David Hardy's "Comeback Journal"

[DAVIDHARDY]

Ok,

If you e-know me, then you know that I recently quit the competitive side of bodybuilding and decided to start just leisurely training and stay in good shape. I decided this about 2 months ago, and I was purposely not training my legs as hard so I could fit into normal jeans once again. I was also not eating as much, so I lost some size, but I was fine with it. I was weighing about 195 when I decided to stop competing, and now I'm about 194, but my composition has changed. It's going to take me a while to get my size back, but it won't take too long once I get back into the grove of eating 7-8 times a day and training hard again.

Why did I stop in the first place? It's simple. I was purging my life of anything that could possibly have a negative impact on my relationship with the woman that I planned on marrying one day. I figured that if I did wind up getting a pro card in the natural ranks, it could have been a big strain on my relationship. I'm not a very selfish person, but I am an extremely competitive person, and I'll do anything in my power to bring the best package to the stage. That means missing out on a lot of things, and I didn't want to put her through that. It was a decision that was 100% my choice, and she even advised against it and encouraged me to keep competing, because she knew how much I loved it.

Why am I back? You can probably figure that out on your own, but if not, here it is. We are no longer together. Our lives and careers are simply taking us in different directions. She wasn't ready for a commitment, and I was. I also have baggage that she isn't ready to deal with since I have a daughter with an ex-wife. She gave it a shot, and decided that wasn't what she wanted, and I don't regret any of the 22 months that we were together.

Ok, so that's that. I'm back, and I'm ready to take a shot at this thing. Also, I will not be giving up bodybuilding for a woman again. That was an ignorant mistake on my part that would have just led to resentment later on down the road. Live and learn.

[BEAST MODE]

Sorry to hear about you and the lady bro...I know how much she means to you. But as long as you guys parted on good terms, that's great for any future possibilities. She's younger than you, right? You never know...one day you may end up together again.

I learned the same lesson as you as far as giving things up for a woman. I will never give up anything I'm passionate about for a woman or anyone for that matter. We don't even need to go into why. You know me well enough to understand where I'm coming from!

I'm glad you've decided to get back into the groove though man. Like I told you the other day, you have some awesome genetics, and I know I definitely wanna see you reach your full potential.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Monday- Legs

I trained legs with a buddy today, and he hadn't trained them in months, so I held back a little. It was probably a good thing, because I haven't trained legs hard in a couple months myself.

SLDL 135X10 185X10 225X8 275X8 295X8
Squats 135X8 225X8 315X8 345X8
Lying 1 leg curl 60x8/8
1 Leg press 270x8/6
kneeling leg curl drop set 130x5 105x6 70x8
adductors 200x12/8
abductors 200x15/15
leg extension drop set 290x10 250x10 210x10 170x10

My back tenderloins are pretty sore from the SLDL, so I'll more than likely do shoulders and chest tomorrow.

[BEAST MODE]

Lower back still bothering you?

[DAVIDHARDY]

Yeah, parting on good terms is good for future maybes, but it's the hardest thing that I've ever done. When i got divorced, it was easy, because she betrayed me, and i resented her so much for it that it was easy. Kristin is only 24, so she still has to figure some things out. Basically, she isn't ready to fully grow up yet, and I respect that; we all have to take our time.

Speaking of genetics, my waist is only a 32 right now lol. I was surprised when I measured it the other day. My buddy swore it was low like that, but I thought it was like a 34. That's good news.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Lower back still bothering you?

No, the time off did it good. The middle of my back is just sore from holding onto the weight.

I wish I could say I've parted on good terms w/ any of my exes, but it just wasn't possible considering what they did to me. It was easy to be a jerk. From what I know, you had a really awesome woman though...a rarity for sure. But right now, the focus is on you bro. So do it up!

I hate your genetics actually. Your waist is almost the size of mine and you're not even prepping. Ass. :mad:

[DAVIDHARDY]

Yeah, Kristin is a great woman, and always will be.

My waist gets down around 30 when I compete lol.

