I ran out of time, so no shoulders or biceps. I might try to fit them in tonight with lower body. I’ll have to see how it goes.

I seldom see anyone deadlifting in that gym. On Monday, there were two people DLing. Also, the place was crawling with young good-looking women, more than the usual. It was rather distracting at times. And finally, the owner, a guy about my height but much wider and bigger, was working out with another rather strong guy and they were tossing around some heavy weights. Inspiration certainly filled the air.

Nice wo Trip !

Posted by: boilermaker

Good looking workouts, Trips. Bet you can't wait to get out of there, huh. I know exactly what you mean about trying to move that muscle and you just can't do it. Very frustrating. Messed up my golf game something fierce, too



Posted by: Pylon

Great w/outs, Trips. I'm getting ready to head to Milwaukee, which is almost a foreign country, so I'm with you in spirit!

If you don't find the cookbook, no big deal. Just gives me an excuse to go over sometime. (I may be going in July, so no big deal.)

Lookin good trips!

When do you come back home?



Posted by: Burner02

dude!
Somebody's calling you!




Posted by: Triple Threat

Everyone

I've had a couple of long days recently and haven't had too much time for posting here. I did a lame lower body workout on Tuesday and then managed a quick full body one tonight. My 21 hour trek home begins tomorrow morning, bright and early when I leave for the airport at 6 am (12 midnight at home). If all goes well, I'm home by 9 pm.

Lots to do when I get home, so most likely I'll catch up with everyone on Monday. Back in the gym on Monday, too. It won't be hottie heaven like is here, though.



Posted by: Burner02

if it makes u feel better...your lame lower body wo was better than mine....

Buenas dias, er, I mean good day, everyone. Made it back safe and sound Saturday night. The 21 hour trek went as expected.

Busy all day yesterday, trying to get caught up on various things. Finally back at work today, so I can at least get some IM reading in.

From the looks of things, I've got a lot of catching up to do in everyone's journals.

8:45 - Arrive in Madrid, retrieve luggage, take bus to international terminal, check-in, go through security, and sit in lounge until boarding time.
1:10 pm - Fly to Philly
9:45 (3:45 pm local time) - Arrive in Philly, go through immigration, get luggage, clear customs, recheck luggage, security check again, take bus to next terminal, wait for flight to RI
12:40 am (6:40 pm local) - Fly to RI
1:50 (7:50 pm local) - Arrive RI, retrieve luggage
3:00 (9:00 pm local) - Drive home.

Welcome back Triple T!!! I still say all that traveling sounds like fun, I miss it. Nice w/o, but did you have any energy to walk outta the gym afterwards? LOL



Posted by: Burner02

sounds like one of those workouts where u have to lie on the bench in the locker room for a while to recuperate for a little while....u no longer have the energy to muster the strength to even take off your gloves...none the less change, walk to your car and safely navigate thru traffic...




Posted by: Archangel

Yes, I modified the accessory exercise selection. I tried to add a little hypertrophy stuff to the basic strength training routine. And I'm still tinkering.

Thanks, but those weren't sets of 20. It was BW plus 20 lb for 5 reps. I wish it was a set of 20, but not yet.

I've always favored high(er) volume. Dunno why, just is. And I think I've had enough travelling for a while now. Hopefully this is it.

There are some things that are great about travelling: Breakfast is waiting for me every morning and I don't have to do dishes, bed gets made every day,
laundry is done for me, and I don't have to pay for all the food that I eat.

But eating at restaurants all the time gets to be a drag and it's not exactly a tourise mecca where I was, so there are bad things as well. Now if they want to send me to Hawaii, well, that's a different story.

Last week was the week from hell. Two days to get all the follow-up work done for the Spain trip. Two days of 6 hour classes. And the rest of the time was spent in meetings. So I slacked off on posting my workouts. It's time to get caught up.

40 was too much. I had been alternating with some other people who were using 20 or 30 lb barbells. Then some other people started using both the 20 and 30 lb barbells, so I tried 40. Not a good idea.

Gary

I'm trying to stay focused in the workouts. I tend to towards the latter part of the workout when more people come into the gym. It's really empty (only 1 or 2 other people) for the first half-hour, but then it starts getting more crowded.

I figured that I better get a PR or two soon, or else DB, Billie, and Dev would use them all up.

Posted by: Triple Threat

I recently went for my annual poke and prod, and overall results were good.

Blood pressure was 104/68 and resting heart rate was 60, so OK there. However, cholesterol was 163, with only 34 being HDL (the good kind). I need to up my cardio to improve the ratio. So all you good people get out your and don't let me slack.

Allright, someone else to jump on the cardio train, Good Stuff!!!



Posted by: Pylon

heya Trips! Good numbers.

And for the record, there is no such thing as "good" or "bad" cholesterol...it's all good, some is just a little misunderstood...

Pylon

The doctor would prefer that the 2 numbers be a little closer together. Back when I was running a lot, both levels were in the 75-80 range.



Posted by: boilermaker

My ratio is on the high side too for good/bad cholesterol.

What's for lunch?



Posted by: Triple Threat

Lunch today was baked chicken with salsa and brown rice, also with salsa, but a different kind. The one on the rice is from Costa Rica. I just finished. What're you having?



Posted by: boilermaker

Grilled Monkfish and red peppers with some boiled cabbage. Left over from last night.

