ya, i am 238, so its some extra baggage already on me. I feel pretty good for my high body fat % (prolly 18-21) to be able to do 3 or 4 pullups, most guys with that much fat at my weight cant do any. But still, I am hoping with doing the assisted pullups and hopefully losing some more weight, by the summer i would like to do 10-12 on my own, i dont think that is too lofty either, i am progressing pretty fast.

it had been a few weeks since last did clean....wow my traps are fried, i forgot how those things feel. I swear i never feel like this after shrugs (haha, the few times i have tried them) I am convinced this is a much more effective exercise for working traps.

This sucks a lot. Some of you might remember back in May when I tore 2 ligaments in my ankle playing basketball. Every day since then i have wore a brace to do any sport, and well today, i couldnt find it, i figured.....one day couldnt hurt.

Well, it can hurt, about 5 minutes into the game i took a jump shot and landed bad and POP....the ligaments are torn, again. I am on crutches, again. My ankle is the size of a grapefruit, again. I cant squat or deadlift for a few weeks, again. This is just making me angry, all because I lost my brace and was stupid enough to play anyways.

first real workout in a while......and i have some bad news, along with some good news. When I got out of school on the 15th, i weighed 238, i weigh 249 tonight, this made me very very sad and upset me very much. I i guess it was a mix of eating poorly and absolutely no cardio due to my ligament tear. I have to get in the game, i gotta get back my good diet, i know i can fix this, its gonna be tough, but i can, and i have to.

good news is ankle is so much better, i wrapped it up tonight to play racket ball and felt great. i will start biking as i cannot sprint yet.

i like the 3x3 program i did with bench, i am starting off the new year with that.



bench press:
pinky on ring - 205x3x3
middle on ring - 205x3x3
1/2 inch outside ring - 205x3x3 (those were really wide, nice stretch)

front db raise -
25x10 each arm

side db raise -
20x10 each arm

ab work

Glad to hear the injury is getting better! Good for you! You know how to add and subtract weight so I have no doubt that this too you can handle. Bring your ankle back slowly, don't push it. My left ankle is shot from my basketball days and all the "roll over" sprains. I swear my ligaments are just there for decoration now! Good luck and take care

last night i went to gym to play some racket ball, I am trying to get in some light cardio like this every day, since i cant sprint or run long distances because of my ankle. I am already down 4 lbs since monday, so that makes me feel pretty good.

anyways, I went to play some racket ball, and they guys i was playing with were running late, even thought it was my off day, i decided to do some bicep stuff, some forearm and grip work as well. I do normally have a day for my arms, or even do those exercises, but i felt like doing something.

bb curls - 3-4 second negative
55x15
65x12
75x10
65x9

db hammer curls -
40x10 each arm

some stuff for forearms (never had a pump in forearm before, wow, it was weird)

plate pinches with 3 5lb weights in each hand

static holds-
225x25
225x20
225x18

1.5 hours of racket ball
