Workout #1: 1 min R.I.
BB Bent-over Rows (Underhand Grip)
95x6
Switched to overhand
95x4, 95x3

BB Bench Press
135x5, 135x3, 135x2

Chuck Norris Machine Underhand Pull-ups
Highest Levelx8, x6
Switched to overhand x3

BB Military Press
95x2, 95x1

Ball-Wall Squats
BWx6

This is my first time lifting weights in weeks, I been at my other home which has no equipment... I was just doing push-ups and chair dips over there... which is why I am surprised my benching is so low... anyway I am going to have to balance out all that pressing I was doing. Also I am not sure if I am doping the ball-wall squats correctly, when you first start out, are you supposed to stand straight, or do you put your feet a couple inches in front of you?

Mike, I wish I had your height... can you dunk? You must be a pretty good player- because it looks like you play a lot! Do you notice any difference in your energy level/ endurance on the court now that you have dropped some weight?

I can almost touch rim... I barely get off the floor
I haven't played in a while (since I lost the weight), I am about to play right now.. waiting for a friend... I will report back to you with my energy levels, and how high I can jump

Played some basketball, nothing serious... Just some shooting around, and some knockout.

Bakerboy- I can now touch (well skim) rim on a 10 footer! Yea baby!
Soxmuscle- I was wrong for saying 10 in a row is easy, I tried it out... got up to 8 and than missed. Oh well it has been a while.

My friend has the same exact goals as me, He was at 240, and now hes down to 220. We are gonna go running tomorrow.

Time to eat.. haven't ate since meal 1.. lemme go see whats in the fridge that's healthy...

sore as hell from yesterday, because I haven't lifted weights in so long... I am gonna go swimming in a little bit.

Also yesterdays diet wasn't so good. I ate canned fish steaks, and canned smoked oysters with pita bread. Going food shopping today though.

<1 min R.I.'s
BB Bent-over Rows (Overhand Grip)
95x6 PR
95x6
95x5

Military Press
95x3 PR
95x1
95x1

Machine Pull-ups Added Resistance band
x4 PR
x4
x3

Flat Bench
135x4
135x3

Ball-Wall Squats
10 with a 2sec hold in the hole

Notes:
Rows went good, will add 5 pounds next time.
The first set on the Military Press took a lot out of me, making my bench suffer.
Machine Pull-ups went good, will keep at the same resistance.
Flat Bench I felt really week, because I did them after the Military Presses... although the weight felt sooo light when I first picked it up. Will do Flat Bench before military press next time.
The Ball-wall squats are too easy, I will either add weight or progress to another exercise, that is up to you guys...

isolated it sounds ok, but not much of a meal. As you know, it really depends on the rest of your diet. It is a collective deal, can't really critique by one snack.

What happens when you do BW squats?

What about sit to stands (sitting back to a chair or low table and then standing)? You can do them with a countermovement in the upper body (as you sit back, arms go straight out in front....hold a med. ball if you want), as this helps to give us some balance.

stripper squats (like I talk about in my blog) are good too.
