185x8x2
205x8

OK so I had 2 Thanksgivings, tore up some food and desserts and weighted in Monday at 182lbs. 3lbs lighter than the previous week. I got my lifts in but miss placed my sheet. I'll post up my lifts for this week soon. My oldest boy has his first wrestling meet tomorrow and my 4 year old has his first wrestling practice on Thursday, so it might be slow for me this week but I will get my workouts in.

I came to the realization that with two of my boys in wrestling that I'm not going to be able to update my log everyday, I WILL be hitting the weights for sure though! I'll update probably around 2 times a week, and just post up my moods, energy, how my workouts have been going and weight changes. Doing this will give me the time I need to accomplish my goals for the show and to be supportive of my boys.


Quick video of my oldest boy in his first match (He's the one with the white on his head gear)

Looking thick ripped!!

Do you have any cardio equipment? Treadmill,bike,punching bag,running up the stairs,heck you could even use a jump rope. All of these are some options. Anything to get the heart rate up.

Thanks guys, I've been working hard.

Matt all I have is me and a jump rope brother. I have stairs in my house but I don't think my wife would like me running up and down them. I have a bike too, but theres like a foot of snow out side.

We might just have to focus more on diet then instead of cardio for now if you dont have any options. I got some ideas though I will pm you this weekend!

Well it was another successful week for me. Weights shot up, and felt great. I'm liking this new Power/Hypertrophy routine I'm doing. I got roughly 3 weeks and then it's game time, I'll have about 5 1/2 months to cut down for my show. So far training is going good, I am supposed to be gaining about a pound a week but I just can't seem to gain the weight. I have been fluctuating between 185-181. I'm definitely getting stronger and my muscles are filling out nicely so no concern there, just can't seem to gain right now. I'm guessing my competition weight will be around 150-160lbs. Should be very lean.

If any one has any input on some type of cardio let me know. Right now it is very hard for me to run do to the snow. I work out in my cold ass garage and pretty much all I have is a jump rope. So I'm taking suggestions for cardio, let me know what you got!
