Natty T's Bodybuilding Log

if it makes you feel better natty, I'm in the same boat (sort of). working a normal job again (with recovery from surgery) has me totally workd all the time. couldn't bring myself to go to the gym all week...hoping for friday/saturday/sunday training block.

hope your neck starts feeling better, if it's anything like back spasms it will put you on the couch faster than anything. oh, and congrats on the sleep! I'm not surprised that going off all substances for a small period would do that for ya.
 
alright guys, i'm hoping to be able to work out again by next wednesday. i'm really shooting for monday.

if this was anything but my neck i'd find things to do...

hope all is well with ya'll.

Hopefully you will be back sooner than later. Being out with an injury is tough..
 
I wish you a speedy recovery, NT!
 
thanks guys.

it's a lot better today. I'm going to hit the gym up tomorrow if it stays this good.

notable news: the draft was this weekend and my texans came away with brian cushing and connor barwin in the first two rounds :D

the texans are chill, almost as chill as DALLAS!!!!!!!
 
america's team my a$$!

but at least they don't have to deal with Al Davis as an owner...holy bad draft choices batman!
 
dallas can suck one.


alright i got in the gym today!!!

Today: Chest


Bench Press:
215 x one set of 8
185 x one set of 8
175 x one set of 8
165 x one set of 5 this was actually really hard...
155 x one set of 4
145 x one set of 4

after 175, the weight just got extremely heavy...i was kind of taxed...I wanted to rest, but i'm trying to keep my rest time under 30 seconds.

d.b. flyes
40x 8 x 1
45 x 8 x 4 sets

Cable cross overs (high)
60 x 4 sets of 4

Cable cross overs (low)
60 x 4 sets of 8

today over all was just very hard. i didn't have a big pump, but i felt weak. i'll chalk this up to bad nutrition on my unscheduled week off...
 
Good to see you back in the gym...it'll come back quick you did just have some down time. :cool:
 
It's a great feeling just to get back in the gym...Work hard bro..Sorry I was MIA, was busy all weekend....couple nights last week didnt go to the gym feel terrible for not going... but ready to hit it hard tonight...Glad you finally got some good sleep....Neck good to go???
 
congrats getting back in there, managing injuries is always challenging and a pain (literally) to deal with.

good luck with it bro!

definitely.

with things like this though, i believe in letting them heal. continuing had to the potential to make it worse.

yeah bro my chest has been injured for 3 weeks now and its soooo frustrating. I can see that it is losing size. But it still hurts so i wont mess with it! Pushups, dips, and incline bb press dont hurt it or the pain is very minor. But flys and bench hurt it pretty good if i use any amount of weight. The pain is in my armpit area of my chest. It is actually making me depressed. But i dont want to end up with a perminent injury so.....

You could have a torn pectoral muscle. I would go see a doctor. Usually its a month to 4 month rehab

lol...it's just sad that he's managed to ruin a great franchise. the raiders are deservedly one of the best franchises for merch...hell, I would wear a raiders hat but then I'd have to start wearing a spiked dog collar around my neck and spray paint everything I own silver & black (I'm originally from the bay area, it's true the raider nation can be pretty silly).

however, raiders games are awesome. you can ride rapid transit straight to the venue so you can get totally housed before going to the game and don't have to worry about driving.
 
well it started raining sometime yesterday and didn't stop untill sometime today...


i'm currently flooded in. i've been laying on the couch all day...i tried to get up and go work out but i couldn't get out of the neighborhood...same thing when i tried to go to 4 hours after it stopped raining...

hopefully it'll stay dry and i can go in the morning.

i couldn't fall asleep for anything last night. it was knd of upsetting, i was hoping the gym work would give my sleep a boost. I also have some awesome doms today. very happy about that.
 
on another note, i got called a pansy by a girl last night because i can't play football anymore...

her exact words were, "some people just aren't tough enough to play college football"

I would've slapped her. Well, maybe not cuz I don't hit women. But it would've taken a lot of self-restraint for me not to.

Pay her no mind, bro.

people like to hate...


and it was weird because 5 minutes later she told me her parents were going to be out of town this weekend and she had a hot tub...i have half a mind to go and get her all excited then walk out...
 
Oh, ok. Well in that context it sounds like maybe she was just taking a little playful jab at you. I thought she was just straight ****-talking. Any chance she perhaps has got a crush on ya, natty?
 
i'm pretty sure she was shxt talking...idk i live in houston's version of laguna beach...the girls here are all extremely stuck up, rich, and bxtchy...


i don't know that she has a real crush on me, more like a he's a big guy and that's interesting so i'll nail him type thing...

Honestly I think many girls are becoming like this regardless of where they are from. I know back home its extra bad cuz everyone is very well off financially there. Tis quite the challenge to finding the right kind of girls ha

O and lol at the last part you are probably right...

Such a gentleman! :D

I used to be like that too. Then I got my heart broken, stepped on, kicked, abused, and dragged through the dirt, and decided to have a little fun. Now I've settled again. Do your thing, buddy. I ain't mad atcha. :wave2:
 
Today: Leg Day!

  • Pre-workout Notes: I've been sleeping pretty cruddy again. I thought it was because I was sleeping all natural but I started taking my nocturnabol again and sleep quality did not improve. My sleep goes in cycles, but I was hoping I'd get to stay in the good cycle for awhile longer.

The Workout:
  • Box Squats
    1. Warm Up 135x20
    2. Warm Up #2 225x12
    3. 315 x 4 x 4 sets The reps are lower on this because box squats are a lot harder for me than regular squats. However they make regular squats a lot easier.
    4. 225 x 10 x 1
    5. 225 x 7 1/2 x1 My Legs gave out on this one. I was very happy I had a bench under me...I was about 1/2 way down and they just gave out.
  • Reverse Hack Squat
    1. 1 plate on each side x 1 set x 8 Reps
    2. 2 plates on each side x 3 sets of 10
  • Lying Leg Curls
    1. 90 lbs. x 4 sets of 10
  • Front Squats
    1. 135x one set of 8
    2. 185 x 1 set of 12
  • Calf Raises
    1. 400 lbs machine weight + 45 plate + four 35 plates x 4 sets of 12. I would have gone up, but I felt like my right calf was pushing all the weight...
    2. 400 lbs machine weight x 1 set of "21's" same basic idea as 21's for curls but calf style.

Post-Workout Notes: Today was a weird day physically...I kept getting very weak feeling. Several times I thought I was going to pass out and had to stand still and do deep breathing exercises. I've passed out while doing leg press before, it was weird...I woke up with puke down my shirt...That's an experience I'd like to avoid in the future.

if anything, after everything my heart just went through I plan on being single and girl free for a while. I don't want to even have the option to get involved and attached to someone to be there.
 
btw, to all of ya'll who have pm'ed me, i'm sorry it's taking me awhile to respond. I'm about 40 deep in unread p.m.'s

Been there too, bro, many a times. Seriously. I was single for 3 years before I met my current gf. Just do whatever makes you happy and live your life how you see fit. :)
 
Good to see you hit the workout hard man. Keep going strong I am sure you will start feeling better and getting some good sleep soon. Crazy leg sessions leave me struggling to breath too...but I haven't passed out before...or I think I haven't :eek:
 
^^^ i've not had this light headed problem without a good reason for years. I've found if i take too much stim before workout it causes it, but i've actually reduced my serving of shock therapy.



i've not been following a good diet lately so i'm hoping that's the problem. I cleaned it up a lot last night by cooking a weeks worth of chicken, rice, sweet potato's, beef, and veggies.

all good clean food today :)
