no yoga today

Well instead of being healthy and doing my yoga exercise I was down at the Cambridge Hotel photographing the new chefs menu and eating it. I took over 800 photos of numerious dishes. I eat mostly the appitizer. Ever time Rich (the chef) came in with a new dish for me to photo he was always telling to eat eat Ian whatever you dont eat you can take home. Which I did and my mom and I had fine dining for dinner. It was a mix of vegitaran pasta primavera, a fish dish, a chicken dish with mash potatos, apple pie, spring rolls, cheeses, grapes, toasted pita bread, chicken pot pie. Very fatting and very delicous. After eating healthy for so long my stomach screamed at me later on the john. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO ME!!!!!. I guess it was a little much to handle that fast.

back and biceps

I think I worked the hardest on this workout out of many of the others. I tried much harder to work on my form. I went back to the pull up bar and did 7 pull ups close grip underhand. That is not that many but I went all the way down to elbow lock and then pulled myself back up. That is much harder then going down say only 3/4 of the way. I was able to do 2.5 wide overhand pull ups. Those are super hard for me. I worked a lot with the bands, really just witht the green ones. It confuses me a little because the guys that are using the bands are all using the green bands for the pull ups and those are the easiest of the three that I have. I sometimes am using the black bands which are the hardest. The confusing part is the guys using the green bands are so much more ripped and leaner and stronger then me but I am using the black bands. There is no way I am as strong or stronger then some of these guys. I must have bad form. I spent more time working on my form and incorporating an Isometric hold on some of the pull ups to get more of a pump.

As much as I say I hate the ab workout I think I continue to get much better at it. I am not as spent from doing one of the moves or I can make it through the whole move without a break. What upsets me is that I am not losing the flab on my stomach or tighting it up or at least it does not seem that way. The bad part about that is my 33 jeans are getting tighter not looser but not because I am getting fatter but because my abs are becoming stronger and larger and therefore adding onto the thickness of my midsection.

no plyo today

I didn't have in me to do plyo today. I think I was to sore from yesterday. I think I did the workout to late so I was more sore today then usual.

Legs, Back, Abs

Same as yesterday nothing new just the same workout. I hate doing the ab workout as I have stated in earlier posts. But I push myself to do them. I know I am getting stronger in the legs but it is hard to see a difference in leanest until the after photos. even then I still have much much flab to get rid of.

yoga x

Finished my yoga x workout. Nothing really new to post about it except that I think I am getting a little more flexable. I am getting a little strain in my upper back though after doing the shoulder stand. I dont know if this is because I am losing fat in my back and there is not as much padding to support there or I am doing something wrong. It only hurts right after when I go into childs pose and stretch my upper body out. Then it seem to subside.

back and biceps

Well that is what i did. Lots of different kinds of biceps curls and different forms of pull ups. I need to get some different weights. My ten pounds is two light for some of the moves and my twentys are two heavy for some. I need to get a pair of 12 pounders and 15 pounders. For my chest, triceps, and shoulders I would help to have less then 10 also maybe 5 and 8 pounders. I also did my abs again. I was not feeling that good today for doing the workout but I fought my way through it and finished the whole thing plus the abs. Tomorrow is yoga.

Phase 2

Yesterday started the phase two of my workout. I did chest, shoulders, and triceps. There was many forms of pushups some easy most hard. The big one that I thought there would be no way I could do was the jump/plyo push up. You get into a wide feet wide hand stance then push up and jump feet and hands off the ground and if you can get high enough you clap your hands then come back down and continue to failure. Ab ripper x was also yesterday that was still hard but I might be getting better at it. Today is plyometrics which I actually might be having fun doing since my form is getting better and it is a real sweaty workout.