[Shadow]

Glad you're back at it, Hardy. I could go into the woman stuff, but you came to your senses, so we'll just consider that lesson learned. Now, just take whatever emotions you have left over from it, and anything else, and use it to stoke a fire to do something magnificent.

[Shadow]

Yeah, Kristin is a great woman, and always will be.

My waist gets down around 30 when I compete lol.

Mine was a 33 before I started, and now even my elastic band underwear almost fall off. I should measure it just to piss Rich off.

That's the plan, stan.

Lol. My ass keeps my drawers up no matter what.

[Shadow]

That's the only reason they stay on, my big ol' ghetto booty.

[BEAST MODE]

I have a sub-30 waist when I'm totally shredded. It's just the last place everything falls off, although it's coming off faster this time around. I'm around 31.5 or 31.75" currently. I know what you guys mean about ghetto booties. For a white boy, my ass is quite large!

[DAVIDHARDY]

Tuesday- Shoulders/Chest

Pretty decent workout; strength is down, but it will be back shortly.

HS Shoulder press 90x10 180x10 270x8/7

Drops and Girondas felt great.

[Shadow]

I bet YOU feel great...


I mean, good workout. 55 pound laterals ain't nothing to sneeze at.

[DAVIDHARDY]

I'm pretty sore now. Tomorrow is arm day, so hopefully I can make these stubborn things grow.

[GENESIS]

IN. Good work David. Sorry to hear about the female issues. Its always tough when people are at different stages in your life.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Thanks man; all things happen for a reason.

[AVBG]

Sorry to hear about the relationship.. Good luck on the road back

[robert da strongman]

good training...good to have you back...and bummer bout the girl.

[Gerb]

sweet HARDCORE HARDY is back!

[AVBG]

sweet HARDCORE HARDY is back!


"No bitchassness" lol;)

[DAVIDHARDY]

Ah, the good old days:)

[sweetjane57]

First of all...major PROS on your outlook in this situation. You already said it: EVERYTHING happens for a reason. We live and learn, and I think it's pretty cool that you realized you won't sacrifice something YOU love to do for another WOMAN ever again. You shouldn't have to. She should accept you for who you are and if BB is part of who you are than she can either accept it or miss out on what you have to offer. Anyways, thanks for being so open and Good Luck on the COMEBACK:)

now........do you always do this high volume?

Thanks. For the record, it was 100% my decision, and she actually advised against it. She's a good girl, and she'll make someone very happy one of these days.

I don't usually train 2 body-parts at the same time, but I am focusing on my legs once again, and also my arms. I am training them every 4th day, and doing arms the same way, so I am combining either chest and shoulders or shoulders and back on that day in-between the leg and arm days. My back responds very well, and is my best body-part, and I have good genetics for my chest, so doing them not-so-often shouldn't be a problem. I am going to hit my shoulders every training cycle as well, because my caps could use some extra work. I'm not going to have a full on shoulder day when I combine it for back, just mid some mid delt work thrown in there. I'm sure that I'll have to adjust it as time goes, but this is the plan for now. Oh, and I'm eating 8-9 times a freakin day; my metabolism is raging!

[8itup]

Sorry to hear this. Well that little girl in your new Avatar is as good as it gets man.

Looking forward to following your progress.

[DAVIDHARDY]

That's my 4 year old. She's a little angel!

[Armored Underdog]

nice workouts, sorry about the lady.

and by the way, if I ever saw a 32 inch waist on me, I would have to go to the doctor to see if something was wrong with me.
Would be nice to have, I just can't see it happening with me.

Get at it

Underdog

[BEAST MODE]

That's my 4 year old. She's a little angel!

They are angels at that age! I have a cousin who is 4 and she is just a doll. And my little sis who is 7 is an absolute angel...she's my little princess. Love that kid to death! And I spoil the crap out of her...

[DAVIDHARDY]

Well if you have wide hips, then it is probably a long shot simply due to your structure.

I spoil that little girl like crazy. Pisses her mom off, but I really don't care about her. When i take her back home, I let her wear whatever she wants to, and it's always fun to see her mom's face get beet red.

[BEAST MODE]

Awesome! You gotta let kids be kids bro...I like that approach. Let them be creative and use their imaginations. If she wants to wear Minnie Mouse ears w/ a neon green t-shirt and camo sweat pants and house slippers, let her...as long as it isn't freezing out.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Then I'd just break out the spiderman jacket.

[BEAST MODE]

Hell yes! There you go! Or a full on spiderman costume...doesn't matter if she wants to dress up for Halloween in May...she's a kid!

[DAVIDHARDY]

Wednesday- Arms

Decline Skulls 75x10 95x10 115x8/7/7/6
Preachers 65x10/10 95x8/8 105x7/7
Incline rope pressdowns 140x8 150x8 140x6 130x7

Had some sushi afterwards. There's this place right next to the gym that has $5 rolls, and they're huge! That evening, I went to IHOP and took them up on their unlimited shrimp. Mmmm

[Shadow]

I like alterating back between bis and tris sometimes too. Nice work. Shrimp sound tasty!

[BEAST MODE]

I can follow your training much easier now that all the food and stuff isn't in there!

[DAVIDHARDY]

That was a pain in the anus typing all out, too.

[DAVIDHARDY]

I'm about to start some online classes for a nutritional science degree from Kaplan; wish me luck!

[BEAST MODE]

Good luck dudebro! Interesting field of study! Unfortunately, what they're going to teach you is not bro science! What I've heard from others in that field is that it's all based on the food pyramid, which obviously doesn't apply to us.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Oh well, I'm looking forward to the Chemistry and Biology classes the most. I'll be able to decipher the BS of that food pyramid crap. I will not be converted lol.

[BEAST MODE]

Just make sure when you answer their questions you base your answers on the food pyramid BS, or you'll fail!

[DAVIDHARDY]

Oh yeah, I'll play the game. You take me for a fool? I love you!

[BEAST MODE]

No sweetie, you know I think you're extremely intelligent and sexy! Love you too! :flowers:

No homo.

[Shadow]

I'm about to start some online classes for a nutritional science degree from Kaplan; wish me luck!

Do you already have a degree and are changing gears, or is this a first for you?

[robert da strongman]

nice training and good luck with the classes

[DAVIDHARDY]

Do you already have a degree and are changing gears, or is this a first for you?

I have a meaningless associates through the Air Force. This is my first real degree lol.


nice training and good luck with the classes

Thanks, dude!

[DAVIDHARDY]

Got legs today! I'm feeling some good old front squats and sumo leg presses.

[BEAST MODE]

Very nice! I've been doing a lot of front squats during prep.

[SwoleChamp]

In! Good luck on the comeback bro!

[DAVIDHARDY]

I CANX those nutrition classes. School didn't have the accreditation I was looking for. Oh well, I'm looking at going to on of the local colleges for some Biology classes. I might have to wait until after the summer, since I'll be having my daughter. I'm not going to be doing school at night a couple days of the week while she's here; that just wouldn't be fair.

[BEAST MODE]

How long do you have her? Bet you're looking forward to it!

[DAVIDHARDY]

I'll get her for about a month, give or take. I like letting her mom have some quality summer time with her, too.

[BEAST MODE]

That's cool you'll get to see her for that long! You'll have a blast, I'm sure!

[DAVIDHARDY]

Yeah, we'll be headed down to Louisiana and doing some other stuff. I'm going to look into a Disney cruise. If I can't do it this year, then we're definitely doing it next year. She'd really enjoy that.

[BEAST MODE]

When do you get her?

[DAVIDHARDY]

June, beginning of the month.

[BEAST MODE]

Righteous! Will be getting warm so definitely a good time to take a cruise!

[DAVIDHARDY]

They're pretty expensive, so I might have to wait until next year. I don't use credit cards. Boo those things. I'll find something for us to do there is plenty of stuff around this area. That was my 5000th post!

[BEAST MODE]

And I can't rep you for it!

