Monday (3-8-2004):

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.

Monday (3-15-2004)
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.

Thanks Willy and good luck with the PT, especially the 1.5.

I'm done with the agent dream, I'll be too old before I can try again. But life goes on and I've got other challenges to pursue.

If I had a brain I might be dangerous. I left my gym bag next to the back door this morning and here I am at work in sweats and a tee shirt and I'm not going to make it to the gym today either.

Friday (3-19-2004):
Legs today (first time in a long time)
Squats: 95lbs x 10, 115lbs x 10, 135lbs x 7 ( I don't feel confortable with the squat form)
Leg Press: 270lbs x 10, 360lbsx10, 270lbs x 10
Leg Curl: 70lbs x 10, 90lbs x 7, 90lbs x 7

Tried to run after w/o. Not good, my quads never loosened up and I will never try to run after working my legs again.

My numbers are really bad, 174.5 lbs at 18.3% body fat. I guess I've had a really bad week.

Monday (3-29-2004):

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

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.

Friday (4-1-2004):

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.

175lbs @ 18.6% bodyfat --> My BF measurements seem to be very inconsistent at this point. I haven't been measuring that much and I need to be more procedural about it.

Can't make it to the gym on Wed. or Thurs. so I'm doing back and bi's today.

I'm going to try to increase the amount of cardio that I do because I really don't want to tighten up my diet anymore.

30 minutes elliptical

avg. speed 155.7 strides/minute

The heart rate was lower because I didn't do any PT or drink any coffee before I started so it took a little while to get my heart rate up. I usually keep it at 145 bpm.

173 lbs this morning.
