I think he's doing carb cycling as part of a cutting regimen. Not a good idea for long-term health, but I've heard that it works wonders for getting that last couple %BF off.

Exactly Dave. I've always had a little extra fat over my abbs and chest, even when the rest of my body seemed very toned. But as you and Gaian have said, I realize it is not the best thing for your body. So after around 2.5 months, I'm going back to my carbs everyday, and upping the cardio and am interested in seeing if I can stay as lean as I want to. We shall see!
 
Had some tea, and an egg... umm... thing... suflay? I think it's called... Then I hit the gym, 10 min warmup and light cardio followed by a few minutes of stretches and flexibility work. Then I did some pyramid style dumbbell presses on an incline followed by Tabata method front squats into presses. After nearly passing out, I rested until I was nearly recovered then used up whatever fuel I had left for leg presses and cool down cardiovascular work. When I left my abs were on fire lol... even though I did no direct work on them today. Sweet! %) Next time I'll focus on pulling instead of all this pressing. Deadlifts are good to me. %)
 
earlier today i hit shoulders.

tomorrow is my favorite day - BACK day. i'm hoping to hit 315x6 or more. my pr is 5 reps.

EDIT : you bet your ass i pulled that shit for 6. mmmmm great day today...

No more than I am usually. I do an almost 2 hour stint 4 days a week. I have been doing that since August (new fitness place). The boot camp was a new class I was able to attend.
 
I had a massage on Tuesday night. I arranged for her to come to my home. She said my upper back was all kinds of messed up. I thought those crackly bits were bone not muscle knots. She is coming back in 3 weeks. I am going to make this a monthly habit. Another thing I want to do for me....I am worth it :)

Anyone else get regular massages?
 
no you're lucky

i used to date a chick that did some bodywork on me

it really does help you with most any goal (muscle building)

like...a lot

if I were in a relationship I would go to a few classes with my loved one so we could work on each other. Its not too hard to get real good at bodywork if all you have to practice on is one person. The hard part is understanding how each different body is different and adapting your technique on the fly. But, if your just a couple you don't have to do that.

I would pick a massage night once a week I think it would be so beneficial I think and also something you both could REALLY look forward to!
 
can you float back into plank from standing forward bend? Have you ever tried?

this is part of vinyasa and is awesome for ripping your core up and making it stronger

try real control lifting up on your hands and 'floating' your feet back to plank

lemme try to find a video...

I did today more gym rat stuff, man I've been eating so much I feel like doing high rep stuff
DB bench
bent rows
pullups
lateral raises
skullcrushers
curls
weighted hypers

mostly 10 rep sets
 
Hot yoga looks pretty intense. I don't think that I could handle that-- good for you though.

Today I broke 200 on my deadlifts, 4 sets of 5. Pretty good considering that even 6 months ago I couldn't get the form right for the life of me. I did some other stuff too, but that was what stood out the most. Yay me!
 
It was another crappy leg day for me. Three sets of 8 135 pound squats on the Smith machine and three sets of 8 135 pound deadlifts.

I'm still in a cast with a broken foot until next week, so I'm just doing what I can to keep the muscles working. I can't free weight squat since I can't move my ankle to allow my knee to go forward, so I have to hack squat on the smith machine.

One more week!
