deep hibernation
wakikikikikiki!!!
Martin Lawrence did that.. Blue Streak, remember?
i'm sooooo raring to go wax it up in the gym, hommie!
i dream about it.. i kept thinking about it.. when i eat, drive, work, watch TV, etc.. etc..
gotta stick to the plan though.
it's funny my joints are creaking up again like the last time i took a break.. loosening up, i guess..
they'll be fine come game time...
these videos are my inspiration...
Weighted Dips
Weighted Pull-ups
should fuel more of my desire to kickass in my new gym... GGGrrrrrrr!!!

just chillin'
so i went to my former gym(yet again) today.. got some orders to deliver.. i've been selling some supplements there and it's only lately that things are starting to pick up.. heeee! just when i'm about to leave them.. the instructor slash gym manager slash coach slash my favorite spotter - had been my biggest client so far.. practically bought most of my stuff.. from BCAA's to amino, fish oil, calcium/magnesium, etc... sold some of my stuff in other gyms too!
he buys from me cheap and then sells 'em to the members.. i don't have to sell my stuffs to the members.. he profits a little here and there.. in short, everybody's happy.
sales was brisk, by the way..
Benito, the assistant coach told me my due is up.. i said, "i'm taking a month rest, dude.."
"really? why?"
"got some shoulder pain to deal with... need to heal up." i said.
he wouldn't believe me.. most of the guys there won't. me, taking a break is next to impossible for them.. they saw me work my ass there and grind like hell.. whilst everyone who had been earlier can't break a sweat, i'm already perspiring profusely with just a few minutes of warm-ups and lifting..
one bummer happened though... a guy who had a history of shoulder injury, re-injured his right shoulder again.. damn, he was the flavor of the hour.. they have to hurriedly ice his shoulder cos he can't move it.
his instruction to Benito was to rid of all shoulder exercises.. hhmmmm.. how do you do that? every move you make requires some shoulder movement.. even if you're squatting or doing leg work you still need to move your shoulders when you're putting weights on the bar or machine..
anyhoo, he did lat pulldowns and that's when he got stuck in the middle.. even with the most minimal weight, he still injured his shoulder.. tough luck, i guess.
saw him wincing in pain as they frantically put some ice on his shoulder.. that was the first time i witness somebody getting hurt like that.. shet, just when i'm about to leave you guys, you startin' to act up like that?
i'm fortunate enough (or some angel's watching me) to not suffer the same fate as that poor guy considering how hard and heavy i do my thing there..
hopefully not in the near future wherein i'm about to tackle even more bigger challenges... may the good Lord take care of me...
7 days more to go before i unleash everything out.. again!

bad.. bad.. bad..
i'm having digestive problems.. damn that late night binge on food and alcohol..
and the damned brandy too!
we had a great time.. hoo-hum.. blah-blahs..
my buddy came by.. went with my officemates at some videoke joint.. had our own "mini-concert" as the night wore on.. the best part of 'em all of course is the part when my pal shared his FR (if you don't know what FR means, tsk, tsk.. bad luck for you, bud) about this textmate/s of his.. damn, his persistence and better use of his down time (read: idle) proved fruitful.. he's on his way of bedding most of 'em.. he already had one last week!
there was even one who texted around 12am that she's just nearby.. he may wanna "come" over.. some lucky guy, huh?
he's definitely good at engaging them to talk about sex (or is it the other way around, bud, right?) he had me read some of their messages and boy was i having a hard on, ey?
"love you's" were thrown like hot potatoes in between them.. nice goin' there buddy.. i'm soooo envious, mate!
i mean here i am grinding my ass in the gym for hours.. lifting the heaviest i can, growing as much muscle i can muster, yet i can't find my way to a girl's undies.. my buddy, uhm, he's not muscular and all.. he's neither big or small.. yeah right, in between... but he's good with words, tell ya that.. girls, ladies, women out there, watch out for this guy.. he he he!
these days, his priced possesion is his two cellphones.. he'd go crazy if they'd go bonkers (read: low battery to dead).
***
meanwhile, i've cleaned out my closet last Saturday at my former gym.. didn't say goodbye's or anything.. i'm sure i'll be back.. but not after a year.. i'm on a mission in this new gym.. i'll swept all of that dumbbells (push and pull 'em) before the year ends.. ambitious? very. in fact, it's bordering impossible. they have a 120 pounder dumbbells.. i'd probably warm up at 50 then work my way up.. initially, i'd probably reach between 80-90 pounds.. that's my modest assesment.. or i couldn't... considering the break i'm talking, i could lose some of my strength along the way.. i hope not.
another mission would be to do weighted chins, pullups and dips... i'll go wherever my strength leads me.. i have a better chance of realizing this goal in the new gym cos their equipment utilizes thinner bar.. meaning, i can grip 'em better.. hold on to them longer and distribute the use of my strength (hands, fingers and forearms) to other muscle group.. well, before i jump ship i actually tried performing them and dang, t'was a breeze, homs!
lets hope this break don't end up with more drinking and eating binge.. gotta focus on the GOAL at hand... wish me luck.. i need it soooo BAD!

