love it, mang. love it, hard :D

when you said "week 3" i thought it might have been a five day full time kinda camp/training, like i did with sword training (a few times) and my mates have done with muay thai camps in thailand.

one day, dude. :)

I crawled home the first day, thankful that I didn't have to treat patients that day. I would have literally dropped the drill down their throat. A long way from Van Damming it in the jungle I'm afraid but I would like to do a self propelled boot camp out the back of Lamington NP one day. I took a week off one Summer and ended roughing it solo when I was 18. I could really see the benefits of climbing and training in those sort of conditions. Leeches be damned ;)
 
@Busty - Boxing was and is still my first love - 9 concussions later and no money in it for am levels - I am switched to cage fighting and LOVE it.

Full time goin 8 months out from bb'ing contest, today rear delts and chest. See if the food bill is payin off, cuz the other goodies are in full swing =D.

It's what's underneath the work clothes that turns me on! ;)

afterglow I am with you brother , I see chicks in the gym I go absolutely insane , and it's not even what's under i don't know what's with me - if I take a hike w/a girl and she breaks a sweat it's gonna be on LOL. Then again a cold breeze raises my mast an sails at this point with a gram of test in me.
 
I haven't been to the gym in 4 days.
The scale has dropped 2 lbs since.
Am I losing muscle mass that quickly?
Am I dehydrated? I drink tons of water during the day...not so much at night.
 
Sun salutations with the rising sun this morning. Preceded by some pushups, squats, and crunches as soon as I rolled/fell out of bed.

Do you weigh yourself at the same time of day with the same clothes on or not on? If you can't see any changes I wouldn't worry about it.

Today's agenda for me revolves around squats, everything else is secondary at this point.
 
Boxing yesterday morning in the sun really zapped it out of me - and now to head to Muay Thai.

I must remember to be gentler with my punches and kicks if I am paired with another female....some have commented they don't like being paired with me :(


...Also I am ignoring the number on the scales - used some good ol' calipers to do a body fat test - and I am pleased with the % - it's not great (23) but I am happy :)
 
2 miles on treadmill
5x6-12 incline dumbbell bench press
5x6-12 dumbbell flies
5x15-20 leg lifts

and then london broil steak and 4 eggs! :)
 
1 set pullups
4 sets flat bench
3 sets reverse hypers
2 sets lateral raises
3 sets tricep cable extensions
2 sets bicep curls

in staggered supersets, felt great man.

I always do staggered sets. I never see anybody else doing that. I don't like to waste time in the gym waiting for muscles to recover between sets. And by the time I get to the last of 5 consecutive sets, I'm unable to maintain good form. So I'll work a body part with 2 different exercises and alternate each exercise for 5 sets. That's just enough of a break so I can get the most out of my time.
 
chestoids, armeps, shouldoids, backoids, leggyweggs
almost to the point of pukahontage


choice, bro =D

You're crazy. I pair opposites so the muscles can recover but the CNS can't, like push/pull or bicep/tricep. I usually use 2, 3, or 4 sets per exercise, 5 if I am feeling ambitious. Today's workout took me almost no time at all but completely wiped me out. I like super hard intense sessions with money maker exercises that don't go past 30-40 mins tops. Back when I was a cardio fiend I could handle the 1:30, 2:00, even 2:30 sessions but now it's like, I jus want to bust a nut--figuratively--and go home. Training more than once a day is super fun still.
 
deadlifts x 4
bent over rows x 4
wide grip pull downs x 3
close grip x 3

db / barbell shrugs x 3 each.

side / rear delts - x6

45 minutes cardio.

starting to actually see the results I need , I get edgy when I'm less than 10 months out.
