Well, I made it thru the week. Glad it's finally over.
My sister told me there is a 3k run coming up (the turkey trot) and we might be running together. It gives me a short term project to work on, anyway.
Also, I'm cooking t-day dinner for the fam. I think I may change up the menu to make it more healthy then planned. Easy enough with turkey. The rest becomes a challenge, but one the might be a lot of fun to try. any suggestions?"The test of courage comes when we are in the minority.

I really wasn't looking forward to getting back to the office today, and after a couple of hours I was ready to get out. And what do you know, the gym was still there waiting for me....
WU - treadmill, 10 min
bench - 135x10,5
standing calf - 225x20
db flye-30s x 20
donkey calf-120 x 20 (meant to set it at 160 - doh!)
incline bench - 95x7,4
sumo squat-80x20
decline bench-95x10,6
adductor-120x20
pec deck-100x20
As usual, going to 20 reps or failure. rest/pause of 30 sec where needed.
I found myself feeling much more calm through the rest of the day. Maybe my glucose levels were just low. Whatever it was, it felt pretty darn good."The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority." - R. W. Sockman

The "full body" variant I'm using alternate upper and lower body lifts. I've found it is a good way to crank up the intensity level a bit in a short time.

Well, I did get to the gym to lift, but I don't have my book with me. I'll post numbers in the morning. But I want to make sure I am on record as having gone.
3 days in a row.

Yeah, that's the plan. My sista and I are supposed to have lunch tomorrow. I think I'm going to drag her to city hall to register!
Didn't go to the gym at lunch, had a work lunch instead. (Went with the cobb salad.) Got in 45 min cardio tonight at home. Didn't get a lot out of it, since my legs are pretty shot from lifting yesterday, but it still counts!

The good news is that you're actually working out, unlike some people we know who shall go nameless. Burner Originally Posted by Pylon

Ok, here are the missing w/outs...
Wednesday -
WU - 5 min bike, squats 135x10
squats - 225x11, 9
bb curl - 70x10,6
leg press - 360x20 (more on this below)
db hammer curls - 25s x 10,10
cg pulldowns - 120x10,10
lat pulldowns -90x10,10
leg ext - 110x20
face pulls - 60x20
I'm adjusting to the new machines, so some of the weights are off. As usual, aiming for failure at 20 reps, 30 pause where set is broken up. The leg press is a nautilus, but it has a rocking motion at the top of the range which threw me off a bit. I'll have to get used to it.
Friday
wu - bike, 10, deads, 45x10
deadlifts - 135x10, 185x10, 225x7
seated db mil press - 30s x 20
upright rows - 65 x 12,8
iso leg curl - 40 x 13,7
db french press - 40 x 20
rope pushdowns - 100 x 15,5
db slds - 40s x 20
skulls - 45 x 8,6
The deadlifts are straight sets, not pushed to failure. I'm starting to really like doing them, and am happy to have them on my list. (My back is killing me today, though. I mean that in a good way. It all in the posterior chain.)"The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority." - R. W. Sockman

These pics show the difference in the angle of the foot plate through the lift. It's not a lot, and I understand why (it should reduce the stress on your ankle by giving you a flatter surface to press against through the lift), but it still felt odd."The test of courage comes when we are in the minority.

By the way, while searching for those pics, I stumbled upon some good info on the Houston Texans' website regarding their lifting programs. Might be worth checking out.
