View Full Version : My dedication and strength in this life.
Animal Cuts contains L-carnitine, you may want to look in to that.
Just noticed I hit the 500 mark in your thread, sweet
Congratulations, you beat Rob. That's an accomplishment all on its own. :-P
I was talking to Machine and he was telling me about taking liquid L-carnitine before my cardio session to make it work like 3.
Didn't know if you had anymore ideas?
I thought it was just a " joke " to have a partner to lift with, right? I mean, who wants to have to wait for a fuck who in the end " forgot " to show up becuase he stayed at his high school to watch his girlfriend do her cheerleading gig?
What the fuck right?
Exactly.
I finally ...have a lifting partner...that when he's there....when he comes....he really does push me and help me do better, and I do the same for him. We push eachother enough that I finally did bench today...( ....never do that. ) and pushed up to 75lb dumbells for hammer curls...and I didn't swing at all.
This could be the start of something great.... :-P

The Artificial
Hand me your lies
Hand me my keys.
You have to give it all up
When you realize
What you’re leaving behind
I wish I was lost,
But this was an alternate destination.
Watch life flash before your eyes and
hope for the best.
Even in this well-lit room,
Where you lay down to rest
You still cast a shadow that stabs you in the back
This all began so well,
and was the longest spiral ...
….downward I’ve ever felt.
You would’ve been the death of me
if I stuck around much longer
These months of sickness felt like I
was sleeping six feet underground.
You can’t tell the difference between what’s real and not
Find the truth or you will lose yourself forever.
I know it’s not all your fault
I knew early on what I was getting myself into.
Go ahead, be my guest, work on everything that closed our door
Everything I worked so hard for.
You said you walked the line, but you’re the one falling short
Actions speak louder than words.
I can’t waste time anymore…
When you realize
What you’re leaving behind
I wish I was lost,
But this was an alternate destination.
With no plot
And no path laid out
I swear I’m not lost
I’m not lost
You were offered the world and turned it down
Shed no tear, and hope to break out on your own
I Refuse to call this place home.
SOME OF YOU want to know what the hell is going on in my head...so let me give you a start up..

ill walk a mile in your shoes... if you want to trade. :)
ill walk a mile in your shoes... if you want to trade. :)
If you give me your guns, it's a done deal.
If you give me your guns, it's a done deal.
hahahahaha noooooooooooooo way!
hahahahaha noooooooooooooo way!
I seriously dream of shit like that....the screaming...death...everything, it's been weird the past couple of months.
Maybe it's a sign or something.
Die
Thoughts replaced by a placid romance
Without movement, i can't escape
Die
Searching through the static
Twisted and torn inside of
Such blinding visions of destruction
So i have to question
Was this in the master plan?
Now a broken future's all that we hold
Broken
Our broken futre is all that we hold
Our day draws
To it's close
Dusk
Washes away
Integrity now bleeds away
As tired hearts are left to drain
Do you see there faces when you fall asleep at night?
Now they're nothing more than blood stained memories
Blood stained memories

