Crystal Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hey Robert, things are awesome: http://awesomenessonline.com/Portals/0/awesomeness_poster.jpg Okay, too much "How I Met Your Mother" over the holiday break from school, but that is all over! Classes begin TODAY, and its time to get back to the gym as well. Was out all last week because I had my wisdom teeth pulled, then the week before that I spent entirely at a local farm animal rescue (wrestling goats so they don't steel the pig's food does not count as training). Week before that gym was closed. OMG it has almost been a MONTH since I've been to the gym! AaaaaaAAaaaaa!!! I had better get some squatting in, stat!

Crystal Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 13 Jan 2009 - Tues Bench: 10 x bar, 10 x 75 lbs, 10 x 80 lbs, failed on 10 x 85 lbs, 10 x 85 lbs Incline: 10 x bar, 3 x 10 x 55 lbsDecline: 10 x bar, 3 x 10 x 55 lbs*supersetted Rope Tri: 3 x 10 x 70 lbs Rope Crunches: 10 x 120 lbs, 10 x 130 lbs, 10 x 140 lbs Chins: couple, no full ones with palms facing out, then a couple negatives *stretching Holy crap, what a difference a few weeks away from the gym makes. My pecs/arms are weaker than a newborn kitten right now. I'm sure it will come back fast, but was sort of a surprise to me today. Also, school is kicking my ass right this minute. I'm hoping I find a nice balance soon as I haven't gotten a full nights sleep yet this week (was only 4 hours Mon night before above crappy workout). I can't function without sleep! Other than that, I'm strangely enjoying all my classes despite the workload so far . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 14 Jan 09 - WedQuick and dirty session at the rock climbing gym. I was there just under an hour when two huge groups came and sort of took over the gym . Was okay, I felt great going in today so I was really cranking and I'm pretty pumped . Could have gone longer, but it's getting late anyway! Time to go home (I'm on the train now), my mom just made a batch of fresh cinnamon rolls that she recently modified to make vegan - such a huge step for her and so nice. I'm lucky to have such a great mother (and I'm pathetic enough to live at home to reap the spoils ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 120 lbs yesterday), cardio on Wednesday, climb/shoulders Thursday, volunteer at a farm sanctuary Fridays and I keep my weekends open for fun like snowshoeing or shooting I also bought a new (to me) vehicle last week, I'll post piccies in a bit here!

Crystal Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Okay, last week finished up with a great couple of hours of bouldering at my climbing gym in SLC on Thursday and Friday was my farm sanctuary work day. On Thursday I didn't ascend many problems, but there were a lot of new routes and I'm starting to try a grade higher than I've been doing so it wasn't a bad session. Can't wait to try these problems again when I go back tomorrow. Also getting amped up for my summer move to Houston. I'm taking a week to get there with a stop for climbing in El Paso (a few days at Hueco Tanks, maybe some other areas as well), a day Dallas for visiting, then settling in Houston until the start of August.

Crystal Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Oh yeah, there will be tons of footage/piccies from the upcoming trip! Can't wait! 8 April 2009 - Wed*5 minute warm-up Bench: 12 x bar, 10 x 65 lbs, 10 x 80 lbs, 10 x 90 lbs, 10 x 95 lbs, 6 x 100 lbs Rope Tri's: 10 x 80 lbs, 8 x 90 lbs, 7 x 90 lbs *20 minutes cardio on eliptical*stretching Worked out with a friend today, which is nice because he makes me do more cardio than I would otherwise, which is one of my larger weaknesses right now .

Crystal Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 9 April 2009 - Thur*4 minute warm-up, eliptical DL: 12 x 95 lbs, 10 x 135 lbs, 10 x 185 lbs, 8 x 205 lbs, 5 x 225 lbs DB Shrugs: 20 x 30s, 15 x 35s, 8 x 40s *30 minutes cardio (10 rowing, 20 eliptical)*stretching Then I made the darn fool mistake of going to the climbing gym with my friends. NEVER climb after deadlifting! My grip was gone, my strength was gone. Could only manage the very easiest of climbs in the whole place and managed to loose some skin . Otherwise, it felt great to deadlift - its been awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
