Attitude for a Chest Workout

It feels good, you know, "that" type of good... the kind that is more a release than a gain. I do the 9 to 5 and head home late, working does that... add in the web thing http://www.gdyer.com and I feel beat at about 8:00 pm. I don't mean the "oh what a day" type of beat, I mean the "I just want to lay here and not move" type. Two doses of the ol' Hydroxycuts hardcore puts all that shit to rest, 10:00 pm hits and I'm pushing my whip all the way to Gold's Gym for some friggin relief. Meeting friends, busting balls and talking trash, bah that's just bonus, I grab the iron and it's as if I just woke up. It's on.

May not seem like much but I crushed it; I feel good sitting here typing this and sipping on my protein shake. Some jackass cut me off on the way to the gym and it was the wrong thing to do, never cross a workaholic who's hopped up on ephedryne and Black empowerment CDs. Poor guy got an earful of horn and the middle finger, I'm not proud of it but it shows you how hungry I am when I'm on my way to the lab.... stay the hell out of my way. I feel swollen, damn this feels good, tomorrow I'm getting up early to run, who needs sleep right?

Return of The Dragon

I was ashamed... chagrined... weak... and it was all due to my lack of focus along the road. Lengthy nights of web designing and other things kept me from the gym days at a time. What was even worse than that was the diet... daily Steak and Cheese sandwiches from Subway coupled with a double shot of oatmeal cookies had my gut actually hanging over my belt.

That was a month ago, but I regained the path... I am back, the diet is good, the training is consistent and the martial arts are back in my life.

It feels good.

Pain and Solo Shoulders - Tuesday

Recently I've been feeling like complete garbage: My right leg twitches sometimes and gets a numbing feeling as if I am not getting enough circulation in it. There have been nights when it has kept me up and at a LAN party last week I laid down clenched in pain for about 15 minutes from it. One thing I've noticed however is that it goes away whenever I am actively doing martial arts or running (yes odd I know). so add this in with the forearm pain I get from curling and my lack of energy daily and you get one sorry S.o.B.

In an effort to overcome my issues, I've decided to go harder at the gym. Pulling up monster weight to overcome the forearm pain, Squatting heavy and running daily to keep the twitch down andd going more days during the week to stifle the lack of energy. I will also be picking up some multi-vitamin to supplement my eating.

I chalk it up to age, athletes detiorate physically when they stop and I am beginning to see it whenever I get lazy. Anyway on to the routine:

Heavy Chest - April, 2

Well I had a week's hiatus to get used to a new job and also to build "Kyleen" - my Dual Core AMD Athlon 4400 powered beast.
