-WORKOUT STUFF-
Wanted to update, I know I haven’t been posting all my workouts in this thing, but I have been keeping track of my numbers via other methods. I’m still doing the tradition bodybuilding style of workout that I start a couple weeks ago. I’m trying to find a happy starting point with it on some lifts, while on others I settled right into the perfect weights and when I need to progress.
I don’t think I ever noted why I was switching early out of the Optimized Volume Training I was doing. It was simply from seeing so many big guys either work out on video this way(Coleman and other bodybuilders) and from hearing some of the more elite members on the board discuss “ramping” as some have dubbed it. I’ve been focusing in on my cardio more lately.
I know I need great cardio to be a wrestler, or atleast to be a good one that is. I think the high incline(15 setting) treadmill work at a steady speed usually high enough to make me walk as fast as I can(Between 3 and 4) or enough to just have me to the point of jogging.
I started recently doing between 10-20 minutes, but I’m planning on starting hour long sessions soon probably in the morning, and then hit the workouts later in the day.
I’m doing a four day split currently…
Day 1- Chest/Triceps
Day 2- Legs
Day 3- Off
Day 4- Back/Biceps
Day 5- Off
Day 6- Shoulders/Traps
Day 7- Off
-DIET STUFF-
I work abs and calves multiple times throughout the week. I feel like I’m increasing my muscle mass even more, but I’m still rather stagnant on fat loss due to my own dietary pitfalls. I recently cleaned up my eating to the point where I’m eating mainly rice, salad for carbs(occasional green veggies that I’ve listed in previous posts) and chicken, steak, turkey for protein.
I’ll throw in a can of tuna a few times a week as well as atleast one protein shake a day. I’ve been struggling with it since I’ve started the log, but I’ve gone the last three days without drinking pop, which should also help me with the fat loss.
-PRO-WRESTLING STUFF and MISC.-
Getting married in July to my fiance, Michelle. We, along with my dad, may be moving down south at the end of the year. I was born in Gainesville, Florida and grew up from 4 until I was 15 in Myrtle Beach, SC. I miss the weather, nicer people, and better scenery.
If I don’t get into to be trained in Windsor by D’Amore(spelling?) before then I’m aiming to train at either Dory Funks school or Team 3D’s school in Florida. If we move to Florida it’ll be around Fort Lauderdale, if we move to South Carolina probably somewhere around Myrtle Beach.
Went to a wrestling ppv at the Palace of Auburn Hills(TNA Slammiversary). To me Sting vs Matt Morgan was match of the night, but from what I’m reading online I might be the only person to feel that way. I just thinking from where I was sitting they told a good david vs goliath story.
Morgan looked strong and stiff and Sting looked a hell of a lot better than he has in the last few months since his good matches with AJ and Samoa Joe. He looked to be fast and appeared to have put some muscle mass back on his body that he’d dropped since hurting his knee early this year.
Overall the show was pretty good. I’m not the type of guy that will analyze the hell out of a wrestling match to try and put myself above a casual fan. I’m a fan now, and when I finally train and get to lock up in the ring I’ll still be a fan until the day I put the boots in the closet for good.
I might go to another wrestling show on Friday, Ring of Honor is holding a show in Detroit. I haven’t seen an ROH show live since 06 in Chicago. I haven’t seen a ROH show period since I ordered their first few ppvs. Not so much that ROH isn’t as good as they once were, it’s more of the fact that I had trouble keeping up with the amount of shows they put out on dvd every year.
Still working on my novel and comic book, and I don’t remember if I posted this before but I will be taking my GED next month. Shortly after that I plan on attending the National Personal Training institute for their six month course, and certifying online with the ISSA so I can learn more about training myself, and find work as a personal trainer. It’s a busy year for The Buzz, have to make up for the last four that I’ve wasted.
Happy lifting and thanks for reading this novel of a post.
