[TNA]

Another great one Tim. #smileycool2ks# Sick super set buddy - Lat raises AND bradford presses? My god man, I'm hurting just thinking about it!! #bpressingsmiley9yk#

[Tim Wescott]

Thanks guys...........just about running on empty right now!!

Decided to increase cals,fats,and carbs today to just fill out a bit and to feel halfway human again.....nothing extreme but after so many low and no carb days.......I needed to eat.

The gym was nearly empty so I decided to get a little creative...sorry that I did.........we`re talking friggin` pain!!!!!! #flamingsmiley3zp#

No rest between exercises, except to just walk as fast as possible to the next exercise.

I was only gonna` do two cycles, but my arms looked so impressive (to me anyway), I decided to endure one more cycle...................had no blood in my brain,but my arms looked ready to pop!!

Did these on the GHR machine.......set it up so that I was literally hanging upside down off the end of the machine........kinda` like using the old gravity boots they used to sell......kind of!!



Cardio:
45 minutes walking on inclined treadmill.

I have no clue how I managed to finish cardio...........after 30 minutes,it was literally a minute at a time!!

Walked out of there feeling like I had gone to friggin` war!

90 minutes total gym time!!

Terry........I`M KILLING ME TOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #helpsmiley3sh#

I just hope to place top 5...........5th. place would be suffiicient.

I have done this show 3 times previously and it gets tougher every year.

Since I don`t train on weekends (only due to the car,or I would) I`m doing one more high carb/cal/fat day today,2 very low carbs Sat & Sun,then depleting for three days, (probably zero carbs with just water), leaving Thurs.,and carbing up until Sun.,the day of the contest.

The contest is on a Sunday which kinda` screws me up,but no biggie.

They have it on a Sunday every year......have no clue why!!

You are like Jen. She is known as a monkey at the gym. I turn around and there she is hanging upside down from something by her feet, doing upside down abs like Franco, but with no boots.

Also. Brutal workout Tim

I didnt look at the training journal section this week until now, so i had a lot of posts to reed… and let my just say that you guys made me laugh a lot on the page 16 of Tim's journal ;D hehe you are crazy! But something was even more shocking than those funny posts… and i'm talking about the INTENSITY of Tim's training ! Wow… i cant see how you would not be ready for your contest with those workouts… oh yea, i guess that if you eat cakes and pizzas non stop until the show, those great workouts wont save your a$$ ;D Good job Tim, this is inspiring… i want to go to the gym right now!!! (too bad it's my day off from the gym today )

TIM! TIM! TIM!
