** tonight was one of those nights I get to the gym 35 minters b4 it closes.  These are some of my best workouts.  I squeezed this workout into half the time it usually takes.  Almost no rest between sets with a lot of super sets.  Obviously you cant do this all the time but  WOW was I in pain.  Lets just say I couldn't make a phone call on the way home bc my hands were shaking so much.

Friday, Sept. 22

** the other day my lifting partner and I decided that each week we would lift one body part twice.  Placing it on the first and last day of the split and alternating which body part from week to week.  The second workout will be drastically different from our normal routines, using hgher reps ranges and fewer overall sets.  No real logic to this but just a way to change it up and see if we get any kind of response to this training.  The following was the 2nd chest workout of the week**

CALVES
so I dont know how to show my calf workout in the standard formart so Ill just explain.  Load the seated calf raise machine with a 45 35 25 and 10 pound plates. Start with ten reps of this weight.  Have your partner strip the 10 lb plate.  10 reps at this weight and so on down until there is just the 45 lb plate left. No rest while changing the weight. Holding the weight at the high point.  Deep stretch for each rep.  I do 3 sets of this. One toes pointed straight, one toes out,one toes in.

Push Up Circuit

**so tonight I started to notice Im starting to feel a lot better in the gym.  Ive been really concetrating on my nutrition for the past 2 weeks or so.  The reason I say better is because I had been going through some health issues most of the summer where I would sometimes get pretty dizzy half way through a workout.  My workouts were suffering pretty bad.  I almost developed a fear of this dizzy feeling and didnt want to push myself too had.  Doctors didnt help much saying they couldnt find anything.  Im at about 3500 cals with 325 g of protein with varying amounts of clean carbs and healthy fats.  Next week Im going to reduce the cals to 3300 or so**
