not following any specific program, just my own thing
getting back from a strained rotator cuff. i stopped lifting since spring last yr and lost about 15 lbs. started and was off an on first couple of weeks during fall semester but stopped b/c of shoulder.

started lifting over winter break pretty consistently. got the iron gym during fall semester adn was doing 50 chins in the morning and 50 pullups at nite (not straight up. in maybe 4-6 sets)until i completely stopped doing anything bc of shoulder.

dont know current max lifts but before i hurt my shoulder
bench - 185 x 3
deadlift - 285 x 3 not sure how form was. and was last dl set after squats and maybe 5 sets of dl

2/28 State Pattys Day
started drinking at around 8 in the morning till whenever it was i ended up passing out. im guessing i had 20+ beers but cant be certain on the number. i blacked out hard and now have a big cut under my eye and side of face.

3/1 sunday
only had about 2k cals in food… this week is gonna be real bad. i have 2 exams that i need to study for hardcore. i doubt ill have a regular eating and i dont think im gonna be goin to the gym much.

11

3/2
went to classes and than wanted to make some breakfast but we barely have any food in the house adn i ended up making 2 pizza rolls. and our cook didnt come in today so i only had 2 slices of pizza at nite. also took an addy to study for an exam i had that nite and a bunch of tea.
around 1200 kcals maybe. also couldnt get to sleep cause of the addy

3/3
since i only slept from 2-4 last nite i napped from like 1-5 today.
lunch
grilled cheese
tomato soup

dinner
ribs
mac + cheese

late nite
ham pepperoni cheese egg omelet

about 2500 kcals

ive barely been eating but ive basically been completely inactive besides the walks to the bus stops to class and back from them. i would walk all the way to class but its been under 10 degrees and feels like neg degrees the last couple of days here in state college.
so i have one more exam on thurs in the morning and so i dont know if ill get to go to the gym tomo cause i barely know the info and need to study hardcore
my ankle still hurts a bit, but my shoulder seems to be fine but i havnt really put any real pressure on it much.

im pretty sure ill be at the gym after the exam and hopefully have time before i go home for spring break on fri. if im able to get my brothers gym membership at home (lives about an hr drive away) ill be going but if not ill only be doing prob some bench, squats, light deads, and overhead barbell presses. i have a bench and a small rack at home but not that much room to work out in. im also pretty sure my food consumption will go down while im at home as well. maybe around 2500 kcals at most?.
o well back to studying

i was gonna do legs today but wouldnt of been able to do anything after my lab. we did a sub max test on a bike and i volunteered. little did i know that the bike was messed up (couldnt get rpms and resistance to the correct settings) and the people who were getting my heart rate messed up i think?

after the initial resistance setting my heart rate didnt change and so they put me in the hardest category for the resistance stuff. it got really really hard and my quads were killing adn sweating my balls off. i could barely finish past the 3rd stage out of 4. this felt more like a max test. so gonna do legs tomo