farewell massacre
time to chill...
got a whole week to rest, relax and recreation... this break is better than the last time wherein i had to get off the gym because of a nagging pain/injury.. now it's pretty cool as i was swingin' wall-to-wall on my exit..
definitely, i'll visit my mates there once in a while.. i gotta.
it's actually timely that i opted to move out NOW cos new gym-membership in there had been swelling like hell! like new faces come in everyday, mate... kinda crazy if you think about it, but it's good that a lot of people are now taking care of their bodies... it's also worth mentioning that they are one of the cheapest if not the cheapest of 'em all in terms of monthly fee..
i reckon, it'll be different in the new gym... new equipments to learn.. new faces to meet.. new weights to surmount.. new rules to abide.. new environment to adapt..
well, we'll all be familiarizing with each other.. expect a rude awakening when the time comes... i'm ready to hustle, babe!
the entry plan: i'll get in and leave my ego at the door.. i'll be completely naive.. ignorant.. i'll let them walk me through.. i will listen.. i will hear.. i'll absorb everything.. i won't react, but i would respond.. heck, i'll even play coy..
when the smoke clears, and i mean when everything's done and over with - the whole nine yards of setting everything out, it's time to get down to business.
now, i didn't went there cos "i love the place" or there's plenty of hotties everywhere.. or the people smells better.. or it's "clean.." or people there seemed high-hat.. elites and whatnot..
to socialize and be "IN" with those darn high-society climber gang>> no friggin' way...
it'll be all business.. and it'll be like that for one whole year.. yep, i enrolled for one good year since they offered me a discounted price.. like half of what they normally offer on regular days.. t'was a promo price, homs.
still, the price is twice the amount of my former gym.. what's good about paying a tad higher is you get a better quality overall... like the place, equipment, people, yadi-yada...
and especially the people.. not too crowded anymore as what Tina told me.. well, i was there once and dang, just a handful of people were there, mate!
good if you're a wimp lifting puny weights.. bad if you're lifting hard and heavy.. you could get stucked with a bar over your neck and no one's gonna help you.. you moron!!
anyway, gotta hold back the excitement.. enjoy the break.. map out a new program... anticipate a li'l bit... and be physically and mentally prepared when the day comes..
***
wifey wants us to get married -- in the church.
she's soooo determined to be "blessed" that she's willing to do it even on a mass wedding!!
now, i don't really mind going through that whole married thingy even massacre style.. y'know, being intimate with the other 49 couples, and altogether in chorus saying "I Do's.."
that would be great.. a sight to see, yeah?
and did i mentioned it's free? yep. free wedding ring, costumes, make-up, video, etc..
ALL IN!
ABS-CBN will sponsor and cover it.. great! the best!
from fitting the suites and gowns, to taking the necessary seminars, etc.. they'll cover you.. like you're in a reality show.. instant fame, eh?!
no fucking way!! there i said the dreaded word.
i'll do that no problem, but minus the circus please... it's not even solemn anymore with 50 couples swearing their love and loyalty "til death do us part.." in unison with each other.. and you have to "dramatize" the whole event s'more? i'd rather put a bullet in my head than go through that.. seriously.
and what's with 08.08.08 anyway? why are soooo many people getting married and excited on that day?? you guys are sooooo.. duh!
i better go check my lottery ticket.. i bet my hard earned 100 bucks yesterday.. i might have won the jackpot!

