Huge Beast – Day 48

My neocom tells me I slept for 7:57 minutes with 5 hours of that being deep REM sleep. Good stuff.

Pre-Workout drink = 500mg arginine, 1500 mg BCAA, 1500 mg tribulus. Arginine increases vascularity, and who doesn’t want that look of veins popping out from under the skin? BCAA, or branched chain amino acid is the building blocks of muscle growth. Never skimp out on these. As for Tribulus, it tells the brain to create testerone. Aside from the random erection throughout the day, it’s also essential for muscle development. Continue reading

Leave time means I get to sleep in. It’s a very welcome treat.

I fell like a primate. My arms are engorged. I can hardly get my shirt off in the change room. Good times.

Two minutes doesn’t feel like a long time to remain silent and give thanks for those that fell for our freedoms. I’m disgusted that those around me can’t even take that small amount of time in remembrance. I truly believe that those that don’t appreciate freedom do not deserve it.

Bulk Back. Still can’t do 3 sets of 10 wide grip pullups. Ok, who am I kidding? Still can’t do one set of 10 wide grip pullups. I am up to 160 lb lat pulldowns when I fail on each set, so that’s progress. I’ll get this. Continue reading

Bulk Legs. I know, you’re thinking same old, same old. The routines might be the same, but if you’re really doing it right, you’re steadily increasing the weights you use, pushing deeper into your form, and working hard with each and every rep. It’s a learning and growing experience every time. Continue reading
Roc’s Rule #468
If war is hell, be the devil.
Called Out
Having read that title you may be thinking I’ve been called out by another pilot for some egotistical display of ship vs ship combat. There is enough war going on to satiate any lust for killing. I have no need to justify myself to anyone.
No, this callout came via Double J, one of the people I have had the privilege of working with to better their lives.

Partnered up with Rob again. I’ve found having a partner has really accelerated my physical development. Motivation is a powerful thing. Bulk Chest, while brutal, was awesome. Weights went up. Tempo maintained. Form was excellent. I had a very “on” day. Continue reading

Huge Beast – Day 42

I was exhausted. There had been a great many things on my plate for quite a while. The war never ended. The corporation was consistently overbusy. The workouts were grueling. Romance in my life took effort as well. There were times when it just felt like there wasn’t enough of ol’ Roc to go around. I wasn’t motivated in the least to do this Bulk Shoulders workout. I easily could’ve just gone through the motions, but that was never my style. Continue reading