I don't use credit cards either bro. I understand they can be useful in emergencies...serious emergencies. But if I can't buy something w/ cash, I don't buy it. And yeah you don't have to spend all that money on a cruise to have a good time w/ your little angel.

[Sandpig]

You two guys are smart for not using CC's.

I just went through bankruptcy because of them.

[BEAST MODE]

Ouch...yeah everyone says "use them to build up your credit." I'll pass...I don't plan on buying a lot on credit anyway, and if it ever comes time to buy a house or something, my parents' have excellent credit and would happy to co-sign just like they did w/ my car.

[DAVIDHARDY]

You two guys are smart for not using CC's.

I just went through bankruptcy because of them.

I learned. I used to use them back when I thought I had to have whatever I wanted. My x-wife ran up a lot of credit card debt that I have recently paid off, along with my car, so I am now happy to be debt free. They might have helped me build up my credit somewhat, so it wasn't all for nothing. I was never late on anything, so that helped me achieve my excellent credit score. I was thinking about buying a house recently, and was pre-approved for a $300,000 loan. What the heck am I supposed to do with a house that costs that much? I'm glad I'm not an idiot, because that could have gotten me into trouble. I guess good credit can be a double edged sword if you allow it to be.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Your car payments and rent payments should have your credit looking good. Have you ever ran a credit check? I also like to have money in the bank and use my best buy card for purchases. With the zero interest, it's just like paying cash, and if you make big payments with that money, then it looks great on your credit when you pay it off early. I like those 0% in-store credit cards; they are set up to get you if you miss payments, but you can exploit them and build your credit easily.

[Sandpig]

My wife already has a new card. I don't want another one as long as I live.

[DAVIDHARDY]

There is no way that I would have one in my house if that caused the bankruptcy. Did you lose your house? Vegas was hit the hardest from the housing crash wasn't it?

[Sandpig]

There is no way that I would have one in my house if that caused the bankruptcy. Did you lose your house? Vegas was hit the hardest from the housing crash wasn't it?

No we were able to keep the house.
Our lawyer said we were one of the very few fillers that didn't walk away from their homes.

My wife needs the card for her job. Mostly for rental cars. Hopefully that's all she'll use it for or I will be pissed.

If she isn't self employed, then that is sad. I hate how corporations expect their employees to front costs and then pay them back. Why they don't give them per diem up front and empower them to responsibility is beyond me. In the Air Force, we are issued travel cards, and we use those when we travel for any expenses that we encounter. We file our vouchers and the cards are paid for. I just don't understand why companies can't issue their employees travel cards and do the same.

I didn't even think about Best Buy. Been so long since I shopped there, but if I ever make big purchases, that's where it is. I'm a moderate tech geek. May have to look into one of those once prep is done and I can afford to treat myself.

[Sandpig]

She's not and that's exactly what happens.
She works for a company out of Atlanta and gets her work via the computer and then travels to it.
When some of the people higher up the ladder were in town a couple years ago, they all had company issued American Express cards. :mad:

[BEAST MODE]

Hey Hardy, I'm interested in any pointers you may have on posing. Would you mind texting or PM'ing me your email so i can send you this morning's pics? Steve is a great help, but IMO the more ideas and input you can get from experienced competitors, the better!

The zero interest for 18 months is unbeatable.

That is so pathetic. They will argue that you cannot trust everyone with the cards. Here's a solution, with our cards, it is monitored. When we make a purchase and we aren't traveling, then we have to answer for it. People get reprimanded and even lose stripes when this happens. Also, there are certain kinds of stores that our cards get rejected at, so it can basically only be used for food, gas, hotels, and flights. The military doesn't get much right, but they nailed this one.

Friday- Legs 1335-1445

Ouch. I'm pretty dern sore today.

Front squats 135x10 185x8 255x6/6 225x8/6
sumo leg press 720x8 810x7/6
barbell lunges 185x8/8/6
SS seated leg curls 230X8/8/7
SS leg extensions 290x8/8/8
lying 1 leg curls 50x8/6
calves

Didn't rest much between sets, around 90 seconds if I'd have to guess. I took a little longer for the lunges and fronts, because i had to catch my breath. I'm sure that I'll be in better cardiovascular shape the longer that I do this. I can't wait to do my same weights with little rest; it will eventually come.

