Week 7 – Part B

Yeah, what he said……….We mix it up to keep our muscles guessing and to keep it fresh…..4:30 am in the morning can get real old even after your body gets acclimated to waking at that crazy hour…..This new routine is about stepping out of your comfort zone and making a commitment of discipline and life change…Same goals, same [...]

Week 7: Just when you thought it was safe…

….to get accustomed to a workout, Chris and I have raised the bar higher. Much higher. Oh sure, B4L has been great, but frankly, IF you’re going to get your sorry ass out of bed every day, 6 days a week, between 4:30 & 5, why not REALLY make it hurt. And hurt, we did. 
Today [...]

Day ___: Can you tell I’ve been out of touch…

I may have been out of touch with the DAYS, but NOT with the WORKOUT. Heck no, we are ON! Just got back this week from The Solstice Film Festival where my indie Short Film, Poke The Sleeping Bear, won BEST SHORT! Yes!
As for working out; let me tell you something, if you get off [...]

Day 11 – Upper Body Routine

The following are the exercises I did this morning for my upperbody workout…Good workout..My goal was to work to total failure on each body part…For each body part, (chest, shoulders, back, triceps, and biceps) I did 5 sets increasing the weight each set while lowering the reps (12,10,8,6,and 12) and resting one minute between sets. On the [...]

Day 10 – Cardio

Today was solo cardio day since DT was off to St. Paul, MN to show his film at the Solstice Film Festival. I have to give out major congrats to my man DT, who works so hard at his passion/work….. to have it pay off big time being selected into Solstice. Big things are on the horizon for DT, you wait and see!!! Anywho, [...]

Day 7: Just Say Go!

Got a phone call very early this morning; it was Chris. He was barfing like a mad dog. He warn’t too happy. You know what that meant. Yep; off to the gym…solo. While he said, I have to GO (back to the head and barf my brains out); I had to say, Well, Davo, get [...]

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you want transformation? Or as DT puts it, “What are you willing to do today to reach tomorrow’s goal?, (or something like that)….I am learning more and more each day, each workout, that to reach this goal of 12 week transformation you have to pay the price and put in the work [...]

Day 4: Stretching is KEY

Today’s entry will be short and sweet. Just want to remind you other B4Lers (does that even sound right?) that when taking on a challenge such as this, please trust me and S-T-R-E-T-C-H. Stretching is KEY. If you don’t give your muscles some time to warm up, stretch and actually relax, and get the blood [...]

UPPER BODY WORKOUT DAY 3…..

For me, today was a great upperbody workout that started out NOT SO great. For starters, my 4:30 AM alarm/wake up call went off blasting in my ear enough to startle me to sit my fat rear up in bed. At that crazy hour, I thought to myself, “Dude, what are you doing? You are an idiot for getting up at this insane hour. Just crawl back [...]

Day 2: Piece Of Cake

Cardio. Treadmill. Getting better wind now. Feeling stronger in the legs. Pushed my numbers up a few digits. All in all, not a bad day. But tomorrow? Now, there’s a whole different story. Upper body. From 2 sets to 5. Oh yeah, didn’t I tell you that it’s GAME ON! This is not for little [...]
