THE Success Story - CT's rise to stardom

[SilentBob187]

Wound up talking about Tiffany? Wow, must have been a pretty 'out there' conversation.

 

[crader]

Sounds like a fun day! We took the kids to Cedar Point and walked from 9am to 10 pm. My legs hurt, lol and tonight is leg day!

 

[subweevil]

Nice to see your having fun and getting dialed in. Good deal!!

Ha, I was on the ice a couple weekends ago for the first time in a couple months and my feet were in an unbelievable amount of pain, I was just running a hockey camp so I didn't have to do much skating. If I would've I'm sure I would still be sore

Day 12​

Summary
Yesterday was another good day! I had a bunch of laundry to get accomplished and I got to play in some pickup hockey games again. We ended up playing 3 games and my team won all 3. We actually ran away with the second game and won 7-2, haha. I played hard and I played well...so I was happy. Sadly, I took a few shots and slashes to my ankles and today my legs are killing me. I will be taking it easy today...probably bodyweight stuff or something like that.

Also did a full session of yoga last night with my gf once I got home and settled. She is trying to get back in shape after having the boys and her muscles are very weak from the whole ordeal...so she is getting discouraged, which is sad for me to see. I am trying to motivate her and keep her happy through it....so I guess we'll see if i'm any good at my "job", haha

yeah we weren't playing on ice...but still, haha. enough time in a parking lot with a little red ball and no pads...you're gonna feel it :happysad:

 

[subweevil]

no pads...you're gonna feel it

Wimp!!:toofunny:

 

[CTDeuce]

Wimp!!:toofunny:

was that an invitation for me to drive to State College and play some no pads hockey with you jokers? :147:

 

[subweevil]

Haha, just throwin' some motivation your way man, I kid!! In all honesty, no pads sounds kinda fun. Workouts are looking awesome, I'm jealous!! Keep her motivated man, once she sees results, it'll pick up speed. The little ones look cool.

 

[crader]

I have faith in you. You can keep her motivated and keep her spirits up. It takes time and the babies are not that old. After all it took her 9 months to get that way

I'm glad you are getting in the hockey, tennis, etc... you sound so much happier!

I ended up doing some light bodyweight stuff and then I heeded my gf's urges and did some pilates with her. Some of that stuff was actually pretty intense for the trunk/core region....I was shocked!

I think I over-ate today...and i'm not sure why. I had 7 meals though...which is intense. maybe because I was up from 6am til around 1am, haha.

[subweevil]

Yeah, some of the pilates stuff caught me off guard as well, but I've learned my lesson. Now it's fun listening to other people say it isn't that hard, then watching them fail miserably at trying to do it, since it's "Just body weight." Then again, I have a wry sense of humor. Nice updates man, glad to see your enjoying this, after all, that's what it's about!!

Thanks for the insight brother, I totally agree. I've had a ton of people laugh at me when I tell them that yoga will make them stronger than their bench numbers.....and then once they try it out, they tell me how dumb THEY are . Same concept. Its all about your body using muscles you don't normally use to do activities you don't normally do

Very true. Yoga is a great...it helps you find that connection between body and mind. BTW...just dropping by again to say hi and check up on ya papa Deuce! Hope all is going well. Also...Rosie says hi. She's here with me now.

Cheers to ya Papa Deuce!:cheers:

 

[Big Poppa S]

THIS!!!

Although it doesn't have to be yoga or pilates or any specific "style" of training. It's all about keeping your body/muscles guessing with numerous different types of activities!

you're totally right. Thats the way I try to keep positive results...I change things up often. My cardio rarely comes from "going for a run". Sometimes it's high rep KB swings, sometimes it's tennis, sometimes it's hockey, sometimes I run sprint patterns...etc

 

[jdg487]

hey CT, what is MST MycoGreen and why haven't I heard of it?? lol

 

[crader]

Ahhh cardio, I unfortunately have a road block in my head that refuses to count my training as cardio, even plyo days. So unless I'm actually doing treadmill, running, etc.. I feel like I have not done it.

 

[CTDeuce]

Oh trust me....if you came and played hockey with us or played tennis with me....you would NOT need any added cardio

[CTDeuce]

Yeah its been fun. Its not really something that we shared much before so it's cool that we are getting to now. She has always been a running type of girl and didnt bother with other facets of fitness and it seems like she really wants to change that and she's taking an interest in something I love....which is huge to me

 

[subweevil]

Glad to hear things are going well for you both, you guys deserve it!!

Sunday Weigh In!!!

Well...today was not a huge victory for team Deuce. I am the EXACT same weight as last sunday ringing in at 240.8 lbs

I am officially tinkering with the amounts of food I am taking in and will push for hard results this coming week.

 

[CTDeuce]

I SUCK at updating huh? Sorry about that everyone.

Sunday - Played 1 hour tennis in the 90+ degree weather. It was super hot and I would have played longer if I (or my partner) didn't fatigue so quickly from the heat. Ate clean all day.

Monday - Off day, and cheat meal. My gf wanted to go to Chile's so I had some chicken quesadilla's with salsa and sour cream and a margarita. It was tasty....but I instantly regretted it.

Tuesday - I am going to add the food into fitday.com to get an accurate count of everything so I know where i'm going wrong as soon as I get a free minute. Here is the session.

24kg Kettlebell Swing
10 reps x 4 sets
24kg Kettlebell Power Clean + Push Press (one arm long cycle)
6 reps x 4 sets - left arm
6 reps x 4 sets - right arm
24kg Kettlebell Power Snatch
6 reps x 2 sets - left arm
6 reps x 2 sets - right arm
Muscle Snatch
6 reps x 4 sets x bar
Renegade DMC Work
16 holds x 30 seconds ea.

Luckily for us, your good at working out, and that's what this log is about.

 

[crader]

We love you anyway!

 

[CTDeuce]

Yesterday I had a real short session because the boys woke up in hunger. I was really enjoying it though and I am going to pick up where I left off in the next few days here. I had these two supersetted.

BB Deadlift
6 reps x 1 set x 155lbs
6 reps x 1 set x 170lbs
6 reps x 1 set x 190lbs
6 reps x 1 set x 200lbs
10lb MedBall Scoop Back
4 sets x 6 reps



Also in other news, I will be starting another log soon that I will run alongside this one (probably just copy and paste) because I will be logging Lipotropic protein and E-911 for Lg Sciences in a "traders log". I traded for those 2 products and in return CraigMatthew will be running a log for Cre-02

Cool, glad ot see everything is going well bud!! Have an awesome weekend!!

 

[Big Poppa S]

It's great that you're helping your girl get back into it. My girlfriend and I had worked out together for years (not that we lift together but we always went to the gym at the same time), recently though, she moved to a more female-friendly gym, so we haven't been working out together at all. We're going to start doing cardio together in the mornings as we're both too tired after work to lift and do cardio, she actually wants to take over responsibility for my cardiovascular training.... we'll see how this goes..... :afro:

have you guys tried doing any yoga or static stretching together? I'm telling you, it's a great way to relax and also to connect with her.

 

[CTDeuce]

[CTDeuce]

Yesterday I did some good ol DMC work with the lady and did a bunch of chores and such that needed to get accomplished. No weight workout yesterday, but I plan to get one in today for sure.

things are well, thanks for asking pal!

Sorry for no updates everyone....aside from being real busy, I had a minor injury last week that set me back a bit. I've been doing a lot of stretching and BW type stuff....but no weights. I plan to hit weights again either today or tomorrow to see how I feel. Updates will follow..
