Hey, I remember this place...

[Pylon]

Working it, Burnsie.

45 min bike, 3 rounds on the heavy bag. Felt a little easier tonight.

 

[naturaltan]

The heavy bag is a great workout.

 

[Pylon]

Loves the heavy bag. We've moved, and it's been gathering dust for the last year or so. Very happy to have it back in action.

 

[naturaltan]

Nice to hear it's back in operation.
Have you tried skipping?

 

[Pylon]

It sounds odd, but I don't have a good space for it. The bag is in the basement, but the ceiling is a little low. In fact, the bag stand barely fits. Once it warms up, I'll work it outside. I have a nice leather rope, too.

 

[Pylon]

45 min bike, 3 rnds heavy bag. Good times.

 

[JerseyDevil]

Good to see you getting back into it!

 

[Pylon]

Good to see you getting back into it!

Thanks JD. Nice to be back.

 

[Pylon]

Wi says down another 2.5 lbs. I'll take that too.

Aaaaand....it's refeed day. Just in time for football. Pass those wings, please...

 

[Burner02]

every day, is one step closer to your goal, bud

Well, not today.

You know, after thinking about Burner's comments about lifting before cardio instead of after. I'm thinking maybe I should be doing the same with the heavy bag. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Will be back to lifting this week, planning to go classic HIT. It's what I'm most familiar and comfortable with. Good way to get back into it.

I hear ya. Our basement is much the same.

Forgot to post w/out last night.

14 min: Tabata session on bike

Heavy bag work:

rnd 1, left lead:
1 min jabs (single/double/triple)
1 min combo (jab/cross)
1 min combo (jab/cross/hook)

rnd 2, right lead:
1 min jabs (single/double/triple)
1 min combo (jab/cross)
1 min combo (jab/cross/hook)

rnd 3, 1.5 min left lead, 1.5 min right lead:
combos (double or triple jab/cross/hook)

Morning workout. First time lifting in far too long.

As planned, stayed with the classic HIT routine. Didn't push to hard, trying to see how much strength I've lost.

Don't have the numbers at hand, will populate them later. But the big learning is the new plan for getting there.

Gym opens at 5:30. Is <.5 miles from home. Trouble has always been remembering to get packed up the night before (because I'm not doing it in the morning). Now, I'm close enough that I can go, workout, then come back home to shower and dress before work. It's an extra 5 minutes tops, and makes it much easier to coordinate.

 

[Pylon]

OK, numbers for this morning...

Bike - 5 min WU

DB lat raise - 15s x 10, 25s x 6

BO DB Rows - 15s x 10, 40s x 10

Standing BB curl - 30 x 10, 60 x 10

Tri pressdown - 50 x 10, 120 x 10
SS Dips - -100 x 4

Not great, but felt good to be back at it anyway.

 

[omerta2010]

Hey you made it and that's what counts. Better to ease into it to avoid injury.

You'll be suprised how fast the strength comes back.

Thanks. Easy to forget how much I enjoy it.

Got in a second workout last night:


14 min: Tabata session on bike

Heavy bag work:

rnd 1, left lead:
1 min jabs (single/double/triple)
1 min combo (jab/cross)
1 min combo (jab/cross/hook)

rnd 2, right lead:
1 min jabs (single/double/triple)
1 min combo (jab/cross)
1 min combo (jab/cross/hook)

rnd 3, 1.5 min left lead, 1.5 min right lead:
combos (double or triple jab/cross/hook)

Also, got the new scale calibrated with the Wii scale this morning. There's about a 2 lb difference.

So for record keeping, we will move the starting weight for 1/1 to 278lbs.

Weight this morning at 271.

No workout tonight. I've been starving all day, despite normal food levels, so did a clean refeed tonight. I've got a thing for chicken simmered in enchilada sauce, so I finished off those leftovers, then chased it with some shredded pork that I cooked in the crock pot with black beans and mango salsa. (I hit the wet stuff with a stick blender to make gravy while shredding the pork.)

Good times indeed!

Two days away from workout. Missed Friday, then off day yesterday with cheat day.

Back at it today, tho. 45 min on the bike first thing.

I also rediscovered an old love. Soyrizo. Chorizo is good, but the soy stuff, I think, tastes better and is way healthier. Mixed in with eggs? Brilliant.

On the road for a couple of days this week. Should be a good test.

 

[Pylon]

So far, so good. Clean food yesterday, got in a cardio session, food clean so far today.

now I'm hungry....thanks, pal!

 

[Pylon]

Sorry, Burns. Happens to me all the time.

Hey Pylon, you still working on the road or are you settled somewhere now and hitting the gym more often?

Still a part time roadie. It comes and goes, but it sure doesn't make it easy to keep food clean or workouts constant.

 

[Pylon]

Weighed in at 269.8 this morning. My goals was to be at -10 per month, so another pound to go, but totally in reach.

 

[Burner02]

Well, not today.

how about today?
