Saturday

Well yesterday was a fun day. It started off with a killer leg workout which I will detail in a little bit and ended with going to the Astros game.

Trish’s good friend was able to get tickets for us so of course we went. It was a decent game against the Dodgers, but was a little uneventful (as most ball games are). We left in the bottom in the 9th with the Dodgers up 3-5. 

Dinner was nice or half nice. We tried the new Cafe Adobe in Clear Lake and the was nice, but the service sucked. Trish and I ordered our food and then part of it did not show up till we were ready to leave. Needless to say our waitress was not left a tip. I mean how do you screw up a couple of very simple orders?!?

Well lets backtrack now to legs in the morning. It was a brutal workout and my legs may recover tomorrow or the next day who knows?

Chest Day

Well today was a good day for me. Went and hit chest and abs pretty hard so it was a good day. Cardio was at 6 am this morning and as always trying to stay up all day since I promised my darling wife. So here is my chest and ab routine for your consumption.

Chest
Hammer Strength Incline 2×15 2×12 2,4 plates for the first 2 sets and then 6,8 plates for the last 2
Incline Flyes 4×12 40,40,50,60
Pec Dec 4×12 80,90,100,110
Flat bench chest press 7×12 150 did these extra slow with a little less weight so I could do each rep really slow and feel the stretch at the bottom and then squeeze at the top.

Abs
Rope Crunches 4×20 110
Trunk Twist 4×20 50
Leg Raises 4×20

Met a young guy who said if I was serious about bodybuilding I should do FST-7. I got a good chuckle at that since I mentioned that I was a senior mod for Hany’s site. Well that is it so far for today. Gotta eat meal 3 in a couple hours.

Olympia Musing

Wow three weeks till the Olympia.  So many questions to be answered and new ones will be asked.  Biggest question to be answered will be can Jay retain his title this year?  Many point to the fact that Kai is on the rise and Jay’s own good friend Phil Heath is coming on like a mad man.  Plus you can’t forget my fellow Texan Branch Warren and his 2nd place last year.  I look forward to seeing what magic he and George put together for this year.  I saw pics of him from the JR USA here in Houston and he looked good for 4 weeks out.

I know Hany is working like a mad man with 6 different clients in the Olympia.  Looking forward to seeing all the Team Rambod athletes.  I’ll have more later this week since it is about time to go and get my beautiful wife from school.

Tuesday’s Musing

Well the tropical storm blew through Texas today and it has dumped a bunch of rain on us. Got a couple of showers today and only 1 was in my bathroom. But hey it is the height of hurricane season right now so we will get a few more before it is all done.

Onto my workout for today. Did shoulders and biceps today and honestly I am worn out to the point of I just want to go to bed and sleep the rest of the day (since it is raining not a bad idea). But have a few more meals to eat tonight and some time with my wife.

Shoulder workout

Machine Presses 6×12 90,110,130,150,170,190
Seated Lateral Raises 4×12 20,25,30,30
Front Raises 4×12 20,25,30,30
Machine Laterals 7×12 110

Rear Delts 4×12 25,30,30,35
Rear Pec Dec 4×12 75,95,105,125
High Cable Pulls 7×12 70

Barbell Shrugs 4×12 225,315,405,495
DB Shrugs 7×12 100

Diet is going really well and feeling a little run down though since I did a somewhat low carb day today. Did 100g of carbs only. 50g before workout and 50g after workout is all I have taken in today. Tomorrow will be even worse when I only have 50g for the day. Though it is not as bad as my mentor who does 6 days 0 carbs and one day he gets a nice cheat meal. I do 150g 5 days and 2 days at 50g so it is not so bad for me. Though it may get a little worse when I have to go to 0 carbs.

So nothing else really is going on right now. Thinking if I don’t get a job soon I may go stir crazy. But hey I am at least interviewing for jobs, but not getting anything sucks.

Chest workout

Alrighty home from chest/triceps and cardio.  Just did abs here at the apartment and they are no longer happy.  Well here is the workouts my friends.

Chest

Everything was kept pretty light to really stress the form and the muscle.  Body is starting to come along finally and starting show the hard work.  Going to layoff the Axis HT for the next 4 weeks to let my body process everything since I was on the cycle for 8 weeks.  Gotta love the stuff from BSN.  Trying to figure out what flavor of Syntha-6 I am going to try next.  Also going to finish off my thermos and then give the new Endoburn a try.

If anyone wants to know my workout regimen is based off Hany Rambod’s FST-7 (http://www.fst-7.com).  I say go to the site and check it out.
