Took Friday off to take care of family responsibilities. Monday's workout: Push-ups: 5 sets of 25 Sit-ups: 5 sets of 25 Pull-ups: 5 sets of 6 Elliptical: 11 minutes Too cold (for me) to run outside. I'm starting to see/feel results from this program. It's not a BB program so I don't expect to gain a lot of muscle mass, but my arms really seem to be getting bigger and stronger. My triceps were burning during the push-ups big time. I will be starting dips in a couple of weeks and it will be interesting to see what develops. The Georgia warm weather tease is over now and there won't be any more 75 degree days for a while. I just don't want to run when it below 60 degrees and at 8am is below 60. My diet sucks. Reeses now has a big easter bunny with peanut butter and I'm already hooked on the peanut butter eggs. Plus Costco has cheesecake. |

push-ups: 5 sets of 25 sit-ups: 5 sets of 25 pull-ups: 5 sets of 6 ran 3/4 of a mile in 6:53. I hate running I'm starting another attempt to rein in my diet and cut out the sugar, except for my morning 1-2 cups of coffee. I looked back at some records I kept last year. In September I was 162 lbs at 18.2% bodyfat and now (after 3 weeks of poor eating) I'm 173 lbs at 17.5% bodyfat. I didn't realize the progress that I've made. I guess I also concentrate on the negatives, like the flab hanging over my belt. Another 15 lbs more muscle and 15 lbs less fat and I'll reach my goal of 175lbs at 9% bodyfat. |

Back to the weights!! Bench Press: 95lbs X 10, 135lbs X 10, 155lbs X 10, 175lbs X 3 DB Press: 40lbs X 10, 50lbs X 10, 55lbs X 8 Inclined DB Press: 40lbs X 10, 50lbs X 4, 40lbs X 10 Lying Tri Extensions: 20lbs X 15, 25lbs X 10, 30lbs X 10 Cable Push-downs: 8 plates X 10, 10 plates X 10, 7 Elliptical 15 minutes. I was very surprised on the amount of weight that I was able to lift, especially on the bench press. I guess that the push-ups helped more than I realized in the strength area. |

The FBI has set the maximun time for the 1.5 mile run around 12:24. That's not too bad considering its a 8 minute mile pace.
I didn't pass the phase 2 part of the application process so I'm out of the running and haven't been running for the last 6 weeks. I'll probably pick it up again once it warms up. I just don't like to run outside when its below 60 degrees. |

Squats: 115lbs X 10, 135lbs X 8, 135lbs X 8 Leg Press: 270lbs X 10, 320lbs X 8, 320lbs X 6 Stiff-leg dead lifts: 95lbs X 10, 95lbs X 10 1-leg extensions: 70lbs X 6, 7, 5 I'm starting to feel more comfortable squating. Once I get the form down I'll start adding weight. Next week I'm back to push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, and I'm going add dips. I'm going to keep this every-other-week schedule and see what results I get after a couple of months. |

Thats faster than what the Illinois state police require thats why i was wondering. Its still not like you really have to try all that hard to run a mile and a half in 12:27. But good luck with trying to pass phase two. Im not quite sure what it consistes of but good luck with everything.