Everyone comes in here and talks about these super big lifts, and amazing workouts which are great all around and I give Kudos out to everyone who has " a " good workout.
So here I will post my workouts outside of the gym. This " work " that I speak of is the new job that I got that I think some of you would hate to have, but some would love. I work for the Wal-Mart Distribution Center 7024 in IL as an order-filler. Let me give you an idea as to what I do all day long.
I am a certified/liscenced PE operator who during operation hauls 2 pallets which will be created by me. I am on a Talkman™ radio interface service that tells me where to go and what to pick, and how many. I then respond to the headset telling it the amount it told me to pick. This item could weigh any where from 1lb up to 115lbs. During my day I pull over 16 pallets figuring up 70cu. a piece, not including the small 5-10cu. trips. I am allotted 26 minutes for a 70cu. trip which in " real " time should take a person about 40, but to pull rate I must pull under 26 minutes. I bust ass every day working at my job and pull easily over 12,000lbs a day. Now that you have that number in your head, multiply that by 3 days in a row from 3 in the morning, until 3 in the afternoon. That is what I work, and that is my workout. If you do the math correctly you will come up with a somewhat correct sum of over 1,728,000. That's right, that is one million, and yes I did the math and checked it three times.
I'm having a hard time incorperating my workouts into this other workout that has started, because of the heavy lifting my body is torn for those three days in a row, and it's hard to find the energy to lift. Sure some hardass is going to come on here and say he does the exact same thing that I do, which could be true, and then go on about how I'm being a pussy and should just go lift anyway. What I'm saying isn't that I don't, what I'm saying is that it's hard to find the time or energy to produce a good workout outside of " work. " I'm sure there are some people on here that pull the same weight I do...and that's not even including my second job and me being a full-time student. So sure your plate is full...but I'm pulling my own weight.

SO uh, who the fuck rated this thread as shitty?
I been wondering how you've been, bro. Hope your new job is working your ass off and you're learning that the most important muscle is in the one between your ears, blood.
Keep hitting it harder than ever before...

You all stare down at me like I don't know who I am or who I want to be. I know what I need to know, and with that knowledge I'll take myself farther than you.
Just wait ...for now you've became my enemy, and I will crush you.

Every day we're put on the spot to make the choice. The choice to do this, or do that. Which way do you go every day? What way is the best?
Who knows?
Isn't that what life is all about...not knowing what the outcome of your decision will be? I guess that is where boys turn to men and grow within their life experiences...
This is one decision that I've made and I'll keep with me my entire life, and it's something that I won't give up on. I don't care if you don't like what I do, or if you think I shouldn't do it. I will do it and I'll become something that you thought could never happen.
I will be standing there infront of you....not with you, but infront of you. I will put you in your place, so begin to like where you're at, because you aren't going anywhere fast.
If only the mirror would object

Underestimated, held back by your words you choose so wisely; once more I stand above the norm. I am in it for the win, I don't know what you're here for...but if it happens to be the same thing, you're in for one hell of a challenge. I don't quit, I do fall, but quitting is not an option and I will forever be those steps ahead of you.
The lights will shine, and they won't see you.

Lunges 98x4sets@15
Ham curls 4 sets at 12 reps all sets pause for 5.
Quad extentions 4 sets at 12 reps all sets pause for 5.
Calf raises (with a board) 555 x 4 sets @ 20 reps. burnout at 225 for 35 slow and paused for 2. Cramped up halfway through, but got back in it to finish up the last 12.
Then did some obliques and abs...and let me tell you ...I'm having some hellacious lower ab growth.
Currently sitting down, and loving every second of it. Hahaha.
Oh shit, almost forgot.
Gluteal exercize - 90 x 4 x 12 (Like how a horse kicks back...same thing...great for the ass )
Thats about it...total protein intake for yesterday was 528g and carb intake was at 225, Exact.
Get it, Preston.
Man you know I bust ass every day to get that shit and more. Damn son, when is that road-trip gonna happen?

I'm changing, you're changing...and most of all the change that we're both under-going is separating us from each other.
What do I have to do to keep you by my side? Must I get on my knee's and beg for you to stay with me and keep me strong? I'll do what it takes to keep that support that I've always wanted, and do have, to stay there.
I simply can't do this alone, and I'm not talking about the weights and bodybuilding..I'm talking about life, my love. Don't leave me alone in this scary place...I'm just one man and there are way more of me out there, and we're both must stronger in two.
I should have paid more attention to you, I would if I were given a second chance...and in this world there are only a lucky few that get those. I'll live with my mistakes and know that I could have done better, could have been more to you.
I will always love you Ashley.

