Workout Update

This Weekend, The Past weekend, and the PAST PAST weekend, my diet slipped a-lot given that I had two prom's in a row and ended up in some really bad places this weekend.

=[[. feel so depressed. But I'm trying to get my mental focus back this week, starting with my legs which are already extremely sore from the 8 hours of basketball I also played.

BTW. The heavy weight squats have increased my ups by like 5 inches. I can now touch rim!

Anyways, I've been reading all these great reviews on these supplements from this company called Applied Nutriceuticals. Definitely thinking about trying some things out at the end of my school year, especially Neovar (their creatine) and RPM (their pre-workout).

I'll let you guys know once I do purchase the supplements. For now, I'm still using my Jack3d, which is about to run out. One thing about Jack3d is that I get used to it so fast, and the bottle runs out so fast. =[.

Good start of the week

Leg day yesterday was good.
I got down low for all my squats. and decline leg pressed 630lbs, 7 plates. Starting to get some more mass in my legs.

Chest day was good too today. I did alot of lower reps and heavier weights to focus on mass a bit more. and lowered my sets down to 2 or 1. I did 5 reps of 175 with a spotter. which is pretty good for me considering I'm still pretty weak.

Got some more protein today and a shake bottle so I can get my protein in at the gym.
Saw an ER doctor today during my hospital rotation. Buff as heck. He majored in sports nutrition and I;m thinking about doing that too. Hopefully I'll make med school too haha =].

Prom

I had my sweets and stuff. =].

But I kept it to a minimum. My date was all like EATTTT MOREEE.

Anyways, I refrained from my soda, my favorite pastime. The food was pretty good for girls and guys night, had a little bit of fries.

Next week is AP testing, so I'm just gonna hit the YMCA right after school, and study or something like that. Sorry Michael, I promise we'll workout after AP exams. =].
