Th'as kinda how I judge how my impending workout is gonna go. If that 135 is heavy...oohh...crap. Hopfully, the mind will kick in...and can get in gear...

Isn't that funny how that works?

Nice workout JD.

Hey pick up the pace on those walks. These arent walks on the beach big boy!

A 14:00 minute a mile pace sounds slow, but very few people can 'walk' a mile at that pace. I know what you mean though. I *used* to be able to run 10k's at a 6:15 min a mile pace, and did a half marathon averaging just under 7 minute miles. That was a long time ago though....

The goal now is to keep my heart rate up after a weight workout, and a 14:00 minute mile walking pace has my heart rate steady around 135 bpm which is ideal for a 'fat' burn at my age.

Maybe I should get a NASM .

 

[fantasma62]

Great workouts JD, keep it up. I couldn't do a 30
minute mile, let alone 14, so keep upt the good work....

Lucky Luke, what are you instigating over at that other place..?

Hey JD, checking in with you, workout looks wicked...the only comparison that we have are when I compare my manly workouts to your rest days. Once I compare workout with workout, I mine looks like what a 14 year old girl might do (not trying to disparage 14 year old girs, but you get my gist)...

 

[Double D]

Hey JD how are you buddy?

 

[JerseyDevil]

Fantastic w/o's Brother JD, wish you did live closer, would be fun rippin it up w/ you!!!

I would be honored to work out with the mighty Arch!

How are you buddy?

No reals goals, just trying to maintain basically. I have been focusing on bench press lately. Been doing 5 x 5's, then 3 x 3's. It has upped my raw strength some. I will go back to higher reps and focus on something different, probably deads or mils.

 

[JerseyDevil]

Great job! Nice shoulder presses.

Hey Bakerboy, thank you for dropping by!

These were Hammer Strength shoulder presses, so don't go thinking I am that strong. With a regular seated BB loaded military, I'm good for 155 x 9-10.

 

[JerseyDevil]

Hey JD how are you buddy?

Hey DD. I dropped by your journal and posted. Sounds like you will be back on track in no time .

Sounds good.

I'm good. I should be done my MBA in 10 days. I just finished my last paper a few minutes ago (hopefully ever!!) I have two presentations to do on 3/20/07 then I'm done.

Besides school, baby duties, planning to do an addition on the house starting in April, travelling every other week (if not every week), training 3-4 days and doing my "real job"..........not too much ....

(it could be worse)

 

[Double D]

Nice SLDL's JD, they are impressive in their own!
