Narrow Shoulders

February 16, 2008

I noticed in my pictures that my shoulders are narrow (I am an ectomorph!). I’m going to put more focus on shoulder exercises for the next 2 weeks, especially the middle and rear deltoids. I don’t want to focus on front deltoids because the front deltoids get trained so much from doing bench presses and overhead presses, which would easily lead to overtraining and injury. I will continue to follow Vince Del Monte’s program while putting more focus on shoulders also.

Cheating Sucks

The picture here is taken on Feb. 11, 2008. I ate a huge meal in a Chinese restaurant on Feb. 9, 2008, but I do have a life and hang out with friends, and went to the Philadelphia Auto Show 2008. I am also going to stop drinking Gatorade during workout. Being a retard that I am, I have been drinking Gatorade for working out for awhile now. It is high in simple sugar and high in sodium. By getting rid of Gatorade and having less cheat meals, I’ll get ripped in no time! With the help of Vince Del Monte’s Program, I am pretty sure I’ll reach my goal of a nice beach body.

I’m now 164-165 lbs from 172 lbs. All I did was changed my diet and increased cardio. My workout remained the same by doing one lower body, one upper body push, one upper body pull exercise 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). I have more definition than before, and I am still maintaining my strength.

Tonight, I started off with deadlift, close-grip bench press, and chin up.

Deadlift:
315 lbs x 5 reps
315 lbs x 5 reps
285 lbs x 8 reps

Close-Grip Bench Press:
145 lbs x 8 reps
145 lbs x 5 reps
125 lbs x 8 reps

Chin Up (bodyweight only):
9 x 6 x 4 reps

I want to be 162 or 163 lbs by Feb. 1st because I will take a new picture of myself. Then I’ll start bulking up again, but this time around I will eat properly so I don’t gain lots of fat.
