Warning: Seismic Testing Zone

Scarface30 · 11-24-2007, 07:18 AM

thanks everyone! welcome to my journal the other half

and

Pylon don't tempt me with another Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving had a great one!

Triple cliff diving would be crazy, but that spot probably just a bit too windy, and the wind was blowing against the cliff face!

so it's been over a week since I was at the gym, my diet has been anything but good, and I feel weak/pathetic. on the upside I got a hell of a lot of work done that was well, much more important. I spent 2 or 3 nights working at school until about 12am, so sleep was also a factor. next week wont be much different

.

hope everyone is doing well

Scarface30 · 12-02-2007, 09:13 AM

so I had read everyone's entries in here, but just didn't get around to replying, and now they are erased, so thanks to everyone that did post, I appreciate the encouragement!

goob · 12-03-2007, 03:11 PM

Yeah , I think scar has just taken the crown from me as the biggest slacker around here......

Scarface30 · 12-03-2007, 08:39 PM

yeah I know, I feel lazy lately. I think I've not only taken the crown, but conquered many other lands under the new slackerism idealogy (sp?) I have started.

bad news is, my exams are next week, on 3 consecutive days, the gym I workout in turns into an exam writing room (it's a huge place, they use 3 or 4 basketball courts as the spot to write) and the weight room is right beside that, so they shut that down for the exams. I am in a dilly of a pickle.

I think I am just not going to do any weight training until after Christmas, because another obstacle is once I go home, the 1 and only gym around home does not sell 1 month memberships, only 6 months or a year. and I am not paying 12$ a session to go there for 30-45 minutes. I'm sorry, I'll shut up and stop making excuses now

.

vortrit · 12-04-2007, 12:33 AM

I'm sure you can find something to do at home. I mean anything would be better than nothing.

SamEaston · 12-04-2007, 02:49 AM

Yeah, Vort's idea is a good'un.

Your program writing ability is great - can't you sort yourself out with a program to do that just involves bodyweight exercises?

Best of luck for the exams mate - we're all rooting for ya!

Scarface30 · 12-04-2007, 07:11 AM

yes, that is a very good idea vort

I honestly never gave that a thought. I'll think of something!

Sam my program writing ability is alright, I owe it all to the info I pulled off this site, and from the people on it, thanks though!

Scarface30 · 12-09-2007, 11:51 AM

within a little over a week, I think should be back and doing some sort of physical activity. like vort had mentioned I am going to put together a routine of mainly BW exercises I can do at home. I do have a barbell and some DBs with interchangable weights at home, but the only problem is I don't have enough weight to do most of my exercises

.

some I can do with the BB and DB are probably:

DB rows
BB OH press (maybe, ceiling is a little low in the basement)
incline bench

I have nothing I can do for legs at all (maybe GMs?) so I am looking for any input on BW leg exercises. I think I'll be able to do pullups on the rafters in dad's workshop in the basement.

I'll come up with something good...so stay tuned!

I have been studying all week and exams start tomorrow

...but I am feeling good about 2/3 of them!

katt · 12-09-2007, 12:08 PM

Good luck with those exams Scar! As far as legs you could do one legged squats, or even bw single leg lunges or step ups on a chair or something??

Scarface30 · 12-09-2007, 04:02 PM

thanks katt.

lol, as simple as step-ups are to do (equipment wise) I never even gave them a thought! and by single leg squats, do you mean something like a pistol or whatever they are called?

katt · 12-10-2007, 09:21 AM

Yeah you could do them with a leg out it front also. What I was talking about was standing on a high chair or platform and doing them that way, so your leg that is not being worked goes to the side of the chair... it's a little more stable for me that way.

SamEaston · 12-10-2007, 01:58 PM

Those are some great ideas! I've just realised my gym at home is going to be shut for 2 full weeks (surely that's not allowed

), so i think i'll have a full week off, maybe only with some light jogging, then get stuck into the BW exercises for a week till i come back.

Very best of luck to you for the exams Scar! I just know all your hard work will pay off!

Let us know how you get on

vortrit · 12-10-2007, 02:14 PM

Good luck on your exams. I have one this week. I wish I remembered to bring my book with me.

goob · 12-10-2007, 05:13 PM

Yeah nail those exams, then you can concentrate on getting fucked up for the holiday season.....

