School started monday. Classes are College Algebra, General Chemistry (Lab and Lecture), and Humanities… Plus football thrown in there, pretty busy schedule! Book prices are crazy like always…
Been doing the normal routine latley, but now football meetings are at 3:15, followed by 4-6 practice Tuesday-Thursday. Friday walkthroughs, Saturday Games. Monday is film. Sundays off.
I got bumped up in the depth chart again today (FINALLY!!!). It’s about damn time. I’m not letting anyone take my spot now, and now I’m after the 2nd group spot…
Weights on Monday: Deadlifts (Sumo) 1 x 4 (320), 2 x 4 (365) Incline BB Press 3 x 5 (205), 1 x 3 (215) Lat Pulldowns : 4 x 8 45 Degree Weighted Hypers (35 Lb.) : 3 x 10 DB Hammer Curls 3 x 8 (40’s) Abs ~ 100
Im glad I’m finally getting some respect out there… Long overdue. (IMO )
Thanks bud. I’m feelin good about everything right now, all I have to do now is take advantage of every oppurtunity given to me and things will only get better!
Scrimmage this weekend went well. We dominated both sides of the ball. I had one catch on a WR screen that I took for 13 yards. Felt pretty good, but would’ve been better if I hadn’t tripped over my damn feet in the open field! ARGH Did well on stalk blocks, routes, etc…
Game week 1 this week. We play Mendocino College at Home this weekend at 1. CAN’T WAIT!

Feelin good. Damn quad is still bothering me. Hope to make some good plays this weekend.
Pretty decent day of practice today after our win this weekend. I got more reps than usual today, so that’s always good. I felt really fast today, quad didnt bother me much at all. Good sign again.

Been trying to focus on eating much better, including more veggies, fruits, and lean protein into the diet. So far it’s been going well I’ve been sticking to it pretty good. Been getting AT LEAST my bodyweight in protein per day, plus at least 3-4 servings of veggies and 3-4 servings of fruit on top of everything else; striving for 3000+ calories/day at the minimum
Also using some basic supplements as of late:
Fish Oil, Creatine Mono (3-5g/day), GROW! Whey, and Glutamine on intense days.
Thanks, Bert. I’ll try to look into a greens product. I actually have been for a while but never gotten around to it. Thanks for for the tips! Always appreciated.
Unfortunatley I only have one catch for 11 yards on the year… Oh well, hope to have more soon!
Weights today (9/12/06)
Deadlifts 1 x 4 (320), 2 x 3 (365), 1 x 2 (375) Flat Bench Press 1 x 5 (225), 1 x 4 (245), 1 x 3 (250) Weighted Pull-Ups 3 x 8,7,7 (30 lbs.) Seated Cable Rows 3 x 10 Barbell Front Raises 3 x 5 w/ 5 sec. iso hold with each rep. (Just used bar for these)
My legs felt strange today… Like they were tight and feeling like they weren’t getting enough circulation during practice. Strange feeling but didn’t affect my running or anything… Little sluggish though, maybe from this weekend… Hmmm…
Weights:
Deadlift 3 x 3 (330, 365, 365), 2 x 2 (375) Bench Press 1 x 5 (230), 2 x 4 (240)- Couldn’t go as heavy as I would’ve liked, no spotter today. Seated Cable Row 3 x 12 (170) DB Shrugs 3 x 10 (80’s)
Cut it a bit shorter today, was tired and had to study for math… Which I still have more to do. Great!
Also- I’ve been helping my girlfriend with her weights and she’s been improving very well. Today she did a Back Squat session of 1 x 6 (90), 1 x 5 (105), 1 x 4 (115), and 1 x 3 (120). Not bad considering I only had her start squatting with weight less than 2 months ago. Form is great though. Today also had her do 3 x 3 with lots of rest in Bench Press (70 lbs.), 3 x 12 cable row, and 3 x 6 RDL. She’s progressing nicely.
Have her on other lifts as well, front squat etc… She’s the highjumper I had talked about a while back…
(Even though we played a horrible 1st half; 21-7 at halftime and our qb threw 5 INTs, one that went for a TD; 6 overall turnovers from the offense. Not good)
What about you, have you caught any passes yet? I know how you feel if the ball is never thrown to you when you are a receiver. It is the most frustrating thing.
Only 1 pass so far. Sucks but oh well. I may be a CB after tomorrow, I still have to talk it over w/ my coach.
Chemistry in college sucks; Been studying/doing homework for hours now… Helps if I didn’t procrastinate, but that’s me. 3:30 a.m. and still going strong.
Been a crazy week. A lot of studying/homework/tests… We play Diablo Valley College in our only night game of the year! Should be a really good game. We have a band to play for us for the first time all year, a mascot (which we havent had for years aparently), and some other cool stuff. Free shirts/jackets for the game (called the Clo Classic).
