vivalasvegans Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Wow nice job on the dips, muscle girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katz Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Didn't want to push it by running two days in a row. I'm aiming for no injuries in 2011! Good luck with that - may 2011 be totally injury free! I have to be careful not to get "over-motivated" & then get injured because of sloppy form or something else. It is too easy to want to push just a little harder & then end up with a strain/pull, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 aw shucks, you guys are too nice. 1/31/11: Squats:45x595x5115x55 sets of 5 @ 135 lbs (yay PR!)(wasn't going as deep as I should have been, should probably drop back down to 125) OHP:45x565x565x565x565x565x4 Deadlift:65x595x5145x5 (yay PR!)(once again, didn't really feel like my form was spot on for this, should probably drop weight back down) Assisted Pull-ups:3 sets of 5 @ 80 lbs assistance (hit failure on last rep) Rolled out my IT band, hot damn that hurt. Felt really good afterward though. In the evening ran a slow 5k on the treadmill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 2/1/11: 60 min. bootcamp class..it was really focused on cardio today. A bit of strength/abs at the end. She made us do burpees. Ew. 2/2/11: Ugh, felt kind of weak today. Squats:45x595x55 sets of 5 @ 125 lbsI dropped the weight down from 135 so I can get a better ROM. I'm working on my hips/hamstrings so I can actually go below parallel, but it's slow progress. Bench:45x55 sets of 5 @ 75 lbsThese felt really difficult. My arms were wobbly. BB Row:45x565x575x575x585x585x5These felt good Incline Push-ups:2 sets of 8 In the evening ran 5k on treadmill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adena Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 You're doing well! Why the "ew" on burpees? I always thought they were fun! Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Oh man I HATE burpees! But that's because they go against my lazy nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 2/4/11: I went into this workout feeling VERY hungry and running on very little sleep, so I thought it would suck. But actually I ended up having a kick ass workout. Squats:45x565x595x5125x5125x5125x5135x5135x5 OHP:65x565x565x565x565x4 <--ugh! I always fail here DL:65x595x5115x5145x5 Assisted Pullups:80x580x580x5 Meant to roll out my IT band but I didn't remember until I was already back in my office.

lobsteriffic Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 2/5/11:4 mile run. Took it easy and ran slow. My running stamina has taken such a nose dive since last August. Boo.

lobsteriffic Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ha, I need to get back on that, my endurance is so poor right now! 02/09/11: Was SUPER rushed today, meetings meetings meetings. The order is screwed up because some dude was using the equipment I needed. Oh well. Deadlifts:45x595x5115x5135x5155x4 Squats: --> usually do these first, my legs were already fatigued from deadlifts, wasn't happy with my ROM45x595x5115x55 sets of 5 at 135 lbs OHP: --> these sucked, couldn't concentrate45x565x565x565x365x365x2 Then I had to rush back to my office. In the evening went to the gym in my apartment complex. I didn't get to do pull-ups at lunch, so I did some lat pulldowns, I have no idea how much weight it was because the weight plates aren't marked, but I did 3 sets of 8 and it was heavy. 23 min. on elliptical (treadmill was being used) 3 sets of 8 inclince push-ups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growinglarger Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I went into this workout feeling VERY hungry and running on very little sleep, so I thought it would suck. But actually I ended up having a kick ass workout.It's really funny you mentioned that. I have noticed that too on many occasions. I'm tired-Drained but end up doing really well. I tend (because of time) to workout in the late afternoons so sometimes an issue. Congrats on your workouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks! Isn't it funny - sometimes when you think you will have a great workout it really sucks and you can't move any weight. The next time you can be starving and tired as heck and end up being super strong! 02/10/11: Trainer ride:Warm up: 5' z1, 30" on (Z4)/30" off (Z1), 5' Z2Main set: 14 min. of 30" on (Z4)/30" off (Z2)Cool down: 5' z1 34 min. total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Me too! Unfortunately it is so dark in the evenings that even though the weather is good I don't want to go out and ride in traffic. I'm kind of paranoid. 02/11/11: Ugh, did an AM run then lifted at lunch. Wasn't the best laid plan. Had to do it due to scheduling wackiness, but will make more of an effort to avoid doing so in the future. AM:3 mile run, went out way too fast first half (wasn't paying attention to my pacing), so by the second half I was looking kind of sad Lunch:(legs still fatigued from run) Squats:45x595x5125x5125x5135x5135x5135x5 Bench:45x575x575x575x585x585x5 (yay, finally feel like I'm making some progress here) BB Row:45x55 sets of 5 @ 85 lbs Incline Push-ups:2 sets of 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Vegan Joe and his lovely wife took us out for dinner tonight. We went to a delicious vegan place with a variety of Asian dishes. It was so good but I ate way too much. It was nice to finally meet him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneoranother Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Nice work on squats and bench - keep progressing! Wish there was more vegan restaurants in my area. There are some nice vegetarian possibilities in the capital city and some vegan folk kitchens, but nothing fancy and not a lot milk- and eggless dishes at the restaurants and nothing at all where I live. But asian vegan food is SO delicious, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks! I felt stuck on bench for awhile but I think I'm finally starting to get somewhere albeit very slowly. Blargh, today I am SO lethargic and just feeling blah. Didn't go to the gym at lunch. Might go in the evening if I am feeling better. Honestly I feel like just going home and going to bed.

lobsteriffic Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Was feeling pretty crappy, then I ended up getting a cold. I haven't been sleeping or eating properly lately. Need to commit to getting to bed early and eating lots of nutritious foods. I also need to find a way to get outside more. I walk to work (~15 min. each way) but that's about all of the outdoors I get on a weekday. Most of the day I don't even pass by a window. I need to start going on walks during my lunch or at least going to the sunny cafeteria. 02/23/11: Noon workout:My first time back at the weights for a week and a half, but that didn't seem to make much of a difference.Squats:45x565x595x5115x5125x5125x5135x5135x5135x5 OHP: 45x565x565x565x565x565x3 (gah!!) Deadlift:65x595x5115x5135x5155x5 Assisted Pull-ups:70x3 (too hard)80x580x4 Food:Lunch: salad with mixed greens, broccoli, cauliflower, navy beans, nutritional yeast, and flax seedbaby carrots & navy bean dip2 apples, 1 orange Dinner:chana masalastewed collards & kalefruit salad with 2 kiwis, 1 pear, 1 banana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
