Heh, the computer geek side of me definitely appreciates that.

Thanks Iain and Denise

No workout today. Worked again

AHHHHH, now you see my dilema about getting a new job in AZ -

 

[Jodi]

Yeah but I'm a workaholic so I kinda do this to myself

 

[GoalGetter]

AHHHHH, now you see my dilema about getting a new job in AZ -

what does it matter WHERE the new job is? What? is AZ in particular known for people working overtime?! hahaha! Jeez, you make it sound like it's a location-specific thing!

No silly...

I was telling Jodes that I will probably hook up a few part time jobs to keep
me focused on starting my own business, because a full time career sucks
too much of your time away... I know my personality, and I will become sated
if I jump into a higher paying ENG job

Today's Workout:

5 Cleans:
4 @ 65x3 w/ 65x3 Push Press
1 @ 75x3 w/ 75x3 Push Press - form got sloppy, I better stick to 65 for now

5 Clean Pulls:
5 @ 135x3 - I remembered the toe raise and I finally DIDN'T do a deadlift LOL

5 Front Squats
1 @ 75x3
1 @ 85x3
1 @ 95x3
2 @ 105x3

Totally stoked with those front squats I went ass to grass and everything. I think my strength is coming back with squatting more but I was in shock because I've never been able to front squats nevermind with 105lbs

 

[The Monkey Man]

You should try the no hands front squats (for help with balance) -

 

[Jodi]

I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet

 

[nikegurl]

niiiiice front squats!

and i loved the desk icon movie. maybe too much. (who me a geek? )

 

[PreMier]

I liked the movie too.. I mean it has death and destruction in it. Who wouldnt like it

Hi Hillary!

I went ass to grass and everything. I think my strength is coming back with squatting more but I was in shock because I've never been able to front squats nevermind with 105lbs

I felt the same way when I started doing front squats, I figured I would be doing alot less weight with have the ROM but that is not what happened.

 

[Jodi]

Thanks NG

I'm happy with them considering that last week I think I did 55lbs

 

[Jodi]

Today's Workout:

Spin 1 hour
Abs/Core

 

[Jodi]

Now that I'm a permanant employee at Intel, I found a sure fire way not to miss anymore workouts due to working late. The plant I work at has 2 fitness facilities so during lunch I'm going to make use of them. Overall it's not a bad little gym. Decent equipment!

I did alot more than I expected to today

3 Sets WG Pullups:
1 @ BWx10
1 @ BWx6
1 @ BWx3

3 Sets DB Rows:
1 @ 40x15
1 @ 45x8
1 @ 45x7

3 Sets Seated HyperExts:
1 @ 135x10
1 @ 135x9
1 @ 135x6

3 Sets Chest Dips
1 @ BWx15
1 @ BWx12
1 @ BWx9

3 Sets DB Press:
1 @ 45x12
1 @ 45x11
1 @ 45x8

3 Sets DB Flys:
1 @ 30x9
1 @ 30x6
1 @ 30x5

Felt awsome to actually work out when I still had energy and not at the end of the day when I'm drained.

 

[PreMier]

Damn, I can do almost as many pullups as you! That makes me feel good
