Thanks and something New
Well first of all i want to thank everyone for helping me and for all the support for serving in the military its all good. i decided that i will just go the OTC route. I also decided to use this opportunity to put my cookies on the table for everyone to see, and introduce myself to everyone.
I am a Soldier stationed in Iraq hence the user name N_Iraq. i have about 4 months remaining on this tour and just recently returned from my R&R leave which is a completely different story trust me. I was in the GYM avidly up until that point and upon my return i was back at it like i was never gone, unfortunately about a month ago i hurt myself on a damn smith machine doing squats. I don’t know how common it is but i really did make it pucker on this one. i had planned a leg workout day and was going to start with squats, i did a few light sets and then went into my work sets. Normally i do my squats in a power rack but i decided to work on the smith on this faithful day. Fortunately i only had 315 when i was coming up from the bottom position i felt or rather heard 3 pops and a sharp pain. i was able to rack the weight and got my ass out of the smith machine i knew i was jacked so i decided io would do some leg press before i left knowing that i had jacked something up and may not be able to come back for a while. to make this whole thing short i tore stuff up pulled stuff and strained stuff according to the doctors at the TMC (Troop medical Center). Well its been about a month and TMTMTL is back at about 90% and the limp pimp is gone. i decided that i would share my training with you guys so you can all get to know me a little better. So here you go I am I am currently 6'3 dont know my weight cause i don’t weigh myself but my measurements are neck7 1/4; chest 47; waist 32 1/2; thigh 23; calves 15 3/4; bi 17; forearm 13. Currently i have a few issues that are training distracters my leg and back has some pain. and my left BI has been hurting for months a doctor told me all i could do was take it easy because its probably a muscle strain near the end of the muscle where it attaches. but that’s about it. of and my calves are sore too from yesterdays work out which was full body type thing i do but that was just to prime the engine for Monday. i also ran 6 miles in the morning then ran 2 in the evening.
Day 1:
Well i got up at 0400 and headed out to the Palace where i work to pick up my stuff; gloves and belts like that then at 0430 i was in the gym i worked back today did 3 sets of pull ups, 50lbs/10; 75/50lbs,4/2 ;100/75/50, 2/2/2 . i did supersets with seated rows but but don’t know the weight cause its one of those machines that saids resistance instead of weight i dont know why guess it dosent matter when i eventually start working the stack. i then did 3 sets each of something i call single arm cable high/low rows. basically the low row is a bent over dumbell row with cable instead of with a dumbell and a pull down using one hand instead of two. once again i dont know numbers but i did 3 sets to failure no less then 16 i did everything in 1hr and i train alone by the way so there is no smoking and joking if you feel me. i get spots when i need them but usally i go at it alone.
that was day one and by the way what did i eat well i had a pack of tuna on my way out the door, drank some gatorade and creatine took a multi vitamin and a B12 oh and a redbull too. after i got back to my trailer aka the S3 (shower shit and shave)i had breakfast 6 eggs over medium grits some fruit about 0800 by then. around 0930 i had 2 bowls of cereal and at 1030 ate some more tuna. so now i am up to date. gonna eat some more eventfully. There is a sand storm outside so trying to leave the palace as little as possible. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu wow sorry i fell asleep its like 1500. take it easy. I should do some work now . oh the grammar thing all the lower case letters grammar mistakes I just did have time to edit. Short term is messed up so I had to capture this now
