penty

did 10 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls and 10X7 88# assist for dips repeated seven times in about 17 minutes.

I am barely able lift my arms…. ow ow ow ow!

Workout today:

10 push-presses #65, 10 assisted pullups, 9 push-presses #65, 9 assisted pullups, 9 push-presses #65, 8 assisted pullups, 7 push-presses #45, 7 even more assisted pullups. Then a quater mile run in 2:35 or so.

The plan had been to take this pattern all the way to 1 but my arms were abotu to fall off.

As I said this is probably going to make me sore tomorrow.

warmed up then did the following workout:

Row 1000 meters, 25 quick jumps, Row 750 meters, 50 quick jumps, Row 500 meters, 100 quick jumps.  Was be done for time and it took me 13:34.  

I had to just stand over the drinking fountian for more than a few seconds before even taking a drink I was so outta breath.  The “quick jumps” should have been jump roped but our gym doesn’t have any yet.

Sure I could have drawn it out but it still would have been the same amount of work so why not try to get it done fast?

I got a good 20+ minutes of the stationary bike tonight.  I had planned to do a lot more.  Just wish I hadn’t eaten like I was going to workout hard.  Oh well tomorrow it’s back on the wagon, or off, or which ever one is good.

last night’s workout: 500m rowing machine:2:47s, 10 pullup, 10 situps, 10 air squats, 15 pullups with 76# assist.  Then finally 3X5 90# deadlifts.  probably could have lifted more but it’s actually a very technical exercise and wanted to be sure I didn’t hurt myself.

I had a VERY terrrible lunch yesterday but apparently made up for it in the gym I guess cause I ended up losing a pound this morning.  Maybe if I workout hard enough I won’t have to change my diet very much or at all, we’ll all see I guess.

Okay, with the lost pound yesterday and the gained pound today so I’m right back where I started.  Woot!  It’s nice to know that by doing nothing I will easily return to my starting weight.  I was really worried that once the weight came off I wouldn’t be able to put it back on. Whew, what a weight off my mind!  Ok, that was sarcasm.  I was pretty tired and sore from the workout the day before yesterday (my first day really working out in a long time) so I skippped doing any kind of workout. 

I did watch what I ate yesterday but it seems that just watching was all I did, I failed to eat any less or stop eating anything (except a few candy bars at work which I WAS able to say no to).  That is my first BIG change, “NO eating the stuff on people’s desk or in meetings.”, and yes I mean those bowls of candy/plates of donuts and not the pencils, pens, and folders.  I’ll still let myself eat pencils, pens, and folders.

Well I made it there, the NEW gym that is. 10 push ups, 20 #88 assisted pullups , 10 #40 back squats, 10 #20 overhead squats, .2 mile running on toes (heard this can prevent a whole bunch of running issues), 500 meter row.

Not much I know but I had to start somewhere.

Well as the title says I’m starting on this site to have some sort of accountability for my health/fitness.  Maybe posting it to the whole world will be more motivational.
