It has been a little while since my last post. It is amazing how quickly work can consume and over take your life it seems. The past 2 weeks have been the longest of my life it feels like with work. Hopefully this is the end of a very long tunnel I have been going through.

Anyway, I have still been keeping up with my training which is probably the only thing that has kept me sane the past 2 weeks or so. Nothing too terribly notable training wise though this past Monday I did get a nice ego boost . I was doing legs and one of my exercises is walking lunges, which anyone who has done these knows how fun they are, but damn they work. I was doing my usual 3 sets 12 steps over 12 steps back (so basically 3×24). I decided to move up on my weights that I use for these and went with 120lbs on my shoulders. After my first set the gym owner walked over and said that was really impressive which made me feel pretty good. Sets 2 and 3 one of the trainers that works there came over and gave me motivation to fire off the last few steps on my sets and told me it was pretty impressive to see lunges like that with that kind of weight. Certainly not trying to toot my own horn, but it felt pretty nice to get a compliment or two.

I can’t wait till this coming Monday for legs again….those walking lunges are calling my name….

Well today was chest day, and my trianing partner finally showed up, finally…

Anyway, here is a quick rundown on the routine:

Incline DB presses: 12×50’s, 12×50’s, 12×50’s, 12×55’s, 12×60’s

Decline BB presses: 12×135, 10×145, 8×155, 6×175

DB Flyes: 12×30, 12×35, 12×40

Lying DB extensiions: 12×55, 12×65, 8×75, 6×80

Overall my chest felt pretty good after the workout. I think I’ll have some pretty good soreness by tomorrow. As I have always said, chest is my weakest muscle group so these totals probabyl look pretty pathetic, but I am hoping to gain enough stregnth to push past this point. If anyone sees something I am doing or not doing comments are certainley welcomed.

Thanks!

Well today was my leg workout, it flet pretty good and I am PRAYING for some DOMS so I know I kicked my ass today. Here is a quick rundown on the routine:

Walking Lunges: 3x 26 steps (55 lb dumbells)

Seated Calf rasies : 12×115, 12×135, 12×160 

Leg Press Machine: 12×300, 12×390, 12×500

Calf presses (leg press machine): 12×720, 12×900, 12×945

I cycled squats out for a week or 2 just to mix things up, they’ll be back soon enough though! I was a little short on time today so I had to abbreviate my routine, next week I’ll get everything in I wanted to here.