[DAVIDHARDY]

I'm torn. I don't know if I should compete this November. There is a show that I want to do in June of next year, because it's close to home. If I compete in November, then I won't have much time to make improvements before I have to compete again. I'll just play it by ear and make the decision in July since it's around that 20 week mark.

[BEAST MODE]

I only get 30 seconds rest these days dude! I know what you mean on being winded. And my reps increase each set too...

Didn't you say you have to regain some size you lost after your layoff as well? I'd wait and hit the June show!

Saturday- Back/light shoulders 1650-1750

Had a good workout today after coaching some baseball. We played a really good team in a jamboree and only lost 5-2. That's great news for us considering our division is pretty weak. Head coach said we should do really well this year. I wish those kids would play ball year around instead of just during the school year, because some of them really have good potential, but they lose some skills when they sit out so long. Here's the workout:

underhand barbell row 135x12 225x10 255x8/8/8
wide pulldowns 225x8/7/7
wide grip t-bar row 180x8/7/6
medium grip pulldowns 210x8/7 195x7
rack deads 545x8/8/7
DB Pullovers 100x6 90x8/6
cable upright row 190x8/8/7
bent DB lateral raise 40x8/7/6
Machine lateral raise 150x8/8/7

27 sets in an hour; I was moving pretty fast with the exception of the rack deads. I took about 2 min rest between sets for those to avoid injuring myself.

[robert da strongman]

nice training...killer rack deads

[DAVIDHARDY]

Thank you, sir. I love those things.

[robert da strongman]

wish my gym had a rack to do them in

[DAVIDHARDY]

That sucks. I'm lucky that the gym on base and my normal gym both have a decent rack for them.

[robert da strongman]

ah well i am concentrating on my full deads anyway

[Shadow]

I forgot how fucking strong you are!

[Shadow]

And if you look like that now, I say fuck it, do both. You've got plenty of time, even between shows, IMO.

[BEAST MODE]

I agree...wish I had abs like that during off-season.

[DAVIDHARDY]

I forgot how fucking strong you are!

Meh, I'm down in strength. I'm not looking to really get it back since I'm moving faster now. The strength gains will come, but I'm not caring about getting that 6 plate deadlift anymore.


And if you look like that now, I say fuck it, do both. You've got plenty of time, even between shows, IMO.

That's what I was thinking. If I really buckle down, then I might be able to pull it off.


I agree...wish I had abs like that during off-season.

I was eating pancakes 5 times a week until 2 weeks ago lol.

[Shadow]

Mmm...pancakes.

[BEAST MODE]

Dude...I'm so not cool w/ that! Pancakes and you're still lean as shit! You're genetics are sick.

[DAVIDHARDY]

I actually think I'm pretty fat right now.

[BEAST MODE]

You still listen to DevilDriver? Not sure if you knew but their new album came out yesterday. I'm listening to it now.

[GirlyMuscle]

Happy Birthday, Dudebro!

[DAVIDHARDY]

You still listen to DevilDriver? Not sure if you knew but their new album came out yesterday. I'm listening to it now.

I'll have to pick it up. I've been listening to them a lot in the gym lately.


Happy Birthday, Dudebro!

Thank you!


Thanks everyone for the Facebook b-day wishes. I've not been on here much lately; been leaving the house at 5:30 am and getting in at 8:30 pm. Busy, busy, busy with baseball with the kids and softball for myself. 5 day a week, I get to spend a few hours on the diamond:)

[Gerb]

nice

Yeah, here's what I'm looking like now.

Sounds like fun. And Happy Belated! :beerbang:

["Rodz"]

Baseball already, must be nice, we cant get out there until late April up here in the Great white north

[BEAST MODE]

I can't wait for baseball season to start up. Unfortunately, the Cards are already fucked w/ the Pujols distraction and Wainwright's season ending injury. But I'm just ready to watch the game. I love baseball. And I am going to be catching my first game in the new Yankee Stadium this summer while I'm up there for Team U. They play the Rays...so I must say...GO RAYS!!!