emo time
this week's the last hurrah for my current gym... i'm goin out with a bang!
though i tried in earnest to keep it low.. as in being unnoticed and invisible, most of my mates there just can't keep their eyes off when i'm lifting.. what's a 330lbs deadlift, anyway? you should watch Dave Tate or Kara Bohigian squat and military press that weight, respectively, and you'll be blown away!
geez, i'll miss the convenience of pulling anyone of my mates to spot me on my heavy lifts.. the usual chatters.. the jokes... the friendship.. the respect i earned.. i know now what it means when people say you can't demand respect, you earn it.. it was a long road to get here, but i can't stop now.. i'm gonna aim higher.. no, not that respect thing.. it's something personal that i know in my heart i can attain..
shet, i'm being emo again.. better go now.. more on this "farewell tour" in the days to come...
ciao!

moving out
sealed and stamped.
yeah, it's official, i'm moving out.
i will miss my pals out there.. uhm. my fans too!
i have pretty much build a good following there.. they'd say "here comes the powerlifter!" or "Hulk Hogan!" and the usual stares got me smilin' when i'm done with my sets... and i'd often tell them "nah, it's not really heavy.. just takes a lot practice.."
i don't like the attention though. i always preferred goin there low profile.
and now i will be living the gym that helped build and mold me this way... of course, i was always self-taught 99% of the time, but i did pick up some useful learning along the way..
***
more on this later, homs.

a new challenge on the horizon...
ola!
dang this new system of ours.. keeps rebooting.. freezes all of a sudden.. shuts down on its own.. friggin challenging, tell you that!
some websites are either blocked or the settings had been altered.. mine's speaker had been "circumcised" so now i won't hear nothing.. you gotta love how they do it here, eh?
no nightlife so far.. i wanted to hang out but i guess i'm gonna have to wait for my buddy to arrive.. the workouts had been stellar.. so stellar and eye-catching that i'm 99% of the time wiped out when i'm done!
anyway, felt like a "freak" in there lately.. some guys just can't stop staring when i'm doin' my lifts.. they've been taught the primitive ways thus they're stuck with the same weight since their last gain.. what's the problem, hommie, can't add a few pounds no more??
plateaud forever??
but comparing my lifts to the guys at bodybuilding forums and you'll see how puny they're actually are... if this beach boys just try to do some reading and research and not rely on what had been taught by those skinny "instructors" who'd been "lifting" all their life, yet never added and inch of size to their frame.. that alone should give them a rough idea they're being taught some guileful ways on the get-go.
i rest my case.
Rey had been an ass lately.. he is obviously insecured. just saw him stared intently at me while i went down to squat 290lbs yesterday. i could have gone to 300 or more but i stop there cos i felt a little tired from the other day's session.. why he's being in ass, you ask? he's been teasing me.. y'know, take me out of my game.. that i should join a contest since i've been lifting hard... and what's the point to all of that.. blah.. blah.. blah.. he's been the one accused by an old fart gym-member to be on roids and he's turning the table on me as i, apparently am catching on him, strength-wise... y'know, calling me around, in jest of course, "roids!" and that's what i call him too, by the way.. returnin' some favor..
some people would actually believe that shit considering my lifts look "extraordinary" to ordinary mortals.. they'd probably think "you can't lift that heavy if you're ain't on something..."
right.
WRONG!
of course you can, moron. do away with those chicken-shit curls and kickbacks and do some serious compound exercises --- first!
not the other way around.
Rey's calves looked like that of a supermodel.. ha ha!
it's been like that since i first saw him, yet this "bodybuilder" had been lifting for years.. he usually works his calves first.. hard and heavy all the time, homs.
and i'm wondering why he can't grow it.. his upper body is pretty huge yet his calves/legs looked like the knees of a horse.. seriously, man.
unfortunately, he hasn't change his routine, thus, no matter how heavy he puts them to, they ain't growin one bit.
of course, i can't go and teach old dogs new tricks now, can i? especially in his case. not when we're in a "i'm the veteran here and you're just a noob" situation. and oh, the pride, mate.. you should consider that.. so, i let him be.. but i know he'll be watching me eat more iron than him.. but that won't be for long.. it's the perfect time to move out!
good thing, i tried another gym a few days ago.. they've got heavier dumbbells, plenty of cable equipments, safer machines, better pullup bar, easy on the shoulder parallel dip, sauna, shower room (i won't stink anymore.. haha!) and a whole lot of amenities.. boy, looking forward to having a ball there..
i don't hold an ounce of grudge on Rey.. in fact, i'm happy i've known him.. he still taught me a few tricks.. but when i got really close to his size and strength, he got shaken.. i mean, "whoa! i thought i'm the strongest here? the guru.. the respected?" then i came along.. i don't mind that if it happens to me.. i mean, someone out there will always be better than you.. more hungry.. more focus..
someday...
it's a fact.. a reality.. accept it.. embrace it.. it's a vicious cycle - you and i have no control over..
deal.
now, i'm hungry.. for food, that is!
dang this new system of ours.. keeps rebooting.. freezes all of a sudden.. shuts down on its own.. friggin challenging, tell you that!

