So, new plan is to start the rust-off tomorrow (full body BB), which may actually work better. I have a final in Marketing tonight, so I will be better focused if I'm not dead. (That's just a guess, of course.) Plus it puts me on track to do cardio Wednesday, then a full body DB workout Thursday before softball (weather permitting). That should make sure I am loose for the game and not tied in knots.

Ordered the rest of the sups I need for this run today, should be here by the end of the week. Very exciting!

sounds like it could have been an explosive ordeal...
so...no impromptu games of 'Pull my finger'?

Good luck w/ the final, brotha! Marketing..I'd like to take some classes for that...I think I have a flair for creativity...hhmm....

that sounds kinda cool!

OK, past the Marketing final, just one paper and one test left. (I can't tell you how ready I am to be done with it.)

Feeling better, but still a little gurgelly. (Yes, it's a word...I think...)

Ready to go in the AM...I hope...

Feeling good this morning, readay to hit the gym at lunchtime.

And my Xbox showed up this morning! (Bought a used one on Ebay, came with 2 controllers, DVD kit, Halo and Halo2. That'll get me on the bike for sure!!!)

Hello, Py

Looks like a solid plan of attack. Is there any room for me in that little competition you guys have going?

Getting on the plane Thursday. Still working on getting a hotel for the family. Did you ever get tix for the comp? Maybe we can hook up Saturday afternoon and head over together.

Py glad ya where smart enough not to head to the gym...I did that once and it wasn't pretty LOL!

Whats this comp all about?!

Fitgirl70 · 06-13-2006, 09:08 AM

Just a little motivational comp. I think we're all pretty much sticking with the same goal, lose bf and gain some muscle.

Arch is judging!

Go get in!

Well, since there is no food in there, it might not be all that bad...just take out the phone so I can't order pizza...

If you mean "hands down" as in "everyone's hands will be down when you are up, because they already voted for me", then you might be right...

OK, first day in the gym in almost 2 months. (I've done some cardio work and some BW workouts, but no iron time.) Let me say up front, it is not a great workout, great numbers, great results, or great return. It is not meant to be any of those things. This is just shaking off the rust, so no need to call it what it ain't...

WU - bike, 5 min; BB DL and BP, 20 reps, empty bar

Deadlifts - 135x20
Bench - 95x20
Squat - 135x20
BO row - 95x20
OH press - 95x10, 45x10
SLDs - 95x20
Upright rows - 45x20
Incline Bench - 45x20
lunges - 30x10 each leg
dips - -85x10

I always hate the first day back after a layoff. For the next 30 min, felt sluggish and lethargic as my system went into shock. Feeling better now, ready to go eat. Not bad overall, but I can see I will be using lighter weight than I thought for this program.

When you think about it, 30% of your 10rep max isn't really all that much. If you can bench 200 for 10 reps, that puts the starting weight for this program at 60lbs. Seems light, but I can see that by set 3 it will be a killer. So I have to be very careful about not letting my ego step in and put extra weight on the bar.

Burner02 · 06-13-2006, 11:54 AM

holy crap! set of 20 on deads???? U da man!
