Congratulations on making it to week 5. From those numbers and that commentary, you should have no trouble completing the week.

Thanks for the compliment. Especially since it's coming from a guy who's warmup is better than my PRs.

Randy Savage always looks like he has mega-hypertension at all times. It looks like his face is gonna bust.

Week 5, Day 3

Another stellar workout.

I did another PR in Benching. I did the PR and I had plenty left over. I'm also right at my PR for Squating.

Okay, this is going to sound corny, but it's true. During my first four sets of Squats, I fired right out of the hole, but during my last set I didn't come up so fast. On the last rep of the last set I came up slow. It took me about 2 seconds to get up. During those seconds, I swear that I could hear the guys that support me here at IM cheering me on. Like I said, it's corny.

Squat (RI 3, 1/x/1/x)
115 @ 5
140 @ 5
170 @ 5
195 @ 5
230 @ 3
170 @ 8

Bench (RI 2, 1/x/1/x)
75 @ 5
95 @ 5
115 @ 5
125 @ 5
160 @ 3 - PR
115 @ 8

T-Bar Row (RI 2, 1/x/1/x)
80 @ 5
105 @ 5
125 @ 5
145 @ 5
170 @ 3
125 @ 8

Burner02 · 12-25-2006, 03:17 PM

was nice...went to my parents for traditional brunch..opened presents and then had to come to work...(24/7 operations...normal day of work)

I'll 'steal' over to the main office after a while...(this evening) and go hit the elliptical...

Yep, I workout at home. The convience is nice, but I really miss some of the equipment that I could use at a gym. It's also really nice just putting on some shorts and a shirt and walking downstairs and *boom*, I'm working out.

Burner02 · 12-25-2006, 03:23 PM

true...but I think I'd REALLY miss workouts if I wre to have home gym...I need to be in a gym...surrounded by people moving weight...feed off the 'energy'.
I miss my old gym..I'm at 24hour fitness now..and I don't get that feeling from it...

I have to admit, my motivation was crap at first. But now I have no problem with keeping motivated.

Burner02 · 12-25-2006, 05:08 PM

I would like to get some cardio piece(s) for home...

.....a couple college girls would do the trick..

I think I'll blend your college girl routine with the 5x5 program. I start with 5 on day 1, go down to three on day 2, and finish off with 8 on day 3.

Yeah, I think that'll work.

Burner02 · 12-25-2006, 06:00 PM

**DOMS** · 12-26-2006, 08:07 PM

I feel like crap. Today was my first day of sprinting. So...how many times did I sprint? Two. Yep, just two. But I had a few things working against me:

I was a dumb ass and forgot the water.
It was 36 degrees out.
It was up hill.
I sprited for 320 feet each time.

That shit'll take somethin' out of you.

Well, I'm sure I can do better next time.

On a positive note, my shoes made if feel like I was running on carpet.

KW: sprinting, cardio, dumb ass
