Thanks Amy, she did love everything! We had a great time on our anniversary. She put together a book with pictures and ticket stubs and all kinds of memories from our first year for me. It was really sweet and kinda emotional  |

I wouldn't be upset with those squat numbers. That lift has really taken off for you. I'm impressed.
As for heavy GMs, I think it is an intense movement and one that is easy to F up and get hurt doing, so slow and steady is the way to go with those. You could probably drop the hypers if you do GMs every week, but I recall you saying you only do them a couple times a month.

Yeah I was thinking the same, maybe drop the hypers. It's such a hassle to carry that heavy dumbbell upstairs anyway. I'll probably just leave my lower back to deadlifts and GMs soon enough. And believe me, I go slow I don't think I could go too fast with that weight on my shoulders. But I hear ya, I think I'm pushing so hard that at the top I go back a little and have to catch myself. |

I guess you could call me little compared to some other guys around here haha. I'm about 5'8" or 5'9" (I can never remember) and I think I'm up to about 169 lbs. |

SHOULDERS, Sunday, January 2, 2005
Military Press 10 x 45 lbs, 8 x 65 lbs, 6 x 85 lbs, 6 x 95 lbs, 4 x 105 lbs
Rear Delt Raise 8 x 10 lbs, 8 x 15 lbs
Upright Rows 6 x 85 lbs, 6 x 95 lbs, 4 x 105 lbs
Dumbbell Shrugs 6 x 75 lbs, 6 x 80 lbs, 6 x 85 lbs
Notes: Shoulders seem to have plateaued. MP has been the same forever. I might drop DB press and do MP press every week instead of every other week. I also need to eat more! I don't see how I'm not eating enough, I eat constantly and it isn't always clean, and yet my gut keeps shrinking lol. It is nice, but it isn't what I want at the moment!

ARMS, Monday, January 3, 2005
Dumbbell Curls 8 x 30 lbs, 6 x 35 lbs, 6 x 40 lbs, 2 x 45 lbs
Skull Crushers 6 x 65 lbs, 6 x 75 lbs
Notes: Had to quit. My arm is in pretty intense pain. I've been taking Tylenol after every workout for about a week. I might take a week off to let it heal, it hurts so bad  
Edit: Used FitDay today.
3500 cals, 106g fat (44g sat), 394g carbs, 230g protein (28%, 45%, 27%). Althought my weight is up to 172 lbs, I need to eat more I think to start gaining once again. I only had 32 oz water today, need to fix that. Also need to start cutting out saturated fats. Purposely ate bad today just to meet my calorie requirement (3000-4000). It's so hard to keep eating after 2000!

Went to the doctor (my dad) and he said I pulled by bicep in my left arm pretty much. So looks like I'm gonna have to take an unexpected week off. He said I could go light, about half the weight, but I'll just let it completely rest. Not what I was looking for 3 weeks back into my routine, but hey, it happens. Hamstrings and lower back are still sore from those damn GMs so I guess a little healing time would be nice. |

Bummer about your forearm. Do you know how you did it? Good thing you have a doctor in the house...

Arm is feeling better. 2 more days completely off with anti-inflammatories, then I'll hit legs pretty hard. After that I'll do shoulders and arms day with much lighter weight and up the reps (want to make sure arm is really ok). After I pass the "OK" test, then it's heavy lifting again!
Edit: Oh yeah...I've been eating like mad! I can't gain weight. I had this dilemma before. I'm even eating chili cheese fries, pizza, cookies, chips, etc. but to no avail! Every morning I wake up and my abs are still there lol. I want to get some serious muscle added to me, but I can't get enough calories to bulk it seems. Any high calorie, high protein meals anyone know of? |

Dude - you need to whip up some shakes and down them with meals. These three are all pretty good (high cal, high protein):
High Protein Milkshake
1 cup milk
1 generous scoop ice cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Flavoring: chocolate syrup, strawberries, banana, or peanut butter
Blend all ingredients at low speed for 10 seconds.
Calories: 485
Protein: 22 grams
Blueberry Blast
3/4 cup ripe blueberries
1 banana, sliced and frozen
1 tbsp. wheat germ
1/3 cup tofu
2 cup vanilla soy milk
Blend all ingredients until you reach a smooth consistency.
Calories: 491
Protein: 20 grams
Black and White Milkshake
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup chocolate syrup (more or less according to taste)
Couple scoops of protein powder
Blend until thick and creamy
Calories: 878 (!!!)
Protein: 51 grams

Excellent idea! I'll have to see if we have a blender. I'm sure it's buried somewhere in the depths of our kitchen cabinets.
