BACK IN THE DAY - An attempted return

11JN051250


Stats Today = 34 / 6'0 / 208


This Journal will incorporate many things,
but mostly it's about beating Father Time...
It's a tough fight, but I'm taking this round!!!

Here is a breakdown of my former glory...


All time Body weight @ 11%bf = 227 - '2000'
All time Bench (Comp-style) = 340 - '1998'
All time Squat (Comp-style) = 545 - '1999'
All time Dead Lift (Comp-style) = 590 - '2000'
(BW in 1999 was probably about 219-220lbs)


Max pushup in 2 min = 102 - '1993'
Max sit-up in 2min = 111 - '1993'
Max chins in 2min = 62 - '1993'


Fastest (2mi) 3200 meter run = 10:17 - '1993'
Fastest (3.2mi) 5000 meter run = 17:08 - '1992'
Fastest 10 mile run = 01:02:?? - '1992'
(BW in 1992-1993 was probably in between 145-165lbs)


With my advanced age and inferior conditioning. ------
These are all seemingly impossible levels to achieve...


Since the events listed are aerobic and anaerobic in nature,
they will negate each other, if practiced with great effort,
so my goal is to just

"Turn up the juice and see what shakes loose"


Stick around, you may get a chuckle!

SUN 12JN051300
27days healed




Legs today...
I want to go light as my hernia patch is somewhat aggrevated from running...

(60sec rest ITVL on all today)




Leg Xtension
temp= 2/0/3, start at bottom

100x10

110x9

120x6.5

130x5




Seated Curl

temp= 2/1/3, start at top

80x12

90x11

100x9

110x7




Squat (yes squat)

temp= 3/1/2 start at top (comp squat just below parallel)

65x12

85x10

85x7

85x7




DB Lunge onto 1/2 Ball + Shoulder Press

temp= L-3/press/2, R-3/press/2... (Press tempo= 1/0/1)

5x7

7.35x6

10x5

10x4 = OMFG (Rubber)




DB side lunge, from center, step out, then lunge, and back

Tempo= L-2/1/1, R-2/1/1

BWx6

BWx6

5x5 = F-ing toast

There is no way I could Tempo anything but 1 on the CNTC,

I couldn’t have recovered from it
This sucked!... (I’ll try to add the press next week)




Stretch 90 sec each

Quad, Ham, Oblique (twist), Glute, Dn Dog (These r kinda scarey)




The toughest thing about the workout is all the counting and every thing

I guess I will adjust to it being 2nd nature…
(But, Damn P-funk again anyway, putting all these ideas in my head)

Yes, the training that GG & P are doing right now sounds like fun...
I even put a call in to my olympic lift guru gal pal...
So I can get some power training help when I get a little stronger

Right now I'm just using P's super anal tempo control,
to get a burn from my WO's without using heavy weight...
(and it works)

The temp= x/x/x [xx] are the key areas to watch
on these WO's, for the next couple weeks

I have 3-4 weeks to build slowly back up, in which,
my goal is to put the training, and the diet under a microscope

I would like to note
I have not buckled down my training and diet like this,
since 1998-99!?!?

hey MM, how are those egg beaters? I stopped by the grocery store today for some eggs and i saw the egg beaters and was wondering if they are any good? Are they similar to egg whites? Is it easier to make and quicker than boiling the eggs? Give me the scoop.

Well they come in a carton, so unless you have an egg steamer or poacher you are SOL (no hardboil)

they supposedly have more cals than whites, but are lower in Cholest
than whole eggs...

The reason I am using them is that real eggs really upset my system

I don't know if you've noticed I only eat 4 per day, which is strictly
small time in these circles...

I am hoping to adapt my system to more, but only time will tell...

I haven't even finished Crunching down #'s on this diet yet

posted the 3's for some of the food I have processed here...

Egg beaters are good for scrambled eggs or omelets. They are not the same as egg whites and have a different taste. I prefer egg beaters over the whites. You can't hard boil egg beaters since it's liquid. Egg beaters can also be used in a recipe in place of eggs.

I do not like when mystery pains show up unannounced
We'll see what happens
