So...Where Was I?

Pylon · 10-04-2007, 12:25 PM

Totally gassed. Had a little extra spark today, since it looks like my boss was sent packing yesterday. (I say looks like because nothing has been announced, but if you pay attention, it's pretty clear.) This is a bad thing for a number of reasons. Looks like the job search is about to go into high gear. There are a number of ways this could play out, and most of them are less than ideal. I don't think my job is in danger, but I don't like the way I suspect his chair will be filled. I'll keep you all posted as we go...

b_reed23 · 10-04-2007, 01:57 PM

...I think you could have done better on your Leg Press

Pylon · 10-04-2007, 03:35 PM

You are 100% correct on that. I went a little light, mostly because I was already sucking wind, I've got a double header softball game tonight, and my gym has the Nautilus leg press where the footplate changes angle, and I've never been very comfortable on it. I'll likely swap it out with back squats next time. Thanks for keeping me honest though!

Scarface30 · 10-04-2007, 05:07 PM

great workout all around Pylon

!

so what kind of split are you doing exactly?

DeadBolt · 10-04-2007, 08:35 PM

Hey Py glad to see your still hittin the gym!!!

Whats the split your currently doing?

Still playing ball eh...how much longer ya in for?

katt · 10-04-2007, 09:04 PM

Hey what issue of M&F is this WO in?? I just got a new one and it's jammed with a whole lot of different routines..

Pylon · 10-04-2007, 09:06 PM

Thanks, guys. The split works out to be shoulders/lats, bis/tris, legs/back, and chest/lats (I think). There is a different setup for even numbered weeks (it's a 12 week plan), but I haven't looked at it yet.

Good games tonight. We split the doubleheader, but I went 5-5 with two triples and hit the ball well, including 2 opposite field strokes. I think we have two or three weeks left.

Pylon · 10-04-2007, 09:07 PM

Between the gym and the games, I am totally gassed. And my boss is officially out, though they won't likely announce it until Monday or Tuesday.

...and they all probably conflict w/ each other...have u noticed that about M&F? One workout says: do 'this'...another one or article will say that the opposite is true...

October issue, page 124.

Skipped the w/out today. My body is begging for rest, so I decided to oblige. Will try to get in cardio tonight so the day is not lost.

I know how you feel...between work, running and weights...Im exhausted!

katt · 10-05-2007, 01:46 PM

I'm getting a feeling this is a normal 'end of the week' thing around this forum, because I feel the same..

Burner02 · 10-05-2007, 02:06 PM

heh...I'm just full of energy...oh..wait...'cause I haven't been burning it off in the temple of the weights...

There isn't anything wrong with getting all your workouts in Sun-Thurs! I am not a slacker...most of the time....

Pylon · 10-05-2007, 05:50 PM

Well, at least I'm not alone. But I've done enough work this week to feel OK about having burgers and fries with the family for dinner...and a beer...or two...

katt · 10-05-2007, 05:59 PM

mmmmm burgers & fries..

Pylon · 10-07-2007, 08:25 PM

Guh...a whole weekend of nothing, and I'm still dragging. Guess I jumped back in to fast. But the way I see it, that means I'm ok to get back at it tomorrow, right?

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

b_reed23 · 10-07-2007, 08:53 PM

Good overall workout. I'm feeling a little under the weather (yes, again), so I didn't push too hard, but still worthwhile. I cut out a couple of lifts for time, and I think this workload is right where I need to be at this point.

Archangel · 10-08-2007, 04:13 PM

W/O's are comin along like a champ my Friend!!! Be careful w/all your doin and feelin under the weather, sorry, can't help it, LOL!!! Best wishes in your new routine, looks pretty solid imo!!!

b_reed23 · 10-08-2007, 05:46 PM

nice!

Pylon · 10-08-2007, 08:37 PM

Thanks, kids. Feels pretty good to be back under the iron.

Decent game tonight, 2-3 with a double, but we lost 14-12. Great game, back and for every inning. Had we played better defense, we would have won. Glad there will be a playoff at the end. We'd like another shot at them.

DOMS · 10-08-2007, 10:06 PM

That's some crazy volume!

I did DB Upright Rows for the first time today. They're nothing like BB Uprights. It's like a whole other exercise.
