The Sideshow Freaks Fitness Thread

[Biojex]

well i just got some terrible news yesterday, well it's not really terrible but in order for me to win my pro card this year in ohio i will have to not only take my overall in missouri at the end of october in order to qualify for the ohio show and win it as well to gain pro status. Some new rules about not competing within two years even though i have 3-5 first place placements in the past 5 years (2 1st place placements in weight class and 1 1st place placement in the a overall in 2009), but some how that is all tossed waste side because of the 2 year non-competing mark.

Even though this recent news is not a total wash to me but it definitely was a lot more than i thought i was going to have to do here in missouri, so instead of my plan to place 1st in my weight class and not have to win the overall, i will have to now to do that because of my hiatus from the sport. This has not only fuel the fire inside of me but it's made me even more determined than ever before. I was told at the registering by a judge "that shouldn't be a problem for someone in your shoes". I didn't know how to take it, whether that was a compliment or a insult. A compliment meaning that i should be able to win the overall here in october and skate on through but an insult as i've pretty much become a veteran that has never won the card but i keep placing in the top spots for almost a decade.

the one thing is that is for sure, never tell me "never" or "no" whenever i'm trying to achieve something. I will become that monster that will keep the eyes on the prize. I will picture myself while doing hiit on the treadmill winning that 1st place trophie. I will visualize myself in the gym 3:00-3:30 in the morning being the only sole who is crazy enough to be deadlifting 600lbs without a single person but the worker who is at the front desk who tells me "go get it, dave!!!" at the door.

I'm not sure about everybody else and they way they think, maybe i'm a different animal or wired differently but whenever something is going against the grain in my life, it only makes me stronger, angrier, determined, focus, driven. Those are the words that i can describe my feelings as i'm going into this fight or the "lions den". the thoughts just are either crazy or borderline crazy whenever i'm in the gym, focusing on the prize.

Anyways, i did hiit for an hour today after my weight training and i'm doing hiit again tonight, we are below the 70 day out from competition mark, so there's still plenty of time, 30 days out is whenever everything starts to get crazy. You want to eat the people standing in line at the grocery store, you have side blinders on as people at work are asking you about your meals, the little hits or low jabs from remarks don't bounce off like bee-bee's on a battle ship they are more like nuclear fuses waiting to be lit!

ok, enough of my soapbox, just need to express what's going on and perhaps writing it down can help me focus even more. I'm sure the wife all ready knows what kind of mode i maybe in for the next couple of months as her expression was pretty much the same as mine once we look at each other while getting this great news! :d i must rise to this challenge, i must believe, i must live today as it were my last!!!!


Again, sorry for the soapbox,

destroy them ski!!!!

Go Kill it Dave!

I've finally stopped letting the Dr's hold me back and started lifting again this week. Not sure I should be taking the chance since my neck is not healed and I still have no feeling in my right thumb but 8 months of this is too long for me to wait.

I was back up to 205lb and already dropped 5lbs of water weight this week.

Did this by getting up at 4 a.m. and in the gym by 4:30 a.m. doing cardio and lifting one body part each day. It sucks having to start off with weights that I used to throw across the room but know its the way to go to regain and not get injured.

Today I ran a 5k in one direction and then jalged (jog/walked) it back. I was practically dying cause it was Hot as Hell! When I got home the news said that no one should be out running today (oops). So now I am rehydrating with water.

Tomorrow I will hit the gym again at 4 a.m. and keep the slow process going.

In the end, I hope to be able to get back down to 185 -190 and have feeling in my right thumb again. As for the neck, we shall see. The docs all say it looks like someone took a baseball bat to it and shattered it to hell then tried piecing it back together.

Guess I will just show them that being healthy by eating right and exercising will overcome every time.

I wish you the best Lamelnik. Just don't kill yourself too much...a little is ok though.

Sorry to here of the annoyance but sounds like it's fueling/driving you even more to your goals/achievements! Which, IMO...is awesome!​

Ok I'm officially down 40lbs. Abs are starting to pop. I plan on at least another 6-10 lbs.

That is awesome.

Last night I went ahead and measured my body. I'm down 1-2 inches in certain areas. It's really nice to see.

Shoulder's/tri's today, 1st session of cardio. I hate that Gold's doesn't open til 5:00 a.m. on Mondays.

 

[BuffyGirl]

I did an extra long workout last night because I ate around 1500 calories alone at dinner time. Normally I do not do this but the food was soooo good. Went to the gym afterwords and burned off a bunch of calories and sweat my self to death. This morning's weight was .8 down from yesterday. I'll take it! I have 12 more lbs I want to shed. Then I want to tone it all up. So I'm on my way...just takes a while when you do it the right way.

Ski- heard about Z but was not sure if it was fake or not. Celltech+heart condition I heard. Still sucks to go out that young.

Really is such a shame.

Well on the up and up, I went ahead and did legs tonight (second session of weights today), I was thinking about doing the second cardio session but I killed legs so fast that I think that might of been enough cardio for tonight.

I told you judges, you just ignited the fire that is within me.

I'm gonna eat a ground turkey pizza tonight and then I bought some London Broil steak for the last meal before we do this all over again tomorrow.

See you in the morning Fitness Freaks Family

That's sad for that kid. He reminds of a young Frank Zane from back in the day.

Up and again

Chest and bi's with a session of cardio

Shoulder's/tri's today, 1st session of cardio. I hate that Gold's doesn't open til 5:00 a.m. on Mondays.

I miss the Gold's Gym in Venice Beach when I lived in the area. That one opened up at 4:00 am and it fit my schedule better. Now I have to sit in my car in the parking lot for 15 minutes until the gym opens at 5:00 am with the rest of the guys.

Just got back, yea I hate that, that's way late for my work schedule and to get anything else I want to do in the day pushed back.

This one is 24 hr throughout the week days, so GET as crazy as you want, plus I lived VERY close to the gym!

 

[Skiman]

My cam on my phone was having problems uploading early this morning maybe "it" wasn't awake yet?!

Steak for breakfast!!! (London Broil, very lean)

Food for the rest of the day!!!
