Thanks Trent. Yeah the gyms are going to be a little nutty here for a while. It usually dies down around Valentine’s day at my gym. Once everyone gets there first real cheat meal on Valentine’s day the resolutions seem to fall to the wayside. LoL.

Solid work on the last two sessions. Nice calorie dump on the elliptical and then a nice leg day. Good numbers on squats, especially after all that other work. I hear you on the gym. Don’t think mine is as bad as yours but imagine it will be busier than usual for a while.

Thanks Trent. Yeah my gym has a high school directly across the street and another one a mile down the road. It’s a zoo in there right now.
I am going to try going otw to work tomorrow around 5:30. I don’t think any of them will be up that early.

Happy New Year. UGA pulled a rabbit out of the hat last night and somehow won that game. I feel like the Buckeyes deserved to win that game but Georgia just wouldn’t go away. Of course some luck at the end on a missed field goal helped too.
I have been on the other side of those games where we lost and couldn’t hold a lead. Bama has beat us a couple times where we are whooping them the whole game and they came back and beat us.
I feel bad for the kicker from OSU.
Go Dawgs.

First workout of the new year. Decent one knocked out. Gym was busy but not crazy. I didn’t get in early today. I didn’t want to get up that early on my day off. LoL.
I have been considering doing a push up per day thing I have had in the back of my mind for a long time. It’s basically 1 push up per day by date. January 1st would be one, 2nd would be two, etc. all the way up to December 31st being 365. This should get pretty hard about mid March. I get all day to do them though so that makes it much more manageable. I plan to do a minimum of 15 per day starting out up through January 15th. No need to get down in push up position and do 1.
If I start running into overuse injuries I will stop.
Happy New Year folks.

Happy new year! Sorry for my slackness. Solid work on the last several sessions. Several good bike rides and some strong lifting. Great bench numbers. I hear you on that game. We were over at a neighbor’s house and watched the whole game. We kept both our kids up until 1:00AM that night (very bad mistake). We didn’t watch a single second of the Times Square festivities. I was pulling for your Dawgs but to be honest, I was hoping OSU would have made that field goal. I hate it for that kicker. He should probably be on suicide watch… We rewinded that kick five times and I could come to no other conclusion than he just absolutely blew the kick. The snap looked good. The hold looked good. Hell, that could have been me out there kicking that ball and it may have looked better. LOL Sucks for him but at least you guys get to go to the big game again. The wife (whose house we were at) was a hardcore OSU fan. Talk about a massive let down to end the night. LOL
Interesting push-up challenge. Sounds cool but that has overuse injury written all over it. I’ve been thinking for a while that it would be cool to pick one day out of the year and do like 1,000 push-ups or something. Shoot, you could do 100 per hour for 10 hours and accomplish that. Not too bad. I’ll do that with you if you want. Maybe we could get other people to do it and raise some money for charity or something?

LoL. Thank you. Not sure how far I will get with it. I might sub in some other bodyweight movements to help.

Thanks Trent. Yeah, the guy just missed that kick. I hated it for him but honestly if he had made that kick, I would have hated it for our kicker who missed 2 kicks himself in the game that he usually hits. It is why average looking Joe’s can play a game that is dominated by the world’s top athletes. It is for their nerve and ability to perform under pressure to hit those kinds of kicks.
The push up challenge will be interesting. It is more of a way to try to keep doing push ups and maybe improve my poverty bp. I am sure I will end up subbing in some other bodyweight movements along the way.
You 1000 push up sounds fun. Not a bad idea.

I know weight can fluctuate, not going to stress it to much. I am also adding in creatine this week so I don’t expect to lose much. It would be nice to hit 248 again by next Monday though.

Solid work on the elliptical Shane. Creatine huh? Nice! Haven’t used that since college. Doesn’t it make you retain water? I can’t remember the science of it… 
Glad your weight fluctuates in both directions, unlike mine.

Thanks Trent. Yup on the creatine. It is the one product that is legal that has been proven to actually do some good without any adverse side effects. It does make you retain water, but it is all intramuscular water retention which is a good thing.
Yeah but my weight can fluctuate 10 pounds in a week.

Great session Shane. Tons of work and I would have never known that was an early morning squat workout. 
Great sets on those and the rest of it. Way to get it done!
