2-A-Days



Tonight I embark on something that I never fathomed. I am going to attempt to take my working out to a whole-notha-level. I am going to start doing 2-A-Days, which in layman terms means that I will be going to the gym twice in one day.

Well, for the last month or so, I really feel like I haven't been doing enough working out when I am at the gym so I think that I can do more by going twice a day. I work swings so its not so much of a timing issue. I'll be getting up to go to the gym at 7, and again that evening around 11. I just feel a need to get more cardio in than I normally do.

Right now my workouts consist of cardio for 45 minutes then 6 different lifting exercises. By going in the evenings I hope to double my cardio and get a few more lifts done.

Sure, I'll be tired, but in the long run, I think it will be really beneficial. I hope to lose another 20+ lbs on top of the 50+ plus that I've taken off already. According to the BMI I am still obese, and I'll admit, theres some fat that really shouldn't be there, but damnit I'm OBESE??? No freakin way!! All of those rollie pollie people that I see at wal-mart are obese, all of the lard-buckets that I see piling into the buffets are the obese people.

By those standards, are you going to tell me that guys like Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman are obese?!? Hell no! According the BMI chart, even Arnold was obese by their standards.

I was looking at what a suitable weight on the BMI chart was and it was near 180lbs. There's no way in hell i think i'll ever be at a weight like that. As long as I continue weight training, it'll never happen.

I dont know about you but I would rather be obese with plenty of muscle than be a normal weight chump. Oh man, have I gotten off topic...anyways I look forward to the chance to work my ass off late at night, I just hope that its not terribly busy at that time of the night...

The best thing about this is that now, when I get home from work, instead of sitting on my ass in front of the TV waiting to be tired, I will actually be physically tired! Hooray for me! The worst part about it is that I will have even less time next to the woman that I love at night. Even though she's asleep, its just nice to be in the same room with her, sharing the same air, spening as much time with her as possible.

Well as the old bodybuilding saying goes, no pain...no gain, I guess we all have to sacrifice at times. Thankfully all my sacrifice is only time. Catch you all next time.

EDIT: Tried to make it last night...but I guess I wasn't properly motivated. That and my contacts had finally dried out.
