This was my final workout in Nashville before I head off to Columbus,OH in the morning. When I arrive tomorrow I will do a cardio session to ensure that I will not be retaining any water from the flight. My first shoot will be 8PM tomorrow night. Friday morning is my second shoot. Then I'll be able to relax and enjoy time with my friends. I will not be taking my computer with me however I will be getting a lot of video footage. I'll be posting up the video sometime next week. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
ARMS/ABS/SPRINTs
For a switch up with arm training today I went high reps. I ended my workout with 25 minutes on the treadmill. 2-3 minute long intervals on speeds of 10.0-11.0 followed by walking on 3.5 for 2 minutes. I did this back in forth till i reached 20 then walked on a incline of 14.0 for 5 minutes. I also biked to and from the gym for a total of 3 miles. On my rides I did sprints as well trying to go as fast as I could uphill for about 30 seconds.

ARMS/Cardio
My Sunday started off with a great run on the treadmill on an empty stomach for 25 total minutes. I did several sprint intervals and one mile for speed which I did in 6 minutes to end the workout off. A couple hours later was my first arm workout at the new gym and my training partner Ron joined. We blasted arms for about an hour and did my favorite cardio machine afterwards which is the stepmill.

-Workout- ARMS/ABS
Tonight both Ron and I agreed that this was one of the best arm workouts we've done in a while! We've been training heavier then we normally do and since I've been watching Charles Glass (guru trainer from LA - trains at Gold's Venice Beach) videos on Flexonline.com I've been using his drop set techniques. They are super INTENSE! I'll be recording new workout videos next week so everyone can have a visual of the technique.

So after having plenty of carbs after my leg workout this morning it was time to hit some Chest and Biceps with my friend Ben. All I've got to say is it feels so good to feel like myself again. I'm training harder than ever and I'm so happy I'm not trying to be someone I'm not anymore (with trying to be skinny for fashion modeling). The past couple of days has been my most intense and heavy workouts I've done since I used to train strictly as a bodybuilder.

Once I get back to Nashville I have a lot of video editing to do and all of the videos I recorded will be up by the end of the week. The picture above was after tonight's workout. I forgot to get a picture of Ben and I (sorry Ben).