Not a bad workout for only 2 hours of sleep. I fell asleep around 10:30 and woke up at 12:30. Then I watched the numbers change on my clock for the next 3 hours. At that point I just got up, read a little, and got ready for the gym. Wish I knew what that was all about.

It's really aggravating when you just lie there and watch the numbers on the clock change. I keep thinking that I should get up and do something useful, but then I try to fall back asleep for a while. I did manage about a 2 hr nap tonight after work, so I'm almost back on track. Gym doesn't open until 7 tomorrow, so I can get a regular night's sleep, which is where I'm headed now.

Everyone

Life sure got busy the past couple of weeks. Big push at work to meet an upcoming deadline, which resulted in working overtime and through lunch (lunch = IM time). Early season rainouts meant doubling up on kids soccer games. And working OT during the week meant weekend time at home was for chores.

Still getting up early to workout, so at least I'm not slacking there. I just haven't had time to post them.

Took my son to Fenway park to see the Yankees kick some Red Sox ass. My first pro game was when my father took me to see the Yankees kick some Red Sox ass, so things haven't changed much in 40+ years.

IM time might continue to be scarce for another week or so. See you when I can.

Hey Trip

You on the road again ?



Posted by: Triple Threat

Everyone

No travelling, just plenty o' busy. Had to get ready for a big presentation at work, plus June is when all the kids' soccer rainouts from April and May get rescheduled. Add in a couple of tournaments and damn! Where'd the time go?

I've gone into maintenance mode with the workouts. I "tweaked" something in my back over Memorial Day weekend, so I've been taking it easy for a month now. Getting better, but still not 100%.

I wish I could say I "tweaked" it trying to hit a 500 lb squat or 600 lb deadlift, or some other feat of strength, but the truth is I was in a hotel for part of the holiday weekend, a hotel with the crappiest bed I have ever slept on. When I woke up in the morning, I rolled over trying to get up, and had that unpleasant sensation of someone stabbing me in the shoulder with a knife. Some things bother it a lot, other things don't affect it at all.

Softball is going well - team is 4-0. As for my hitting, all my line drives are right at someone. It's the bloops and dinks that are falling for base hits. Kind of frustrating, but that's how it goes.

Got a lot of journal catching up to do, so see you all later.

Thanks, Burner. The back is getting better and I finally got around to DLing today, first time in about a month. I should start posting workouts again if you promise not to laugh at some of the weights.

Thanks. I prefer to steal workouts whereever I can, try them, and then decide if they're for me or not. I was doing a Westside variation up until about a month ago, but 1RMs and sore backs are not a good combination.

Welcome to IM, btw.

Softball update

After starting the season with 4 wins, we were the last team knocked from the unbeaten ranks. Playing the second place team, we started the game with only 9 players (normally 11). That was bad enough, but 3 costly errors resulted in us being down 8-3 after 1. Our tenth guy showed at the end of the 1st, and we managed to play them even over the last 6 innings, but all that meant is we lost 18-13.

No hangover - relatives are in town so not much time for the internet. Got rid of everyone for a couple of hours, so it's time to catch up on all the journals. Played hooky from work yesterday and sat at the beach. Perfect day to relax.

Must have been nice to relax on the beach instead of working. Enjoy the relatives and the rest of the weekend



Posted by: Triple Threat

Time to update this journal before it falls into an abyss.

Relatives visiting is coming to end soon. My sister and her daughter leave tomorrow morning, her other daughter leaves Monday afternoon. Other relatives are leaving next week.

We spent yesterday at a water park in Portsmouth, NH. Sunny, hot, 90 degree weather plus all the eye candy a guy could want. (All the eye candy Dev could want, too. )

Workouts are going OK, although still going light on squats, deads, etc. Cardio is up to 30 minutes on endurance days. HIIT is still kicking my ass, though.

See you all on a more regular basis soon.

I've been doing more on the EFX machines than I have been outside sprinting. The weather had a lot to do with it, with way too much rain. I've been able to build up a little endurance with the EFX though, and I hit 30 minutes last week.

No more powerlifting for TT?



Posted by: Triple Threat

Sean

Not at the moment. I want my back to be 100% before I go attempting any more 1 RMs. Maybe in the fall when the weather isn't quite so hot. Strength levels really drop in this weather, at least for me.

Whatever you decide, I will be following. I think we both like lower volume, higher intensity stuff. The only difference is, you're a helluva lot stronger

No cardio – softball game at night


If you've been paying close attention, you would have known that Thursday should have been "push" day, but when I woke up to go to the gym, I said forget it, and went back to sleep. The 5 workouts in 6 days got to me more than I thought it would have, so I took an extra day off and combined push and pull into an upper. The workout itself was pretty good. I have declared my 5 day a week workout routine a bonafide failure.

Good workout Friday and played softball Friday night. After a couple of losses, we're back on the winning track, winning both games this week. Not only are we winning again, but my back is starting to feel much better, and I'm finally swinging the bat like I should be.

Spent Saturday at the beach, with near perfect weather. Barely a cloud in the sky, bright sunshine, temps in the high 80's, with a light breeze coming off the water. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to be in Hawaii.

What's going on in Kentucky?

Yes, it’s true. With the back feeling much better lately, I’ve decided to accelerate my return to Westside training. I’m going to take it slow though, and make sure I don't !@#* up my back again, so numbers may look wimpy at first. I’m in no hurry. I’ve got the rest of my life.

Actually, it's all Sean's fault. Reading his journal made me wish I was still doing Westside. So I said to myself, "Self, stop wishing and start doing". So I did and I am.
