off day

45 min treadmill am fasted cardio

today is the dreaded day one of zero carb days haha. i freaking love the misery. i actually had an accident this am and it almost ended very very badly. i washed the wife's truck and my car. well when i got done washing the truck i pulled it into the garage to dry. i stepped out onto the running rails and my foot came out from under me and smash like a sack of potatoes. i came down really hard on my lower back ankle and tricep. lucky for me it happened so fast i didnt do any type of trying to catch myself. so the only real injury i suffered was a nice scrapped ankle and a sore knee. pretty scary but nothing major nothing popped on me and nothing swelled or bruised. so i am saved for the time being. i also told my wife that until the season is over i am not doing anything else that i have a chance of getting hurt doing. i am not getting sidelined during a prep for an injury outside of the gym lol

TweetGreat to hear that you have only suffered some small injuries, it is always the every day stuff that gets you hurt. Hopefully the Root Beer made you feel better! You may need a heating pad tonight.

the diet root beer sure does hit the spot and its to bad that i have to let it go in about 2 wks. so then the mega super suffering will kick in nicely.

funny thing about getting hurt is that i have hurt myself outside of the gym 99% of the time and it's always doing stupid stuff like messing around with the mrs or the kids or slipping in the shower bathroom or garage. the only time i have hurt myself in the gym was freak injuries warming up

TweetSooo funny! I was going to add; How many times have you heard "Payton Manning questionable for Sunday's game, he hurt his shoulder playing catch with his son in the yard."

You will be happy with the result after cutting the Diet soda out, I'm sure it causes a tiny bit of bloating. Hey, it is great to see what it takes to get you through this grueling diet though. There are not many out there like you, I think you are one of a kind. Thank you for everything.

you know what's funny about the diet soda? the bloat even as bad as i hate being bloated makes you feel full. this is a plus when your stomach feels like it is eating your liver and pancreas. i dont even really like soda truthfully but it is those small tricks for your mind that help get through the process. at least it is for me.

you are very welcome and yeah i am def one of a kind. i enjoy pushing myself and my limits and sharing what it takes to reach the best that i can for everyone to see.

when i work with someone that is just trying to get into shape or whatever their goals are that isnt stepping onto stage i tell them hey you can look unreal and in great shape but getting on stage is a whole other level or being in shape. that's where the difference is. i cant have that small cheat or that extra sodium or it could be the difference between first and last. the biggest motivation for me to sticking to what i do was losing to people that i knew i was way better than and they stuck to the plan and i didnt. plus i like to win which is an added bene to sticking to it lol. the post season feast is also motivation also

yeah man, it takes a special kind of focus to get them banged out productively for sure. i like the punishment but man you have to dig in extra deep. i wish i wouldnt have done that 100+ rep drop set and got my squats in. i felt like i cheated even though i limped out and they are stiff as hell today

nah that's just saying you worked extra hard and need some better recovery. that or rake was taking to long to finish up haha

Tweeti can only imagine dude! i did something fairly new and my legs are killing. I usualy have a narrow stance so this week i went wider, more of a power lifter stance and i did a triple drop for 4 sets then a heavy regular set at the end FML. usually just do your typical 4 sets with maybe a drop set at the end.

feel like a brand new person for real but honestly i feel the best on the second mid level carb day. with the tanks being around half full and all that's when i feel the best and strongest.

the combo of the detox and digestion aid from the lemon, it is a great addition to the first thing in the am ritual
