Not really PRs...at least, not that I know of. I've lost track of some of those things. But progress from last time, which is good.

On an unrelated note, my lats were twitching all day from the pullovers. That might be my new favorite feeling.

katt · 09-29-2008, 08:03 PM

10 years....ooohhhhhh.... hopefully the other half doesnt read this..

On another note.... what's a PR again.... I haven't seen (or accomplished) one of those in a long long time..

I could understand that ,but personally i dig the soreness.

Pylon · 09-30-2008, 12:26 PM

Cardio day. Did 1 mile on the mill again. Thought about more, but didn't want to push the shins to hard just yet. I'm going to try to ease them in.

Followed with a round of Tabata sprints on the bike.

Double D · 09-30-2008, 09:53 PM

Tabata, the worst!

Pylon · 10-02-2008, 07:45 AM

Tabata method is basically 8 rounds of sprints, 20 seconds at full tilt, 10 seconds at a stop. Throw in a couple minutes of WU/cool down and you have a short (but effective) workout.

You can do them with just about anything. Bike, run, squat press, pushups, jump rope, whatever. Very versatile.

Pylon · 10-02-2008, 07:45 AM

No w/out yesterday. Day of rest, though I kept the food decent.

Pylon · 10-02-2008, 12:13 PM

Lifting day (yay!)

WU - run 1 mile

WU - leg ext - 100 x 10

Leg ext - 175 x 10 (up 15 lb)
SS leg press - 360 x 10 (up 90 lb)

calf press - 450 x 20 (up 90 lb)

Good day. weights are getting sighted in nicely. I think that I was a little light all the way around last time, so these increases are no big deal. Next time, they will count.

Pylon · 10-02-2008, 07:55 PM

Dinner tonight - veg lasagna. Good times.

I'm also trying a recipe for black bean brownies. I'll get back to you on that one.

Scarface30 · 10-02-2008, 09:14 PM

congrats on the 12 years Py

superb looking workouts by the way, any progress is great progress!

black bean brownies, eh? sounds like a deadly combo...

Pylon · 10-02-2008, 10:33 PM

Thanks, Scar. Yeah, the brownies turned out GREAT! I'm shocked, but could eat the whole pan. Seriously.

(For anyone interested, just drain and rinse a can of black beans, then return to can and fill with water. Puree/blend until very very smooth. Add that to any off-the-shelf brownie mix and bake as directed. Mmmmm.)

Pylon · 10-06-2008, 12:19 PM

Monday in the gym.....

WU - run, 1 mi (4.5 mph)
WU - db laterals, 10 x 10

DB laterals - 25s x 10 (up 5 lbs ea) - ROM needs a little work here

BO DB rows - 55s x 10 (up 10 lb ea) - same ROM issue here

Standing BB curl - 90 x 2, 80 x 4 - was at 70, tried a double jump (for no reason that makes any sense). Will stay at 80 next time.

tri pushdowns - 100 x 10 (+2 reps)
SS dips - bw-55 x 5 (+1 rep)

Good day. Had a relaxing weekend and was fully charged to lift.

Scarface30 · 10-06-2008, 02:27 PM

good looking workout Py

. feels good as the weights climb up, huh?

did you catch any of the regular season NHL games in Europe?

katt · 10-06-2008, 08:55 PM

ya know,,, when you're feeling strong, you have to try those jumps, even if they don't work.. yanno???

b_reed23 · 10-06-2008, 11:24 PM

Pylon · 10-10-2008, 06:55 PM

Hey all....

Super busy week. No workouts after Monday.

Headed to NC next week, so will be relaxing a bit this weekend. Good times.

Hope everyone is well.

Pylon · 10-21-2008, 06:46 AM

Back from NC, not a workout in sight. Will do better.

Good trip, though. And headed back next week.

Hope all are well...

Scarface30 · 10-22-2008, 08:42 PM

your Blues are doing quite well right now. MacDonald seems to be fitting in nicely, and Boyes started where he left off last season it seems.

Pylon · 10-25-2008, 12:59 PM

Well, it was going well. Then Manny hurts himself stepping on the carpet they laid our for Palin.

You know, I'm a liberal in most ways, and am steadfastly against the GOP ticket, but I restrained myself from booing her because I had my 5 year old at the game with me. (And despite what I've read in the papers, the welcome was decidedly not a warm one.) But whatever the politics, I just resent that my hockey game was delayed for her to make a PR appearance.

Manny getting hurt is just icing on the cake.

Pylon · 10-27-2008, 12:21 PM

Despite the fact that I wasn't really in the mood, dragged my ever-sorry and increasingly weighty butt to the gym...

WU - bike, 5 min

WU - leg ext - 100 x 10
WU SS - squat - 135 x 10

leg ext - 175 x 10 (hold from last w/out)
SS squat - 225 x 10 (up 4 reps)

seated calf - 185 x 10 (hold from last w/out), added 90 x 20 (ouch!)

Scarface30 · 10-27-2008, 08:50 PM

good on you though Py. we don't always feel like going to the gym, but I bet you felt good later? nice workout to boot

yeah, that sucks about Manny. did you see what happened? I guess he stepped on the red carpet in the dark because they were rushing him out, and he fell. not really his fault.

Brodeur is on the cusp of being the best goaltender of all time, so I am pretty happy about that. I've backed him up since he won the first cup with Jersey. now all I need is a jersey...

Pylon · 10-28-2008, 08:00 AM

To hear him tell it, the guy was holding the carpet, then let go just as Manny stepped on it. WTF?

Yeah, MB is the man. He was almost St. Louis property back in the day. If only....
