Ughh 14+ hour work day. I'm so tired that gym was not an option tonight. Waiting on a phone call and then it shower followed by bed. Can't wait to sleep in tomorrow

Will catch up in everyone's journals tomorrow.

Pylon · 04-04-2006, 07:46 PM

I like reading your journal. It makes me feel like I have more free time....

b_reed23 · 04-05-2006, 01:46 AM

that's what I was thinking Py!

Devlin · 04-05-2006, 08:22 AM

Some days it seems like there are not enough hours in the day for me to get everything done that I would like to get done.

I slept in this morning

I'm planning on going to the gym in a little bit. I have to call into work later since boss wants me to help out on creating invoices since he doesn't have the time. However, he has to run it by Mom first since she has been creating the invoices and he doesn't want Mom to feel like she is being replaced.

If Mom is ok with it, I will be heading in after lunch time and work 6-7 hours today, thurs, fri. So much for time off, I'm heading right back into working 7 days a week for a while

I didn't even go to the gym last night. I came straight home from work, had dinner, posted on here, and crashed. I didn't even make it into the shower. Feel asleep on the sofa and then at some point got up and crawled into bed.

Burner02 · 04-05-2006, 10:11 AM

poor thing....get some good sleep? Feeling better?

Archangel · 04-05-2006, 02:14 PM

Hope everything goes as you need it to my Friend!!! I start off on level 4 and it ramps up to level 10 on the hills!!! Next time I will try level 5 for starters!!!

Devlin · 04-05-2006, 06:26 PM

Burner-Got great sleep last night and felt good today, especially after my workout at the gym

Arch-OMG I think I will stick with the low levels and avoid the hills

Devlin · 04-05-2006, 06:42 PM

I had a fantastic workout at the gym today.

Chest

Warmup-10 minutes
Treadmill- 0.55 miles

Flat bench press
45 x 12
65 x 10 :thumup:
75 x 5
85 x 3 + 2 with spotter

100 x 1 :banana (had a spotter just in case)

Incline bench press
55 x 8

65 x 2
45 x 12

Dumbbell pullover
25 x 12
30 x 12
35 x 10

Dumbbell fly..ss..Straight arm fly
15 x 12....5 x 12
20 x 12....5 x 12
22.5 x 10....5 x 12

My trainer was at the gym when I arrived and when he saw me on the flat bench he came over to spot me. After doing the 85 for a total of 5, he said you can do atleast 100lbs so I went for it. After doing it he said if thinks I could probably nail 135lbs today, but when I told him the 100lbs was my fifth set he felt it was best to wait until next week for 135lbs.

Needless to say, body was a bit tired/fatigued when doing the incline bench and just couldn't get the weight today, but a guy did offer to spot me on the inclines. That's a first. I still managed to increase weight on the pullovers and finished strong. I baked in the tanning bed and it was off to work for close to 6 hours.

Way to go, Devlin.

Going for 135 next time, huh? Don't waste too much energy warming up. Just do enough reps to get loose.

Thank you, thank you. It was a spur of the moment decision to go for the 100. I was basically dared and wasn't about to back down from a dare.

Yeah I will go for 135 next week, if I have a spotter that I trust (in other words, my trainer).

b_reed23 · 04-06-2006, 01:46 AM

That's great on the 100lb...135 is a big jump, so make sure you definetly have a spotter!

YOUR MY HERE DEV!!!!!

gwcaton · 04-06-2006, 06:05 PM

Alright Dev !!!! The big 100 !!!!

Showoff

Devlin · 04-06-2006, 06:50 PM

Billie-I will definitely have a spotter when I go for 135. Will I go for it next week

GUess we will have to wait and see next week

Gary-

Thanks. It felt really good nailing it.

Devlin · 04-06-2006, 07:07 PM

Took it easy today at the gym. I had initially planned to go all out on cardio, but when I started I started thinking I may work legs tomorrow so felt it best to back off a bit so legs will still be fresh tomorrow.

Cardio-40 minutes

Precor eliptical
Level 1 for 10 minutes
Level 3 for 10 minutes
Totals: 1.75 miles; 3384 strides; Heart rate: 135-155

Treadmill
20 minutes 6% incline
Total: 1.08 miles Heart rate: 135-145

I was dripping in sweat after the time on the Precor.

Treadmill with the incline hit the legs, but not too hard. I felt really good when I left the gym, but that didn't last long. I got to work and my mood went downhill. The secretary was in a bad mood due to politics between the boss and his mom. Mom is exhausted, but is more worried about a damn dog she rescued than working on invoicing. The invoicing is extremely boring and monotonous. Boss ripped me a new one last week about not wanting to pay me overtime and that is why he was keeping the twit, however, now he has me coming in all this week (on all 3 of my days off) to work on the invoicing.

I wish he would make up his freaking mind

Of course, today was the twit's day to work which for some reason just irritated me. After invoicing for 7 hours, listening to the secrtary bitch, listen to mom worring about the damn dog, and stewing about the twit ohh and going round and round with Cingular because my cell phone is not working right, I was in a fantastic mood by the time I got home tonight. I'm actually looking forward to a killer workout tomorrow to erase today from my mind.

Sorry to rant/vent, just need to get it out.

DeadBolt · 04-07-2006, 11:29 AM

Damn good work Dev!! The big 100...welcome to the club

Thank you.

Had a good workout with my trainer today. Will post my leg workout later tonight when I get home from work. I'm actually considering doubling back and hitting back tonight at the gym since I haven't worked my back in a while. Well back to work

Devlin · 04-07-2006, 07:12 PM

Well I did hit the gym twice today

Total workout (not including warmup): 30 minutes

This workout felt really good. My quads were burning after the leg curls

Back(PM solo)

Warmup-15 minutes
Treadmill: no incline 0.87 miles

60 x 12
70 x 12

Lat row
55 x 12
70 x 12
85 x 12

Assisted pullups
-50 x 8
-40 x 4
-30 x 3

This workout was ok. Had increases in both weight and reps on most exercises, but had to work for the increases. BOdy was really tired by the time I left the gym tonight

Got a really quick shower, going to have dinner and watch the severe stroms roll through yet again. Hopefully no tornadoes tonight even though we are in a tornado watch.

Pylon · 04-08-2006, 06:14 PM

Nice work Dev! That'll clear out some of that frustration!