i don't hold an ounce of grudge on Rey.. in fact, i'm happy i've known him.. he still taught me a few tricks.. but when i got really close to his size and strength, he got shaken.. i mean, "whoa! i thought i'm the strongest here? the guru.. the respected?" then i came along.. i don't mind that if it happens to me.. i mean, someone out there will always be better than you.. more hungry.. more focus..
someday...
it's a fact.. a reality.. accept it.. embrace it.. it's a vicious cycle - you and i have no control over..
deal.
now, i'm hungry.. for food, that is!

Shift
i wanna sleep!!
waaaaahhhh!!!!
tired and overtrained from yesterday's session/s.
i went to "test drive" the gym my officemate, Tina, is a member of.
NICE!
it's like apples and lemons if you compare it to my current gym. the place has a very nice ambience, the people, lets just say they smell better.. haha! and the equipments? whoa!! i love it there, mate.. superb, to say the least.
i guess i have outgrown my current gym.. pretty much done everything there.. swept all the dumbbells (from the lightest to the heaviest), racked up most plates in most machines.. got all the raves from vets to noobs (y'know, the ooohhhss and the aahhhhsss, the unusual starings etc.), gained respect (yep, it's nice to have one in there especially if you work and bust your ass hard) shet, it's getting less challenging, to be honest.
thus, now i feel i need to bring my "A" game somewhere else where it'd be more challenging, things will be like "new" again, loads of techniques to learn and lotsa girls waiting, err, i mean, new equipments to de-virginized.. haha!
i got about three weeks to decide.. after my gym due, i'd take a week break to rest and deload.. think things over..
though it's a little pricey, it's worth every penny..
but nothing's final yet 'til the fat lady farts.. lol!
***
my buddy, Boyet, is coming over from NJ. i remembered the last time we had "fun," we morning the night away!
tell you what, i can only count with my two hands the number of real friends i have.. i probably have hundreds of "friends..." and they all come and go.. it's not the number, homs, it's the quality of friends.. those who'd stand by you no matter what.. who'll never desert you whether you're up or down..
that, to me, matters more than anything else.
so, to all my friends out there, reel or real, i am your friend forever.. no matter what...
i think i'm gonna cry now..

