The Monkey Man's, Post-OP, Pre-Race for the Cure - Log
MON 30MY05
Stats... 34 - 6'0- 197 Went to the gym for the first time in 16 days.. Workout... LEG EXTENSIONS 80x15 100x16 120x13 140x7.5 LEG CURLS 100X15 130X13 150X11 190X7.5 SQUAT-MACHINE / BENCH S.S. S=0X15 B=135X12 S=90X15 B=155X11 S=180X15 B=175X9 The bench scared me more than the squat (It really put a stretch on my abs) Walked .31mi @ 4.0 Ran 15min @ 6.0 (Winded me after the leg exercises) Not bad for 14 days after a surgery  Note in the pic there is still some bruising and swelling in my lower abs ( To go with all the FAT!)

Not feeling into the W.O Mode after Hell-Day @ work... Need to strengthen the soft body back up though... Was fairly sore in the OP area after Monday... This is going to get less frustrating soon  Let's hit some basic compund movements... Bench 135x15 155x14 175x9 195x6.5 195x5 -- All reps super strict w/competition form Seated Military (Behind) 65x10 85x10 105x9 125x5 -- The first numbers are super low because I'm feeling my way into this... Not really sure yet exercise to exercise what I'm capable of ???  CBL X-over Super Set Latl Raise 15x18, 20x11, 25x6, 20x7.5, 15x10 Front Raise 15x13, 20x10, 25x6, 20x11, 15x11 Quitz for the day, I want to do more, but know I need to go slow  All & all, I can directly feel the muscle groups attached to the Mesh Patch, when they are stretched or overstimulated. Feeling it in the abs (In extension/Stretch) and down the inside of my thigh in general (Hip Flexor?) A lot of movements seem to tweak this one out, more-so than in the abdominal area. If I stay away from the obvious discomfort zones, I think I will be OK |

That's a good start! Don't squat or DL too heavy yet. Make sure you focus on your breathing so you don't put too much pressure on your abs.

 I need to cardio myself out, Race for the cure is now days away, and I'm not near the shape I want to be in...  I may have to demote myself to the fun-walk!? The 5k is 3.2 miles I would like to be under 28-29min... I did Reindeer run in Dec and came in @ 23:27... I only trained for 2.5 weeks for that, and was very disapointed with my performance, but it was like 18 degrees out I'll have a better idea today  |

So @ my current pace with no breaks I should be 31-32min next week? I had to stop at the 2-ish mile mark and hack up some flem  I think this battle is going to be fought in my lungs, thanx to that Upr.Resp.Infc. I knew I wasn't in very good condition, but, I'm going to need 100% of my lungs next Saturday  No stretching pulling or pain coming from the Patch area though...  I saw some discomfort with that on my previous jogs Depending on how I re-coop/feel tomorrow, I may try to step up the runs to everyday to increase my overall condition for raceday  Oh Yeah.... Let's Go!!!!!! Last edited by The Monkey Man : 06-02-2005 at 07:50 PM. |

FRI 03JN051620
Feeling energetic (uh-oh) I decided to run intervals on the courts today Our gym has two basketball courts side by side, kind of like a high school size area... I run around both courts, and if I remember from the old Presidents Physical Fitness days 28 laps around our gymnasium was 3200 meters... The intervals went in sets of three today (I'm too fat to step it up any more than that) 3 lap walk = warmup 5 lap slow jog = " 1st set of intervals = 2 laps jog, 1 lap sprint X 3 running counterclockwise 1 lap walk clockwise 2nd set of intervals = 2laps jog, 1 lap sprint x 3 running clockwise 3 laps jog = cooldown 1 lapwalk = " Totals = 5 laps fast walk, 32 laps running various speeds = 37 Total, over 2mi (I think) (This will haunt after my drive home, my quads are humming) Weight Room Chins (BW only) x8, x9, x6.5, x6 ? These were performed very slow because they are stretching my abs down to the patch area (Tender) HMR STR HI PULL 140x15, 180x13, 180x11 Felt good, no problems w/this one HMR STR BIO LATL ROW (Performed w/pronated grip on widest prt of hndls, seat at lowest) 90x13, 140x12, 180x8 Starting to feel a little twinkle in my groin = Time to Stop  Decent WO... Feel semi-whooped |

SAT 04JN051100
No training today muscles need rest, and so does my patch!?  But in the spirit of still feeling good... I'm going to go to a show... June 4, 2005: Great Lakes and Ironman Natural Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships. Detroit 810-629-5589 This should provide a positive ENV for my brain Plus I know a couple of people competing |

SUN 05JN051010
Walk 0.5mi Run 3.3mi - Time= 34:06 Walk 0.3mi I feel my quads and legs don't have the power I want... I.E - the intervals kicked my butt on FRI (Right on the outside sweep of the quads) I'm not pulling my normal stride out there  I'm not going to figure out if that's better, or worse than Thursday? (It was extremely hot and humid outside. I sweat my ass off) I really don't care if the times drop dramatically. The purpose is to get as much in as possible. If all goes well, I will do this again: Mon, Tues, Wed, then rest Thurs and Fri. This SHOULD make me strong for Sat Morn!?  Last edited by The Monkey Man : 06-05-2005 at 01:56 PM. |

Walk = 0.5 Run = 3.2 - Time= 36:54 I F$#cking died out there... About 90degrees and my legs are shot... All I could do was shuffle along trying to pick the side of the street that was shady. My calves started cramping after like 1/4mi, then the quads took over hurting. 1 positive sign = The body seemed to want to break into stride right-off, this may be good news once the muscles rebuild (22days healed - 1 more to train) Food Meal1-0600 4 eggs 8oz ground turkey w/2tbsp salsa 16oz fresh veg-juice Meal2-0900 1/2cup oats 1 dannon lite yogurt Meal3-1230 baby spinach & romaine salad 1/4cup ea, jumbo blueberries+red rasberrys 12oz CL tuna + tbsp redhot omfg-family size tuna pouch= too much Meal4-2030 ~PWO 12oz trimmed sirloin 1/2 cup pasta 16oz fresh veg-juice This Sux... I seemed to fall behind schedule and then it was all over but the cryin  |