Scarface30 · 12-12-2007, 01:07 PM

thanks everyone.

the exams, weren't bad. 2/3 went well, 1 of the ones I thought I was going to do bad on went well, and 1 of the ones I thought I was going to do really well on went bad! he threw a COMPLETE curve ball at us for what we were expecting/what we were told for the final, which really pisses me off...how I wish my gym was open! (he didn't actually tell us what would be on it, he's just like "the final will be a map analysis like the previous 2 labs"....

)

but now that I am done, I am going to be able to start working out again, once I get home for Christmas this weekend. so tonight I am going to devise 2 fullbody workouts, A and B and do them 3x a week

week 1 - a-b-a
week 2 - b-a-b

straight forward stuff.

SamEaston · 12-12-2007, 03:29 PM

YAY - Scar's back!!

Bet you're glad the exams are over huh? Now you can concentrate on enjoying your holiday!

It's nice to have you back mate

vortrit · 12-12-2007, 04:43 PM

Good stuff. I'm sorry to hear about your final. I hate it when they do stuff like that. At least, you go another chunk of school out of the way.

Scarface30 · 12-12-2007, 08:04 PM

so this is my standard run of the mill fullbody, it might change depending on what I have to work with when I get home. circuit training is also the name of the game, after seeing katt do her thing with the fullbody circuit, it seems like a good way to get the metabolic work up, something good for Christmas break.

the rep range is going to be around 8, might go higher though. please forgive me if my movements seem to be all over the place, it is just that I am lacking the equipment to do some things, and have a lot to do others:

Workout A
1 legged squats
DB rows
stepups
pullups (if possible)
bent press
burpees
bent over laterals

RI 2-3 mins (maybe longer) then repeat

Workout B
good mornings
incline bench press
1 legged RDLs
standing OH press
Bulgarian squats
bench dips
pushups

RI 2-3 mins or longer, then repeat.

I know have 1 legged squats one day and Bulgarians the next, but I would be unable to do back squats without a squats rack. that and I'd have to change all the weights on the bar from the OH press which would be a pain - especially when you are trying to do a circuit! I have to admit, I am pretty pumped to get started!

goob · 12-13-2007, 12:11 PM

Ohhhh....Your in for a world of pain. When I did my turbo HIT workouts, they absolutely murder you. There were times I could'nt lift my arms after a 20 minute no stop blast.

If you are REALLY desperate for pain, go for a 3-4 mile run straight afterwards........It's the most fucked I've ever felt. A destroyer....

Also, Bulgarian squats- if you have'nt done them before........best of luck!!
A great movement, but extremely brutal......

Pylon · 12-16-2007, 01:25 PM

Hey Scar...

Didja see the deal the Note pulled with the Ducks this week? Thievery!

Scarface30 · 12-16-2007, 05:10 PM

goob I doubt I'd be able to do a 3-4 mile run by itself!

Pylon hey Py, how's everything? I know, that got a complete one sided deal there, MacDonald for Weight? a soon to be retiree for a young speedster?

lol.

FINALLY BACK AT IT!!!
Prisoner Squats - BW/10,10
DB Rows - 50/8,8
Stepups - BW/10,10
Pullups - BW/10,9
Bent Press - 25/8,6
Burpees - 10,10
Bentover Laterals - 10/10,10
Single Leg Calf Raises - BW/30,30
RI - 2-3 minutes between the circuits (second circuit is the second set of numbers)

so I haven't worked out in a month...and it sure showed! I was huffing and puffing after this one. let's just say, if you want to add a killer move to spice up a work - burpees! I almost puked when I was finished, and I still feel like I am going to puke. my pulling hasn't gone down too bad either. I tried the 1 legged squats, but I couldn't get a very good range of motion, so I switched to prisoner squats.

all in all, I am very happy...and it felt so damn good to be back!

Witchblade · 12-16-2007, 05:15 PM

That's not bad at all! 10 Pull-ups is pretty damn good in fact and it's not even your 10RM.

Just an example of great management. They knew the Ducks were going to be in trouble with Niedermayer coming back from retirement, both in roster and cap room. They cut a slick deal and flat out stole that kid. I hate to lose Weight (again), but what a move!

It's OK to be a Blues fan again.

Youre crazy! Great CT session though, they kill you so much its awesome. Havent done anything like that for ages actually.

Welcome back dude, and whats more you did it with some sauce.

SamEaston · 12-17-2007, 09:46 AM

Killer workout there Scar!! Almost pissed myself when i saw the Burpees then read your comment - we used to have to do them before going on the water to race sprints, cus we didn't have much space to warm up. They are brutal!! Once, i was a bit over zealous and brought my legs up so fast i kneed myself in the chin - moron!

Hows the pain today?
