301 lbs even
51" Waist
50" Chest
30" Thigh
18" Neck
Wow did i need to get started again. I'm basically keeping this for my own records and something to go back and read about my progress when needed. The little things that worked or dont work
I'm doing Herbalife. It is 2 meal replacements per day, plus extra protein when i have my workouts. I'm going to follow their program to a Tee for the first 2 months, then i may switch back to my 1 a day vitamins to see how much of a difference it really is taking multi vitamins 3 times per day.
My main goal it to get to 220 lbs without loosing any strength so i can win the US National Steel Bending Comp in 2012.

272.2
I was very happy & suprised with this weigh in today. That puts me at 31.8 lbs so far this year. Last week was tough, i had a funeral on Wed & Thuesday and i pigged out. So my Friday weigh in was way high, actually 282.2. Then Friday night i got a bug and stayed in bed until Sunday afternoon. So then i lost all the weight from the virus. I figured it would find its way back so i was real good all week. I kept up with my workouts also, but no jogging. One 200 rep snatch workout and 2 little VO2 Max snatch workouts, the rest was all strength training. I even did my second week of my 5 day a week DO deadlift on a standard bar. So i was only expecting to get back to where i was the week proir. So i weighed myself each day, and each day i lost weight.
It could be because of the new protein shakes i switched to from GNC. The guy said it is there most popular brand and eny excess would not be stored in my body.
It could also be because i did not have a pig out day last Sat because i was so sick. I don't know. I'll see how i do this week and report back on next Friday.
My training is going well for CGC. i am doing everything i should be doing except Blob & Grippers. I concentrated on them before Gripmas and they did not help me at all. Lets see if this new training will help me beat someone in something besides sledge.
I have been training on my Axle DO, 1" v-bar and 2 HP. Hard to say where i am because the Axle is affecting my 2 HP.
Goal on those 3 lifts at the comp
2 HP - 175#
DO Axle - 340#
1" V-Bar - 300#
Then 25# on the sledge and i really dont care about the grippers
The medley wil suck also, but this is still new for me, Gripmas will be the real test in December
1" V-bar - 300#

Made it through the first week. 5 days. It was supposed to be pretty hard but i have room for improvement. I need to step it up this week with some manmaker cardio for Tues, Wed & Friday nights. I will stick with the 2 workouts per day, that seems to be doing okay
The DL stuff is on a 2 week cycle. I should be able to make it all week this week without failing in the DO on the Std bar, but the Axle DL will be close. I will be at 310 by Friday which should be about max for 1 rep after warm up, and i'll do it with 5 sets of 1 with no warm up, hmmm. (PR is 160 with 1 hand)
The ISO's are still doing okay i guess, had to judge them, i'll just keep doing them. I will re-wrap the IM wraps before i start tomorrow morning because they seem loose, that may help wobble the startght 7" pc past 3 degrees, lol
The kettlebell snatches seem okay, i could do more but i need to keep that in check because it could tear up my hands pretty damn quick and i do not want to use gloves this time. I'll just keep adding each week, and like i said this week will be the man makers with the 16 kg, so that should still be okay on my hands (i hope)
My weight was off this week, i had a funeral on Wednesday & Thursday so i ate alot, i was up 4.4 lbs as of Friday morning. Then Friday night i go real sick and today i weighed in at 277.2, that 5 lbs lower then Friday, but thats because i emtied out my whole body. Lets see how i do when i weigh in this Friday. I'm thinking below 275! definately

Made it through Day 1 and did everything i wanted. I also included the sledge work. 5 sets of 1 during the day.
I have decided to try something different with the sledge this time. i will only up the weight every week and never have a down cycle. Just thought i would try something different. So i'm stating at 17 lbs. It did not feel bad at all. Still had a couple problems with my oinky not feeling fully engaged so i need to work on my grip of the handle and pre cock my wrist a little it to raise my pinky on the bottom of the handle.
I am using the 31" handle that is cut to that length, no more adjusting my hand in the handle to make it harder. I'm just going to be adding weight, 1/2 lb per week.
I really want to hit 25 lbs at the comp, that would be so sweet. It would really get everyones attention !!!
I am very sore today but thats good, it will go away soon, i'm about to do my AM workout next.

277.6
The weight is still coming off. 26.4 lbs this year so far. And atleast another 45 or so more lbs to loose. And it has been mainly from doing weight watchers 5-6 days per week. My cardio has not started yet. I tried to start the kettlebell race but my wrist is still really sore and because of the weather my training partner has not come over in 3 weeks. Not a good excuse but i used the last couple of weeks to do alot of steel calibrating so that really is a workout in itself.
Did a couple of cert bends last night. And i plan on doing a couple more this weekend. Then my goal is to start a rigorous workout cycle on Monday. For 1 month, all out. And see what happens.
My Plan: Mon - Fri
AM:
Snatches - maby with the treadmill, maby just for volume
ISO's - bending iso's 5 sec hold on 6 different pcs pre kinked to different angles
Axle DL - 5 reps increasing 5 lbs per day (Starting at 200 lbs)
PM:
DL - 5 at set weight and 5 at 90 % of starting weight with a 5 min rest inbetween. All DO to work my grip also
ISO's - yes 2 times per day
Monday PM (on top of usual workout)
Kettlebell Snatches w/ 24 kg - 15 sec on 15 sec off (VO2 Max) - Increased by 2 sets every Monday
KB Presses w/ 32 kg - Easy day - Same ladder i have been climbing for 3 years
2 HP - warm up and then sets of 3 - same as a couple of weeks ago
2" V-bar - just keep adding weight until i can not pull anymore
Thursday PM (on top of usual workout)
Kettlebell Snatches w/ 24 - same as Monday
KB Presses w/ 32 kg - 1 rung harder then Monday
2 HP - Same as Monday but sets of 4
Rolling Thunder - Just keepp adding weight
*** 1" V-bar with alternate with 2" every Monday
*** 3" dubb bell handel will alternate with Rolling Thunder every Thursday
I will be a monster after a month if i can keep up this pace. Lets see!!!!
