Just woke up at 4:15 am. Later then I wanted, but it will have to do won't it. Just had two of my egg cupcakes. Yep, cupcakes. Will explain later. Getting ready to go and get my legs demolished. Legs are always fun.

The plan for this week is a 5 day training week.

day 1 legs
day 2 chest
day 3 back
day 4 shoulders
day 5 off
day 6 arms bi's, tri's
day 7 off

Abs every other day.

That is the plan anyway. We will see how it works, and what the trainers say about it. They may suggest something totally different. Will update when I get back. Time to go......

Day off, but I am not going to just sit around and do nothing.

Just finished doing the household chores (fun,fun,fun).

Now it is time to go have fun. I am going golfing.

And NO, I repeat NO, I do not ride the cart, I walk and carry my own bag...lol.

Hey MFTribers!

Here i'd like to give you my upcomming HST routine to see if this works out for me. I've been going to the gym for a little over 3 years now and noticed that my progression started to get slower so i want to try something new...

I did adapt a little bit in the routine. I will not do abs in my HST routine, since i will work out abs on a sepperate day with cardio. I will be switching between week 1 and 2.

10 minutes on the stepmill to warm up.

3 sets skull crushers 12 reps. Last set to failure.

3 sets seated dumbbell curls with a twist. Starting with palms facing to the front and after reaching the top twisting hands just past a hammer grip, and slowly lowering back to the beginning.

Superset
3 sets of tricep pushdowns with two ropes, keeping my hands away from each other as much as possible.
3 sets of tricep bench dips.

3 sets of ez curl bar 21's
Last set to failure..

Sunday is day off, so nothing happening there.

I had the opportunity to go see a power lifting meet for the first time today. One of the trainers at my new gym was competing in the bench press. I, at first thought that it wouldn't be that big of a meet. In middle of the US in Omaha, Nebraska. I was way wrong. It just so happens that it occurred at Big Iron Gym, which is owned by the strongest woman in the world. That would be Becca Swanson. It was definitely a spectacle. Iron plates being tossed around like change from your pocket. 1000 + lbs squats, 900 lbs bench, and a 771 lbs deadlift.

Hello fellow tribers

Hi MFTribers,

This time it's a question:

Do cardio activities realy slow down you're body from building muscle and does it realy burn muscle as fast as they say it does?

I've been wondering this because now i'm starting to workout again for ganing muscle mass, nice my summer holidays from school are over. It seems that my bodyfat increases faster then my lean body mass, meaning, my bodyfat percentage will increase. So now i wanted to add maybe 20 minutes of cardio per training to keep my bodyfat at bay..

Today was all about the shoulders, and that was it.

Superset
4 sets shoulder press w/palms facing each other. (No chicken winging it.)
4 sets front raises w/palms facing up.

Superset
3 sets side lateral raises (pinky up, thumbs down)
3 sets bent over rear lateral raise. (start w/ palms facing each other rotating to thumbs down)

Superset
3 sets smith machine shrugs
3 sets Dorian style shrugs

All sets 12-15 reps
Last set to failure.

I felt the burn today.

Saturday is planned for arms. Bi's and Tri's, and a AB kicker...

Hello everyone .

Well, I think I have found my new gym. I still have my membership at 24 hour fitness for those times when a holiday comes up, or if I am out of town, I can still get a workout in.

I was just curious, how many of us lost out on a day of training ? Did you skip out on that day of training, or running those extra laps, just because it was a holiday, or did you push on to achieve your goal ?

Woke up today feeling guilty that I have not had a workout in a few days. In my search for a new trainer and facility to work out at, I kind of let things slip by. Not to happen again, I can guarantee. Being it is Labor Day, I thought I had better call one of the gyms that I am a member at to see if they were open. The lady on the other end of the phone, tell me that they will be open for another 40 minutes. Wow, I had better get moving. 10 minutes to get there, and a quick warm up. The thought of weather or not I had time crossed my mind.

I wandered into a local nutrition store the other day, being I was getting a little low on my protein powder. After the clerk did his job of asking how he can help me, and if I needed a multi, creatine, glutamine, etc. He then asks if I ever thought about using a pro-hormone. Knowing what they are, I asked "Whats that?". He goes on to tell me how they will help me put on huge amounts of muscle with little fat in a short amount of time. So I asked him about side effects. "Not if you don't abuse them and go by the suggested doses." he claims.
