Geebus, Nick.
You're 21.
You have the time.
You have the energy.
Find it.
Use it.

ninja · 06-11-2006, 10:31 PM

I'm 20
I haven't had a day off since May 20.
I don't have any energy.
I lost it.
I can't use it.

Yay! Half a day off tomorrow!!!

Plate Squats
3x5 @ 25

Deadlifts
5x135
5x225
3x245
1x275
Shitx325
1x325
1x345
The 345 pull had somewhat of a rounded back. Probably because I can't realistically expect a 10 lb. increase every week

Close Grip Pushups
3x10

DB BOR
4x8 @ 45 (EH)
My movement plane is much higher with the DBs than the bar. I just noticed that today.

Lunges
3x12 @ 30 (EH)
Felt good to get a second leg exercise in again.

Planks
2x60 seconds
I'm stalling a bit here on these, most likely because I am not doing them on as much of a regular basis as I would like to. I need to bite the bullet and start busting my ass, even though I am working all of the freaking time.

Foam rolled and stretched before and after and I absolutely love how I feel when I get done. I can't believe how I lifted before I started rolling before workouts.

Enjoy the time off. Hang out at the pool or something.

Ha!

I went swimming for the first time in a long time today. Felt great to jump off the diving boards and play basketball and not have to worry about work. Now I'm going to take a nap......

Nick,
Great work on the deadlifts. 345 is awesome.

Same here. Great job, Nick.

Thanks guys! It's no Mahlerland, but it's good to know that I still have some strength even with all of these corrective exercises and stuff.

Lunges

Planks

ACK! Why can't I get 65 seconds?

Elbow is a tad sore on the outside today. I didn't pitch, so that really doesn't make sense.

Bumping this from the dead......

IT LIVES!!!!!!!!

Well, I would have really liked to have kept up with beach muscles, but my summer schedule didn't allow that too. Now that I am back at school, I am getting more time to workout, and should get back to 3 days a week of lifting plus some running and what not.

The reason I am bumping this back from the dead, is that I am going to finally get to see my abs. I know I have said that a million times, but since I have my own place now at school, I can control what I buy to eat. I am taking out all processed carbs during the week, except for pre and post workout, and Sundays will be my cheat day, where I will eat anything I want. I have been doing a good job so far on the food intake, granted it has only been a week and a half, but I am confident I can really see some results. The weekends when I go home are going to be hard, but they won't be numerous or bad enough to knock me off track.

I am also going to work extra hard on getting rid of my imbalances so I can resume doing presses and back squats. I have started to see an ART specialist, and after that first treatment my shoulders felt better than they had in years. I also got Magnificent Mobility for my birthday, so with the help of that and a good core program, I should hopefully be back to normal fairly shortly.

Wednesday August 30

Front Squats
3x5 @ 115
This was a surprise. I did 20 lbs more than I was back in June, and I did it with pretty damn good form. That's definitely good news.

Lunges
3x10 @ 35 (EH)
Legs are fried

Neutral Grip Chinups
3x6
It had been a looooong time since I had done these and I paid the price

Close Grip Seated Rows
3x8 @ 150

Pushups
3x12
I don't know why I could only get 12 here.

Core booklet (I gotta find the name of this thing) from MH

OUT!

Woah!

Welcome back to having your own training log...

Barbaro would be proud.

Mahler · 08-30-2006, 01:42 PM

Nick,
Nice to see you lifting again. Never give up. Never surrender.

ninja · 08-31-2006, 01:34 PM

I never technically "quit." Just never got to do it as regularly as I would have liked.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it.

Front Squats
5x5 @ 115
Ready to start going up on these considerably. The douchebag in the rack next to me-- who had terrible squat form and didn't even hit parallel-- kept staring at me, and even peeked over while I was at the water fountain to add up my weights. Yes, 115 isn't much, but as long as I get my ass down and the form right, I'm happy.

Lunges
3x10 @ 35

Neutral Grip Chins
3x6
The last rep was much better than last week.

Close Grip Seated Rows
3x8 @ 150

Pushups
3x12

Cable Woodchoppers
3x8 @ 80

Core Performance Essentials booklet. (I finally found the name.)

OUT!
