I don’t know what I’m really training for other than to make my britches a little bit looser and make myself physically feel better. Hopefully I can get stronger too.
Seems to me, based on the above, you know exactly why your training…and all good reasons!!
Dateline Friday 3:37 am
Squat warm up: 135x20
OHP: 3x135x6, 2x135x4
Kroc Row: 5x110x5
Lat Pull down: 5x135x5
Above was done in super sets, with 3 minus of elliptical ‘rest’ between sets. I will raise the weights on all the exercises next time, I don’t feel like I really got the workout I was hoping for.
Off to melt a little bit at work. All I can say is this, 100 degrees beats 50 degrees any day!

3:37AM? JW we need to talk…that must have been one fast workout…more weight…I love it!

Above done in super sets with 3 minutes of cardio ‘rest’ between sets. I had a stomach bug Monday night and spent most of Tuesday recovering. I was initially disappointed with my training but all things being equal I suppose I didn’t do so bad.

Ok, 4:05 is acceptable (haha)…

Did the super set thing with 3 minutes of cardio between each set as ‘rest’. As the old guy said, “I thought I was gonna damn near die.” I was disappointed in my OHP weight. The bar was just damn heavy today. Guess I shouldn’t have expected so much from myself.
It was a brisk 82 degrees at 4am this morning. Looks like another scortcher in store for us. All I can say is it sure beats winter!

JW _ you and I get 20lbs bonus added to our lifts for doing it so early…ok I get 10 and you get 20 because you are way, way early!
you did the work that is what counts…next time will be better.
Thats one shitty super set. Fine work.
Thanks OG, but no bonuses for the time. I just wasnt sleeping at all.
Joe, your right, shitty and damn ugly. I need to work on that!

Above done as a super set with 5 minutes of cardio ‘rest’ between each set. Whooped my ass sure 'nuff!! I bit off a little more than I could chew with my Decline Bench Press. I think next time I may add some exercises to this super set. should have done some push ups and dips. I really wanted to try and train this morning, however a few demons decided to visit and I changed my alarm to a later time at 2: am… Oh well… there is tomorrow.
JW’s morning thought: Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.
7:40? Man! You slept in…big time…lol.
I don’t know how you do it. You never seem to get much sleep but you just keep on going. That would kill me.
7:40…must be a typo!! what ever demons came I hope they leave you quickly! Keep positive!

Cant seem to get any traction in training. Made it in Sunday morning and took to a total body workout. Did the lat pull downs, ohp, and inclines as a super set with 3 minutes of cardio as rest between sets.
JW’s morning thought: The metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.
You got in and did work, a lot of days thats a win.
X2 on what Joe said…traction will come just keep slugging!

Chest work was done in super set with 3 mins of moderate elliptical machine work as ‘rest’ between sets.

Did the Krocs elbows out, along with the other movements in a super set. Of course since i enjoy self torture I did 3 minutes of cardo ‘rest’ between super sets. Rest consists of the elliptical on level 3 at bout 50 rpm. Makes me sweat like hell. Hopefully I’m burning some fat. Which is the point, I guess. It damn sure does leave me with my ass dragging out the gym.
JW’s morning thought: It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity.
Fine, Fine, work young man…thats cardio lifting at its finest!

Good workout given i was recovering from taking 3 13yo girls shopping and to the water park. I needed to do something so I kinda free formed it and worked a little bit of everything. Spent the rest of Sunday at Lowe’s, and waiting for a long needed rain shower.

Did the 3 back exercises in a super set with 3 minutes of cardio ‘rest’ between super set. I should have done some Krocs but I kinda got lazy. Gotta re-dedicate myself to my training, i received some bad cholesterol numbers and triglyceride numbers Friday. Looks like I need to pay way more attention to my diet and really get my nose to the grindstone in the gym.
JW’s morning thought: It is a well-documented fact that guys will not ask for directions. This is a biological thing. This is why it takes several million sperm cells… to locate a female egg, despite the fact that the egg is, relative to them, the size of Wisconsin.
