Workout logs C25K W1D3 A bit late in posting, but we are keeping on schedule with this iteration of C25K. I also used this workout to return to the deadlift; I figured that it would be easier on my knees to bend down and pick something up rather than try to squat, and the
Heavy objects Workout Log: 29/30 March 2017 I'm somewhat caught up, with only two workouts missing from the current list, so let's get those out of the way and recorded before we move on to more interesting stuff. 29 March 2017 workout type: heavy objects body parts: chest/tris bench: 135x8, 225x5, 250x4, 250x4, 250x4, 250x4, 250x4,
Squat Workout Log: 27 March 2017 Hey, it's week 2 of the Smolov squat program. This is workout #2, which, fortunately, only consisted of one working set, because I had to struggle to get that final rep, and there was a point where I wasn't sure if it was going to go up or down. But,

Heavy objects Workout Log: 05 January 2017 Falling behind a little on keeping these things updated again; I thought that I'd written this one down somewhere but apparently not, and so I'm trying to reconstruct it from memory.

Heavy objects Workout Log: 04 January 2017 Someone asked me the other day how my training was going, and even though I've been in the gym pretty regularly for the last four months, I couldn't help but think that I'm not training enough, even though the event is still 9 months away. It's just not going to
Workout logs Workout Log: 29 December 2016 The last workout of the year wasn't so much a workout as it was just a test of where my 1RM is at for bench, squat, and deadlift. I was hoping for 1100, but I didn't quite make it. I think I could have gotten a bit closer if we'd
Workout logs Workout Log: 26 December 2016 I'm kinda taking it easy this week - only going to be in the real gym on Thursday, at which point we'll do final year-end testing of my 1RM for bench, squat, and deadlift. The goal is 1100, which I think is going to be a stretch, but given that
Workout logs Workout Log: 22 December 2016 Gotta get this in here before I forget about it, and then I'll go back to the second 2016 reflections post. I'm not sure what I was smoking when I thought it would be a good idea to train legs twice in one week, just a couple days apart. R
Workout logs Workout Log: 21 December 2016 The biggest problem I have with deadlifts isn't picking the weight up, it's holding on to the bar long enough to complete the motion. Once I get up in weight, my grip fails before I can lock the thing out. So, my forearms are sore as fuck, and it's shoulder
Workout logs Workout Log: 20 December 2016 Workout type:Heavy objects Muscle groups:Leg day! Deadlift: 135x10, 225x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5 Yeah, that's it - all deadlifts, all the time. One other item of note is that we did a body fat measurement today and I came in at 22.9%, which is a little
Workout logs Getting Back On Track: 26 November 2016 - 19 December 2016 It's been almost a month since I've written anything here, which might lead you to believe that I've either disappeared, given up, or just been a lazy shit who hasn't been training. As it turns out, none of those have been the case. What I have been is ridiculously busy
Workout logs Workout Log: 21 November 2016 Workout type: heavy objects, light cardio Muscle groups: back, biceps Note 1: The fitness center at my apartment complex has no dumbbells heavier than 50lbs, so if you ever wonder why you see a bunch of 50lb lifts, it's because I'm working out at home.
