[AE14]

had a nice back and cardio day. I changed back up a bit and worked it as 2 exercises at a time in superset fashion, just for something different

front pulldowns (5 sets) 210lbs
back extensions (5 sets) 150lbs

NG BTB pulldowns (5 sets) 150lbs
barn doors (5 sets) *done with rope 60lbs

seated machine rows (5 sets) 185lbs
cobra pulldowns (5 sets) 150lbs

cardio
40 minutes 15% 4.6-5.5mph

hell of a pump, and felt great.

 

[dsade]

Barn doors...never seen them referred to as that. Good call.

 

[AE14]

thanks man, I like that name, makes me know what I am trying to accomplish

 

[AE14]

some morning cardio

luckily the girl who opened came in early

45 minutes 15% 4.5-5.0mph

 

[crader]

I need a treadmill here so I can do morning cardio. I would like myself so much better if I could do the things I know that I'm capable of to achieve the body I want.

I also think that the exercise in the am would help with the chronic fatigue issues setting in. How is your stomach?

[AE14]

a bit of evening cardio

40 minutes 15% 4.5-5.5mph

Do have to say that since going back on the GH I am having the same issue I had previously, where I cannot go to the bathroom. Not even so much as an urge at this point. Right now been since sunday

 

[crader]

Thats odd. I don't have that happen to me. However I eat a double protein fiber bread most days. Well and the old ephedra..it always keeps you regular

 

[AE14]

I am going to have to get my hands on some Ephedra, as this drives me crazy.

 

[crader]

LOL go get some at Walgreens or CVS. Its only $10 there.

 

[AE14]

will do, I will need some extra help

did a little am cardio hoping that will move things along

37 minutes 15% 4.5-5.5mph

How's your CNS doing? I know if I do that kind of sustained cardio for too long I go into burnout. Are you taking Reset AD?

 

[AE14]

no reset. I feel great, no burn out whatsoever. Cant really explain it.

 

[AE14]

shoulders:
Seated DB press (8 sets) 85lbs
BTN press (5 sets) 135lbs
reverse peck deck (5 sets) 90lbs
db laterals (12 sets) 35,25,15lbs 4 giant sets

Cardio:
35 minutes 15% 5.0-5.5mph

Stomach feels better, basically had a party for myself for using the bathroom. Funny enough, I just picked up my daughter from school, and had some gas, that she actually got made at me in the car for the smell. I love her response at this age

 

[crader]

LOL glad you feel better!

 

[AE14]

thanks, thought it would add a little color to the conversation

 

[AE14]

morning cardio

40 minutes 15% 4.5-5.5

 

[AE14]

nice back workout today

weighted chins (5 sets) 25lbs
cobra pulldowns (5 sets) 130lbs
tbar rows (5 sets) 3 45's
barn doors (5 sets) 90lbs
seated cable rows (5 sets) 185lbs

[dsade]

Cobra pulldowns?

 

[AE14]

Cobra pulldowns?

Victor Martinez is a big proponent of them.

Basically in a cross over cables station, put them up as high as they good. Take each handle into the middle with you, and get on your knees. Your arms should be extended out at this point. Pull in with your elbows to your waist. Really gets a nice stretch out of the lats. Good for every couple of back workouts

 

[AE14]

a little am cardio

40 minutes 15% 4.6-5.5

felt good, back on the "no poop" wagon. Oh well, I guess it saves time

Not sure if I am going to have to double up on the GH based on some home stress, as my ridiculous soon to be ex has decided that even though she has not been a consistent parent, and has taken abouyt 12 weekends off over the last 1.5 years, she wants custody and child support. We were trying to work this through a mediator to deal with expenses, but she refuses to see that he short temper with out daughter and her financial instability are not the best environment for her. I tried to make the situation the most ammeanable for her financially, offering to cover the legal costs, give her that car with no payment, not asking for child support, but she wants it all. With her current issues, I dont think she realizes this will not bode well for her

 

[crader]

Thats too bad. I'm not sure doubling up on it will help but you can give it a go.

There is nothing harder than divorce with kids involved. Hopefully it will all work out. I would start gathering statements from people on her interactiond with your daughter as well as whoever has her during the seperation is most likely to get custody. The judge told me they don't like to disrupt the kids lives.

 

[AE14]

sadly we are stuck living in the same house for finanacial concerns. She is not on the mortgage due to credit issues, but wants me to move out :rofl: I have started to speak with the one person she talks to and complains to all the time: my sister. We spoke this am, and it does not look good for my ex. In essence she has complained almost every morning about my daughters attitude (at 5 1/2) and also what she wants to wear. Go figure

 

[AE14]

had a ncie arm workout without extra cardio

Hammer curls (5 sets) 40lbs

[crader]

What supplements are you using with this? Any that might mess the system up?

 

[AE14]

right now just swell, ON gold standard with extra glutamine. I was going to ask if maybe I should add something in with my shake in addition to the extra glutamine, something that might help loosen the situation?

Just got back from a real nice shoulder workout

BRRRR are you doing this outside? You are crazy if you are. If there is one thing I hate its being cold.
