...With the New Year, comes new beginnings. It's seems as though 2008 was a wake up call which shook my foundation to the very core. Sometimes it is benificial to hit rock bottom. For when you have nothing, it will clearly show you where your priorties lie.

With 2009 comes new priorties (or rather clearly defined ones), a new gym, and a new journey.

Thus, the Road to Redemption begins...


...Strength and Honor...

...Yeah I know that Monday is International Chest day, but one must be loyal to the Priority Principle. I switched gyms so that I may train in the morning to get five full days of training in.

At the moment it is the newest and largest World's Gym in the United States. If they are so proud of themselves, why did they have to paint the walls light purple? But I am getting off track.

Incline Barbell Bench (5 Sets)
Flat Dumbell Bench (5 Sets)
Pec Deck (5 Sets)
Decline Sit-ups (5 Sets)

Carido
Eliptical (15 min)
Track (15 min)

For the moment I am training with my brother, who is looking to travel down his own Road of Redemption. Nothing seems to motivate like a sibling pissing contest.

...There was a local news crew there this morning featuring the Subway guy, Jared. That means that everyone and there cousin was there to "be on tv". My Brother and I started out on the Leg Press, until the manager walked over and asked us to work out in the camera scene because he wanted some "big guys". (yeah right).

Leg Press X 2
Squat x 8 (295 x 4 last set)
Leg Press x 3
SLDL x 5
Smith Machine Calf Raises x 5 (315 x 6 last set)

The Leg Press there has no adjustable back rest, as NWAC does. Therefore instead of being at a 90 degree angle, your more at a 110-115. So instead of 6 PPS I had to stick with 5 and a quarter. At least the areobic step didn't budge when I loaded 315 on the smith, I used to break about one a month at NWAC...

...This is the first exclusive Shoulder day I have done in almost a year. Which is not to say that I have totally neglected them. Rather, by means of necessity I took Tiny's approach, putting the front and Middle Delts in with Chest and the Rear Delts and Traps in with Back. To me, however, it just never felt right. It was like I was cheating myself, after all Cannon Ball delts are mearly one of the benefits...

Seated Arnold Press x 5 (50 x 6 last set)
Seated Bent Over Lat Raises x 5
Standing Side Lat Raises x 5
Barbell Shrugs x 5 [235 x 10 last set(working on grip strength)]
Superset

Decline Sit-ups x 3

I personally enjoy doing shoulders alone. And hitting front rear and side delts together, Im a big fan of not being able to lift my arms, maybe thats just me, but i like that feeling. I have found my best advances have been taking one group and doing only that group.

...Apparently it is not going to get above freezing till Saturday here in Hillbilly Country. Already some have begun to peel from the ranks, as the parking lot is half as full when I pull in at 5:05...Too Bad...

CG Pull Down x 5 (Was supposed to include 3 sets of CG pull-ups but even a half parking lot keeps both Cable Stations occupied)
Rack Pulls x 5 (335 x 7 last set)
Alt. DB Rows x 5 (70 x 8 last set)
WG Cable Rows x 5 (Stack x 10 last set)

One good thing I can say about this gym is that the half-cages have bars that are adjustable down to ankle level. To do Rack Pulls at NWAC we have to set the bars at the lowest setting, then pyramid up some 35's to get the bar at knee level. Now if they would just get in a wide pull down bar.

...I try, as a rule, to separate my personal life from my gym life...And I know there are those of you out there that rely on outside aggravations in order to get motivated for the gym...But that is just not my style...It would seem to me that that sort of crutch thinking might have a tendancy to spiral out of control...Nonetheless, personal shit was on my shoulders as I walked in today, no matter how hard I tried to shake it...That combined with a few interruptions by Gym Staff (asking me if I left my lights on)...Other members (Taking over the equipment)...And Captian America (Showing me what a fucking superstar he is), I lost count of everthing and just hit it till I was exhausted...This is what I remember...

Superset

...Now that the ice storm is on its way out, and we are cleaning up our part of the world, it's time to get back to business...For the past two days there was little to do, but eat and sleep. Finally, Thursday I discovered World's was open for "Inclimate Weather" Hours. But long enough to get down to business...After so much rest, I was ready to bust some balls. So I called Little B, and it went a little something like this...

Leg Press x 5 (5 and a Quarter PPS (Last Set)) (She did 3 and a Quarter)
Squat x 8 (335 x 2 (Sets 6 & 7 Back down to 225 till failure for 8)) (She did 135 x 10)

Seated Plate Row (CG) x 5

...I am not sure why they do not have a Lat Pull down Station or a Cable Seated Row Station here...I am not sure the Cybex Machines' grip is close enough to my liking for my CG exercises...However, on a positive note, their half rack pins are adjustable enough to where I do not have to build a pyramid of 35's so that I can get the bar at the right height...I was supposed to pull from the floor, but I have a tournament that I am bowling this weekend, and cannot afford to have my lower back torn up for three days...

...I wish I could say I popped my cherry today...For after front squating, I had to go puke. I think it was something that didn't agree with me rather than over exertion. The Squat Press and Machine Press we used were awsome in that never more in my ife did 50 lbs seem like a ton...

...I don't think that the hypers were a good idea for a warm-up, as when warming up with one and two pies, my lower back felt very tight...I belted up for 3 and pulled 355 with ease when 405 would not even clear the deck. I pulled 365 clean the first time, but could not clear 375 or 370...When I backed down and pulled 365 the 2nd and third time, form was less than perfect...I think alot of it had to do with the mindset...I just didn't feel right in the hole...

So we devised a plan to where we would trade off machines with literally no rest in between exercises and sets...Sorry, but I don't have time for you to work in. I have shit to do...

...I mean just "Damn". I joined this Legion in 2007. I started this Journey in 2009. And now here on the eve of 2012, I find myself now firmly entrenched in the path I have chosen...

...In some far buried and probably long forgotten thread, I discussed how Powerlifting and Bodybuilding needed to merge into one sport that judged competitors not only on physical attributes, but strength as well. I still today find this to be the best judge of one's overall fitness level. There for in late 2012 or early 2013 (depending on the schedule) I will compete in an SPF meet in the RAW division (wraps and belt only). I will do so at under 10% bodyfat (i.e. having visable abs)...

As it stands right now I have a 305 bench, 395 squat, 405 Deadlift. I also weigh in at 204 lbs. which sucks major Walrus Balls. The current record in the 198 division is a 1655 total. The results in the local meet last year were 1520 in the 198 and 1525 in the 220. There is a lot of fucking work to be done. And not a whole lot of time to do it. Who better to hold me accountable than the 45,000 members of the Forum... Let's tighten our boot laces and get to fucking work...

...I choose not to do curls and pressdowns on the cable machine, because they work on the opposing pulley system. Everyone thinks their hot shit when they put the pin down at the bottom of the stack not realizing that physics is working in their favor...

...Arnold favored one heavy day a week. I like that approach. The main excerises to go heavy on (and keep running totals of) are Bench, Squat Deadlift (Rackpulls) and Clean and Press (Hang Cleans) I know for a fact you don't want to fucking know how much I can Shrug, Lateral Raise, or Dumbell Press. So let's keep it fucking real... I am starting this at 208 lbs...
