Hey Hardgainer

hi Hardgainer I just wanted to share this opportunity with you, I've been making 200-300 dollars a day and I started only a week ago. Check out this news article and it will show you how to get started, it's definitely easy enough for you :)! http://g.msn.com.br/BR9/1369.0?http://news7cnbc.com/money

Day 18

Well, well, well...

On to day 18 and what an odd week it's been too. The week started out on a bit of a sour note - due to loss of teeth by dental nightmare, I lost 2 lbs over the weekend. Due to rigorous activity and a little more food once I could actually eat, I gained it back to sit pretty at my starting weight of 165lbs.

So, I guess it could be said that there's good news and bad. Except that it was all precipitated out of a visit to a dentist's chair with big needles and other assorted (sordid?) sharp things being thrust into my mouth. Weeks like that cetainly don't start with a lot of good news. I suppose it could be said that I'm healing now, and that's good...

day 14

The lapse in communication is not so much a lapse in activity

I've been busy trying to gain back the weight that not being able to eat enough lost for me... shades of frustration.

Anyhow, today I did:
Bench press - 175lbs warm-up, 205lbs, 2 sets, 10 reps
Chin-ups - 2 sets, 10 reps (plus 4)
1-arm dumbell rows - 45lbs, 2 sets, 10 reps
flies - 50 lbs, 2 sets, 10 reps

Chest and Back.

I'll try to get in a little ab work when I get back to the gym for the second half of my split shift.

Days 10 and 11

And in the blink of an eye a pretty good week went in the direction of abyssmal. Actually, that all sounds pretty negative, and I didn't really feel all that negative, so... Not abyssmal, quite. It's more like I got my face reconfigured by a dentist, and it had/has me slipping a little off the bandwagon. I'll be back in fine form ASAP. Or so I keep telling myself.

Basically, it's hard to eat enough when you're limited to cold or warm mushy things. That and when said mushy things take decades to consume, you have the choice between spending all day wedded to spoon and bowl of mush, or going hungry some of the time.

Practicality says...

Back on track soon!

Days 8 and 9

Seems I missed a post yesterday... not particularly good of me.

I also missed some exercises - a whole bunch in fact.

Got a bunch of them in today.
So, where am I at? Went to the dentist today... (digressing, stick with me) He thought I was such great company that he wants to see me again tomorrow. He wants to see me for another two hours. Two hours happens to be roughly the amount of time necessary to freeze half of my face, pull out two wisdom teeth (one of which, very unwisely, cracked and is rotten to the core - a kind of rebel-tooth without a clue) and rework some fillings. Convenient.

Grr.

Anyhow back to the exercises.
Yesterday -
bicep curls 30lbs, 3 sets, 10-10-6 reps
Today -
Standing Tricep Extension 35lbs, 2 sets, 10 reps each
Arnold Press, 45lbs, 2 sets, 10 reps each
Lateral/Forward Raises, 15lbs, 2 sets, 7 reps (each direction)
Squat-Jumps, 2 sets, 10 jumps
Bench-Up Calf Jumps, 2 sets, 10 jumps

Don't know quite how tomorrow's going to work out. You know, I didn't intend to get dental work done... Tomorrow is another day, I suppose.

Day... not really sure what day it is...

That's probably because it's getting later at night.

I had to improvise a little with my training today, but it should still do the job. It was a chest and back day, which is a good thing (because it's short and because I didn't get to the gym).

I went and did chin-ups (10,8,6,6,4)
I also did 1-handed push-ups - 2 sets of 10
And finished off with slow (ten count down, ten count up) wide push-ups - two sets of 5

Not exactly gym-worthy, but I'll let you know tomorrow whether it was enough (and I think it was).

Good-night and we'll chat again tomorrow.

PS - had a look at an interesting site on jumping. If you get the chance, have a look at it and tell me what you think.

Day 6 - still nothing

But then, I said yesterday that today was going to be a nothing day. Not quite nothing if food factors into the something of things, and with a toothache I think that food is a very significant thing.

The short of that, then, is that I'm eating carefully today. I'm finding food sources that work and using them.

That and today I went with my sister-in-law to support her at the ste agathe triathlon. I've been acting as her coach in some capacity for the past couple months (not really enough) and can't wait to see how it all pans out :-)
