Its about time for an update on the workouts with the pro...feel free to give us one at anytime....and you can hijack this thread, cause thats what it is for

**hercules88** · 03-22-2004, 09:26 PM

well coldstone here it is.... just want to say your looking big. good improvement from your last avatar of yourself. keep it up!!

not much has changed. we still lift 5 days a week mon thru fri. one muscle a day but calves get it 2 or 3 times a week. we usually do 4 to 5 exercises with 4 sets. reps are 15, 12, 12, 10, 8. there is no special lifts we have been doing. every session is different from the last. it has been a month now and no workout has been the same. for chest we rotate between bars and dumbells. back there are alot of different ways to row. just last week we did rows with dumbells like you do with a straight bar. that hurt. i felt muscles in my back burn that i never knew were there. over all my body is lovin it and combined with gear and a good diet i am statring to look good and im getting alot stronger.

thats over in april. he said he will go balls out in april. he also said that hes going to keep me as long as i can hang. i told him the only way your getting rid of me is if you put me in a wheel chair, and if you do ill still be there on arm day. he liked that one.

the best part of this deal s he treats me like a friend and not a trainee. but he kills me in the gym. one day we were at the end of chest day and doing dips. he did 12. what he does you have to do. just reps not weight. so i hopped up there and only could do 8. i hopped off got a sip of water. the whole time shawn was staring at me. then he said. i know you can count. and i only counted 8. i dont have anywhere to go, but your ass has to go to school so get up there and do them, we will be hear all day untill you fininsh. even though i could not do them i got up and was spotted for the final 4. he is rough. and that was the day i was so drained and torn up that i could not fully flex my chest for 5 hours after the workout. it was awsome.

all in all, the is the best opportunity i could have ever asked for and i am going to keep it up.

thanks fr the kick in the ass coldstone.

as a side not shawn let me hangout with him this saturday. he just picked up an excursion limo and he picked me up in it and drove around. then i went to his house met his wife, saw the house, and played some pool with him. he has a great house. really open and decorated nicely. then we went to the mall where shawn was to meet some guys there doing an infomercial for the creem, it was like an icy hot. so i got a massage from a hot chick and then went on camera to talk about the cream. it was cool. then the guys took us out to PF changs. that my favorite restaraunt. it was weird. i was totally treated like a superstar just for being there with shawn. he intorduced me as a his friend and his training partner. i liked it when i was introduced as his training partner. they just stared at me. then me him and his wife just walke around the mall lookin at stuff. it was a great day and shawn is a great guy. i feel like the luckiest person in the world sometime. thank darwin i moved to cali....

that's awesome herc...keep up the good (and hard) work!

**ColdSore** · 03-22-2004, 09:38 PM

that sounds awesome...**** your living a dream

thanks for the compliment on my growing...that pic was taken about 4 weeks after my last cycle...still not that big yet, but ill be their pretty soon

thats badazz that he jumps your azz like he does when you try to cheat yourself of reps...it almost sounds like hes working you more or less like a pt....does he like you, or do you jump his azz if hes wanting to stop, or does he never hit a point like that?

also, how are you growing?..that has to give you a big advantage over your previous cycle getting worked over like this?

have you gotten a chance to talk aas with shawn yet?

**hercules88** · 03-22-2004, 09:47 PM

he never has a problem getting in his reps, he will never do that because he knows i will give him ****. i have before and he is cool about it.

as for the cycle its going well. the first 8 weeks were ok. the dbol killed my appatite. then i bulked untill week 10 which was good gains, i could have done better. now i am cutting with 10 weeks left on the gear. the cutting is going great. ill have abbs by june...im about 15 % bf right now maybee lower. being on has helped me alot.

as for aas, shawn doesnt like to talk to much about them. he understands its apart of the game and he leaves it that. i told him i have tried them but not that im on. so i dont want to ruin a good thing so i just leave that subject alone especially with all the subpeonas flying around.

i have gottin considarably bigger, and with all the cutting i have been getting harder which aludes to a bigger apperance. all in all i coudnt be happier. i also found a doc that will perscribe cyp and GH. i just have to get the $ to get in.

i end the cycle at the end of april. and as soon as levels turn normal again im hoppin right back on because thats when shawn wil be going balls to the wall, and so will i.

**ColdSore** · 03-22-2004, 09:54 PM

sounds awesome...i cant belive he just "picked up a limo" to have for a saturday...

i wonder if he knows your "on" by the way your growing?

**ColdSore** · 03-22-2004, 09:55 PM

**rambo** · 03-23-2004, 06:52 PM

I may have tried to end your life several times, and I may wish horrible death upon you often, but really...

You've got a great thing going, and having a member on our board who is training with a pro reflects well on all of us.

Congrats, and you're right, Darwin must have been really good to you
