Shane’s Journal

Great job today Shane! I like the way that one reads. Nice supersets. Congrats on the getting the weight going in the right direction too. Between the holidays and covid, I am scared to think of what the scale says now. :grimacing:

Solid session Shane. Awesome numbers on OHP, Pendlays and Deads. I can’t remember what’s heavy on leg press but I’m sure it was heavy too. :sweat_smile:

Thank you Trent. Yeah leg press felt heavy. I can’t remember the heaviest I used to go, but like a lot of things with my legs prior to knee issues, it was probably a lot heavier. LoL.

Mission accomplished.

Nice work on the Peloton Shane! Congrats on the PR! Bowling huh? Man, I’m not sure which one I suck more at, bowling or golf… :sweat_smile: Hope y’all had fun!

Thanks Trent. I am not good at it either but we have fun trying. :slightly_smiling_face:

Gym was really busy today which cut back on some supersets. My elbow and hip are still giving me fits. I might switch out to a PPL to give the full body workouts a break so can heal up.

Nice session Shane. Way to get after it on those box squats. Solid work on bench too. Getting your training max for reps is always a plus. :joy: Sorry it was so crowded. Looks like you got some good work in anyway. :+1:t2:

Bowling is the wife’s thing. She’s been at since we first came to the US over 35 years ago. She does/did the tournaments and leagues. Not so much any more with us living across the pond so much. They have 3 bowling alleys where we live in the PI and she says she’s surprised how good of a condition they’re in. I bowled with her on a league many years ago. Funny she never asked me again. Edit: Noticed the yours weights starting to head down. Good work.

Bowling is a lot fun. It’s a reward I give my son if he does well in school. He really likes to go bowling but I think he enjoys the huge arcaded attached to it a little more. I usually beat my wife but she got the better of me this time around. I claimed it was a glitch in the machine’s ability to keep score! :joy:

Appreciate it on the weight loss. This year seems to be a lot tougher than years past. That or I forgot how much work it used to be to drop weight. If I stay mindful and eat what I am supposed to without snacking and eating my son’s leftovers, I have no problem dropping the pounds.

Cardio
Elliptical at the gym

Decided to give the peloton and my ass a break so I headed to the gym to hit the elliptical. 40 on 120 off HIIT will get the heart rate up. Did that for around 30 minutes and the rest was warm up and cool down. Decent cal dump.

Great job on that elliptical today Shane. Great calorie burn! Sounds like bowling was fun. I really enjoy it too. It is one of the few places I go that has not changed since our childhood (and I’m a very nostalgic person). Well, correction, you no longer walk into a cloud of smoke at the bowling alley (which I actually miss). :joy:

Good job today Shane. Love the KB/Dips SS. Not to mention 12 dips is a lot at your BW (at least to me, lol). 1/10 of a mile is a pretty good distance for farmer’s walks. Sorry that your hip was hurting and hopefully you didn’t mean that you broke your elbow. :grimacing:

Thank you Trent. I really like that combo as well. Nope, elbow is not broke but it definitely needs a break. :upside_down_face:

Nice job. Yep, never seen anyone combine HS OHP and air squats, or Pendlays and step-ups. Good work on those and plenty of other upper body work. Way to get it done Shane!

Thank you Trent. The air squats I have found you can SS with about anything. Well except maybe squats. LoL. Anytime I put HS in my journal it = Hammer Strength machine. I try to use plate loaded only on those but sometimes cable machines are used as well. The step ups, I did pendlays in front of a half rack and the box that I box squat to was right next to it so it made it easy.
