Fall '07 - Upper 2, Week 24
Overall Impression:
ok i have some stuff i have to go over.
a few weeks before i left mumbai to come back to school here in the states. i weighed in at 185 lbs. this is around 8-10 weeks ago. so today i went and weighed myself again. and i measured myself in the morning.
here's what i used to be 8-10 weeks ago:
Arms = 15
Chest = 41.5
Waist = 37
Thighs = 24
Calves = 13.5
and right now this is where i am at:
Arms = 15
Chest = 43
Waist = 36
Thighs = 23
Calves = 15
but here's the shocking part: i used to weigh 185 before. now i weight a fucking 177! how the fuck does that happen? im trying to reach 200 and i just got set back by 10 lbs lol....i hate this....
the only plus point in all this is that i look soooo much better now than when i was at 185. im looking leaner and way more muscular. while thats cool im still trying to figure out how i lost so much weight. i have a few ideas:
1.) my diet went to crap in terms of volume of food consumed around 4 weeks ago. but i managed to get all my protein though.
2.) i fell sick and lost weight
3.) since i took my weight atleast 10 weeks ago, the regular cardio ive been doing 3x a week could be paying off.
4.) i just shed a shitload of muscle.
i dont know which it is but im gaining strength on most of my lifts. its just that i feel weak now that im at 177. its all mental i know...but fuck....going from 185 to 177 isnt funny.
anyways, enough whining...time to talk about lifts:
Military Press = many sets
i didnt feel very good doing presses today. i dunno why. a shitty start to a good workout though. here's what i did:
Set 1 = 6 reps x 130 lbs
Set 2 = 5 reps x 130 lbs *breathing incorrectly fucked up my form*
Set 3 = 5 reps x 130 lbs *breathed incorrectly again*
Set 4 = 3 reps x 135 lbs *got frustrated so decided to do some non-failure training for 1 set*
i wish i had just stuck to my required 130 for 4x6 volume but when the second and third sets went bad i got pissed. i was really breathing incorrectly. i completely lost my groove. and this lift is supposed to be my favourite!
Pull-ups = 6 sets x 4 reps x BW
these felt awesome!
Flat Dumbbell Unilateral Press = 3 sets x 12 reps x 45 lbs
this is a new PR i think. it felt great.
Dumbbell Rows = 2 sets x 3 reps x 70 lbs
i wanted to do some pulling movement and thought this might be good but then i got scared that ill tweak my back again so i went very conservative with the weight and i also did just 2 very very light sets. but the two sets felt pretty good 
Leaving Thoughts:
im going to make it a point to eat more food. i know im getting all my protein per day and more or less my diet has been good so far. on the whole however i think this was a good workout.
anyways, i hope everyone had a good week. thanks for reading guys. i hope y'all have a good weekend and those of u who are my facebook friends are gonna see some sweet pics of this coming weekend
