Indestructible

Trying out boxing for the first time tomorrow!

strengthisstunning:

My friend loves it, and I know it’ll be a good workout so I’m doing it with him tomorrow. I’m kinda nervous just because I’ve injured my wrists so many times with basketball. I kinda have little baby wrists and hands. Oh well, I wanna do it!

Gonna knock some one out! Well not really, but yuhh:)

Just make sure your wrists are tightly wrapped with tape or the gloves and keep a firm fist curled

Well this was fun while it lasted..

Chest and back day, yesterday was tri and bicep. tomorrow is an abs day followed by an alternate legs day which will be dead lift dominant.

Chest and back: started out with intervals on the elliptical, 1 set= 15 sec intense period/ 45 sec rest period; this for 12 sets so 12 mins in total followed by a 15 min period in the sauna to relax and stretch before lifting.

A: Bench- 5/4/3/2/1/2/3/4/5

*started with 135 then increased by 20 each then back down. I dont know how i managed to do 225 without a spotter… mind you i did a new 1MR without a spotter, it was fairly easy.. 

New 1MR: 255 lbs x 1 rep, :D this was satisfying as fuck on the count of i didnt have a spotter and was even able to go all the way down and bring it back up… dont worry there WAS a guy close by doing close grip so if i was about to die he wouldve helped.

B: inclined bench 5x5 @ 135 lbs

seated rowing 4 reps x 9 sets, increased 15 lbs a set up to 180 it was also satisfying i was only able to do up to 150 lbs before.

C: Lat pull down 6x6

Weigh in: 216 lbs at the gym scale :D thats a fucking lb finally losing weight again after restricting my eating habit just a bit, just goes to show it is a diet affair and of course the work out partakes heavily on it, but mostly diet. i lost a lb and i reckon im a bit bloated because i feel it… HOPEFULLY!!!! i wake up at 215 :D that would make my weekend. Gotta keep this up, feel better than usual after a work out especially when seeing my max outs increase and my fat drop. In about a month ill probably post a picture and start up a progress tab on this blog, i should be down to 200 in a month’s time hopefully, of course it takes dedication and damn it do i have a shit ton of it. well, for now im just gonna relax and watch a movie, browse around tumblr, talk to my buddy on skype for a bit and probably knock out on the couch.

Holy everything that is considered Holy.

I didnt want to do a cardio session at the gym, so i came to my apartment and ran a lap around the complex, died completely, i only did the second half, walked the first one. 

My legs feel like Jell-O and my heart rate is jacked after a triple shot. 

Its been a while since i had a good leg work out and i think this is it, im not gonna be able to walk tomorrow.

Should I

Completely isolate my squats from my dead lifts?

Tomorrow

Will be a glorious legs day, I’ll post work out and results after I do it tomorrow

Well

I stopped being 100% dedicated to my diet this past week, just because the week prior was terrible and stressful. Nonetheless i kept up on a maintenance diet, so i dont lose or gain weight, right amount of calories coming from a balanced source of carbs and protein and good fats. Well, this is what i realized throughout the week. So over the next two weeks im gonna go on a ketogenic diet, reason being because i need to put work on my shoulder under conditions where i dont have much energy to go on, this will also mean im not going to take a pre work out or anything of the sort, i need to get this shoulder in full blast asap. Maybe its not the best combination of things im gonna do, but im gonna just give it a shot and if anything goes wrong, better safe than sorry right? So my new target is this: Anything below 210 by the time i go down to miami on the 2nd of march.. 

Anyways, the ultimate goal is where i cut down all the way to 190 by mid april, its doable. Time to cut down, eat clean and get damn strong. School is in the middle there, cant forget about that, stress does nothing good for my body as ive seen multiple times.

Gym sesh

Bench: 230x1 (new max)

Wouldve done 235 if jo hadnt lifted up the bar, i had it, but w/e :D my max totally went up.

Today i made a new split, im gonna drift away from the get jacked workout and just do my own personalized shit. I think at this point i have enough workout experience to do go my own way, i mean hell, im so damn tired my legs totally cramped up. I totally went HAM on my legs and well w.e you all get the point. I think im gonna get cracking to that new split right now. I just need to set up a good diet, MACROs dont really appeal to me, although RAJ and Dlo say it works like a charm. Ketosis, with my budget doesnt seem to work out, im always hungry, because one i cant afford as much food as i need weekly, and hell even if i could i cant eat as much as the diet says to eat.. its too much even for me.. what a conundrum. 

Anyways, my deadlift went down to 275 from 315, but i think i was just tired as hell from the first two circuits. But im not too dissapointed.

On an even brighter note, i’m down to 223 and well finished my first ten lbs and am starting to see tiny differences… ill give myself three weeks to be back at my old weight before moving to Gainesville, 210.. but this time im more muscular due to my bulking, well hell i have to be if im pulling two plate benches and A2G squats easily. 

So yeah im really satisfied with where im at for once, there are some things that could be better, but that comes with time. 

Still, UGW: 185

Bench: 275x1

DL: 365x1

Back Squat: 375x1

the maxes by sept 1st, the weight by mid april.

Here goes everything i guess.

Something that makes me happy.. well a few things

1) the fact that im starting to lose weight again painfully slow though because im not totally dedicating myself.

2) The fact that i have gotten stronger and reached a short term goal in lifting

3) The fact that im keeping up with school and making damn sure i keep a 4.0 

4) almost done with my AA

5) that i just feel this extreme serenity.
