Workout (5.19.10)

My last workout left me pretty sore, so I mixed things up a bit.

Squats: 135×5, 185×5, 235×5, 185×5, 135×10 – my legs felt a little too sore to do 5×5 of 235, so I decided to do a pyramid set.

Overhead Press: 125 4×5, 1×4 – So close!

Cleans: 125 2×5 – just for fun and some cardio

Deadlift: 220×5

Chinups: 3/3/3

Planks: 3 x 1min

Cardio: Walked 2 miles in 30 minutes at work

Workout (5.18.10)

Today, I had a culinary epiphany, which I’ll share about tomorrow. Suffice to say that I really needed to go the gym tonight. Stronglifts is still going well, and I’m pretty much back where I was prior to my ankle injury. Now I just need to eat better (read: less) or throw in more cardio to get down to my target weight. 😛

Squats: 235 5×5

Bench Press: 175 5×5

Inverted Rows: 10/10/10

Pushups: 37/27/22

Reverse Crunches: 3 x 12

Cardio: Walked 2 miles in 30 minutes at work, 10 minutes on elliptical at gym.

Mid-week Weigh in: 197

Workout (5.12.10)

Alright, time to break up these food posts with a workout log. I’m still keeping up with the stronglifts program, and although I’m getting stronger, all this BBQing is making sure I don’t lose any weight. So I decided to add in cardio to my workouts. Even with 15 minutes of cardio, the entire workout takes no more than an hour.

Squats: 235 5×5 – I’m more or less at my peak for squats. I refuse to be spotted for squats, simply because I’m not too fond of a man’s junk being so close to my butt, but that’s just me…so I’ll probably stay at 235 for a while.

Overhead Press: 120 5×5 – Now that these are getting tougher, I look like I’m taking the dump to end all dumps when I’m doing these.

Deadlift: 215×5

Chinups: 3/3/3

Planks: 3 x 1min

Cardio: Arc Trainer + Treadmill for 15 minutes and calculated calories burned: 200

Midweek Weigh-In: 196lbs. And that’s after having gone to the gym regularly the last few weeks. 😛

Workout (5.10.10)

Another week, another workout log. 🙂

Squats: 230 5×5

Bench Press: 170 5×5

Inverted Rows: 10/10/10

Pushups: 36/26/21

Reverse Crunches: 3 x 12

Cardio: Arc Trainer + Treadmill for 15 minutes and calculated calories burned: 150

Workout (5.7.10)

Squats: 225 5×5

Overhead Press: 115 5×5 – if at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again…

Deadlift: 210×5

Chinups: 3/3/3

Planks: 3 x 1min

Workout (5.5.10)

Squats: 135 5×5 – felt pretty miserable today so I decided to go light on the squats

Bench Press: 165 5×5

Pushups: 35/25/20

Inverted Rows: 10/10/9

Reverse Crunches: 3 x 12

Workout (5.3.10)

One good week deserves another! I’ve got a BBQ coming up this weekend so it’s imperative I get in good shape for meat intake of upwards of 3lbs 😛

Squats: 210 5×5

Overhead Press: 115 5×3, 4, 4 – Couldn’t crank out the last rep on the last 2 sets. 😦 For the stronglifts program, you retry the weight 3 separate times, if you still can’t do it, you deload by 10%

Deadlift: 205×5

Chinups: 3/3/3 – I figured out that these are really hard b/c I gained 10lbs since I did these in January 😛

Planks: 3 x 1min

Sorry for the boring posts today. I’m in training all week for work, so I should be back with some posts on BBQ and a chayote squash recipe next week. Be blessed! 🙂

Workout (5.1.10)

5 workouts in one week?!?! Go, Pop, Go!

Squats: 205 5×5

Bench Press: 160 5×5

Pushups: 34/24/19

Inverted Rows: 10/10/9

Reverse Crunches: 3 x 12

Workout (4.30.10)

Got back from my trip and headed straight to the gym – otherwise, I would’ve gone straight to a nap. 😛

Squats: 200 5×5

Overhead Press: 110 5×5

Deadlift: 200×5

Chinups: 3/3/3 – these are getting really hard…I figured out why on 5.3.10.

Planks: 3 x 1min

Workout (4.28.10)

Got in a quick workout before my trip to Atlantic City for work. This turned out to be a good thing as the Tropicana had a decent gym but charged $10 for its use.

Squats: 195 5×5

Bench Press: 155 5×5 – so it seems my theory about doing legs first is somewhat true.

Pushups: 33/23/18

Inverted Rows: 9/9/9

Reverse Crunches: 3 x 12
