Training Log: Entry 80

Shadowboxed in the rain.  Gym was closed today.  Muscles
became tired quickly.  Possible combination of not being used to
doing so many rounds of shadow (typically only 3) along with muscles
being cold and not being able to warm/losen up.  Drew attention of
local campus security.  They wanted to watch for a while.

Did BWEs instead of Powerlifting due to gym being closed.  Pisses me off.  Hate Catholic holidays.

Training Log: Entry 79

Push-ups suffered due to paranoia about shoulder.  Only did 80 before stopping.  Still felt a good burn.

Bulking is psychologically taxing.  Hard to eat so much without
the cardio.  Fear of reverting back to fat state of childhood, but
at least I know I have the will to burn it off this time.

Depression starting to affect training.  Losing will to eat and
exercise.  Hopefully once Easter passes, it'll be over. 
Otherwise, this log may come to an abrupt close.

Training Log: Entry 78


Shoulder still hurts, but I managed to lift still.  I figure light lifting is good rehab.


Official weight gained
Week 1: 182lbs in PTs
Week 2: 184lbs in PTs


Need to eat more.  Need to make eating a chore.

Training Log: Entry 77

Went to grappling class.  Worked on getting double underhooks from
head and arm and over/under, then worked on ground with "ketsa" (sp?)
and getting short and long branch, then worked on reversing it. 
Dislocated my shoulder during class.  This time, it didn't hurt at
all.  I didn't even know it was popped out until it slid back
in.  However, when my training partner cranked on the same
shoulder and I heard a lot of cracking and popping, I started getting
pain.  That's the second time he's injured me.  I hate
training partners like that.

Training Log: Entry 76


Results are in for new lifting program.  I've literally reached full body soreness.  Pecs, back, legs, traps, even obliques are killing me.  Unfortunately, made me skip bagwork because I didn't want to enforce poor form while training.  Still, program is good.

Training Log: Entry 75

Knee is too beat up to do a full squat workout.  Leg is gashed from desk.  In general, ability to walk is reduced.

Attempted high number of push-ups.  Could only do 200.  Need
to rebuild my muscular endurance on this exercise.  Hope to add at
least 10 per week.
