Where are you working out? I am in The Woodland @ 24 Hour Fitness

 

[h-town_boy]

working out at the 24 in the meyerland area but I am about to be enrolled in the University of Houston, so I will be using their gym pretty soon. It will be a major step up considering all of the jackasses you usually run into at 24, and that is just the staff. Besides I hear the wellness center is packed full of all sorts of good shit. Basketball courts, swimming lanes, racquetball courts(dont know if I spelled that right)indoor soccer a track, the list goes on.

Wow it has been a while since I have posted on here. I have been busy with school, women, and unfortunately a good amount of drinking and pot smoking as well, but I am getting back on the horse and hitting the gym with a vengeance. I am currently taking green tea and I just started taking creatine ethyl ester as well so I should be gaining some strength. I was amazed to go to the gym and weigh in at about 188-189. Shit I thought the scale was broken, but I guess this green tea really does work. Although I am 30 pounds lighter than I was last time I wrote in, most of my lifts are about to what they were when I last was on cycle about 8 months ago. Here is my workout from the other day.

[pretty ricky]

what are you doing it's like your studering!

 

[h-town_boy]

stuttering. I am finishing all my heavy sets and then hitting one set of each exercise with high reps. That way I have peak energy for all my heavy sets, but I can still try to shred a little.

 

[pretty ricky]

shreding=cardio+diet!but now i can see.

 

[pullinbig]

why the over/under grip on rows if i may ask?

 

[h-town_boy]

it was something a friend of mine had heard of, and so we tried it out and I really like the feeling of the muscle contraction in this one. I can feel my whole mid to upper back really tighten up.

 

[h-town_boy]

shreding=cardio+diet!but now i can see.

yah i really need to up the cardio, my diet is pretty in check even though I am a little short on money right now, but I thought I would experiment and try this out for a while to see how it works.
