Evolution Two – week ten
Thursday, July 30, 2009
Hello Folks,
I am really stiff today because of all of the construction I did this past week, which took a toll on my back. I am taking a day of rest from working out and I also had a massage as well. The massage was really needed and totally untweeked a few things. I spent the morning putting together my 80 day time lapse transformation video for youtube.
I have been looking at female bodybuilding sights to get some ideas about how they do it and also to get inspired. I have always been interested in bodybuilding. I actually watched an old video from a long time ago with Arnold S. in it. You know who, the politician. I am mostly excited about the prospect of seeing my abdominal muscles one day...hopefully by my birthday. I don’t think I have ever seen them in this lifetime. The first time I ever did weight training was in high school. My track coach, who was very successful with his students, was a big advocate for weight training to win.
I can’t say I learned a whole lot about how to weight train from school. Most of what I learned was by trial and error and then through reading books about it. I do find it to be one of the most meditative activities...I love the amount of focus it requires to perform a set.
Anyway, today marks the beginning of a new phase...since I ended my 150 day evolution. I am ready to begin to change up my program even more. The quadathlon is this weekend, which will mark the first goal of my exercise program. I am hoping my body will be ok for the event, since my back is still not doing well. I know it is not a good idea to compete when you aren’t a hundred percent ready, but I am not giving up on it, unless I am really bad on the day.
To mark day 151 I am posting before and after pics. I still have many more months until my birthday and hope to see my abs by then. SO ......
Exercise: None
