2006 Pack: A Fat Boy's Shallow and Vain Journey

[Buk]

A little friendly competition? Maybe this will result in a showdown at the retreat! Good job guys, pushing each other for new goals is awesome motivation; for yourselves and the others watching.

[BFG]

yeh wa sthinking that re the competition its great that and the progresses in the weights are really benefiting from it

[ninja]

Thanks guys! I thought to myself that I could have taken it easy and gone up five pounds, but then I wouldn't have caught the IMLOD. And what fun would that have been?

Ok, 3x10 at 195? That's Monday. And that's not going to be a problem.

Who the hell rated my log one star? Effing people. I am just going to have to login under a different name and make it a five star post.

[K-Court]

The whole damned weekend is going to be spent in competition, lol.

Perhaps the same person that rated mine one star! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Sure. :rollseyes:

Whatever........

Friday February 3

Superset 1
Deadlifts
3x12 @ 185
DB Bench Press
3x12 @ 65
I have decided that I am going to propose a "weight room misconceptions and bad habits" idea for my first story for journalism class. Maybe because I am not in the greatest of moods today, but it just seems like I see more and more bad habits with each passing workout. Two different guys decided they were going to curl right behind the rack I was using for the deadlifts. I gave them the evil eye, but they didn't get the hint. Jackoffs.

Superset 2
Bulgarian Split Squats
3x12 @ 15 (EH)
Lat Pulldown
3x12 @ 135

Superset 3
Romanian Deadlifts
3x12 @ 100
Lateral Roll
3x12
Feeling like I was/am going to puke. This workout really took it out of me today. I wasn't really looking forward to going, but with all the crap I am going to eat this weekend, I forced myself to go. Had my normal preworkout shake routine, but I had to fill my Brita because it was empty. I wonder if the water being nonrefrigerated had anything to do with it.

Going to do intervals both Saturday and Sunday to hopefully counteract some of the food. I have been slacking off on my intervals because of my time schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I HATE waiting for a treadmill.

[Mahler]

Nick,
I think I pulled out ahead today.
Deads at 3x10x245
Romanians 3x10x205
You inspired me.

[ninja]

Just when I catch you in sqauts, BAM! here you come with the deadlifts. That is unbelieveable. There is no way in hell that I can do 245 for 3x10. But I am going to get you in the squats, and sooner rather than later!

Saturday February 4

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

Because of my slackage in these over the last week or so, I am going to continue with the three intervals through this week. Then, starting the 14th or so I will go up to four intervals. My abs are getting closer, I just need to keep working.

"But I am going to get you in the squats, and sooner rather than later!"

That's what I want to hear!

I caught you again today.

Monday February 5

Superset 1
Squats
3x10 @ 195
Cable Seated Rows (Close Grip)
3x10 @ 150
I *almost* got greedy and wanted to go for 200, but talked myself out of it, and it probably was a good choice. I don't think I would have completed all the reps at 200.

Superset 2
Standing DB Military Press
3x10 @ 35 (EH)
Rotational Lunge
3x10 @ 15

Superset 3
Supine Hip Extensions
3x10
Weighted Swiss Ball Situps
3x10

The sweat really didn't pour from this one. It was more of a general feeling of muscle fatigue than anything. I was still wiped out at the end, but not so much cardiovascularly.

[ninja]

Four Star Log!!!! Whoooo!!! Moving on up!

Tuesday February 7

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

[Mahler]

Okay, my man.
The old guy did 3x10x275 on deads this morning.
(A new record for multiples for me.)
Sorry to say, Monday squats were 3x10x205. LOL

I am doing this for your own good. You know that, don't you?

By the way, I gave you a 5 star rating.
You really are kicking ass, my friend.

[ninja]

AHHHH!!!!!!!

Fine. I'm jumping 20 lbs on the deads tomorrow. And I am jumping 10 lbs on the squats Friday/whenever I do them.

You're the one kicking my ass. And it's going to get me to my goals.

Wednesday February 8

Superset 1
Deadlifts
3x10 @ 205
DB Bench Press
3x10 @ 70 (EH)
Did it. 20 lbs. And it almost killed me.

Superset 2
Bulgarian Split Squats
3x10 @ 25 (EH)
Mixed Grip Lat Pulldown
3x10 @ 150
This was insane.

Superset 3
Romanian Deadlifts
3x10 @ 135
Lateral Roll
3x10
Something is wrong with my RDLs. Either my form is not right, or something. I look like the example from exrx, but I have also read to keep my back straight. And how much angle am I supposed to have in my knees? This one is throwing me for a loop.

[Mahler]

Steady progress, Nick. Nice going. Your DB presses are way ahead of mine. I am only pushing 50's. My forte is lower body strength, while yours seems to be upper. Gotta love to hate those split squats and yes the superset is insane.

[CAchief]

nice job on the 70 DBs Nick. That is impressive for a superset.

[K-Court]

You're doing really well with this program, Nick. I must say I'm really missing not tracking along with you. Half the fun of doing S2B was comparing notes with you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
