Jesse's Finishing what I started! Snow Snow here i come...


Recommended Posts

10-11-2010

 

Squats 5x5 95lbs (3 digits starting Wednesday )

Overhead Press 5x5 65lbs

Deadlifts 2x5 140 lbs

pull ups with 135 pound assistance 9,6,5

Prone Bridges 3 x 30 seconds or so...

Burpees 15

 

I felt it was a decent workout, wish i could make some progress with the chin ups.I need to do what chewy suggested with the negative reps i think.still need to do cardio on a regular basis, probably in the evening after work just need to figure out what would be best.

 

I have decided to add Insanity earlier then planned..with me eating more for the strongliftsi have noticed my midsection and weight has increased.so i need to do something to counter that.I am going to do the fittest today (Tuesday)..

Morning Stronglifts Training

 

Squats 5x5 100lbs

Bench Press 5x5 75lbs

Inverted Rows (Modified 3rd notch from the top of Smith Machine) 20,18,12

Push Ups 6,4,4

Reverse Crunch 20,15,16

 

Push Ups i think dropped because of the fit test the day before.I expected this.Not sure why Reverse Crunch dropped but i am happy to be at 100lbs on squats.

 

 

Evening Insanity Training Day 2 Plyometric Cardio Circuit

 

My Body quit on me with the last set of basketball drills but i had my heart rate up to 153-158 throughout the whole video i did do.Except for the stretching.I am happy with the result.I will make it through the whole video next time.

 

also got my swimming trunks in the mail today so i have another workout option at the gym with swimming, or as most people will say when they see me..192 pound flounder flopping around in the water...

 

 

anyways day three of insanity tomorrow then on Friday i will do insanity in the morning and weight training at night due to overtime.Gym opens at 5 am and i have to work at 6 am...not a whole lot of time to work with.

 

 

Diet is still a mess especially when i am at home..I am pretty strict when i am at work or away but when i get home i turn into a junk food junkie..I really need some self control...kicks self in ass...

I think with the reverse crunches when i first did them i had my hand gripping the mat and yesterday i had my hands by my side when i was doing them...That is the plan with the inverted rows is to slowly make my way down..

 

 

 

as for today Day 3 of Insanity! Cardio Power & Resistance Done...falls down dead......

10-15-2010 did both stronglifts and insanity back to back...lucky today was recovery day on insanity so it wasn't quite as insane.I am going to cut back on stronglifts to just twice a week for 60 days while i am doing insanity and i am going to cut out the abs and pushups on stronglifts cause i do enough of them in Insanity.so i am going to do Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Overhead Press, Pull ups & Inverted Rows on the same day twice a week.the site says it will still work just make sure there is about a 2 1.2 - 3 day rest period between workouts but results will be slower.which is fine with me..

 

squats 5x5 105lbs

Overhead press 4x5, 1x4 70lbs

Deadlifts 3x5 150lbs

Chin Ups 120lb assistance 7,5,4

Prone Bridges 3 x 25lbs - failure

 

Day 4 of Insanity! > Cardio Recovery

 

 

todays is Pool time and Day 5 of Insanity! > Pure Cardio

decided today to do a hybrid workout of p90x and Insanity.It is becoming a real pain getting up at 3:30 to go to the gym.I am losing sleep and sleep is just as important as working out is.so for the time being i am going to go to the gym on the weekends for swimming and elliptical machines and racquetball and work on my pull ups.

 

I do plan on returning to the stronglifts workout sometime in the future.But right now overall fitness and cardio is my main goal..

  • 1 month later...

Haven't posted in awhile, hurt myself at work so was doing just cardio for a couple weeks while my hand healed.Last couple of weeks I got myself a trainer at the gym that i will meet a couple times a month to check measurement, set goals, do a workout, keep me motivated, all the usual stuff.I noticed the last month and a half I started to slack a bit so I took the measure of accountability by getting myself a trainer.I decided to Hold off on stronglifts until the spring and decided to do a three cycle workout per week and go apeshit on the cardio.I think right now i need to pay attention with my core because of my bad posture of being out of shape for so long.And just work on overall stability and take advantage of the snow season coming up, lots of endurance walking/training in the snow.(getting a pair of snowshoes soon)

 

My weight workout will be something like this.Do this curcuit for about four months, Then start the Bulking! I realize i wont have a lot of muscle to show but for me that is ok because my main goal has always been to be fit overall.I want to be able to run again without my achiles crapping out on me, swim, all the stuff I haven't done since High School.

Legs, Abs and Core

Chest Shoulders and Triceps

Back and Bicep

 

 

My cardio Options will be..

Insanity Videos ( just doing the videos not in no real order or following the program, at least not yet..too much for my fitness level right now to even try and follow the guidelines)

Spinning Biking - Bought this last spring for the sole purpose of keeping myself fit(ter) when winter came about, well it is here.time to get busy!!

  • 1 month later...

Finishing what i started..yeah right..stepped on the scale this morning for the first time in a month and i gained 10 pounds the last month (204), and that ain't muscle..really pissed at myself right now..Diet has been shit, Working out has been sporadic at best.I am a pacifist at heart but i really want to kick my ass right now.....

 

anyways went to the gym this morning (first time in a month) and i am starting stronglifts 5x5 back up again, I made a huge mistake last time when i stopped,and I think i am going to add some core filler to the workout.Like today I added some stuff that i saw on a couple Crossfit workout like holding a 45 pound plate over my head and walk around..

 

Anyways I am going to do a 2-3 day juice fast to clean this shit out and detox myself a bit until new years then it is nothing but Quinoa, Water, Greens, Protein Powder and Fruits...
