB sumo squats: 20x20, 30x20, 50x20Step ups(4 risers+top): x20x3sets Smith squats: 125x10x3setssitups: x25x2sets, 10lbx25 Calf machine: 110x25x3sets(toes-straight/out/in), 210x25x3(S/O/I), 310x25x3(S/O/I) Leg xtns: 145x10x2sets, 205x10x2sets, 300x10Ham curls: 95x15, 125x15, 170x10 =2 hours... some was waiting on workout partner to recoup. Then I got on treadclimber for 1 hour of cardio- max treadles 3.0mph. 3 hours total with a 12min warmup on stationary bike. I will be hitting up the glutamine tonight.
