Day 796
DIET
Wasn't feel the greatest today. Ate some pizza for dinner as comfort food. Too bad the pizza wasn't that good haha.
EXERCISES
Hit squats today to test out the progress with physical therapy. I still feel discomfort at around 275 pounds and a "pressure" but nothing painful until I hit 315. The pain has dulled down significantly, but I still did not want to push it. Called it quits early because I have just been really tired.
- Squats
- Good Mornings
- Pistol Squats
EXTRA ACTIVITIES
Longboarding around. The weather is beautiful.
COMMENTS
Got through a boatload of my online cost accounting class. Time to refocus my attention on business law and my CPA review class.
Day 795
DIET
Pretty awesome throughout the day. I finally have 10 more pounds of cottage cheese. I can't wait to go through these.
EXERCISES
My shoulders are bothering me a bit for my DB bench and military press. I'm not exactly sure why they are acting up. Other then that, it was a pretty good workout.
- DB Bench press
- Skullcrushers superset Tate Presses
- Military Press
- Seated Shrugs
- Raises/Laterals
- Bicep Curls
PHYSICAL THERAPY
Had another session of pressure point muscle therapy. It was pretty painful, but hopefully my squats tomorrow will be pain free and super awesome.

Spent the majority of the day working on my online cost accounting homework with random intersections of super smash with my roommate.

Went shopping, longboarded, finished another module in the CPA review book. Overall a pretty productive day. Going to end the night with some light reading for my cost accounting class and maybe some Wii with my roommate.

Finished my stockholders equity outline. It is pretty comprehensive and really helps me see the differences and similarities between the different financial reporting treatments.
Day 793
DIET
Eh... It is one of those days that you eat whatever just so you can have fun with your friends. Happy Unofficial St. Patrick's day from the University of Illinois!
EXERCISES
Ahh the gym was peaceful and calm today. 95% of the campus were on the streets drinking at 7 AM. I had class and just decided to pop in the gym for a quick cardio/ab session. Started with high rep power cleans (135 pounds coming up very easily), then hitting 20 minutes of concept 2 rowing and finishing with a few random abdominal exercises.
EXTRA ACTIVITIES
Spent the majority of the night dancing my heart out. There is no better way to shake off a long week of CPA review.
COMMENTS
Got a bunch of work down in the morning and I'm feeling pretty refreshed after last night. You always meet some pretty cool people when you go party hopping haha.
Day 792
DIET
Legit, bodybuilding all the way.
EXERCISES
Felt a SIGNIFICANTLY less amount of pain today while deadlifting. The physical therapy is paying off. I was able to hit 330 easily for a few reps before the pain started to creep back. I wanted to take it easy so I don't re-injure myself.
- Deadlifts
- BB Rows
- Power Cleans
- Pull Ups
- Reverse Hypers
- Machine Rows
EXTRA ACTIVITIES
Incredible day of longboard in the afternoon with friends.
COMMENTS
The weather was beautiful today. Currently, I spent all night working on my online cost accounting class. I'm really frustrated with the assigned questions because they arn't representative of how the book is setup nor how the practice problems look. Also, one of the chapters is all about subjective ratings with "answers" behind it. Getting very annoyed with some of these questions.

Going to do a quick run through of shareholders equity before I get to bed. Got carried away with my cost accounting homework since I'm having trouble figuring out what they want. Every question is basically a vocabulary trick.
Day 791
DIET
Kept it healthy throughout the day but broke the diet to eat at the school cafeteria. Veal is absolutely delicious.
EXERCISES
Off day.
PHYSICAL THERAPY
Day 2 - So the first day did nothing for me, I think I told the therapist the wrong location of the pain. Re-squatted and concentrated on where it hurt. It might not be the glute but the hamstrings. Today the therapist dug into my hamstrings and worked my entire muscle. I'm still feeling the lingering effects of his fingers digging into my muscles. Hopefully tomorrow's deadlift session will see a significant improvement.
COMMENTS
Feeling a bit stressed out since I'm trying to study for the CPA and finish this online course at the same time. I'm not big into cost accounting and all the busy work is really preventing me from studying the CPA portions I want to during my free time. My new strategy is to read 3 chapters at a time in the online course and work on 3 sets of homework simultaneously. If I can do all this over a period of 3 days. I can "theoretically" finish the entire set in 15-20 days of work. (Plus exams)... We'll see...
