Extremely fatiguing, I'd compare them to doing resistance training for cardio. It only takes me like 15 to 20 minutes to complete but I'm completely drenched by the end. If you jump as hard/high as you can for each exercise, you'll definately feel it.

Determined, Yes, but I doubt I'll get my size back anytime soon seeing I'm trying to lose weight. I just have this mental block in my head, that if my pants are getting tight I automatically think I'm fat, nevermind if I'm making good gains or not. Most people do yo-yo dieting, I do yo-yo training

Yeah, when you break it down, it really doesn't sound that bad. It's just I usually eat enough in those few days to make up a few weeks

I agree with you Blu....Plyo's are the way to go

How goes it Brother Blu!!!

Pylon · 11-20-2005, 01:25 PM

Heya Blu.

bludevil · 11-21-2005, 10:25 AM

Hey fella's, sorry I haven't been updating as much as I should lately, just busy at work. I work with computers at work, so the last thing I want to do is go home and start the computer up

Will add today's w/o in a few.

bludevil · 11-21-2005, 01:04 PM

Nov 21

All exercises were done 3 sets of 8 with 90 sec RI between supersets

Chest/Upper Back
BB Bench Press/Lat Pulldown - 205/10plates

Lower Back/Legs
Power Cleans/Step Ups - 135/40lb db (these absolutely exhausted me)

For single joint exercise I did single db curls on preacher.

Because of thanksgiving week, I did plyo work today as well. Must say I'm learning to hate plyo's more and more each workout

As far as endurance, I'm totally out of shape.

yellowmoomba · 11-21-2005, 01:13 PM

Nice supersets Blu!!

Gotta love plyos

Pylon · 11-21-2005, 01:50 PM

Nice work, Blu. The endurance will come!

Nice wo Blu ,

Damn holidays !!! Always cause more trouble than they are worth

bludevil · 11-22-2005, 09:33 AM

Thanks guys.
Regarding endurance, it's funny cause I can play full-court bball for an hour and not get really tired, but if I do full blown 60second sprints, my heart is about to beat out of my chest. It's amazing the difference between jogging and running all-out.

Speaking of which, I usually play bball on fridays, but since thanksgiving holidays is this thur/fri, the guys decided to play today. So today's w/o will be 1.5 hours of bball.

I'm still hanging in there Rocco, just didn't have time to post over the long thanksgiving weekend. I did get a good w/o in over the weekend though. It wasn't on par with my current routine but a nice change of pace. I'll start back up with routine today.

By the way, plyo's for jumping (what I'm doing) was posted in a link, probably on 1st page of this journal.

Nice wo Blu ,
Lunges on the Smith

I do those sometimes with one foot on top of a bench behind me, kind of like a 1-legged squat. They are killer

I've tried split squats before, but can't get the feel for them. How long did it take for them to feel right to you?

We have an exercise diagram at the gym, so it took me a few times of reading the article and looking at the pics and actually doing them before I got the hang of it.

Nov 30

All exercises performed 2 x 15 with 90sec RI's

Power Cleans - 100 (forearms were burning after 2nd set)
Step-Ups - 55lb db's
Incline BB Press - 165
Shoulder Press (machine) - 85
10 minutes of cardio on tready at 5.1 speed.

Went light today because I don't like working out 2 days in a row on the routine, but I can't lift tomorrow.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
