Its going well Arch, cant complain one bit. How was your Christmas & New Years?

I am trying to get in more cardiovascular shape, a little bit less lifting. In an effort to achieve that, I have cut out lifting completely for a little while, and am now only doing cardio. I figure once I feel I am in good strong cardiovascular condition, I will return to lifting.

As an example, I ran 1 mile yesterday, and did 15 bodyweight dips. Today, I ran 1.32 miles. Being 6'4" 240lbs, I don't consider that a small feat; rather content with myself.

I still hate cardio, and look forward to lifting again. This time for mass, not just strength!

Sure do. I use to live in both Oxford and Seymour...I'm sure you know where they are...but ya now I'm out in Michigan.

Did some lifting last night - fucking hurts. Just like all my past indiscretions, I am counting on muscle memory to carry me through the next few weeks.

I am working with a guy to focus seriously on nutrition & intake, as that is an area in which I lack the knowledge to get ahead. So... youll see a lot of that in here in teh near future.

Played an hour of basketball tonight - no lifting.

I'm startin this sucker back up. It has been a while but its good to see a few familiar faces still.

In the past, I focused solely on weights. I hated cardio with a passion and avoided it at all costs. I excelled at the weights as a result, put up some serious numbers, but I never considered myself to be in very good health. Therefore henceforth, my goal is a whole package. Ie: the ability to comfortably run a 5k, but also to bench 300 & squat 450, while having a resting heartbeat of less than 55 or so. That, in summary, is my goal.

So for tonight, an easy night:

- A warmup on the treadmill
- 1.5 miles on an 8min mile pace
- DB bench
- DB Flyes
- 1arm DB tri-extensions

Then a quick snap in the tanning booth for a little color. I gotta be blunt on these - I love em. Up till a few months ago I would have said they were for teenage girls only, but my wife made me try it (for our wedding), and I am hooked. I feel really good, healthy afterwards. Its nice.

Good to have you back.

I like that lifestyle and have been running much more as well. I don't want to be winded after walking up the stairs to the balcony at Assembly Hall anymore, ha.

What kind of DB bench/fly work are we talking about?

I went tanning yesterday and while my heart races from embarrassment walking in, when I'm out of there, I've never felt better. It clears up my skin, makes me look better, etc.

There ain't no love... in the heart of the city.. I like the choice.

Light night, delts:

- Treadmill warmup
- DB Press (started with 25'sx20, walked all the way up the rack, finished at 3 sets of 80's x 6)
- Side Laterals (started with 10'sx20, finished with 30's x 6)
- Front raises (started with 10's x 15, finished with 25's x 8)

& dat's dat. Maybe some legs tomorrow, we'll see how it plays out.
