went to the gym tonight from 10:30pm til 11:45pm. It closes at midnight. Nice thing was it wasn't very busy this late, and I was able to do some supersets like the hypertrophy program calls for! Sure is a lot better routine with those supersets.....

Today was a strange workout. I had a 2 and a half hour class before I went to the gym. I ate before dinner, but I felt hungry again by the time I got in the gym. I can never seem to push myself as hard when I feel hungry. I was going well though when somebody that works at the gym came up to me while I was doing step ups and told me that they weren't allowed on a bench and I couldn't do them. I asked him where I could do them, he asked his boss who said nowhere. Assholes.

disappointed in myself. didn't feel 100% today when i woke up, took a power nap, then headed out to the gym. A combination of that and my legs not being fresh from last nights game probably affected this workout. I shot some jumpers for a little bit then headed out early. I will probably do some core exercise training later on to make up for it.

I should make a note I played about 20-30 minutes of moderate basketball. Was going to play longer but they closed the court down for practice, so I decided to do my workout seeing as how it was a 30sec rest day anyways. I think I was a little fatigued and it affect the results, but not too bad.

Only three more total h-1 workouts to go! My timing was a little off, I wanted to finish the workouts at the end of the first week of march, because I won't have access to a gym the second week. That would have been perfect for taking a week off before starting h-2. I will most definetly finish before that, but still wait until after my spring break, giving me almost 2 weeks between workouts. I will probably be playing basketball, running outside more, and do one or two full body workouts during that time just to keep me going during the break. Should be fun times!

after sitting on my ass all day doing work, decided to get the joints lubricated by hitting the gym for a lil' extra aerobic stuff. stretched out, warmed up, ran some laps around the indoor track (raining outside). Went upstairs and worked the bike for a lil' while too. My legs were sore from sunday's hypertrophy workout but it was still a nice change of pace.

Just a quick update

Taking some time off right now because I am on spring break and don't have access to a gym, and I plan on starting hypertrophy II when I get back. I have been doing a little bit of running, basketball, band exercises, and some agility drills in my backyard in the meantime. Nothing major. I feel rested and can't wait to start the next program.

Finally got the whole nike+ ipod thing running (it was my bday present). I tried to calibrate it a few times by running 400ms but it wasn't calibrating. It appears to be short about .08miles per mile. I decided to go for a little jog anyways.

3.11 miles in 30:18

As usual I decided to loosen up by shooting around a little, got asked to run some pick up, so I played a game or two for a little bit before hitting the weights. Bad idea, bad habit, I am working on it though.
