ok let me just say that I am so broke down right now it is not funny And it feellls sooooo gooooooooodddddd.
I almost couldn't even lift my gymbag to leave the gym!
Oh my goodness, havent had these feelings in a loooonnngggg time. Taking a shower was hard because i couldnt hold up my arm by itself, i had to use two hands. Oh my goodness, this is addictive! I cant wait to get to the gym tommorrow and blast these biceps and triceps!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Now im about to enjoy a big ol phat plate of Tacos and Nachos! with alot of hot sauce, hehehehe and a tall drank of icewater!

ok today is biceps, triceps, traps, and lats dayyyyyyyyyy
i can barely lift my water bottle, it hurts to hold it above my head or tilt it all the way back.
and it all feels soooo gooodddd.
im like high from lifting weights, and it is awesome!!!!

You are doing very good Bro, it does feel good doesn't it. I remember one time I was doing leg exercises and I got into my car and couldnt get enough strength to push the clutch. But all the hard work pays off, especially when I am balling with the young bucks and can take over the game. Well keep up the good work.

man im woe out again!
tonight we blasted the !$#~$$ out of the biceps and triceps, my arms is stuck in the contracted position. i can get full extension! went wayyy beyond muscle failure, not overkill though. Now just tearing down a big ol phat steak and a protein drink!

then ima lay it down!

jt

today is abssssssssss day! and cardio day
yesterday i only did biceps and triceps, so basically the day before i depleted the chest muscles, now i have depleted the arms completely, so my upperbody strength is shot right now. It feels sooooooooo goooooooood. but another day is here Today and tommorow are the last two for the week, and then im on r&r again
woo hoooooooo

wELL TODAY I DID IT
I did legs and Abs! then played a little basketball.
It wasnt that intense though.
i did enjoy it, it just wasnt that intense. So I guess it was a light day!
IM hoping to be able to really hit it while playing basketball tommorrow.

need a ref?

Hey JT, I saw in a post you need a Tae Bo buddy. I just bought the tape and havn't even started it yet. I'm a little nervous about it but I decided to try it any way. Let me know what you think.

Marty

Oh, and it's just my 2 cents but light days can be just as important as intense days when it comes to working out. You are the best judge for what is right for yourself.

Hey I was wondering what the weight levels and specific exercises are that you use for your routines?

I do something called Tai Fit (click on the link under my signature... I forget if it's one or two) which is basically just like Tae Bo (i.e., kickboxing). Some reviewers like the Tai Fit better.

Kickboxing, no matter whose technique, is an awesome workout, and the portability of DVD or video is super--it will get your heart going plus will increase your flexibility and is a great after-lifting workout because it helps to stretch things back out and reduce injury.

I do it every morning for 35" and it gets my day going better than my coffee does.

Do you use l-glutamine? It seems to be helpful to minimize soreness. I like KETO OJ which is a zero carb orange drink supplement (you mix a teaspoon with a glass of water). It has 500 mg of l-glutamine plus a lot of other good things.

Today, did three sets of 100 Knee Lifts
In the effort of "just doing something" im pretty proud of myself!
