thank you suzanne somers

i've been trying to find more ways to utilize my 10lb ankle weights.

this morning in my early morning stupor i figured a way to do some sideways leg lifts using them.

easy high rep stuff.

so i did 10x12x15 and cooked some muscle i never knew existed under my lovehandles.

so looks like i'm going to incorporate them into my opening 12x12x15 act.

i also have been monitoring my sugar levels closely to try and figure out the optimum level pre-workout.

120-130 looks pretty good for energy level and emotional drive.

still getting stronger but not by quantum leaps.

steady minute increases in reps and pounds and angles are doing fine.

remember, it's only been less than 3 months since this regime started and i'm pleased as punch with the ongoing results so far.

i can't project the difference in a year's worth but, bring it on.

TRISKADECAPHOBIA

screw it.

increased all 140 lb. exercises to 150 @ 7-7-8

added a chest fly of 70 pounds but, with a full swing on the pacific fitness it cooks along nicely and gives a great upper pec and upper bicep burn.

got on the scale this morning as well and lost 5 lbs. in the last few weeks not even dieting.

i think muscle mass is starting to eclipse calorie intake.

goin' to crank up the volume a bit and elliptical again but instead of jogging for 4 minutes, running for 3 minutes and trying to do it twice or thrice daily.

CREDO

LEAN MUSCLE MASS CAN BE GROWN WITH EXERCISE UP UNTIL AGE 85......

SO WHAT'S YOUR FUCKIN' EXCUSE?

nudder shitty day in paradise

today i decided to mix it up a bit.

instead of barbell preacher curls with 70 lbs., i went to incline hammer dumbell curls with 25 pounders to start (remember back in '99 when i was pulling 55's).

still did 21's but, noticed a bigger burn over the entire length of my biceps and cooked my anterior deltoids as well.

also, i'm becoming fond of the wrist curls as well, doing one underhand and one overhand of 15 lbs. with about  20 reps for each arm each way.

i've been taking a vacation from the elliptical cuz my right knee is cooking a bit.

had a moment of clarity about the whole megilla as well.

since 8/26 i've worked out about 70 times total and my sugar and general feeling of well being is vastly improved.

only getting a candy jones about once a week and only satisfying it once a month.

cigars are even tasting better, go figure.