At my age some things just don't make sense...but I, being the person I am, tend to jump into things with both feet soaking wet.
I wouldn't take life any other way, because I believe that once you're done with life's challenges...you've stopped living it.
So bring it on, and let me surpass, because I'll never take anything less than perfection upon completion.
Next step in this horrible melodramatic comedy called life; moving out. :) :) :) :) :) !!!!!

MRI RIGHT SHOULDER WITHOUT CONTRAST, 05/12/2008
Indication: Pain since a bench lifting injury. Rule out a tear of the tendon of the long head of the biceps muscle.
Technical Factors: The right shoulder was imaged in the axial, sagittal and coronal planes with T1, proton density and T2-weighted sequences. The study was performed with a 1.5 Tesla scanner. No intravenous contrast was administered.
Findings: There is mild distention of the acromioclavicular joint, which has mild adjacent edema. There is a tiny degerative subcortical cyst within the lateral end of the clavicle. A small glenohumeral joint effusion is present. The rotator cuff appears intact without significant tendinitis or a tear. The biceps tendons appear intact. There appears to be a tear of the anterior inferior labrum with a small adjacent cyst. A Type I/II anterior capsular insertion is present.
IMPRESSION:
1. Findings are consistent with a recent speration injury of the aromioclavicular joint.
2. The rotator cuff appears intact without a significant partial or full thickness tear.
3. Suspect a tear of the anterior inferior labrum.
4. Small glenohumeral joint effusion.
-END OF REPORT-
Richard “Dick” Odell had learned early on in life that material possessions matter little and that family comes first. He was caring and sensitive, and a good listener who uplifted everyone who came to him with words of encouragement. Dick was a proud, hardworking man with a deep commitment to his family. His love for his children and grandchildren was always evident and he found great joy in them.
Though the 1920s roared with jazz and flappers, many people were largely removed from the glitz and glamour associated with these times. This was particularly true for families living in the Midwest, who made their livelihood by cultivating the land. Bernard and Lucille (Clifford) Odell were among these families; they managed their family fruit and dairy farm in Gobles, Michigan. On March 7, 1929, the couple was overjoyed with the birth of their only child, a son they named Richard Lou Odell.
Richard, or Dick as he was called, developed a strong work ethic at an early age, working side by side with his father on their farm. He even delivered milk when he was old enough to drive. His parents also made sure he got his education, and he attended the one-room schoolhouse in Gobles and graduated from Otsego High School in 1947. When he was younger, Dick liked to go roller-skating at the local rink for some fun.
Dick was married as a young adult and had six wonderful children: Terry, Tom, Teresa, Tracy, Tod and Tammy. He loved his children dearly and they brought his life so much joy. This marriage, however, did not last and he was divorced in the late 1970s. But Dick found love again in late 1981, when he went on a double date with his close friends and met Theresaleen “Terry” Heflin for the first time. They both felt a connection to each other right away, and after dating for only 2 weeks, their hearts were like one. Terry adoringly said, “Dick was a tremendous listener and was easy to talk to. Many who knew him felt that.” Eight months later, Dick and Terry were happily married at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Paw Paw on July 31, 1982.