[DAVIDHARDY]

We won the first game today, but lost 4-2 in the second game. Tomorrow, if we win, then we are in the championship game. Finally, the kids are starting to realize that you don't play the game for fun, you play to win; that's fun!

nice to have you back

[Shadow]

Strong as always. Nice to see you back here.

[DAVIDHARDY]

I lurk from time to time. Just busy this time of year.

[Mr.Bones]

How am I just learning about this break up now? And we have facebookz!!!!!!!!!!!1


Anyways glad to have you back.

Far as bringing up arms, here is what I am doing in a nutshell and it is working so good.

I'm doing chest/back together for a set of 15 sets total for chest, and then 15 for back. I go back and fourth with chest and back. So do one set of chest, and then back. Typically three different exercises

And well Arms of course, I do bi and tri together as well.
But again I do 1 set of bi, and then 1 set of tri and keep going back and fourth.

Arnold trained the same way and his arms were just amazing. It's a hard way to train, but it gets you in shape at the same time.

["Rodz"]

Good seein you back Dave!!

Bones i like this idea of chest/back, then arms on their own, gonna give it a try next week

[DAVIDHARDY]

We split up right after I got back from the desert, but I didn't post it on facebook. Like I said, life happens. I started dating a pretty awesome girl last week that I met at church.

I am trying PJs philosophy right now for bringing up my arms. I hit them by themselves, alternating bi and tri, and then I do a few exercises for tris on back day and a few exercises for bis on chest day. I'll give it a while longer to see how it works.

[Mr.Bones]

Is it difficult meeting girls having a child and all?

[DAVIDHARDY]

Is it difficult meeting girls having a child and all?

I wouldn't know, because my daughter lives with her mom. Part of the reason that my last relationship ended was due to the fact that I had a child, but I didn't have a problem meeting my x.
Crystal, the girl that I just started dating, has an 8 year old herself. I don't think that having a child means that you can't meet people, it just narrows your options for obvious reasons.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Saturday: Chest/biceps

I went in to do legs on Friday, did 2 sets and walked out. Just one of those days that nothing was going right, and I wasn't feeling it.

HS Incline press 90x12 180x10 270x7/7/6

Pretty good session.

[Shadow]

Nice work, broseph. I almost did that the other day, just walk in and turn around.

[Mr.Bones]

Strong lifting broseph.

Try this routine for legs imo http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0KFY/is_3_20/ai_98465312/?tag=rbxcra.2.a.22

[fltallpaul]

Glad everything is going well David. Sometimes tough decisions have to be made, out of those decisions often comes a better life. Hopefully I get to see you compete again. You giving thought to doing the NGA show in Ft. Lauderdale again? There is also a WNBF pro qualifier near Daytona in October this year...the first year for this show.

Thanks, Paul. I am thinking about that show in Ft Lauderdale. My training partner wants to start competing, so we might be planning on a September show in Deluth, GA. I figure that would get my feet wet once again. I'm not sure how I'll do, but I'll do my best. I'm having a hard time putting weight back on, but the weight that I am adding is solid, so that's great. I'm up 8 lbs in about as many weeks with my waist only going up a half inch during that time. We'll see what happens.

[Mr.Bones]

Can u use stuff like super dmz in your division since it is not illegal?

[DAVIDHARDY]

The NGA is pretty vague, but others are not. I was on a few websites, and superdrol is banned in their orgs, and super DMZ has it in there. In the NGA, they say go by the WADA list, but they also say that hormone precursors are allowed as long as the T:E ratio is 6:1, I believe. I'll just not use it to be on the safe side.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Monday- back

I skipped yesterday and went and hung out with Crystal and her daughter instead. We had a great time doing yard work and just goofing off. I was going to do back and tris, and today was going to be an off day, but instead I worked back today, and I'll pick up with shoulders tomorrow, followed by arms, and then back to normal. Oh, Wrestlemania 27 was the worst one I've ever watched!

