workout: 65lbs snatch with half lap sprints at 5 mile pace.. 4 times.

Im just tired. I have to study. Yesterday's concert was kind of cool but lame at the same time. Maybe I just don't like being squished between a whole bunch of drugged and drunk skinny people. ehhhh

SECOND by SECOND you lose the opportunity to be the person you want to be-- when are you going to stop making fucking excuses and take charge of your fucking life?

Workout: REST DAY! whoohoo! A little excited because my traps and lower back has been so sore lately!

Study: at the library.. going to study about 2 or more hours to make up for a night of drinking and concert-ing? Going to go watch the starfuckers concert on campus! I havent really gone to any concerts ... and never to one drunk.. I wonder what it will be like. Don't want to get too drunk, alcohol is bad for muscle building and I don't like it too much... contrary to how others may perceive me

personal:? so yesterday got my free haircut at headlines and co. Made good conversation with the owner as she cut my hair.. (she kinda did a horrible job). Nonetheless, I asked her for change so I could tip her, and she only had 10 dollars so I gave her a ten dollar tip. So pretty much paid for the haircut.. although im pretty sure she would have charged more though. haha, Ill post up pictures later.

Workout: 5x5 deadlift!

5x 265 did that twice.. then did 4x265 (getting too heavy or me being a bitch)

finished the rest of my two sets at 225

Study: hopefully after my haircut and state street, i can put in the two hours! Not too sure about today, a bit busy :( I'll see what I can do! Gotta do music homework too!

Personal: hmm made conversation with the biggest guy in the gym? Other than that, pretty boring.

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat

Why?

I realized I don't want to be like any one around me that I saw. In fact, I felt repulsed by half the people I saw and I decided that it is time that I take my "standards" and strive to become what I want to be. I want to be great.

Workout With Mike!

Did 5 sets of with 4 or 3 reps of 3 135lbs cleans with 6 pushups and 9 body weight squats.

I probably did it 4 cycles the first time and 3 for the other ones. I dead-lift, squat, front squat, and bench but I never cleaned before so Mike showed me the ropes. Mike is like a machine. One rep after another. It was so tiring. The cleans killed me. It took 100% of my energy. At one point I dropped it on my knee unable to lift it all the way up. During the last set I kept dead-lifting it instead of cleaning it. Very intense workout. However, I feel like it burned more fat than actually build muscle. Not sure what workout to follow. Should I start doing crossfit or my normal workout plan? Hmm

study: Going to get in an hour right now, then another hour after dinner then do an hour of working on my music homework!

Wrestling club? I promised Stephen I'd go with him yesterday so I guess I'm going. I am so sore though. I'll take it easy.

Personal: Still the same, making an effort though.

I believe that a person is defined by the promises he makes to himself. If you cannot keep a promise to yourself then you cannot promise anything to anyone.

5/1/2012

Bit silly that I do these the day after considering the post date is off. Either way, I will refer to it as today just as if I am now in 5/1/2012

So today I definitely got in more than 2 hours of studying. Applied to a couple of internships as well. Not sure about where the internships will be going but my studying seems to be doing pretty well. As far as personal improvement? I'm continuously trying to find ways to help other people .. not the people I know, but the people I do not know.

Tomorrow, I workout with mike haha.

4/30/2012

235 Bench - 9, 9, 8 (Last couple reps destroyed me, almost came close to collapsing)

185 bench - 8, 7, 6 (need a spotter, could have done much more reps)

80 one arm rows- 10, 10, 10 (I lose a bit of form every time I go higher in weights)

hanging leg raise 10, 10 ( I was being a little bitch and didn't want to do more)

STUDYING?

The Personal?

nothing out of the ordinary. But maybe thoughts of becoming better will soon come out in improvements in demeanor. :)

3 years

I have over three years in a unique environment where I don't have to worry about working and supporting myself. Therefore, I will use this time to dedicate my time into turning myself into the person I want to be.

- academics = dedicate 2 hours a day. Just two small hours a day in studying.

- fitness= dedicate 2 hours three times a week. (weekly weight or picture)

- personality= work on being more loving, accepting, nice, passionate, strong, courageous, etc.

- vices= participating in drinking or smoking should add one extra hour to my daily studying.

I believe that just that much. Just that tiny fraction of a time that I dedicate on my academics daily would change my grades drastically. I will post updates on this regularly!
