I wanna be outside, in the elements taking readings, constructing maps, not in a lab look through a microscope! lol other than that been playing Gears of War, and doing some reading. how's things with you?

Glad youre getting back into the groove so to speak .

I know what you mean about the diet. Just try your best, you just have to make the most of the food you can afford and get as much as possible from your workouts. Ive been eating a bit cleaner lately and plan to stick to it. Havent had a takeaway since christmas!

Call me weird though, but i kinda like microscopy. Its fun looking at things that youd never see otherwise. We do it with tissue samples and its scary because then you realise cells actually do exist! Lol!

Things are good with me really, training seems okay, its kinda fun to be back living on my own, studying isnt going too bad. Got my first exam on friday so keep your dumbells crossed.

I'll make sure to do that next time, Sam

01-17-'08
Week 2 - Lower

RDLs - RI 90
135#/10
155#/10
165#/7

kind of pissed me off because the RI between my 2nd and 3rd set was probably only about 30 seconds, it was only enough time to find some 5lb plates and add them in. my reason? some hot chick distracted me damnit! I just grabbed the 5lbers and slapped em on and went back at it. I could have definitely gotten 10 reps if it weren't for that

DB Lunges - RI 90
BW+40#/10
BW+50#/9,8

Hyperextensions - RI 90
BW/10,10,10

Calf Press - RI 60
270#/10
315#/10,10

Static Holds - RI 90
70#x2/60 seconds, 45 seconds, 40 seconds

stretched.

thinking about getting back into jumping rope, I need some sort of cardio but as it stands right now I really have no extra time in the gym when I'm there, I either have to get to class or go home for lunch before class.

yeah, but I can't blame them for being so hot.

I'm doing good, school is starting to pick up again, but nothing to hectic yet. weather has been really crappy here...crappy as in rain and warm:. how's everything going with you?

thanks man, and yeah like I said before, I can't be mad at her because she's hot, if anything I should have taken advantage of the situation, something as such:

Nick: "umm, excuse me but I just wanted to let you know because of your stunning beauty I wasn't able to reach my rep goal on the deadlifts." (but before that I would slapped on 2 more 45s on each side to make it look good)
girl: "...uuhhh...okay.."
Nick: "well I was thinking you should have the decency to make it up to me, like take me out for a drink sometime or something."

lol I really dunno how that would went over, but hey it mighta ended up good!

Week 2 - Fullbody B

Squats - RI 90
135#/10
155#/8,6

WEAK!

Seated Cable Rows - RI 90
90#/10
95#/10,8

DB Bench Press - RI 90
45#x2/10,9,8

BB Complex - 1st Round
Split Squats 55#/5
OH Press 55#/5
Hang Cleans 55#/5
RDLs 55#/5
Bentover Rows 55#/5

RI 120

BB Complex - 2nd Round
Split Squats 60#/5
OH Press 60#/5
Hang Cleans 60#/5
RDLs 60#/5
Bentover Rows 60#/5

A) Cable Crunches
115#/10
125#/10
B) Cable Chops - RI 60
60#/7
60#/6

didn't stretch, finished late and had to run to class.

so this workout was weak! my squats were horrible. I don't know why, but if I had to hazard a guess it would be because of yesterday at one point I went 6 hours without eating only for the fact that I had a class and then a lab but forgot to bring something with to eat. I am also contemplating changing the fullbody workouts around so my squats are towards the beginning of the week because this upper/fullbody/lower/fullbody is tough!

look at it this way, your legs wont be as sore.
and as far as the "hot chick" thing, they are usually alittle slow if you know what i mean. you would have had to draw her a picture and probably lost interest half way through.

Week 3 - Upper

Pullups - RI 150
BW+10/4
BW+15/4
BW+20/4,3,4
Incline Uni-Lateral DB Press - RI 150
45/4 each arm
50/4,4,4,3 each arm

DB Rows - RI 150
65/4,4 each arm
70/4,4,4 each arm

Dips - RI 150
BW+20/4
BW+30/4
BW+40/4,4,3

Incline DB Shrugs - RI 120
2x55/6,6,6,6

stretched.

so note to self: increase the weight next time - maybe. I hit all my rep goals this time while maintaining very good form, I want to keep my form the best. also had a great "warmup" today too. 10 minutes of walking...in -18 degree temperatures...-28 degrees with the wind chill! but I must say, I love the winter.

I love the strength work...but hate the long and kind of awkward RIs! lol

Good work Scar, you really are getting much stronger. Pulling seems to be your forte with those Rows and pullups. Dips are awesome too.

I second the above comments, your strength is really creeping up now.

Youve reminded me that i really need to get some sort of equipment to do weight dips and pullups again, havent done those in so long. I miss em.

Great workout, Scar!

Are you doing weighted pullups?? WOW - fantastic!!

Why the long RI's by the way? Do you really need all that time to recover? I do 5 x 5 with a 60s RI and it's usually enough for me

thanks man. yeah my strength is creeping up, I'm not as strong as I was over the summer, but will hopefully be there soon. pulling movements are by far my best, but as for the dips, if I were to be vertically pressing something over my head...it would be weak.

thanks OH. pullups are extremely hard. I don't think I could even do 2 pullups when I first started. I just thought "the only way I am going to get better at them is if I do them!"

thank you sir! I love the weighted pullups and dips.. although the long RIs with the weights around your waist is rather annoying!

thanks Sam, I used to do them over the summer, but stopped. this is really the first time since the summer that I have done high intensity/low volume training. and way to make me feel like a wuss! but yeah I don't even take 60s RIs on high volume stuff...I find I need it though, no way I am going to do weighted pullups with a 60s RI

Ouch. I think scar is starting to challenge for honours in the crazy workout stake after that BB complex.

How do you find hang cleans?

well I wouldn't go so far as to say I am challenging for honours of the crazy workout stake, but these are the highest intensity workouts I have personally done yet, but thanks nonetheless.

the hang cleans are awesome, I am really like that movement. out of all the movements I do in the complex, I'd almost have to say they are my favourite.

not bad. everything was decent except for the hypers, I found it really hard to grasp the 35lb plate while doing them and my lower back was really getting stressed, so I decided to scratch the 5x4 on them and go with a 4x6.