Besides being a devoted father and husband, Dick worked for many years as a highly skilled Heavy Equipment Operator for the Van Buren County Road Commission. After retiring, he and Terry enjoyed escaping the Michigan winters for the warm sunshine in Webster, Florida for about 5 years. Here, Dick took great pride in his “very polished” golf cart, complete with the Mack truck bulldog insignia. But that was one of Dick’s areas of expertise – he kept everything from cars to equipment in flawless shape and fully buffed with the brightest wax job he could, including his riding mower. The couple also enjoyed camping at the Golf Lake campgrounds in Marcellus as well as at Leisure Valley campgrounds in Lawrence.
When he was home, Dick liked to spend time outdoors in his inspired vegetable garden or watch the Travel Channel, some sporting events or NASCAR on TV. What made Dick the happiest though was spending precious time with his children and grandchildren, whom he loved dearly. Sadly, he lost his parents when they were both relatively young (in their 50s). Dick was the kindest, most caring man who tried each day to share his happiness with his loved ones. He will be greatly missed and frequently remembered.
Richard Lou Odell died on Friday, May 23, 2008, at his residence with his family at his side. He was preceded in death by his parents. Dick is survived by his wife of 25 years, Theresaleen “Terry” Heflin; 6 children: Terry (Janet) Odell of Gobles, Tom (Beverly) Odell of Wyanet, IL, Teresa (Gene) Dillenbeck of Kalamazoo, Tracy (Mary) Odell of Greenwood, AR, Tod (Linda) Odell of Bloomingdale, Tammy (Max) Thompson of Sheffield, IL, 12 grandchildren: Kimberly (Chuck) Lambert, Curtis (Jessica) Odell, Kip (Mychelle) Odell, Tad (Mindi) Odell, Aubrey (Dereck) McPherson, Preston Thompson, Janice (Andy) Ciborski, Joshua (Julie) Odell, Tim Dillenbeck, Andy Dillenbeck, Frances Odell, Katie Odell; 8 great-grandchildren: Caleb Lambert, Alyssa Lambert, Jake Lambert, Anna Lambert, Curtis Ciborski and Chayse Ciborski, Joshua Odell, Jr. and Cade Odell.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, May 30, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church with Fr. Robert Creagan, celebrant. A luncheon will follow at the church followed by private burial of cremated remains at Mallory Cemetery in Allegan. A second service will be held on Saturday, May 31, at 11:00 a.m. at Bloomingdale Christian Church with his grandson, Pastor Josh Odell, officiating with a luncheon following.
Peace be with you Grandpa, be seeing you in the future. :)
At this point in my life I've seen many family members pass away, friends parents' pass away, and close friends, too. But never have I once felt so horrible as today when I shot my first let's just call it a "thing."
This "thing" was perched on the top of a bird bath, fighting away all the birds from their bathing. At first I thought nothing of it until I saw the birds fighting this "thing" and that was when I realized it was going for their eggs. I wasn't going to let that happen, so I figured I would just piss it off a bit and shoot it in the butt. My aim was straight, my bb perfectly round, and my weapon ready to fire. I went to take the shot, and that was when the "thing" turned around and I shot. I shot and my bb went flying through the air and shot this "thing" directly in the face. I never have seen an animal jump up so high when shot, ( with the exception of deer ) and that was when it hit me. Men...are evil, oh no, not just men. Why don't we look at this as a reflection of the selflessness that is right infront of our eyes. You may see this as a childish act, and some may call me some profanity, but I see it as the truth. Truth enlies in the hearts and souls of the men that walk this earth, and I now see what I read as truth. Men (people) are evil, and until there is no longer man (people) there will always be hate, violence, wars, and wounded "things," that lay dormant on the ground dripping blood from its mouth like rain hitting the ground.
I am ashamed.

