So I don't even remember where the last log is that I started. I have been working out faithfully, but not doing a great job of keeping the log. I'm going to give the log another go.

Still, trying to get bigger and leaner. Probably should set more specific goals, but that's it for now.

Notes: I’ll have to check the machines and I’ll be able to add the weight amount later. I rushed through shoulders and really cheated them having to do machines. But hopefully can make up for them. I think I may have too many exercises on bi’s and tri’s – not sure though.

Cardio only today - 30 mins on elliptical ... fairly intense

bigDman · 10-26-2007, 09:04 AM

looking good. Ill be watching

liftintexas · 10-27-2007, 06:53 PM

My lifting and cardio attempts this weekend have been thwarted by some stomach bug that is not pleasant. My biggest "fear" is that I'm losing weight, which is tough for me to pack on. So all the week's effort, down the drain literally.

Hopefully, Monday will be better.

liftintexas · 10-27-2007, 06:54 PM

Thanks, bigD.

Frank.S · 10-27-2007, 07:10 PM

jcool20010 · 11-05-2007, 08:26 PM

Where are the squats and deadlifts?

EDIT: nevermind, I saw your note on the end of the leg day.

Good workouts though!

liftintexas · 11-05-2007, 08:33 PM

Excellent queistion on squats and deadlifts. I just changed programs today as of a matter of fact. I'm quite frustrated with my lack of progress. Not sure what to pinpoint it on, but the bottom line is my workouts lack intensity. I used to really be sore after lifting, and I like that. Now, it is harder not having a spotter, but I need to find a way around that cause other people obviously do just fine solo.

My other issue is my persistent knee issue. I've done PT, etc., but I think I just have some atrophy in that leg for all of my hesitancy around pushing legs too much. Case in point - tonight was the first time in 2 years I did squats that were not on a smith or some type of machine. That's ridiculous. Oh well.

So here comes Waterbury's TBT ...

jcool20010 · 11-05-2007, 08:35 PM

Waterbury's TBT is a great program.

Good Luck with it, I enjoyed it.
