Angrymuscles is back - 2011 version

Hello board and everyone. Angrymuscles here.

Been more than 3 years already since I left and yes, there has been tons of things that went down.

Long story short:

Stopped lifting
Eating anything
Left board
Left job
Got depressed
Suffering from hyperthyroidism
Went into deep alcohol/drug addiction for 3.5 years
Currently going through rehabilitation (will be done this April 18, 2011. Went in August 18, 2010)

My first 4 months at rehab, I was just eating a lot and not lifting at all even though they have a small gym coz i was dealing with my struggles and stuff like that.

Started lifting again after my 5th month and has since then went back to my routine.

I have no update pics yet, but the pic that I am posting here is me during the peak of my addiction.

As time goes, I have day-offs. Basically, they let me out for a duration of time/day and I was able to go back to the gym.

My splits are as follows:

Legs/Chest/Abs/Calves day 1
Shoulder/Back/Triceps/Biceps/Abs/Calves day 2

For the meantime, I am using that split to accommodate my day-off duration. When I am done with rehab, I'll go like this:

Monday:
Legs/Abs/Calves

Tuesday:
Chest/Abs/Calves

Wednesday:
Cardio

Thursday:
Shoulders/Triceps/Calves/Abs

Friday:
Back/Biceps/Abs/Calves

Saturday:
Cardio

Sunday:
Off

Yes, I am slowly gaining my strength back and to be honest, I do look bigger than my last update pics in the picture section.

Not sure when I could give you guys an update pic of myself yet.

Anyways, glad to be back
 
Angry.. Great to see you back. Hope all is coming along for you. I hope people on the board can use ur experiences positively and realize the impact drugs and alcohol can have on someone who was previously as dedicated as you were.
 
Welcome Back ! :)

It's great that you are better, stronger, both mentally & physically...

Remember,

"When everything seems like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top"

Best of luck to you !
 
AM! Nice to have you back. Good to hear you are back on board. Keep it going - you'll make huge progress! Take a few pics for yourself so you can post them in a year (or 6 months) to show your amazing progress!

Glad to see you are back on track!!!

hey guys.

it's the holy week here in the philippines, meaning no gym from wednesday till tomorrow, hopefully.

if there's gym tomorrow, then it's chest/tri day. if not, then it's sunday night.

pics aren't uploaded to me yet by my sister. will post when I get them

btw, when I type
120x10x10, it means 120 lbs of 2 sets of 10 reps. not 10 sets of 10 reps.

yes, I have since confused myself :)

so, in the future, to avoid such, i'll just go
120x10-10

i noticed on pressing movements especially the incline db, i find my right arm to be weaker. i bet it's that annoying problem on my wrist that's causing it.

anyways, good workout. but im planning on repeating the 160x5-5 next chest workout. it really didn't work out the way I hoped

legs/abs/calves

gym was jam packed. hot girl using rack to do them lateral raises. so i went on to clean the entire gym of plates and bars. felt quite nice.

squat
150x3

comment: I have to start box squats. my form is a total wreck. the form from my past is long gone. so plan is to go light and fix my form via box squat.

2 then cramps

pull thrus
100x20
150x20

standing rope crunches on lat machine

standing rope crunches via lat machine
30x30-30

all in all, i have to get back to the squat groove. my core/back/hams/glute/hips are not what they used to be so I have to build them up again.

yes, i watched westside barbell's very own matt wenning's "so you think you can squat" videos :)