Almost made it the entire workout without straps, but I had to wrap up for the shrugs.

[robert da strongman]

good back work.

agreed WM blew...except for taker and hhh

[DAVIDHARDY]

Thanks. I can't believe they ended it with HHH tapping; pretty much takes the wind out the "Die trying" sails.

I have to get back to doing it for 5. I'm sure my quest to the 500lb barbell hack will help me with that.


Fucking Triple HHH that panzy, he used to be the shit.

I couldn't believe they scripted him to tap; they could have at least made him pass out.


he still is^^ good to have ya back buddy. sorry to hear about the breakup and all. just tear it up in the gym

Excellent volume! Can't wait to get back into some off season training. Today felt good, but it'll get so much better!

[DAVIDHARDY]

I'm supposed to rest today, but I think I'll do legs instead. I have two ball games this evening, so my legs wont be sore tomorrow after running on them, but I won't be able to hit like normal lol.

[BEAST MODE]

Just get on base tonight then! Don't try to be all BEAST MODE on everyone's ass...small ball.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Crap, my stuff is at home, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow anyway.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Just get on base tonight then! Don't try to be all BEAST MODE on everyone's ass...small ball.


The other night I hit two homers...in the park. I can still get my fat butt around the bases if I have to, but my knee sure was hurting like crazy yesterday from it.

[BEAST MODE]

Shit...no way I could do that. I don't run. My joints can take it...they got tore up pretty bad during high school football, so I just avoid it all together.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Nice work dude! Feels good to pick up 675 doesn't it? I wanna break past the 750 barrier this year. I've got it once before but last off season the heaviest I went was 675 for reps.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Yeah, it felt pretty good. I don't know if I'll go heavier than that unless I start pulling it for sets of 8.

[BEAST MODE]

I just wanted to say I moved 750! lol It was my off season ego...

[DAVIDHARDY]

I can't wait to move 800...wait, what just happened?

[BEAST MODE]

[DAVIDHARDY]

ya i know. it freaken bullshit. i only drive when i have to these days.

Calling for 5 bucks a gallon by labor day.

[ANADROLicfreak]

damn that hurts my legs just looking at it.

[BEAST MODE]

Good lookin leg day right there! Multiple sets of squats w/ 315 for 15? Hell yeah!

[DAVIDHARDY]

I was definitely dialed in, but my lower back took a beating with those squats. I need to lay off of them for a few weeks since I've done them basically e4d for a month now. I went 4-5 tonight with a dinger and 3 singles, and I played center by myself since we only had freaking 9 players! Legs didn't hinder me, and we won 14-10. Lol @ beating a team with only 9 in slow pitch softball.

["Rodz"]

Great day at the plate!

Don't they tax y'all very high up there? That's a big reason the USA is the USA; they were tired of the government being too involved in everything and taxing people out the wazoo, so they gained their independence and were founded on small government. I don't really care what the gas prices are around the globe; the USA is not a socialist society that regulates everything to "make it fair", no offense to you.

Wednesday- Shoulders

Had to get it done early today; not much sleep last night at all, so I knew if I didn't do it in the morning, I wouldn't do it at all.

Behind neck press 115x15 135x12 155x8/7/6

bent db laterals 45x8/8/7

[BEAST MODE]

Nice volume! You applying that to all muscle groups now?

[DAVIDHARDY]

Yeah, pretty much. Today I stayed with the 6-8 rep range for the most part. I was doing a thing where I start with a weight I can get 8 with and go until I can only do 6, which is usually 4 sets; I only go 4 sets regardless. I like doing that, but today I had to hurry.

[ANADROLicfreak]

good shoulder training. i got shoulders today myself. why the one arm db presses? doesnt that feel awkward?

[DAVIDHARDY]

Yeah, it's weird. I just hang on to my opposite hamstring for balance. I have no idea why I started doing them; it just sounded cool.

[ANADROLicfreak]

ah i see.

[DAVIDHARDY]

Legs are still sore.

