Pumping the chest!

Today was day one repeated. I was on the verge of puking and didn't. I wore my xl shirt to the gym and felt fit. I need more xl shirts and need to retire the xxl. I look so fit in a smaller shirt. I am buff. When this belly is gone, and the body hair is gone and the tan is set. Sweet chin music for you haters.

TTYS,

Squat it out

Today was legs day. I finished 3 days out of 6. Tomorrow is back to day one. Chest & Back with dead-lifts to finish me off. I hope I don't puke again.

I feel very bored and lonely. It seems like everyday is repeating itself. The gym is very satisfying but not too much else. I think I will take Michael to Adventure Land this weekend. His mom works until 5. I fucking hate the salon.

Somebody rescue me.

Everything hurts!

OK, so day 2 of the Arnold 3 day split. I am fried. The shoulders are used a lot on chest day, and to follow the next day with all these big shoulder movements is insane. The diet was clean today and I can not wait to go to sleep.

I will go back to Sunday weigh day and post any new developments on the road to pants size 40. Lets go Mets!

Arnold's routine

Today I started Arnold's 6 day split which has me hitting all body parts hard and twice in a week. I worked so hard today I puked. Shout out to Mike for the great spot, borrowing the body building bible and the awesome shirt (it fits! xl baby!).

My weight is still at 247.2 but I am very excited about the next 4 weeks of killing every muscle fiber for it to come back stronger.

No Pain, no gain. I look forward to seeing old friends Vinny S and Edgar this week and catching up. Time to regain my focus and recommit.

what a week

It has been a busy week for me. On Monday I spent time with Michelle. On Tuesday I went out for a belated birthday celebration with Martine and Flo, shout out to them for my awesome gifts. Last night I chilled with Chris and watched old school wrestling and then crashed on his couch. Good times.

I am revamping the diet to the following calorie intake.

• 2000 calories
• 180 grams of protein
• 42 grams of fat
• 250 grams of carbs

If I do not drop a steady 2lbs per week I will adjust carbs and increase protein by 10%. I might have hit a small plateau but I am ready to break it.

On the bright side, my muscles are looking great. I just have to get my head right. I need to regain my focus and recommit to my adventure in fitness.

Going to bed

So the 2010 focus is my body. I just watched the best celebrity body parts special and I know someday I will be just as hot as those guys!

Shout out to Flo for giving me half her sandwich and shout out to my peeps at Richie's Gym. Today's workout was dope, great pump and cardio. Tomorrow is all legs day. Most hardcore day of the week. Saturday I am taking Michael swimming while his mother works.

I bought some lovely size 42 shorts that come with a belt. I can't wait to be a size 40. God bless the gym.

The heart of a champion

I will start out with shout outs. Shout out to Dan & Dani and baby Samara. What a beautiful sweet child. Shout out to cousin Dani's hair, it is now black, the color not the race lol.

I did my HIIT workout today. I am so pumped! Jeremy is finally jogging. Great things are going to happen. You can have anything you want if you focus on it.

Make your dreams come true!

Obliterated

Ok, up at 4:30, did my morning cardio. Over 300 calories on the HIIT system.

Back workout and 15 minute HIIT

I am fading fast. This big body needs to rest. Goodnight.

Shout out to Mike for doing cardio with me. Mike you are the man! You know why! We all salute you!

TTYS,

JJB

Marvelous Monday

Ok, so there wasn't any morning cardio today. Getting extra sleep after the weekend is very necessary.

I Started HIIT today, which stands for high intensity interval training. It was the bomb. After a hearty chest pump I hit the cardio for 22 minutes. I walked for two minutes and then sprinted for one minute and repeated that. It was intense and I broke a nice sweat jogging. If you want to understand the bennefits then look it up plus EPOC. I jogged at 2,5,8,11,13 and 17 minutes. I want to do twice as much in the future. Ultimately I want to do a one to one ratio so a 40 minute cardio session offers 20 minutes of sprinting.

My cough is almost all gone and I am ready for back day tomorrow.

TTYS,

JJB

Almost all better

So I cracked today and went to CVS for medicine. I hope everything is good by Monday. I was going to do morning cardio tomorrow but I have no car and Mike the Nazi goes at 4:55.

I recommend visiting www.vicsnatural.com and get some tips on proper form.

Today I had a great back day. Less exercises but more sets per basic movement. I did a lat pull then seated row and then one arm rows. I did 4 sets each and capped it off with a seated upright row.

Morning cardio was great today and I will go Mon-Thursday for morning cardio next week and possibly Friday night cardio. Maybe I will hit victory field a few nights and time my laps. I feel like jogging. I am also pushing back weigh day to the 25th due to injury/sick/being on break and eating Olive Garden and Chinese.

Shout out to Vincent Amoroso for his Gladiator calves. You can carry me anywhere big boy! Shout out to my son for being a great kid and kickin Adventureland's ass. Shout out to Jay Cutler for having awesome merchandise and keeping me motivated. Shout out to Arnold Schwarzenegger for making great movies.

Back on the blog

Hi,

So Last time I wrote to you I was hurt. I missed a week at the gym. I went back today for some morning cardio and then again in the afternoon for a hearty chest workout.

In the last week I hurt my back then I was sick and mega busy with my son. Wednesday we saw a nick jr show at Radio City, then went away Thursday and came back Friday and then the weekend was full of Michelle's birthday and Easter.

My diet was less than perfect during the second half of the vacation but today I was back with a clean diet.

I just watched stay hungry with the bodybuilding icon himself Arnold. I am still hungry, still chasing my bodybuilding dreams and maybe along the way will figure some more things out. I am 30 and have a long way to go.

Going on a trip

The family is all packed up for our CT adventure. We will being staying at a comfort suites for $74 a night. Not bad considering it has a nice indoor pool and free breakfast. We will be visiting the children's museum in West Hartford.

My back is a little better but I will icy hot it for my trip. I am hoping to recover by tonight so I can hit the gym. There is a planet fitness 4 miles away and I might just join for $10 a month to go today and tomorrow and have a traveling gym. Where there's a will, there's a way.

TTYS,
