Monday 12/27/2010:

-Warmup
-Double leg bounds: 4x5
-MR Tuck Jumps: 4x10
-MR Pogos: 4x5

-Squats: 205x3x5  :personal-record:
-GHR: 8,7,6 (Kinda pr-ish. Never done eight before)
-BB Calf Raise: 155x4x10

-Pullups: 2x8 (very strict)
-Dips: 2x15

-Cooldown, Stretch + PWO shake.

Squats kinda hurt... I'll probably keep the weight there at least another week. Doing that much for reps started hurting my back. I gotta let it keep up with all the DL's. Aside from that, pretty good workout. Gym was closed way too long for my liking.

 :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

congrats!

protect that back by gripping the bar tight and getting alot of air in you before decent.. just in case you forget that, cue that before your set.

peace man

Wednesday 12/29/2010:

-Warmup
-Sprint warmup: 4x10 yard sprints
-Single leg bounds: 5x5 each leg.

-Sprints. (on indoor track. 1 lap ~ 120m)
  -Jog lap
  -Run lap (70%)
  -400m pace lap (90-95%)
  -Walk lap
  -Rest 2 minutes
  -Repeat 3 more times. Alternating directions. (Because the corners are really tight and one leg take a bigger beating if you only go one direction)

-Shoulder warmup. (light lifts and junk)
-Bench Press: 140x3x5
-One armed DB Row: 55x4x5 each arm.
-Dips(+35 lbs.)/Pullups(BW): 3x8/3x6 (Full rest between super sets of course.)

-Stretch and PWO shake


Today felt pretty awesome aside from the bounds. My right leg feels really weak on those around my shin. When I first started I felt like if I weighed too much I'd just snap my leg at the shin... left feels fine though. (It wasn't a super painful kind of thing... it just felt really uncomfortable) Got slightly better towards the last set, but I still didn't like the feeling.

Bench was pretty awesome. Last rep felt like AF. HAHAHA, at the end of my workout I couldn't take my shirt off in the locker room, so I didn't bother changing and I just drove home right after.

Anyway... I had my sister take progress pics. I'll be posting them as soon as I finish uploading.

Haha, thanks for finding those, Damien. First pic on left that Damien posetd was probably 127 or 128. Second one wasn't too much heavier actually, probably not even 134. I weighed yesterday at the gym but their scale is off by some. 136.5.... I'm pretty sure that's off by at least a couple pounds, usually in light clothes on accurate scales I've been over 140.

I've never taken any back pictures. Those are the ones that surprised me the most because I actually look somewhat big from behind. The pictures I posted don't really do it justice, but I really like how my tris look when I flex. Same with the striations in my deltoids... those are my favorite.

Yeah... VERY light. I've always been really lean. Gaining weight is a problem. It's working right now, but VERY slowly. haha

i know that problem lol
forcing yourself to eat when you're not the least bit hungry isn't fun... The cool thing is that once you gained weight it isn't that hard to keep it :)

True... usually my bodyweight is very consistent, even if I haven't worked out in a while.

Gyms closed today and tomorrow.....

Going out of town for the night.


I think I should just get my own gym. Workout whenever I want, never have to settle for the city's schedule.... or just move in with Damien.... haha.

Anway, I'll be hitting it hard again on Monday when school starts up. First indoor meet is in less than 3 weeks. I'm excited.  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Yeah.... problem is.... I go to the rec center's gym because I have a student discount and I get in free right after school. Most of the "chix" there are middle aged women or not so good looking girls from my school... the girls in track are pretty though. :D haha. Well, I guess there are quite a few good looking girls there, but not usually while I'm there doing weightlifting. (Everyone's left by the time I get a chance to show off to the ladies :( )

Monday 1/3/2011:

First training of the year. woot

-Warmup.
  -3 laps jog inside
  -Dynamic stretching
  -Sprint drills
  -Static Stretching
  -Hurdle technique drills

-Squats: 205x3x5
-GHR: 3x7 (Woot. Consistency = real pr this time.)
-Pullups: 3x8
-Hallway pushups: ~10 or so. (Basically, pushup, flip over, pushup... like retarded cartwheels down and back a short hall :D  haha)

-Core
  -Planks
  -Hell sits
  -15 pikes

-Stretch + PWO shake.


Squats felt okay... not quite as hard as last time I did 205, but it felt more fatiguing. Could be because I've gotten a little used to taking rhodiola rosea before workouts. Good workout, either way.
