  1. Well I had fall break and didn't lift at all because I was home. I come back and find out I can no longer lift on Monday because apparently our shitty basketball team needs the weight room to themselves. Whatever.

     

    Anyway I'm going to be doing back and shoulders on sunday now.

     

    Today was a light chest and arms day because I have a recital tomorrow. Can't play trombone with sore muscles. I've tried.

     

    Bench

     

    1x8@135

    1x5@185

    2x5@190

    1x2@190(I got tired fast)

    Preacher Curls

    DB bench

     

    3x8@55s

     

    Cooled down and went back to the apartment where I sit typing this. Probably going to have some gluten free pasta with vegan pesto my mommy made me over fall break. Maybe toss in some tempeh sauted in olive oil. Gonna keep it light tonight though.

  2. The Coup- Ghetto Manifesto

     

    My favorite rap group so far. Anyone who has a song called 5 Million Ways To Kill A CEO roxxors. Apparently the release I'm listening to didn't sell well due to bad distribution. Thank you internet for having blogs that post OOP and bootleg albums.

  3. Ok lift considering I stressed about my math test and got very little sleep.

     

    (for no good reason either, the professor says he's doing a time curve which is good because myself and about 99 percent of the class didn't finish.

     

    Squats

     

    1x8@135

    3x5@225

     

    My back felt really odd so I stopped. Didn't hurt it but it felt super weak today.

     

    Leg press

     

    3x8@340

     

    Felt awesomeeeee.

    Ab pulldowns

     

    3x20@80

     

    Leg curls

     

    3x8@130

     

    Gonna do some cardio tomorrow. Ughh, hopefully I can start loving cardio as much as I've started loving squats.

  4. I'm the only vegan in my apartment.

     

    Everything seems to go over smoothly with my stuff. I generally use different pots and pans but my room mates very rarely cook meat in the apartment. I think it's happened twice that I can remember.

     

    Also if you buy special vegan stuff maybe say "hands off" if it's something that's essential for your diet. There's nothing worse than not having bananas for your protein shake.

  5. Good day today

     

    Bench

    Barbell curls with 45 lbs olympic bar

     

    3x12

     

    Good lift. I'm adding cardio in on weekends. Should be fun to see the results of that in a month. I bet it'll be interesting to see how much fat I can shed.

     

    My goals for my body as of today are:

     

    Build strength

    Tone muscles, but mainly go for a big ol' strongman look

    cut fat from stomach area(bleh, this is the sucky goal)

    Improve cardiovascular strength

     

    I'm focusing more on an all around lifting routine this year. Last year was big time powerlifting. I'm sure I'll switch my focuses around a few times this year just to keep things interesting.

  6. (it was a record high, thank you republicans)

     

    Don't place the blame on someone else, you are just as responsible as anyone.

     

    I like to smack talk them as often as possible. It's actually a risky endeavor at my school.

     

    And I beg to differ that I'm equally responsible. I know I am part of it but I do not have as much power as a politician and I sure as hell didn't vote for any republican.

     

    Now if Ron Paul gets the nomination...

  7. Studying was last week(I had 3 tests in one day).

     

     

     

    I actually had a bunch of stuff.

     

     

     

    Friday night watched Metalocalypse with the metal heads(there's 3 of them at my school and I love them all), then got up at 8AM(fuck) to play a damn band concert(which was terrible because musicians don't do that crap), then got back showered, went to play in the pep band for the football game(it was homecoming weekend), ran back to the apartment, showered again(it was a record high, thank you republicans), went to an Alumni reception for Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia(my music fraternity I'm in) then had our founder's day ceremony, then hung out at Ihop(yick, no vegan yummies), got some IPA and Goose Island, watched Saw and did other shenanigans and then had sex till 4:30 in the morning.

     

    Sunday I ate and cleaned.

     

    I had a lot of fun and don't regret any of it, I was just exhausted. Thankfully this week I've had a lot of classes canceled so it's pretty light.

  8. I had a crap day lifting today. Just wasn't in the mood combined with being drained from certain activities this weekend.

     

    Anywho here are the lifts

     

    Deadlifts

     

    4x10@135lbs(60KG)

     

    My legs were killing me so I took it easy.

     

    Shrugs

     

    5x6@275

     

    I surprised myself with shrugs and rocked the crap out of them. Probably because deadlifts were easy style.

     

    Seated Rows

     

    3x8@150

     

    also pretty easy.

     

    Side Rows

     

    3x8@55

     

    I'm going to kick my ass on wednesday to make up for this crap today.
