Pushups Plan Week 1 Day 2
Five sets:
4
3
2
2
5 (barely!)
HIIT:
5 intervals of 1 min work, 1.5min recover:
2@ 7.5
3@ 8.0
This weekend should be lots of fun... Bri is visiting and so are his sister and her bf. I really like hanging out with them, they're a lot like us and they're both so sweet. I think we're gonna do the National Zoo on Saturday as well and some other stuff in DC. DC really is such a fascinating place... I hate history but I find I'm interested in it when I'm here (to an extent!) Well, I have to go clean the apartment before they (and my roommate) come tomorrow. How did I acquire so much random stuff?! I don't know where to put a lot of it!

I just started the 100 pushup program too. Isn't it great that it only takes a few minutes? I'm really excited about it.
Good luck with all of your goals.

Thanks Chloe!
Well, today was my first day of non-compliance with the running and pushups program. I also didn't get the gym on Friday, and my eats weren't quite on this weekend either. I'm hoping to buckle down this coming week though. I want to start planning my meals in advance and then I'll have more time when I get back from work. Next weekend will be a problem with food as well since I'll be visiting friends and will pretty much be at their mercy as far as food goes. I think it's going to take me some time to get everything nailed into place. I feel very all over the place for some reason. I feel very un-motivated even though I should be very motivated. I guess it goes along with a general "blah" feeling I've had recently. I'm hoping to snap out of that sooner rather than later. Anyway, it's bed time... I must find the work gym tomorrow.. otherwise Planet Fitness here I come!

Ah yes - nice to see another PF person (I only go because that's where my trainer moved to from the Y). Been getting good workouts too, so I'm not as skittish about it as I once was.

Yeah, I was at PF since Dec of last year up in CT. I liked it, it had everything I needed (with the exception of aerobic steps, which would have come in handy for a few things) and it was CHEAP! which on a grad-student budget was key!

So I found the gym at work!!!! But I wasn't overly impressed. They have a lot of equipment, but they lack a squat rack. And I have to walk through the creepiest parking garage ever to get there... so I found the PF near me... and I liked it, so I joined. I got in my workout too. Here it goes:
I couldn't superset them since it was pretty crowded in there today, so I did straight sets for all but the last two.
A1: Deadlifts:
1x15 w/ 65lbs
2x15 w/ 75lbs
A2: BB bench press:
1x15 w/ 55lbs
1x10 w/ 55lbs
1x8 w/ 55lbs *these were hard today
B1: BB bent over row:
1x15 w/ 65lbs
1x13 w/ 65lbs
1x15 w/ 55lbs
B2: Dips:
1x15 w/ 90lbs of assist (too easy)
2x15 w/ 80lbs of assist
C1: RDL:
2x15 w/ 65lbs
1x15 w/ 75lbs
C2: Upper body russian twists:
1x15 (e) w/ BW
2x10 (e) w/ BW
*didn't realize these were only supposed to be sets of 10, not 15
Notes:
- glad to be back at it, but feeling pretty weak since I've been away from the gym for so long. It can only get better though.
Eats were good today, didn't track, but it's all good stuff.

Eh, it will take a little while for your body to remember where you were is all. Nice job getting back again.

Well, considering I didn't get all the days of the push-up plan in last week, and my numbers weren't that good anyway, I decided to start it over this week. My HIIT was atrocious today... I was just so not feelin it at all!
Here's the info though:
Push-ups:
Five sets, 4 of 2, then 1 of 5
HIIT:
1 min run, 1.5min walk after 5 min warmup
1 @ 8
2 @ 7.5
1 @ 7

I have days where I don't feel the workouts, too. Keep with it, Girlie.

Thanks girl! It's just a matter of getting myself back in the groove after being gone so long (only about a month, but still).
Plugged my food into fitday for the first time in a long time... ended up with 1952 cals, Macros were 37/35/28 (F/C/P) The cals were higher then I would have liked, but I find I am sooo hungry recently!
I am also pretty sore from yesterday.. and the longer the day goes on, the sore-er I get! Darn DOMS. Hopefully it subsides a bit tomorrow so I can lift again.

Day 3 of Bri's kick-my-ass plan
Oh goodness, my bf just might be the death of me! Why did I let him make this program for me? Oh yeah... because I want results.. just gotta keep tellin myself that! Phew! Still not quite back to the level I think I should be, but I'm getting there. My knees are giving me more and more issues and I'm starting to get really pissed off at/worried about them 
Anyway here's my hell-workout for the day:
All supersets have no rest between exercises
A1: Dynamic lunges:
1x15(e) w/ 10s
2x15(e) w/ 15s
A2: Assisted chin-ups
1x15 w/ 70lbs of assist
2x15 w/ 60lbs assist (I do not like this particular assisted machine...it's very awkward and I feel like I have to lean back or something... very strange)
B1: DB incline bench:
2x15 w/ 15s
1x15 w/ 17/5s (they actually have 17.5s!!! I was so excited!)
B2: DB bent row:
3x15 w/ 15s
C: Prone jack-knife evil version (pull knees to chest, hold 2 sec, extend legs/torso to pike position, hold 2 sec, go back to pushup position, hold 2 sec)
1x10 w/ BW
1x9 w/ BW
1x7 w/ BW
Oh goodness!  |

Pushups: Five sets:
4
3
2
2
8  
Um, yeah, holy crap I did 8 in a row!!!!
I have decided I need to make a change to my goals... I can't keep up the compliance I need with the HIIT because my knees are still giving me problems. But I am going to change it to 80% compliance with the push-up program, then I will probably re-do the program to increase even more. |
