Strength I: Off Day 3/28/07

1 mile walk

Pushups: 15x4

I was supposed to go to the gym tonight, but I had some things to do after work and didn't quite make it. I have a feeling this is only the beginning of evening walks with my wife this spring.

Strength I: 8-Mile Run 3/24/07

Distance: 8.00 Miles
Time: 1:20:54
Pace: 10:06

This was supposed to be 7 miles, but I pushed it to 8 about half-way through. Great way to end March.

Hey jruck, I only just noticed your signature change for the month (yeah, we're a bit slow down under

).
What is it with Team 2 and their signatures (Dave was dissin' us team one'ers too)? Maybe Team 1 smells like feet because we spent all month running

(actually, I was the team 1 member with the biggest shortfall for the month, so everyone was running bar one skinny Aussie).

Good to see you back for the April Challenge - Good luck.

jruck37 · 04-04-2007, 06:10 AM

Haha... Thanks, Kevin.

I've had that in my sig all month and you were the 1st person to say anything! I figured someone would make the "that's because we've been running" analogy a lot sooner.

Notes:

Not a great workout.
I ate poorly for 3 days prior to this and I think I suffered for it.
I've also running out of time to actually get to the gym lately, so that doesn't help.
I'll do better next time.

Distance: 1.02 Miles
Time: 8:47

I had hoped to run farther, but I painted part of the baby's room after work, which took me almost until sundown. I was glad to get this one in, though.

Strength I: Basketball 4/4/07

2 weeks in a row on a losing team. I played fairly well though.

Notes:

275x1 = DL PR
This workout made up for my previous gym time.
I've got 1 more workout to do in Strength 1 and I'm not sure what to do next. I've got 4 weeks until I run the Indy Mini-Marathon and I'm thinking about doing some sort of maintenance work and picking back up with NROL in May. If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears...

gobbla · 04-06-2007, 11:11 AM

Great job on the PR man!

Kevin Littler · 04-07-2007, 12:09 AM

Congrats on the PR Jamie - a PR coming towards the end of a Strength phase is perfect.

BamaDave · 04-07-2007, 07:49 AM

Jamie, congrats on the deadlift PR!!

As far as NROL -- I think it depends on how much running you plan to do. If you are going to ramp it up to a lot more than you are used to doing, then you may want to just go on maintenance. If not a major increase in running, then you may be able to move on to Phase 2 with no problem and take advantage of having the next phase follow up on the strength gains you've made.

Is Baby Jruck arriving before you could finish Phase 2?? Because I would definitely plan on going on the "I'm getting no sleep" maintenance routine for awhile!

jruck37 · 04-08-2007, 06:04 PM

Thanks, guys...

Dave- I haven't even had a chance to look at what I want to do next yet. I don't think I'm going to make it to the gym more than twice a week for the next month, so I might look on some running websites for a 4-6 week maintenance lifting plan.

New Rules of Lifting

Strength I: 6 Mile Run 4/8/07

Distance: 6.18 Miles
Time: 1:01:48
Pace: 9:59/Mile

Notes:

This was originally planned to be 9 miles, but after being out of town for the holiday weekend, I was not feeling the idea of such a long run. I'll try to make up for it tomorrow.
I actually split this run into 3 parts. After 3 miles, my shin was bugging me. So, I stopped to stretch for about 5 minutes.
I took a detour to my house so that I could stop to use the bathroom at the 4.6 mile mark. I also stretched some more.

1.5 hours of 5-0n-5 full court

jruck37 · 04-16-2007, 10:55 AM

New Rules of Lifting

Strength I: Workout D-4 4/12/07

Chinups: BWx6, BW+40x1 +5 lbs, BW+5x6 +5 lbs, BW+50x1 +5 lbs, 137.5x12
Hammer Strength Shoulder Press: 140x6 +10 lbs, 220x1 +10 lbs, 160x6 +20 lbs, 230x1 +10 lbs, 120x12

DB Bench Press: 140x8, 140x7 +1 rep
Seated Wide Grip Row: 125x8, 125x8

Ab Roller: BWx[10, 10]

Notes:

+50 lbs might have been a 1RM on chin-ups. I'm not sure.
That hammer strength machine is probably not a very good indicator of my strength on barbell shoulder press.
