This protein is kicking the shit out of me (in a port-a-pooper-kind-of-literal-sense). Despite shoveling this crap into my body, I have yet to see any significant improvements, although it’s grossly possible that I’m just an impatient son of a bitch. The latter seems most logical.

Must lift more, faster.

Side Note: I needz ta git ma body fats taken. I have no clue where I currently stand, but it’s something I need to keep track of as I progress through bulking. Obviously after I hit my goal I need to kill off some/most of that unsightly fat. Also need to get a before picture up so I can lulz at myself in the future.

Post Workout update to follow later today.

…the fat baby has spoken.

Fuck-knucles in his super-moto nut hugging shorts got in my way while I was A)Trying to deadlift and B)Trying to clean. Hindered my ability to keep a solid pace. Pissed me off.

Dragged serious ass today. Too many energy drinks before my workout probably took me out of my game. I should’ve put up at least 225# on the squats and 185# on the bench. I’ll make up for this failure on Friday. Between yesterday’s workout and today’s - I make my insides cry in self pity.

Someone pointed out I was basically doing SS with more reps and mixed the lifts around a bit…so…screw it…SS it is. I hate rest days though. =\ I get too antsy.

Not even a full 24 hours has passed and I’m already loosing my mind about not going to the gym today…
cosidering 5-day split to kill downtime.

I went to warm up using the 135#, but my left shoulder got a shooting pain immediately after the first rep. I took it easy on my shoulder today. ??? Front of the shoulder and the pain shoots from the collar bone area to (or from) my joint. Odd. A little pissed about it, but no sense it getting worked up over it. I’ll just stretch the fuck out of it next time.

Felt awesome about the ab portion of my workout. Flutter kicks and Hello Dollies are a Marine Corps staple in PT sessions. A common torture method during an especially rigorous session would include 20 flutter kicks supersetted with an equal number of Hello Dollies without resting your feet on the deck. I took the time to practice “Six Inches”, which is the starting position for both movements. I simply laid flat on the ground with my hands palm down under my hips and held my feet ‘six inches’ above the ground for 30 seconds with 30 seconds rest. This is also a common meathod of instilling some pain in junior Marines.

Seriously though, WTF shoulder?!
