Putting an end to the Gluttony of Summer

**IainDaniel** · 09-05-2006, 07:54 AM

Well for whatever reason this summer ended up being one big party and it seemed like there was constantly a party going on.

Started out with a close friends wedding and all the pre wedding fun. Then was my 30th birthday. Instead of a day I turned it into a month of partying calling it my Birthday month

So being 30 means that a few of my friends are 30... so again more parties.

Plus my wife and I have a pretty good relationship with our neighbours, so I end up drinking with them. Plus there are many other occasions from drinking on the golf course (trying to do the beer a hole game) to beers after my summer hockey games. So basically I ended up pretty much drunk or drinking alot 2-3 times a week.

Well this past long weekend is the end of things for about a month till I head out to halifax, for a boys weekend. This past weekend was my little sisters wedding.

So now I just need to start putting the right foot forward. I was active most of the summer between ball hockey and Ice hockey, and taking my little guy for bike rides. But my weight training and obviously my diet slipped big time.

So no real defenite goals, obviously I need to lose a lbs of Molson Muscle, I have jumped up to a portly 228lbs, ideally need to be around 210-215. I will post a sample of my diet ( no real goal with that other then just proper eating habits, lacking in alcohol for a while) and a full body routine 3 days a week with some cardio in the am.

Winter hockey will be starting soon on Sunday am's so I will have a few weeks of two hockey games a day once per week, while the summer league finishes.

Oh and to top off all this desire to be more commited, my wife is basically due anytime now.

I haven't been consistent in Journaling in a while so here goes nothing.

Hey?!? What's up with all these parties and me not being invited? I'm only a planetrip away, I'll go anywhere for alcohol

Alrighty Iain, I'm going to hold you to this (he says as he takes another bite of his morning slice of pizza and sits on the couch opting out of going to the gym because it's raining).

What's your routine going to look like?

Problem is my wife won't drink with me.

Good Luck, Ian

I could cut and paste that opening monologue right into my journal. Except I don't play hockey and it isn't winter here yet.

Nothing to exciting

Day A

Front Squats
Stepups
DB bench Press
Dumbell Row
Skull Crushers

Day B

Standing Military Press
Deadlift
Lunges
Chinup
Barbell Curl

**IainDaniel** · 09-07-2006, 02:55 PM

Day A

Front Squat
115x8
115x8
115x8
115x8

Stepups (50lb DB each hand)
12 each leg
10
10

DB Bench
60 x 8
60 x 8
60 x 8

DB Row
60 x 8
60 x 8
60 x 8

Skull Crushers

60 x 8
60 x 8

Nothing too exciting considering I haven't consistently worked out in god knows how long, other then throwin around some weights once in a blue moon.

Front squats actually felt pretty good, I hate squats a) because I suck at them. And I hate not being good at something. But I had a good full ROM and was very stable(usually I fall forward)

Everything else was pretty basic. Bench didn't feel that great throwing shoulder it a little sloppy... probably cause I was at the CNE throwing into one of those Pitching machines (test your speed) a few weeks ago.

Little slow on the workout around 40 mins, but honestly my conditioning sucks ass, as I am about 15 lbs over where I am used to being.

Bakerboy · 09-07-2006, 03:49 PM

Good luck with your training. I like your program. It's basic and to the point. What do you plan to do set and rep wise?

Fitgirl70 · 09-07-2006, 03:53 PM

YEAH!!!! A new journal! I'm excited to follow along and to see pics of the new little bean!!!

Good job and I'm sorry about turning 30 -- I partied like it was 1999 when I turned 30 too!!

Initially there will be nothing interesting.4 sets for Squats and Deads 2-3 for the rest. all 8-10 reps. Really the first 3-4 weeks will be sort of a reintroduction, with such a long layoff of consistent weight training.

Other then Beer bottle curls and Hockey twice a week during the summer. I didn't do much... more then likely cause the beer bottles kept becoming empty (I think there was a hole in them

)

Thanks Fitgirl70 I really need to focus on being more consistent with my training, especially as my age goes up. I find it alot harder to get back into things now. And my body wants to let go that much easier.

Hopefully we will be seeing the little one soon. Due date is less then a week and half away

Rocco32 · 09-08-2006, 07:32 AM

Looking good so far. I find I like front squats better as well, maybe because I have to go so much lighter LOL.

I wish I could do step-ups or lunges but they kill my right knee....just walking up stairs makes it hurt.

**IainDaniel** · 09-10-2006, 11:44 AM

BB Military Press

115 x 9
115 x 9
115 x 9

Double over-hand Deadlift
205 x 9
205 x 9
205 x 9
280 x 1 -(this is where I become foolish) You would think after such a long layoff I wouldn't try to jump up the weights that much... ah well
320 x 0 - 280 felt good so drop another couple of quarters on LOL Grip isn't there and neither is lower back. Ah well it was fun trying.

Lunges 30 lb DB each hand

12
12
10

DB Row - ( no Chinups today)

60 x 10
60 x 10
60 x 10

DB curls

40 x 8
40 x 8

Goodwork out. My conditioning sucks balls. I always say this I can't believe I let my self get like this. Ah well at least I am doing something about it.

Still a little tight from the last workout. Hammies, Glutes, Quads, and a little in the chest.

**IainDaniel** · 09-11-2006, 11:30 AM

Well summer hockey is pretty much over now

We lost last night, gave up the tying goal with a 1:30 left, and then proceeded to lose in the shoot out. We out played them for the most part, just couldn't get the puck in the net. I was fucking winded, fucking 18-20 year olds with bounds of energy.

Oh well winter hockey starts this sunday.

Double D · 09-16-2006, 02:12 AM

So how many days a week you training with weights?

**IainDaniel** · 09-16-2006, 04:07 AM

yeppers.

Getting late I just woke up an hour ago

Double D · 09-16-2006, 04:31 AM

Yeah I am on midnights, these suck something bad. The lack of sleep on the first one is what gets me, other than that I get plenty of sleep on these. But right now I am ready for bed. Off at 8.

I thought it looked like you went 3 days a week. Program looks pretty solid.
