SeaSiren Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Jan 3- I slept horrible all night. Drinking that much water is no conducive to a good night's sleep What sleep I got was riddled with horrible bloodridden horror film type nightmares, something I haven't experienced in years.Got up at 6:30A tired of fighting the not sleeping issue.

Seasiren, sorry to hear about your stomach troubles. I had some too yesterday. All of a sudden I had an onset of such intense abdominal pain I had to go to the emergency room. I'm okay today though. Glad you are starting to feel better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I'm jumping in today as well. I'm starting with a routine I found while surfing "over35" BB boards. I have to lift a little more intelligently these days as my body is not as forgiving as it used to be. THe routine is called MAX OT very close to the 5X5 routine I think. One body part per day, 5 days in a row. 2-3 exercise per body part, 2-4 sets with 4-6 reps. I like it because it allows me to concentrate on one body part at once.

Tarz Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 For those paying attention; I haven't been slacking, I have been forgetting to post lately. I will try to update later today, as I have a new routine. We believe you, honestly we do. I can't believe you gave up on your new years routine on 9th January. I thought you woulda persisted for a lil bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hey SeaSiren,I'm battling the same thing.... TIME. That's why I'm hoping by splitting the routine into 5 parts it allows me to get a w/o done in under an hour. So even if I have to do something else I can still squeeze the w/o in. But we'll see if one w/o per week is enough to stimulate consistent growth. Hang in there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 I have mine split also, but don't want to workout past 8PM, it tends to keep me awake at night. I will have to figure something out, time is even more of a problem in the summer....but then again who needs sleep anyway? Don't worry, I'll work it out some kind of way, I always do.
