You people are so dirty. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Tuesday January 10

5 minute warmup @ 3.5
3 rounds- 60 seconds at 10.7, 120 seconds at 7
5 minute cooldown
19 minutes total.

Who would have ever thought that 0.2 mph was that much of a difference. I almost passed out.

I am keeping my mouth shut

Deserve · 01-11-2006, 10:21 AM

Enough....I apologized. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Unlike some of you I actually have to work during the day so I sneak in when I can. That doesn't allow me much time to over analyze my wording or spelling....SHEESH!!! Where's Jamie when you need somebody to say something that will take the pressure off you.

Bond007 · 01-11-2006, 02:44 PM

Sorry, Gabe. Even I can't dig you out of that hole!

Did I really just say that?!?!?!?!

ninja · 01-11-2006, 09:50 PM

Oh boy....... this log went down the crapper in a hurry.

EDIT: I just read that; and sorry for the horrible pun.

Double workout tomorrow. Too tired and busy today for anything. Workout in the afternoon and intervals tomorrow night. Or something along those lines.

cappuccino · 01-11-2006, 11:04 PM

Nick,

are your rests prescribed to be that fast during your intervals? I usually warm-up at your rest pace and rest at your warm-up pace. 10.7 for 60 secs is darn good!

ninja · 01-22-2006, 09:04 PM

Update coming tonight.

ninja · 01-23-2006, 01:07 PM

I think it's safe to post updates......

Wednesday January I have no clue because the forum was down

Superset 1
Squats
3x15 @ 170
Seated Cable Rows
3x15 @ 120

Superset 2
DB Push Press
8, 10, 12 @ 40, 35, 30
Rotational Lunge
3x15 (each leg)
The push press turned into a military press and because I have to check out the swiss balls, I swapped the supine hip extensions and the lunges.

Superset 3
Supine Hip Extension
3x15
Swiss Ball Weighted Situp
3x15 (+10)
The supines are much harder than they look.

This is one heck of a workout, and I had no idea that B would be harder. But it was.

Thursday January 19

Well, I made the mistake of going at 4:30 with the brilliant idea that I could watch "PTI" while on the treadmill. Ha! The treadmills were all taken, so I resorted to intervals on the track.

I ended up doing six straightaway sprints, and I have no idea how long or far I went. I was pretty spent though.

ninja · 01-23-2006, 01:14 PM

Saturday, January 21

Because it was busy AT 12:30 ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON!!! (F*(k the New Year's Resolution people) I resorted to do workout B on Saturday morning, when I knew it would be empty.

Superset 1
Deadlifts
3x15 @ 175
DB Incline Press
15, 13, 11 @ 55
For the love of God, this is the worst superset ever created. I don't know how I made it through. I can hardly wait until it's 3x10 with 45 second rest periods! (sarcasm)

Superset 2
Bulgarian Split Squats
3x15 @ 10 (EH)
Lat Pulldown
3x15 @ 120
I now have no legs left. Oh, great, it's romanian deadlift time!!

Superset 3
Romanian Deadlifts
3x15 @ 100
Swiss Ball Lateral Roll
3x15
A little awkward on the rolls, and I proceeded home to almost puke my guts out.

ninja · 01-23-2006, 01:17 PM

Championship Sunday January 22

5 minute warmup @ 3.5
3 rounds- 60 seconds at 10.7, 120 seconds at 7
5 minute cooldown
19 minutes total.

I went right at noon, when the rec opened, so I could get it out of the way before football.

One interesting observation, and it is like this on Saturday mornings too: It seems that females are more predispositioned to getting up off their butts after (presumably) a long night of drinking on the weekend to come and work out relatively early than guys are. The cardio area is always 90% female and was pretty filled, while the area with the machines, which is fairly male dominated was bare. I wonder why this is.

ninja · 01-23-2006, 01:20 PM

Monday January 23

Superset 1
Squats
3x15 @ 170
Cable Seated Rows (Close Grip)
3x15 @ 135
Had to do close grip because I had to work in with a tool that was just sitting there doing nothing on the row bench.
Though very tough in it's own right, this is not as hard as the deadlift superset.

Superset 2
DB Military Press
15, 10, 10 @ 30
Rotational Lunge
3x15

Superset 3
Supine Hip Extension
3x15
Weighted Swiss Ball Situp
3x15 (+10)
The situps felt harder this go round.

Well, the next time I see this workout it will be 3x12 with 60 second rest periods.

Tuesday, January 24

Didn't do intervals, I instead played 1.5 hours of full court basketball. Made sure to bust my butt up and down the court so I would get just as good of a workout.

Wednesday January 25

Superset 1
Deadlift
3x15 @ 180
DB Bench
3x12 @ 65
Had to sub in flat bench because the inclines were taken. Overestimated again on the weight, I am having a real problem with that in the higher rep ranges. Once again this was not fun. My deadlift form really sucks once I get past 8ish, so I don't know how much I want to go up on Monday.

Superset 2
Bulgarian Split Squat
3x15 @ 10 (EH)
Lat Pulldown
3x15 @ 120
Pretty brutal here. I guess I can go up to 135 for 3x12 next time, because the cable machines at the rec go in increments of 15. WTF?

Superset 3
Romanian Deadlift
3x15 @ 100
Lateral Roll
3x15

Goodbye sets of 15 and hello sets of 12 with shorter rest periods.

I also noticed a lot of different curl variations today, as well as a lot of people who obviously don't train their legs. I guess I was in a critical mood or something.

K-Court · 01-25-2006, 01:03 PM

Man, doing DLs up front and RDLs at the back end. AND the evil Bulgarians in the middle. That must suck. Ouch. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

oxymoron · 01-26-2006, 05:25 AM

Hey Nick, great log - how are you planning to do the different programs? Are you following one of the layouts or have you made your own up? I see that you're on FLI right now... Just finishing the Break In this morning so need to decide what's next. I don't exactly fit in with any of the 4 'types'.. Also - did you take the prescribed 'time off' after break-in?

ninja · 01-26-2006, 11:30 AM

O-

I ended up taking 4 days off between the break in and the FL1. I thought that it was enough rest, and I really was itching to jump in the gym.

I am going to do FL1 and FL2 and then see where I am at the middle of March. My timeline is to approximately May 12, give or take a little bit, and I would really like to be lean by the retreat April 8, but that may be a little unrealistic at this point.

But, if you thought the Break In was hard, you will be in for a shock on that first fat loss workout, and then especially w/o B. It's insane.

oxymoron · 01-26-2006, 11:46 AM

Great - thanks. I was thinking 4 days as well, so that's what I'll do.

I think I'm going to do FL2 next.. The break-in was hard, but I did find that I was managing better by the last couple of workouts, so hopefully the same will hold true for the FL's!

All the best on your timeline - I'll follow yr log with interest...
