Light Weight

This weekend was pretty sick. As expected, Term and ST. killed it Friday night at their concert. I had a chance to meet all of ST. and I got to say they are all pretty chill with each one bringing a different talent and style to the group. Keep an eye out for these dudes: Easy Money, Clip One, Hectic, Ghetto, Stalion, and Snuk.

I got a pretty light day for clients today so I am going to try taking advantage of that and relax when I have the oppurtunity.
Tonight, for my lone client, I am training Term. I got to make sure I kick his ass with the little time I have this week before he goes and films his video with Bun B.

As for my training, I still feel like somebody severely beat my hamstrings and lower back with a baseball bat. I have been focusing on rack deadlifts (knees up) for the past few months, but on Saturday, I decided to go back to deadlifting off the floor.
Lets just say that my numbers were SEVERELY effected and my ego took a big hit. Here is how it looked:

Deadlifts: 5x5
315 x5
365 x5 (there was NO way I was going to be able to pull this for three more sets, so I dropped back down to 315)
315 x5
315 x5
315 x5

Yup, 315 was all I was able to pull. It used to be my warm up pull. So now I am going to be focusing on bringing my dead back up.

Leg extension:3 sets
170 x 20
170 x 18
170 x 20

Seated Calf Raises:4 sets
3 plates used for each set (SUPER slow eccentric, fast concentric)

Short and sweet session. Took me about 40-45 minutes to complete.

Nutrition on a budget:

As was promised, I am going to go over how you can follow a great nutritional program with out breaking your bank open.
One of the biggest excuses I get from people in the gym is that they just cannot eat right no matter how hard they try. The other excuse is that it is too expensive for them to follow such a plan.

Here is my response: SUCK IT UP!!!

Who said it would be easy to stick to a nutrition plan? Do you think I like to eat the same foods day in and day out? Dont you think I would LOVE to be able to eat all the good tasting shit they offer these days?

Its called SACRIFICE. You want to lose that beer gut? Quit drinking beer. You want to lose that extra ten pounds but just dont want to give up your chocolate? Quit eating chocolate.
Im not saying you have to be the strictest eater in the world, but whatever your goal is, your eating habits should be helping you, not hindering you.

As for the money part, I get my weekly groceries from a meat market. I am sure there are ones located in your area that supply fresh, unprocessed foods. Anyways, the key to a low grocery bill is the word: BULK. If you buy a good amount of chicken or beef in bulk there is a good chance you are going to save some money.

My list usually looks like this:
- 6 1/2 lbs of 93% lean beef
- 7 assorted peppers (red, green, yellow, orange)
- 1 bag of red skin potatoes
- 6 dozen eggs
- A few cans of tuna

This puts me around $40-$50 a week and allows me to get my usual 7-10 meals in a day. I also include 1-2 shakes a day but that part is up to you and your choice of protein. Just think, $40-$50 dollars is 7 super sized meals at McDonalds, or ONE night out to eat. SACRIFICE!!!

My rant is done, so here is the video of the day:
