Not much, just training for a local marathon in April.
NICE!
my personal goals may be getting changed here soon...
my cousin and workout partner has decided he wants to join the military in 2013, so in order for him to meet the weight/bf/etc requirements, we are going to have to crank up alot more intense cardio, and really cracking down on the diet (he currently just eats whatever he wants haha) he is 6'5" 350lbs and around 30-33% BF and needs to get down to around 24%...
i will train right beside with him and hopefully help him achieve his goal to get into the military, i got a feeling me doing this with him will likely leave me a bit leaner than my original goal (220lb and 13-15% BF) than i would like but so be it haha

What branch?
Whew. I gained some size. Lot's of eating. Went from 170lbs up to 190lbs at my highest, while maintaining 10-12%BF. Got my biceps up to 15", and that was my inital goal, so I am happy with this bulk cycle. Going to be cutting the next couple weeks, then I'll do one more round of P90x Jan-Mar on about a 2600-2800kcal/day, 40/30/30 diet. Then clean bulk during the spring/summer, and once again lift heavy, eat heavy next fall/winter again. Final goal is 195-205lbs @ 10% BF. 44-46"chest, 17-19" arms.

I'm out in OKC, minus the family, until Mid-April, so I'm hitting the gym pretty hard with one of my roommates. He's big into lifting, so it was a perfect opportunity to get back into this.
We're doing a "Big Man on Campus" plan from bodybuilding.com, with a few other changes/exercises sprinkled in. I got back into the supplement game too, got a nice sized order from bb.com; multi-vitamins, green tea extract, Whey, Casein, Con-Cret, Syntha6 Protein Matrix, and a bunch of free samples.
Feels awesome to be lifting again! Hopefully I can continue once I'm back home, maybe get the wife into it too. She's still got some baby weight to get rid of. lol

first time in my life i've "overtrained"...
the past two months or so i've been goin 6 days a week, sometimes 7. i did tri-day friday, followed by superset shoulder saturday and then sunday i did back. i try to end my workouts w/ abs every other day or every few days rather than a single dedicated day to them. well i guess my constancy was too much and the fibers in my abdomen RIPPED! and not in a good way.
seriously most painful ******* thing ever. went to the hospital and had a CT scan to make sure it wasn't my appendix. everything was clear, but it STILL hurts and it's been 10 days so far since i've been at the gym. i can feel the torn fibers when pressing on my lower abs (bottom 2), it's brutal. what sucks is i wasn't even doing abs, i was doing BACK! well i guess an overall accumulation of extreme workouts was a large factor, but none-the-less, ouch.
the good news tho is i'm the biggest i've ever been and my stomach is the flattest it's ever been.
i can stand up/run/jump/be active, but sitting down/driving is the most painful. gonna go back to the gym monday next week to try some light cardio... ease my way back into things.

Wow, sorry to hear that man!
I'm on week 3 of my new 12 week program. Very basic split plan;
Mon - Legs & Shoulder, Tue - Cardio, Wed - Back & Biceps, Thu - OFF, Fri - Chest & Triceps, Sat - Cardio, Sun - Cardio
Bought myself a spinbike for the winter season, so just doing 30-40 mins of that on cardio days. Love this thing, makes cardio a breeze. I just pop a virtual ride in the PS3 press play, and start pedaling.

I loved spinning too!
I used to go to a spin class back home at the Fitness Center we belonged to. I'm not a big runner, because of the impact on my knees, but I run a mile or so on my cardio days. I'm not enjoying it though. haha I need to just hit the bike instead. Maybe get back into cycling once summer hits and I can actually go for a ride somewhere.
Anyone take any pre-workout stuff? Does it work for you/get you amped up?

I took supplements for about a year; pre, post, creatine, protein, men's multi, tribulus, etc., but now I just use some About Time protein powder (no artificial sweeteners) to reach my protei goal if I'm short on natural food sources, and a flintstones multivitamin. I'd say I am getting better results, so who knows if the hype behind that stuff is real. I am still hitting my goals, I have plenty of energy, so I figure I am just saving money. I'm literally in the best shape of my life at 30yrs old, lol, though if I ever get a little extra cash I may do a test cycle for about 12 weeks to see how that goes. I'm not getting any younger.
Yea, it's a toss up for me too as to whether or not all this works. I just figured I'd give it a trial run too, to see what it does.
My roommate/workout partner gave me some pre-workout stuff to try a few weeks ago, but all it did was make me tingly for a little bit, I can't say that it amped me up to work out harder. We have a bunch of free samples of some pre-workout stuff from ON that I've been taking during my workouts, just to break up the bland taste of water. lol I actually took it before today's workout though, and drank my Con-Cret during workout, and it was an AWESOME workout! I don't know if it was a placebo effect or what, I just know I didn't want to stop working out! haha
Might give that a few more test runs to see if I get the same results. Legs tomorrow, my favorite!

I hate legs! That's why I switched them to Mondays. On Fridays I would skip them, because hell, it's Friday, and I really don'tlike working legs. No way I let myself skip a chest day, so I just swapped the days, lol.
Oh, and the extra energy may be natural, because I've had an extra burst of energy toward the end of the week as well (didn't want to stop on Friday after an hour of lifting), so could be nature providing it for us by way of energy cycles.
vip that sucks man, hope you have a good recovery...
get a lifting belt keep your head focused on a high point of reference (mine is normally above the 8' tall mirror at the gym) and then drag that bar right up your shins, it will tear the s*** out of them but your form will be relatively good with those couple tips
as far as pre-workouts, i dont really use them... the days i do are the days i really dont want to go to the gym and by taking the pre-workout i have to go otherwise i get really really jittery and thats a bad feeling.... as far as them working, ive never really noticed a substantial difference
like knox joe was talking about, i used to take several supplements but im down to just protein shakes post workout and for a "meal replacement" (generally between breakfast/lunch) and i cant really notice any real substantial difference with or without them
and HIGH FIVE josh on loving leg day... leg day and back day are my 2 favorite days in the gym haha
i over did it this week on leg day and for the following 3 days i was struggling just to stand up and sit down out of chairs hahahaha
as far as breakdowns i am still going with the same basic routine but tweaked it a little to still fit with my gym buddies schedule
mon - chest and tris
tues - cardio day cause my gym buddy has Army PT on tuesdays and im not doing leg day without a spotter haha
wednesday - back and bi's
thursday - leg day
friday - shoulders and traps
i generally take off the weekends to give myself time to recover, if i do go on weekends its just for cardio
I get scared to do some things, for fear of hurting myself by doing it wrong. I'm still not a fan of deadlifts because I'm afraid of hurting my lower back if I do it wrong. lol

The schedule we're on now allows us to go on weekends, otherwise we'd have nothing to do out here! haha
Monday- active rest/cardio
Tuesday- full rest
Wed- Chest/Tri's
Thur- Bi's/back
Friday- active rest/abs/cardio
Saturday- Shoulders/Traps/Calfs
Sunday- Legs
Did some deadlifts today, 3 sets of 8-10 reps at 185lbs. Wasn't awful, but boy can I feel it in my lower back! haha Not in a bad way though, in a good way like when you first workout a muscle and it's the sorest it will ever be from that point on. After this week, I'll be good.
