Well…
I feel invisible.
Is the cloaking device stuck on?
Stupid cyborg components
Friday - 7/15
Well I’ll keep logging. Need to document this somewhere…
So when they find my body, they’ll know what happened, lol.
Yesterday’s work out felt off and I bailed @ 205 lbs on the squats.
My knees hurt and I decided it was something I needed to listen to.
I did bump up my squat PR by 20 lbs in the span of 2 weeks, time to give the joints a rest.
I have league hockey tomorrow, need to step up my game.
Have the little ones this weekend, so I will take some off time from lifting.
Saturday - 7/16
PLP 5,6 - Missed Friday, caught up for missing Friday.
League hockey - Lost 0-2
A lucky bounce and an empty net goal.
Oh well…
Sunday - 7/18
PLP @ 7
Well, I’m working on a new workout plan.
I need to shock my body, I would like to be able to see a very noticeable improvement in 6 weeks.
I’ll post some of my observations on muscle gain tomorrow, just in case anyone actually stops in here.
Eventually, I will post in TILF again, but there needs to be something noteworthy to post.
Rather high standards there.
Monday - 7/18
PLP 4,4
Warm-up - 10 minutes sprints, crossovers, etc.
Squats - 0x12, 95 x 5, 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 205 x 3, 185 x 5, 135 x 5
First 185 hurt my low back. Right shoulder cramped after 3rd rep on 205. Yay.
Craxy 8’s
Tricep Cable - 80 lbs 1st 2 sets. 70 on the 3rd, someone changed the weight 
90 lbs on the last 2 sets
Barbell Curl - 60 lbs
Tri Kickback - 30 lbs dumbbells
Hammer Curl - 30 lbs dumbbells
Bench Dip
Rope Curls - No rope curl for the 1st 2 sets. Did another set of barbell curls.
Then got the low cable back, 60 lbs, then 70 lbs on the last 2 sets
8 reps each, 1 minute rest between sets, Made 5 sets.
This was ugly. Kept having people just walk up and start using the equipment while I was cycling through.
Roman Chair BW 3 sets x 20 reps
Nasty humidity in the gym. Yuch.
Weighed in @ 184.
I have not been visiting. New job type stuff.
What is the new workout plan or are you still in research mode?
So what are your goals busy? Body recomp? Hockey? Strength?
Charlie, thanks for stopping in. I understand all the changes when you have a new job.
Nadia, thanks too for stopping in.
I guess goals would be the place to start.
I weigh in the low 180’s generally around 183. I would estimate I’m somewhere around 20% of body fat.
I need to go someplace to have a good measurement done. What I have for calipers don’t really seem to work well because of some local body problems where the chart says to take the measurements.
I want to trade out 10% of the fat for more muscle, so I end up around 185-190 but @ 10% body fat.
The 185 lb range is a good weight for me playing hockey at, I honestly would be willing to go up even to 200 if I could hold the 10%.
So I guess the basics is bigger, faster, stronger and leaner. And have that spare tire around my waistline gone for good.
I have never really been able to get below the 15% body fat limit before, and I was suspicious of that measurement…
As for strength goals…
Squat 315 lbs
Dead Lift 315 lbs
Bench 275 lbs
Press 185 lbs
PR’s
Squat 245 lbs
Dead Lift ? lbs - don’t remember
Bench 225 lbs
Press 150 lbs - seated with 2 - 75 lbs dumbbells
So I have some work to do.
Finally, my “Bucket List” goals.
Beat my PR for running a 10K (49m42s)
Complete a marathon
Complete an Ironman distance triathlon.
As for training…
I am still in research mode.
I am considering trying Christian Thibaudeau “Six weeks to Superhero” plan
The one thing I have noticed is most of the “add muscle” programs involves complex movements and lot’s of weight.
CT’s is example of this. I have another program that basically just involves squats, deadlifts, weighted dips, and some chinups to put on the muscle. Basically 5 sets to fail, and push the weight limits. And a LOT of eating… 3500-4000 calories a day stuff
CT’s program is laid out, and there are videos to help explain. I like that.
Tuesday - 7/19
PLP - 9
Hockey skills camp - 75 minutes.
A lot of skating… positional play. Fighting for a puck in the corner against another person. Full rink races to get to the puck first and shoot on the net. A LOT of anaerobic skating…
Ouch.
I really suck at clockwise crossovers…
Wednesday - 7/20
PLP fail. Just never got to it.
Hockey - 60 minutes.
The game today was at a higher level then I have ever played at. New former junior players where there.
Felt old, clumsy, and slow. No goals. No assists.
Screened the goalie for a score to go in. Tipped the puck away from a former NHL player.
Did get have my 19 yo play. He fit right in with the speed the game was played at tonight.
I like your goals. Diverse. Did you watch the ironman this weekend?
Nadia: no, had the kids.
I have a lot of different interests, that sets up the different goals.
I have other bucket list goals, just not sports orientated.
I did the short course at the Floridian Ironman in 97.
Swam a mile, 30 mile bike, 7 mile run over parts of the Iroman course. That race started first, we started ours once they finished their swim,
Hawaii is only obtainable if I win a spot by the lottery ticket system they use.