i don't care.
yeah, lemme repeat that.. i don't care.
feels good not to give a rats on someone you thought you'd care about.. you feel me?
but geez.. i dunno.. i'm not that bad..
i try to be...
whatever.
here's a song..
for me!!!
***
this week's rundown...
monday was a hard one.. damn, when did i choose the easy road, eh?
i always try to finish these bodypart routines in a day - chest, shoulders, upper-back, triceps... then i have to break it all down to mini exercises.. i know, i know.. you don't get the picture.. quit figuring it out already!
remember, ignorance is bliss.
tuesday was worst. though not in flying colors, i made it through.
wednesday - OFF.
thursday's grind was a tad easier.. or NOT. rey was there to provide me with his usual off-tangent teasing.. anyway, he just shut-up when i stop reacting..
friday, i had to deviate from my usual routine.. damn, somebody beat me to the squat rack.. well, there's always the equally brutal deadlift.. off i went.. then squat later.. not too cool arrangement for me.. i felt tired and stiff when i got to the heavy part..
***
in between those days, i managed to go out with friends.. took a day's leave and pretty much rest my ass..
as i've mentioned before, i don't like going out on weekdays.. not when i'm soooo tired and ready to crawl on my way home.. but off i went.. i gotta..
anyway, long story short, we ended up in this bar.. i didn't wanna go there.. promise.
not only was i wearing my dorky uniform and my faded shirt, i had a sweatful early on and i probably didn't smell anywhere near 'good.' ok, i stink! happy now?
and this buddy of mine, of all the days we go out, he just felt the need to "table" some girls.. now, it's just both of us there but he took three ladies.. damn!
i'm not being a 'killjoy' but i just didn't have "it." y'know, the "mojo" to mix it up with 'em.. catch my drift?
he ordered more beers like he just won in the lottery!
damn, i'm so stressed out thinking of the bills we're gonna pay later.. 'til the alcohol kicked in.. i felt relax and was ready to play dirty... muhahahaha!!!
anyway, we did pay more than i expected (we originally planned to just drink two beers and flee) and things did went nasty as the night wore on...
it was fun alright but i ended up goin' home early... early in the morning!
to think i wasn't in my best that night... oohhhh.. the what if's....
and did i mentioned he paid all the bills?
the dude must've won the lottery, yeah?
***
by the way, my officemate Tina is aiming for this bod right here..
good luck!

the rundown
yesterday was "Annihilation Day." i pretty much did got annihilated in the gym... but it's all worth it. why? i'll tell you later, alligator.
my buddy Earl texted my earlier last night.. we'd go hang around somewhere. good thing wifey went to Bohol to attend to her uncle's wake.. yes, another one bites dust. another acquaintance also died last week.. suicide. apparently he's been having trouble with his work and personal stuff.. he's been putting a brave front all this time only to take his life away -- by hanging!
good luck for both you, err, i mean, bless your souls.
shifting back, i had a standing invites from the Sales crew that we'd go videoke or just have a beer or something after our Award's night. it was planned days ago, but when my buddy texted, without a doubt, i went with my "crew" and ditch what could have been a "fun" nightout with the rest of my colleagues.. yeah, ladies and gents, homs.
anyway, t'was a nice getaway.. we went bar hopping and enjoyed the last bar we set our foot on.. so much dancing.. lotsa sexy bods.. gyrating all over the place.. hot ladies all over our corner... just a nice a place to party.
finally, we ended up in a place where you wouldn't wanna know what happened.. ha ha!
got home around 4am... no regrets though.. i definitely could use the breather.
well, they had "fun" last night, i was told.. just dunno which one was more fun.. your guess is as good as mine, babe.
weekend, here i come!

tina tina tina!!!
must've been hard for her. Tina, my officemate. she's been called FAT a number of times.. not funny being called like that.. i should know.. good thing about being BIG these days is that i don't have a bulging stomach. my "meat" is well and evenly distributed all over.
her dilemma, she's having trouble working out and her supposed partner has been slacking this early... like she's gotten off the gym for days now. worst, her gym, a super hyped-up center that boasts of great equipments and amenities wouldn't give her a simple program to follow... of course, they'll do if she forks out three more grand on top of her monthly due, otherwise, she's on her own.. how cunning, ey?
this early, her struggle with her partner, the what-to-do program, her constant cravings and her choices of food, her need to be pushed to do her thang, and loads of shit coming her way spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
in fact, it could lead to failure if she can't keep it all together.
personally, i would like her to succeed.. really.
she'd be their poster girl come what may.
fingers crossed.