[Sandpig]

Yeah, it's weird. I just hang on to my opposite hamstring for balance. I have no idea why I started doing them; it just sounded cool.

Probably picked that up from reading about all the odd ball lifts Rob does.

I know I've picked up a couple.

[fltallpaul]

5 at bats in a softball game is good times, one of the benefits of being short handed!

[DAVIDHARDY]

That's the only benefit, especially when you're the center-fielder lol. Well, I guess I got some HIITish work in there with all of that running; two benefits:)

I've played with a rover outfielder to cover the little dinks, but not an extra infielder. Interesting.

Saturday- legs

legs were pumped after this one. I'm liking the high reps so far. For some reason, my hips have been tight lately, and they're starting to pop.

sumo leg press 540x15 720x15 900x15/14/11
l leg press 270x15/15/15
barbell lunges 155x15/13/10 a little kid, about 5-6, was in there with his dad. He was lunging with a 20lb bar on his back after I got done. It was too cute.

[BEAST MODE]

You actually use the barbell for declines? I've never felt comfortable doing that. My shoulders hurt like hell and I feel like I'm going to drop it on my throat.

[DAVIDHARDY]

I rarely do them. I hate them. I won't do them ever again...well, probably not ever again, but using the bar is easier than trying to lug the DBs into position. I like doing dips, but someone stole the dip belt from the gym. I need to buy one, but that's just something else to stuff in my gym bag.

[BEAST MODE]

I like the HS machine for declines. It's the only one that feels comfortable to me. I won't do flat barbell presses either unless it's on a smith so I'm locked into a comfortable ROM.

I've played with a rover outfielder to cover the little dinks, but not an extra infielder. Interesting.

Yeah you get murdered if you don't have an extra in fielder by guys getting hit after hit throught he middle or the 5-6 hole.

Funny story, after talking bats with you last week my Mayhem snapped in two Thursday night taking BP before our tournament...so I get to go bat shopping now.

I hate breaking bats. My younger brother just busted his freak a few weeks ago. It looked like someone shot it with a shotgun. It was still under warranty, so he got a free replacement. Have you ever swung a Psycho? That's a hot bat, and I think they're $300 still. It seems like most bats are now going for over $300 now!

Took 12 mg of melatonin and dranks soime sleepy time tea before bed last night at 9; I'm still groggy, and I got nearly 8 hours of sleep!

[BEAST MODE]

12mg? Damn boy...that's 4x the effective dose!

Yeah a few guys on my team swing that bat. I will be using a few bats this weekend to see which one I like.

[DAVIDHARDY]

I had to make sure I was going to get some sleep, because I only got like 3 broken hours the night before. I took 6mg, and then washed down the other 6 with the cup of tea a half hour later lol.

Does taking more than the effective dose work for you? I've read studies that anything over 3mg has proven to be no more effective than just taking 3mg.

I'm gonna go with "it made sense at the time" lol. I won't do it again. I usually use 3mg.

Hahaha...yeah I've had those moments! "One more won't hurt!"

that's what i told myself, it snapped at the handle on a very well hit ball....i create a lot of torque I guess. I will take a picture and post it, it's pretty funny looking.

I saw a guy mis hit a ball one day and slam his bat on the knob. His broke at the handle, and it was a Worth. I can't remember the type, but it was a blue color and composite. I never slam my bats around; it's not their fault I screw up lol.

[Mr.Bones]

So how's the women situation?

[BEAST MODE]

^^^Totally fucked up for all of us I would imagine...when isn't it w/ women? lol

[bushmaster]

I rarely do them. I hate them. I won't do them ever again...well, probably not ever again, but using the bar is easier than trying to lug the DBs into position. I like doing dips, but someone stole the dip belt from the gym. I need to buy one, but that's just something else to stuff in my gym bag.

Here you go, this is what I use for heavy dumbell presses.

[Mr.Bones]

I wouldn't use db's for shoulder pressin if you payed me.

[BEAST MODE]

I can get one into place, but my spotter has to hand me the other and help me pop the first rep up, then I'm good to go. I rarely do them though because that whole process is just a pain in the assholes.