Its because of man there is war and there will be no peace. There was once peace before the fruit. . . and if there were no fruit we'd all be walking around naked.
while the dinosaurs roamed the earth, there was war. while aliens roam the space, there is war... Man is not the only cause of war. Look at the Animal Kingdom. there is war there as well.
what you stopped was part of a war, that animal was trying to take over the eggs from the defenseless birds, and you helped.

Oh but you must agree, man is evil. You know it!
Well, not Subway at least, but something more substantial. I'm looking to surpass my previous goal, which was reached with ease. I had a call from Machine - Yes, he called me - about 5 months ago, and it has finally hit me. I've realized that all the things that he said were indeed totally true. I'm my own master of design, and I am the only one who has my life in my own hands. I've let myself down and I've let others down in the process. I've been living a lie for the past year, and must admit that I'm not what I could be - what I should be.
This is me getting back to my roots and what I loved to do - what I need to do. Once I started gaining the weight back, I personally saw muscle...I saw purposeful weight gain. It only took me about 3-4 months to pack on 20 lbs. I still had abs, veins through my abs, and veins everywhere else. It was nice...but wasn't enough. I started to increase my cheat meal to a cheat "day," which I would just free-load all day long on whatever shit I wanted to eat.
This point was when I heaved over the 200lb mark. At that moment I felt sick, felt something wrong - I had been 145lbs (shredded) for almost 4-5 months...which was the first time in my own personal life where I've actually felt some sort of self-worth. I lost everything I worked for DUE TO MY OWN MISTAKES .
I'm looking to get the Preston I liked back, the Preston I need back. I miss the way I could hold myself - with shoulders back, chest out ( knowing that my belly isn't sticking out further is always great ) - with a sense of pride knowing what I've done was actually worth doing.
My name is Preston Thompson - fat and sober.
Weight - 240
Height - 5'8
Age - 20
I could care less about being " HUGE and SWOLL, " I just want to be skinny and shredded again.
lets kick this shit up a notch.. tear it all down brother.

Good luck bro!
Thanks MPMass - read from the beginning, I don't sound like such a bitch then. :-P
Here is the diet I followed previously to get down to 145, so I plan to use it again.
* These are daily averages.
Protein : 245
Carbs : 100
Fats : ~10
I'll be rotating my carbs on a 100 daily bias, therefore allowing myself to spike on wednesday and fall back Friday, leaving myself with my "DZ S&S" days ( Double Zero Sat/Sun NO CARB days ).
I'm one of those people that when I say that I'm going to stop doing something, I stop. When I say I'm going to start something, I jump in with both two feet (sometimes screws me over). I think this one is definitley for the better. I'm also joining a new gym...which I'm kind of indifferent about. I preferred the previous gyms' dumbells over the new gyms' setup, but I'm not really one to complain considering the fact that they actually have a T-Bar Row !!!! I'm so stoked about that part...but not so stoked about the 21+ changing room where all the old men walk around naked talking politics and discussing foreign trade policies.
I think I'll manage.
Liquid L-Carnitine is something everyone should take ( only certain times though. )
Liquid L-Carnitine is today's "Secret Weapon."
I've given viable reason after bullshit reason as to why my ass hasn't been in the gym. I think it's great how a person can change you - but at the same time; loving how weak I am for letting myself fall so low.
Today was the first day back in the gym within the past....about 7-8 months. Just to give you a re-cap.
I used to be able to shoulder shrug 575
I used to be able to chest fly 75lb DB's
I used to be able to decline a sit up w/ a plate on my chest.
I was where I wanted to be - fit, healthy, and gaining muscle.
All of that has went to shit. Me and my ( now ex ) girlfriend were going through some rough times and I decided to call it quits. Call me a quitter - call me someone who doesn't care. I didn this now before it got too deep and then neither of us could get out. I was holding myself back and her - so I had to let us go.
In saying that; I'm getting back to me - I'm finding the fire, passion and desire that I once had to get to where I wanted to be. I will turn this spite and hate for my decision into fuel that will help me re-kindle this flame. I'm about 263 lbs and trying to get back to my prime diet weight.
I used to be over-weight ( like I am now; again ) and then I got really fit and had veins running through my abs. I then decided to bulk...stupid idea. I gained WAY too fast but in my head thought it was reasonable. lol Well that really fucked me over - so then I got used to eating all that food and kept eating and kept eating.
THEN I fell into an even deeper rut and I tore my clavicle and had sub-cortical cysts in my right shoulder and was told that I'll "forever" have chronic pain in my shoulder. With that being told to me - I automatically thought - get the fuck out of this gym before you actually end up hurting yourself. I then spent the next 6 months eating my face full of nasty fast food ( ....i love it ) which packed on some AWESOME pounds.
Tell you what - I'm some kind of story. I guess I turned into a bit of a pussy and now I need to basically man up an quit giving myself reasons as to why I "can't" do this or that. I constantly have this image in my head of what I want - and before I could get there. I'm currently having trouble fighting my own demons in my crazy brain - but I have a feeling I'm going to come out on top.
I'm going to ( try to everyday ) post my feelings here and what exactly is going on throughout my brain. I never did this before....and I think this will be a great place to vent.
I'm not asking for any replies - I'm not asking to get followers....the last thing I need is a few sheep to keep track of.
This will be a new turning point in my life...that is going to really be pertinent within my everyday life. This is me - Preston Thompson - my brain, my feelings, my life - uncensored.

