Active Stretched...boy did I need it

Warm ups..
Rope Crunch
Various cable woodchops

ATG Squats
The bar for 8 reps
135lbs for 6 reps
185lbs for 6 reps
245lbs for 6 sets, 4 reps (60 sec RI)

DB Lunges (like before, no rests between steps)
40lb DBs for 2 sets, 12 steps (24 sec to complete set, 45 sec RI)
Same thing but it took 27 sec and I needed over 60 sec RI after the 2nd set (3 sets total)

Seated Calf
1 plate for 2 sets, 8 reps
3 plates + 10lbs for 5 sets, 6 reps (30 sec RI)

Eliptical..
2 min warm up
4 sets of lvl 10, 165-170 strides, 1 min intervals w/4 sets of lvl 6, 130 strides, 1 min intervals
3 min cool down

Static Stretched


Strength wise, today was good, pschologically, today was challenged.

I really wanted to quit the Squats after the 2nd set. They werent burning until the 5th-6th sets, I was just out of breath. But the volume was perfect. I might keep this RI and just up the intensity if I can do it...

Lunges...jesus, the 2nd set killed me. My first set I was thinking, oh, man, what a pussy, I couldve done more steps, fuck it, Ill just have a short RI. That shit caught up with me in a hurry.

Calves were average.

Cardio was short but hard. I am a little low on time plus I have small motivation for cardio on leg days.

Thanks. Baby steps. But 235lbs with proper form still isnt too shappy compared to the average male.

Shoulders and Lats are up today!!!

Ugh

Why isnt there a smiley for a pooped person?

No stretches (No stiffness today)

Warm ups..
Stability Ball Rollouts
Planks ON ball
Pendelums
Scarecrows

Standing Alternating OH DB Press
35lb DBs for 7 reps
45lb DBs for 7 reps
70lb DBs for 6 sets, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2 reps (60 sec RI)

Weighted Pull ups
55lbs for 6 sets, 4 reps (60 sec RI; first 3 sets had wide grip, next 3 sets, close grip)

Unilateral Hammer Row
1 plate + 25lbs for 3 sets, 12 reps (30 sec RI)

Weighted EZ bar Skullcrushers
100lbs for 2 sets, 12, 14 reps (~60 sec RI, no one to hand me the bar )

Hise Shrugs
245lbs for 2 sets, 12 reps (30 sec RI)

Row Machine
10 min

Treadmill
48 min (age of love was on...) Yeah I know


Well, todays presses went BYE BYE. Jesus, youd think 4 reps would be little enough. Seriously though, 70lbs? I mean I am thinking but alternating that shit was HARD.

Pullups were a lot easier....

I did rows on the machine cuz the seated row was taken up..and then I noticed something. I am doing a lot more horizontals, total, in my workout. I am missing one vertical.

Skulls and Hises were average.

Id fuck all of them. Amanda really is the best one. I was surprised on who he kicked off. Iwouldve dumped Maria since shes an egotistical cunt. She really showed her true bitch colors this episode.

All in all the guy is dull. I dont like him and hes an idiot.

agreed. I'd take Meagan (the student). I so would've taken advantage of her on the walk through the forest while she was drunk. Amanda seems a little crazy...the turn off being that he came back to camp and she was sleeiping in his tent, so he couldn't get it on with whomever he wanted. Maria is a stupid slut.

Thank you Thank you..

HIIT cardio...

Eliptical..
5 min warmup
Lvl 10 for 5 sets of 20 sec 180-190 strides per min with 1 minute of 120 strides in between.
3 min cool down

HR = 183

Row Machine..
2000m in 10:32

Crunches on Ball
Bridges w/shoulders on ball

Static Stretched


Well, because of the recent "hiit" thread in Training danny posted, I went ahead and read up on the exact workout of HIIT and...wow. My HR was about where it should have been and the workout was around 20 min. I was pooped (insert smiley here). It really does work and its a LOT less boring.

Rowing was just done while I had time...

I really think Amanda is hot enough to accept certain things. Ya know, take the good with the bad? Anyway, she could have any guy she wanted, shes that hot, so I dont believe her.

I dont care for Meagan, I thought she was a goner when he didnt kick off Maria.

I swear this guy is a fucking numbskull. x 100! Has he laughed? At all? No personality and dumb as they come. I mean, look at his reasoning for kicking off the last contestant. It was MARIA that was acting like a fucking lunatic. And what Amanduh said in his tent was just a jealous gesture. However, Amanduh is smart..despit her name.

I wanna fuck the 48 year old so god damn bad.

I dont know.

Also..I was able to watch last week's episode when he kicked off that crybaby. Though the girl was annoying to watch, she had reason to be upset (not though). That dull-witted moron hardly spent time with her. She tried, but he didnt care. Instead, he fights for Maria to stay on. After the first time she said she was going to quit, i woudve kicked her off the following episode. THEN she pulls that shit again and still goes against what she said she was going to do. Fake as fuck. At least the crybaby gave a shit.

very true. I thought it was so funny when the crybaby walked down the beach to interupt the date he was on and he completely ignored her. The guy is a tool though, he keeps saying the same things over and over again. I think you ought to get on that show and get some poon! Then I'll live vicariously through you!

I was told I should be on a reality show...but theyre on their way out.

As far as the beach scene, ugh, I emphasized with her. Not cuz she was trying to steal time away from the other girl, but just her look basically. It was pathetic...and Ive been there. Like a jerk who makes a joke that isnt funny.

Plus, she straightened her hair and looked awesome on her departure. She was the most bitter one though.

The only elimination that got to me was the last one. The 39 year old (who looked oldest actually) looked confused and robbed of something. Her innosense(sp?) got to me and I wanted to kill that idiot for getting rid of her and keeping maria. She was so hot and she fought with maria on that camping trip.

I missed the first part of that episode..were they playing truth or dare and maria got personal? I fucking hate people like that. You cant have an indepth discussion about anything with these people cuz then theyd throw out personal attacks when they have nothing else in her arsenal. That idiot was wrong to keep something like that around.

yeah, they played truth or dare and Maria chose truth. He asked her what turned her on and she straddled him, put her hands on his 'heart' and went on this monologue about how being true to your heart and going after your dreams is a real turn on or some bullshit like that. All the other girls were like WTF? It totally killed the good times vibe and then Maria got pissy with the other girl.

I played Guitar Hero for the first time tonight. Pretty nice little Wednesday IMO.

Then it got shitty when I got home. I dropped and broke my 7 year old pyrex bowl, 10 minutes later I stepped on something and it was itchy so I wiped at it with my hand. Turned out to be a piece of glass from my bowl lodged in my heel and not only did I track blood all over the house from my foot but I sliced my fucking finger wide open swiping the glass off. Awesome.
