I’m not really doing anything interesting enough to post. Right now I am trying to get back in shape to take another run at playing Semi-pro in the spring. If I drop 20 pounds and can get in decent enough shape I will play again. I am using CT Get Jacked Fast with some minor mod’s. It has allot of GPP and it will trim me down to be faster.
Also I just wanted to shoot the shit with some old friends… 
Way to go Colin. I knew you couldnt stay away from the game
Charlie Brawn in da house! Where’s Loosey, your girlfriend?
Glad to have you back.
I believe you’ll put the pads back on and rock some pups world. Take it easy, put the headphones on and start on the road to the gridiron. Forget about the weight, it’s more to love. We’re all here pulling for you.
Looking forward to watching your progress. You’ve got some balls trying to get back into full contact football. I can’t imagine running full speed into someone your size. Good luck Colin.
Hey thanks for the vote of confidence guys, I appreciate it! I just still like knocking heads with people and I think it would take me a long time to get into the MMA thing (Plus they would try and hit my Pretty Face, lol)
Today week 3 - All sets done with 75 seconds between the 1st and 2nd set
A1 - Bench Press 225x7, 250x5, 275x3 *Was too light next Chest day I will go 250, 275, 315
A2 - Preacher Curls 65x7, 85x5, 105x3 * This was about right had to pull hard at 105
B1 - Incline DB 65x10, 70x8, 80x6 *Was to light could possibly jump these 75, 85, 100
B2 - Reverse Preacher Curls 45x10, 55x8, 65x6 *too light again but no by much, they tweak the shoulder
C1 - Decline Flies 3x12@40 *This really hurt my right shoulder even at the lower weight
C2 - Hammer Curls 3x10@50 (Per Arm) *Good weight
30 minutes on a treadmill 3.6 Rate 7% Incline
This was allot of fun for me. Totally different than what I had been doing. Feels good to be back with my Boys in the over 35 section!
Buddy! Where ya been? Good to have you back around these parts.
I been lurking around, lol. I was coaching up my son in youth football and my training been really spotty so I am trying to take control of it again!
How does the shoulder feel benching? A lot of bad shoulders been going around here lately. My left doesn’t like to bench anymore.
How’s the other boy doing? He home now? And I still have dreams of you hittin the big 500.

Dammit Colin, you know the drill. What music were you listening to and what was your mood
Glad to have you back. How is the shoulder treating you? It took mine quite a while to feel right. When will your son be coming back from the sandbox, if he hasn’t already?

Good to see you back around Colin, wondered what you’ve been up to. I’m kinda just lurking around right now, got some injury issues, not doin’ anything worth posting. I know you love playing ball, you’ll be good as ever in no time!
Sorry Brothers! I really should have started with the updates:
Son, back from Iraq and in his last 4 months as a Soldier. He plans to move to Jacksonville, use his GI bill, and play some college football. He is doing really well now but had some problems adjusting to life back in the States (Fighting and Drinking and what not) but he is excited to be finishing up his time.
Shoulder, still bothers me allot. It clicks & pops and generally hurts like hell, pressing movements mostly during lift off and when the set is done. I can work around it if I stick to a certain plane of movement and I am really careful with it. Doc hit it with Cortisone and told me I could do an MRI if I wanted but basically if something hurts it I shouldn’t do that, like I am going to listen to that advice…
Football, I need to see if my feet will hold up. Running just kills them. If I can build up a tolerance to pain in my feet I will probably try and play again. If not I will go back to Power lifting or MMA or something.
I picked this training plan because I needed something structured that I didn’t have to think about to get started. It is a 12 week plan and hits the gym 6 out of 7 days and I all I have to do is follow it and not try and screw up CT’s good work. Once this is done I will have reformed my good gym habits and can switch up to something else!
So Today…
Music - Just had the IPOD on scramble which can lead to some pretty dumb songs in the middle of lifts
Mood - Psyched to be back at it 3 weeks in a Row with out missing any days!

Finished with some agilities, 10 yard sprints from a 3 point stance, 5 yard sprints from a 4 point.
15 minutes in the Hot tub!
CW- That is some healthy “return” to lifting #s. And the 30/30 elliptical is a killer…I only have the courage for 20/40’s and I hope the heart rate monitor thingy is way off or my doctor is going to shoot me. Good luck to your boy as he returns to civilian life…and thanks to him for his service.

Good training, inspite of no Ipod. When I forget mine, I’m thrown all out of whack
Nice Work Barry!
