I sure wish I could nap during cardio. I'd be inspired to do it much more often.

LOL, I used to do the same thing. I could bang out 30 minutes on the bike with no problem while playing Mortal Kombat

Thanks Angel ,
I don't know , I'd say my form is stricter with the cable. Other than that probably not much diff.

Nope , back is still not 100 % but it may never be . Going to try some legs Sunday, very light , to see what i can or can't do.

**bludevil** · 10-14-2005, 09:54 AM

5.2 miles in 20 minutes would have me bent over crying for mama, never liked cardio. Good job.

**Triple Threat** · 10-14-2005, 10:03 AM

Looking good so far, Gary.

**Rocco32** · 10-14-2005, 11:23 AM

Looking great Gary!! Good luck with the legs, don't get over zealous!

**b_reed23** · 10-14-2005, 01:19 PM

everythings looks like it's coming back nicely...I hope legs go well, be careful!!

**King Silverback** · 10-14-2005, 06:42 PM

Awesome job on the bike!!! Take it easy with your back, you can always work light and around the injury, You know what I mean my Friend, just take care!!!

**gwcaton** · 10-15-2005, 06:54 AM

Blu - I no likey cardio either , just a neccessary evil

Capt. - Thanks man !

Rocco - Thanks ! Don't worry, I will control my urge to squat like the big boys

Billie - Thanks ! Hope you are feeling better

Angel - Thanks ! I hear and I obey

**gwcaton** · 10-15-2005, 07:05 AM

I had planned on a complete weigh in / body measurement / bf % but since I am mainly concerned with losing the gut I have acquired over the past few months I only did weight and waist.

Good news - Lost 4 pounds this week . down to 193 lbs.

Bad news - OMG ! OMG ! OMG ! I don't remember what I was pre-tendonitis and pre-ruptured disc but I would guess that I was close to 32.5 Today ...........
36.5 !!!

Haven't been that big in YEARS !!! Oh well, I'll shall be back to where I was in plenty of time for showing off this coming spring/summer.

Have a great weekend

It's all a process, G. Look at it this way. A mere mortal would've probably added 8 inches, sat around doing nothing, and accepted it as their new way of life once everything was fully healed. You have controlled the damage, taken an early return path and gotten back to your routine, modified though it may be. You're still WAY ahead of the pack.

Damn Py , what do you do for a living ? Motivational speaker ? If not you might consider it

Appreciate the words very much !

Not hardly, though it seems like a heckuva racket to be in. Just trying to keep you from selling yourself short.

**gwcaton** · 10-16-2005, 10:12 AM

Leg Extensions -
70 x 9
95 x 9
start w/100 next time

PowerTec Squats -
90 x 12
2 sets 180 x 12
Don't think I'll go any heavier just yet. The amount /type of "pain" felt wasn't any worse than when I'm just standing or walking but I'll ease into it anyway. I fell more pain when I just stand with all my weight on my right leg than I did doing the squats .

Vertical leg Press -
3 sets 125 x 15
About the same "pain" as Squats. Going light as long as I need to.

Lying Leg Curls -
2 sets 45 x 15
45 x 12
Went light here too. Too much potential for re-injury here .

SLDL _
These are definetly out of the pic for awhile longer. I could get enough ROM to do a rack dead but I can't go to the floor ...Yet !

Standing calf raises -
3 sets 180 x 15

Seated calf raises -
140 x 19
140 x 18

Single leg calf raises -
BW x 15

Notes:
2 min RI's on everything except calves , 1 min RI's on calves

**I'm Trying** · 10-16-2005, 12:01 PM

Good job Gary. Take your time with anything that may tweak your back. Keep it up!!

**Pylon** · 10-16-2005, 03:02 PM

Nice w/o, G. Glad to see you back on the horse.

**gwcaton** · 10-17-2005, 07:08 AM

Matthew, Py -

Thanks guys

**gwcaton** · 10-17-2005, 07:11 AM

**bludevil** · 10-17-2005, 10:36 AM
