Richard Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) My training log:www.godfist.com/traininglog.htm I really should have made a log a long time ago to motivate myself to do more. I have been recovering from a virus recently which I have been using as an excuse to do less. But now with a log here, I will feel compelled to do stuff in order to appear less lazy. Please continually give me abuse and tell me to do more, or just generally insult me. If I haven't posted tomorrow (monday) by the end of the day, I am officially worthless. http://www.godfist.com/vbb/Richard6.jpg Edited January 30, 2006 by Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I had the same problem in my old log, dunno what it is. Maybe you have to delete this thread and start a new log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 nope, i just tried to make a new thread, didn't work. I didn't copy and paste anything just typed it out and got bum-rushed and sent to the main page. Maybe I can make the log on an HTML editor and post link to it.

Richard Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Okay! Here is my log: www.godfist.com/traininglog.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 training has been failing due to illness and circumstances, but I am feeling better now and more alert. My brother had been referred to the gym by his doctor, and I am going to join the gym with a year's membership. That means I'll be going to the gym constantly now, like the old days, I can't wait. Hopefully I will then have lots to put in the log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 okay, joined up to the gym today and began working out again. didn't do anything mammoth today, still worn out from the Ninja antics yesterday, but it's a start, I feel great from it.

Richard Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 gymed it up on friday, was pretty happy with what I did, but now my right arm is injured in some way. Feels like the tendon(s) of the tricep on my right arm, which meet the elbow. On saturday I could barely move my arm at all without considerable pain (but not agony), and today I can only get my arm to about 90 degrees, I can't bend it all the way. There was some swelling underneath the arm. Hopefully I just pulled the tendon(s) and they are recovering :s anyway, the log is updated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Sorry to hear that Richard. I would suggest you take time to gently massage the area daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_raVen_ Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Oh, man...that sucks, Richard. I hurt my achilles and I'm dying because I'm staying off it...well, staying off it by not running . I'm cycling to make up for it. What's it keeping you from doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 it has been diagnosed as a tear in the bulk of the muscle itself, not the end of the muscle. The swelling is apparently blood from within the muscle, the swelling is now quite considerable. Now I can barely move the arm at all without pain. I've been putting ice on it and that makes it a bit better. I can't drive, weight lift, do martial arts, play drums, play guitar, and it's preventing me from doing normal stuff like brushing my hair or eating because I'm having to do it with my left hand and I am no good with it, grr.

Richard Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 And in addition to this you have turned into a guitar playing snake-man What do you mean 'turned into'? That is my face, that's how I look without the ninja mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Worked the triceps a little bit today, very small amount of weight, high reps. Hopefully I won't get pain tomorrow because of it, but I feel fine right now, no restriction of movement or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 I have gone to the gym every day this week (kept updating the training log), and feeling no pain. So tomorrow I am going to work the triceps a little harder, still not 100% though, just to make sure I don't screw it up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 http://www.godfist.com/thank2.jpg Richard! I love the photos man! Keep em coming. I'll make sure I keep enough webspace to sustain them all. I think we should work on a book project together....other than the one we've talked about. We should work on some sort of vegan ninja training or something like that with photos. Photos will be key to the success and the lovability of the book. I hope you're back in action without pain in your triceps. Keep on pushin!

Richard Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Training has continued, I went mon,tue,wed,thur,fri last week for an hour each day, and I have done mon,tue,wed this week so far. I fully intend to keep it up. I don't know if the log is valuable to me though. I think personal bests will be good to take note of though and update. At the moment I am doing: Day 1Rowing machine warm up 5 minutesResistance Row MachineLat Pull down machineBicep curlsHammer curlsLeg raises (quads)Bike 20 minutes or so (moderate for 10 minutes, then 10 minutes cool down) Day 2Rowing machine warm up 5 minutesSmith Press (flat)Smith Press (incline)Smith Press (close grip) - Although not doing that yet for fear of injuryLateral Shoulder raisesShrugsAbductor and the other one... for thighs and buttcheeksBike 20 minutes or so Day 3Cardio: mix up between rowing, bike and treadmill So really I am doing back + bis twice a week, and doing chest, tris and shoulders twice a week, and doing cardio another day. But sometimes I mix it up a bit, to do what feels natural on a given day, and avoid doing stuff if I am stiff. Also, on days that I feel like it I am also doing martial arts for 15 - 30 minutes at the gym in the aerobics room. My kicks are getting better each day. I managed to do 13 kicks on one leg without putting the foot down. I am also training my left leg a lot more. My right leg is my superior leg at the moment, I can do way more stuff with it confidently. So I am training left leg for side kicks, front kicks, round kicks, turn crescent kicks, inverted round kicks, jumping knee, jump kick, jump turn crescent kick and jump turn round kick. Those kicks are pretty 2nd nature to me on my right leg, but still clumsy on left leg. Working on hook kicks for my right leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_raVen_ Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 ...I managed to do 13 kicks on one leg without putting the foot down. That's kickass I know how hard that is to do. However, I'm sure I could take you...your only advantage being height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Had a proper sort out at the gym, a trainer took me round to make sure my form and understanding of the machines is good, and he gave me advice on a routine. I was already doing correct form for about 95% of all exercises which is good, but he gave me some new ones. Now my week looks like this: Monday: Chest and shoulders (side and top)Warm up on the Rowing machineSmith Press (flat)Seated Press MachineIncline Dumbell FliesLateral Shoulder RaisesFront Shoulder RaisesI am also adding the Seated Fly Machine thing sometimes, and will sometimes do Dumbell Press (Flat)Some cardio - bike or martial arts Tuesday: Back and Traps and rear shouldersWarm up on the rowing machineLat Pulldown MachineResistance Row MachineShrugsSeated Reverse Fly MachineInverted Sit-up thingPossibly do single-arm Dumbell Rows, but I don't like themsome cardio - bike/row/martial arts Wednesday: Abs and mid-sectionWarm up on row machineCrunchesSide Bends (with weights)Kneeling Cable Crunch thingsRoman Chair (I think that's what it's called, ab resistance machine)some cardio - bike most likely Thursday: Triceps and BicepsWarm up on row machineSeated Preacher curls with EZ barCable Bicep CurlsCable Tricep Pull-downsOverhead Tricep... thingiesome cardio - row / bike / martial arts Friday: LEGZ (i had previously not been doing much for legs)Warm up on bikeLeg ExtensionsLeg...
