The Path of the Madman

[MadHatta]

sup so this is my log I'm fixing to hit the weights for the first time in about 9 months. Haven't been lazy in those 9 months just working away dropped bout 65-70lb. down to 190 n what i', lookin to do is basically lose the rest of my gut and pack on a little size.

for now i don't have a specific workout i'm following just gonna take a week or 2 to listen to my body see what i can handle and all and work something out from there.

well now that i'm back in this i'll put this to use bout to hit the gym for the first time in over a year. probably gonna kick my ass!

breakfast (pre-workout)- 2 scoops whey 1 cup oatmeal

apparently i still have a problem when it comes to poundin down solid food right when i wake up ohwell u do what u gotta do.

[MadHatta]

wow i feel like a *****!!! but ohwell we all gotta pick the ball back up somewhere.
Gotta break my old mentality to I'm tyring to crank out 8-10reps right now till i get back into the swing of things but my mentality was still sayin 4-6 haha not to mention. Ohwell i got a idea of what i'll be doing right now.

Stretched-
15min elliptical

Dips- 2x5
1x6

Assistened pullups
1x6 - 12lb resis
1x5 16lb resist
1x4 16lb resist
now when i mean the resistance i dont mean added weight its kind of 16lb pushing upward with me.

Bench- hahaha never been that good at bench but man..
110x6
110x8 forced a 9th one with a spotter
lucky for me i ran into a old school pal and got him to spot me on the bench

SLDL
135x5
135x7

leg press-
180x12
180x12 (feet together)

like i said ima play with the numbers so im cranking out 8-10 reps instead of 4-6 on all exercises but i'm glad i actualy got up at 5 this morning and started kickin it.

post workout shake was
42g protein,3g carb, 2gfat

post workout meal (munchin as i type)
6oz chicken
2 red potatoes
42g pro, 54g carb



edit* n man i guess the Y's been down in people or some s**t cus they f*****g stuck a mini tv on every cardio machine and 2 in the free weight area >.< rather annoying if ya ask me.

how long between the end of your workout, PW/O shake, and PW meal?

Why so much protein and so little carbs in the PW/O shake?

[MadHatta]

[MadHatta]

so instead of starting another thought i'd do a little resurrection :D. I'll be the first to admit kind of fell off the band wagon when it came to working out for a while. Dropped a lot of my fat down to about 165 not sure about body fat but my guts smaller then its been since middle school haha. Bought a 44lb kettlebell a while back time to put it to good use. Been reading up on training with 1, getting my diet down once again and friday I shall try to once again post regularly on accomplishments as well as downfalls.
