vivalasvegans Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Muchas gracias for the support, it's hard for me to get used to ever being stronger or faster than a guy. it was pretty funny! Tuesday- running felt akward and clunky, i just couldn't get it flowing, weights felt tiring, didn't rly have a lot of energy. i need more sleep and to focus my diet better bike work gym home5 k run (24:13)20 min jumprope inta few warm up sets then seated overhead db press (3@20#x20)assisted wide grip pull ups 3x10superset wide grip pull downs (3@75x20) tri press downs (3@90x20)superset bb skullcrusher (3@40x20) db lateral raise ([email protected])med ball balance db mil press (2@10#x 20) Wednesday-my treadmill had stale air blowing on it, i had to sidestep 3 times and fan myself some fresh air... i might have been being a baby or dramatic, idk, it just felt gross and i didnt want to throw up. that gym has a reputation with a few people i've talked to for awful air around the treadmills, so i know it's not just me though. but idk if i can say i went faster today cuz i sidestepped those 3 times, total prob a 60 secs. bike work gym home5 k run (23:53)15 min jumprope intervals1 mile run (7:35)assisted pullups 3x10 to failuresuperset hanging leg lifts (4x20) weighted hyperextensions (4@25#x20)crunches 100 100/100 100 diet was standard, i need to replace at least some of my wheat with oats... i always feel so much better with oatssolution: start soaking oats as soon as i get to work im frustrated with my physical limitations but life is otherwise really great right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