There's something about rolling up to an accident - knowing that you're that person's only way out - and you know how to save them. Of course they're scared out of their mind, not fully trusting your knowledge in whatever it is you're going to do, but having blind faith that you're their and you're going to get them out of their situation.
It was this morning when I realized what my purpose is.
First comes first - there is a page.
"Bue-Comm to Sheffield Rescue : Sheffield Rescue - you're needed for a vehicle roll-over on I-80 mile marker 51 on east bound route. Patient is still responding - is trapped - and cannot feel anything from his neck down. Sheffield Rescue - extrication is needed - this is an all-call page."
I went on that call on I-80 that runs straight through the heart of Illinois - which is also the busiest - and most wreck-prone area within this state. We have more accidents on this stretch of the interstate than Chicago has with I-55 North ( lol ).
So I run my lights, get going - hit the station - get my gear on ( in 43 seconds mind you ) hop in the truck and we're out the door in less than 3. On our way there we're dressing for battle. We are preparing for a war that we deal with day in - day out. I get on my flash gear, I get on my extrication gloves - I put on my helmet and I'm prepared for the battle.
We hit the scene, exit the vehicle, and observe the destruction. It's pretty amazing as to what a wreck looks like in person than compared on those videos you watch when you go through your drivers training program. A wreck up close - looks like a horribly realistic picture that is forever etched in your brain. You see the victim - you see his/her vehicle - and you notice whatever isn't "in" the vehicle that should be. I've seen 2 people ejected from vehicles, and I'll be the first to tell you that it's hardest to see the look on the drivers face when their notified that their baby girl who was just simply trying to sleep - so they take off their seatbelt - is now laying dead on the road, currently being spider strapped to a backboard.
The vehicle is turned on its roof, the roof is somewhere between 5 to 9 inches crunched down onto the victim, and his rear axle is completely ripped back off of his vehicle. This little Honda Accord didn't eve know what hit them. We address the patients current status - cant' feel anything below his neck and is entrapped within the vehicle. We then begin covering the victim in a flash/fire retardant dress so when we brace the vehicle and begin cutting off his roof - he doesn't burn or receive back flash from the saw. We saw off a portion of the roof and then begin to pull it back with the J.O.L ( Jaws of Life ). It was at this time we noticed that he had moved in a bad position as to when we adjusted the vehicle with our bags. The seat belt was choking the victim - which was the point when my fire buddy cut off his belt and slowly let him fall down on to the bottom of the ground - which we then moved him onto a stretcher and began spider strapping him.
A mission successful. My day job - my volunteer service - Fire Fighter. They call us the most selfless people with one of the strongest mentalities. We go into situations where others are running out - we put ourselves in dangers way to save the life of another - many of the times we don't even know. I live my life in this code of ethic - this code of honor. I live my life for helping another who cannot help themselves.
I lift - not for physical beauty - but for the speed, agility, and strength to help another. Each rep turns into a cry, each curl turns into a scream, and each press turns into an un reachable hand. I will be the strongest - and I will be the best till the day my maker comes to take me from this life. I will not fail - I cannot fail. I will save every life that's in danger, I cannot fail them - for failing them is failing myself. I know that some may not live, and I know that I cannot make that decision. I was given the choice by my maker to make the choice to save a life - and until he chooses their path for them - I'm there to take over his place.
Glad to have you back, Preston.
Good to be back....real good.
