Had a good Delts/Biceps/Cardio workout tonight.

Since some of you guys are numbers guys, here's a quick summary.

I changed up from Smith Militarys to Hammer Strength Free Weights.
5 sets up to 210

Smith Shrugs
4 sets in front up to 325
2 sets rear 225

Triple Supersets Front Lateral/Side Lateral/Rear Lateral
20 lb DB's. These are killer. First 2 sets went decent but by the time I get to Rear my Delts/Arms are fried. I did a 3rd set and came back after a breather and did Rear Delts by themselves with 40's.

Biceps
Standing Curl 3 sets with 95

Preacher
3 sets with 75

Hammers
2 sets with 35's

My arms get stiff by the time I get to these. Not that my biceps are really burning, but the motion of the Hammer curl just doesn't want to come up all the way by the 2nd and 3rd set. Kind of like a huge lactic acid buildup or something.

My tendons are recovering nicely, but man did I lose strength on biceps with those tears.

Cardio, 30 minutes treadmill 15 degree incline. Sweat like a pig

You can practically count the strands of muscle throughout my shoulders now during my w/o's, my Traps are starting to perk up for a change. I'll keep sprinkling fertilizer on them and pray for growth.

Overall, I'd say the w/o was about an 8.5 I could have pushed my biceps more, but have to still be careful.

hey VS....great job man......yeah take care of them biceps. have a good day tomorrow.

Nice VS.....

That's some great progess in a short time......

The combo of that diet and that shoulder superset does that... I've got the same thing coming back myself now. ( I do the same shoulder superset, and I have all my competitors doing that too.... it is killer )

Great Work!

Well I wouldn't say that they magically appeared in the last 3 weeks since I've started the diet, but they have become alot more defined for sure. I am really having pscyhological <sp> issues lately as I feel like I'm getting smaller. FnF says it's just the fat going away, she may be right. My shoulders are getting more defined as is my chest and arms, but overall I don't "look/feel" as big as I was. Maybe I'm just weird, cause my workout numbers sure aren't going down. Someone slap me please....

**Viperspit** · 04-21-2006, 02:20 AM

Thursday 4/20

No workout tonight, it's a Rest night and resting I am

Back / Calves / Cardio tomorrow night.

**NewSpawn** · 04-21-2006, 02:51 AM

Hey VS......i have that same exact feeling of getting smaller. as i have peeled away the fat.....(and there was a lot of it for me) and even though the tape says i have grown.....i still feel like i have shrunk. you are not alone brother and don't let it affect ur self esteem. you are doin great. enjoy your rest nite so u can tear hell off the hinges tomorrow. hope u have a great weekend.

**Viperspit** · 04-21-2006, 03:09 AM

NS, thanks for the reply and support, glad to hear I'm not going crazy here

I've spent the last few days looking in the mirror and thinking, I'm getting smaller, but yet my muscles are getting more defined, pretty weird feeling. I'm definitely liking the way my 36 inch waist pants are hanging off me and I had to cut a new notch in my belt

Take care and have a good night.

Ha ha..ya it's weird. I just finished my cut and I feel small and look smaller in my clothes but look bigger with my clothes off cause I'm more defined now. Kind of a weird phenom.

**Viperspit** · 04-21-2006, 10:58 PM

Hey EME, if you're checking up on me, things are great. 224.5 this morning. A new low weight.

What's up with Jungle Warfare? Need any short term old man testers? let me know

I understand how that is too. I have three entirely different sets of clothes that I wear depending on what part of the season it is for me.

The thing you have to keep in mind is..... do you want to be "BIG" because you have extra fat all over your body? Or, do you want to get rid of that fat, and then eventually be "Big" because you have lean muscle busting out everywhere.

Remember that this phase is part of a bigger process. It doesn't stop at the end of this 12 weeks. This is really just the beginning of transforming your physique into what it's going to become.

Also, just for the record.... when I'm in contest shape.... people have no idea I'm a bodybuilder in street clothes.

When I go in the gym in contest shape I have people lined up at the end of the bench to ask questions, but people outside the gym.. at work for instance.. think I'm getting "skinny" again.

They have no freaking idea..... Once, I took someone to my gym who only saw me in office attire during the week. This was about 2-3 weeks out from the Oklahoma, when everyone thought I was "too skinny" at work. The person literally about fell on the floor when I showed up in a stringer tank..... they had no idea that's what I looked like under my clothes.

When you get ripped... you will be physically smaller than when you are bulked.... but you will look sooo much better.

Focus on the improvement to your physique... not how physically "big" you are.... that extra fat wasn't really doing anything for you anyway....

We could probably work something. It ships to me on Tuesday I believe.
I'll be using it as soon as it arrives. :yes:

Nice job on the weight VS......... and I bet the mirror looks even better than the scale!

**Viperspit** · 04-22-2006, 03:56 AM

Thanks for the response EME. I understand where your coming from. I took off my clothes after work today to change into my w/o clothes and I can definitely see my lateral delts getting cut which makes them "look" bigger. I also weighed in at 224.5 a new low, which is making me feel good. Had a great w/o tonight, hit back hard, but stayed away from Deadlifts. Cardio for the full 30 minutes at 15 degrees again

Took longer strides the last 15 to really work the ham's harder. I'm really amazed at the diet you have me on. I look in the mirror and think, dammit where were you last year? I probably have made more progress in the past 3 weeks with you than I have in the last 6 months for overall appearance :nosthumbs

Not putting any pressure on the JW thing, if there are any opportunities, just let me know. This has been a fun and rewardful ride so far, so let's rip it up together

OH PLEASE, this man cannot quit showing off his body to me, always flexing and posing half naked and with a real cocky look! He knows he is getting the goods

Nice!!!

BTW. Just got a new competitor as a member of Team Torture today.

She's a new Fitness competitor and she's going to be driving about 2 hours each way to train with us on the weekends!

I like that kind of dedication!

More to come as things progress there... she's still a ways out and we have some work to do... but it's nice to welcome another new member to the Team!
