Weight: 182lbs ... Whoa... well I hope this is because of the massive amount of food I had today. I think I just need to shed a few pounds if you know what I mean...Thats like 4.5lbs in a week btw.

I wouldnt worry about that 4.5lbs too much, it would be very very hard to put on 4.5lbs of fat in a weeks time, most likely its a flucutation in water in your body. I can go up or down 5-6lbs in a 2 day span from water alone, so dont beat yourself up over it.

Shit happens to me fairly frequently so don't beat yourself up about it.

Sunday June 22/2008

Another hungover workout day...it showed.

Squats
- bar x 5
- 135lbs x 5
- 185lbs x 3
- 205lbs x 1
- 225lbs 5x5

Done and done. Pretty much sucked the life outta me though.

Bench
- bar x 6
-135lbs x 4
-165lbs x 2
-185lbs x 1
-200lbs 4x5,1x4

Well I couldn't do it today. I think on a regular non hungover day I will try it again and I'm pretty sure I should have it. After this point in the workout I pretty much had zero energy. 5x5's are tough on a guy.

BB P.Rows
-bar x 6
-30kg x 5
-40kg x 3
-50kg x 2
-60kg x 1
-72.5kg 3x5

So tired!

Dips

Couldn't do dips today...energy crisis/my shoulder was really sore from sleeping on a couch.

Pull ups
bw x 4,5,4,3

Bring on the suck.

Diet

I'm going to stop commenting on my diet until I get back on track with my eating. So, just assume it to be "not so good."

Thougths

I managed to push out squats which I am happy about but my energy levels plummeted thereafter. Oh wells.

Best thing you can do on a hang over day is just rest and have some Taco Bell

Pitysister · 06-22-2008, 04:48 PM

have you considered counseling for your alcoholism??

Um...alcoholism doesn't exist among college students. It's a condition that only exists beyond the college years. Drinking is part of college.

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
