I realize that these numbers are dismal. I was waiting on a surgery, so I figured I'd take a break and heal up. Had my Bicep done (not really). They opened me, saw that I was basically healed, then closed me back up. I was waiting for my GERD surgery, and took time off. Still haven't gotten my insurance OK'd. So I started lifting. Here goes. Doing "BIGGER FASTER STRONGER" set-rep routine BW 310-315 I've been dieting down from 330 a few weeks ago. Average caloric intake >1000 / day with 10-20 gm carbs. So weakness is ok, I guess. 2-5-2010 Bench (yep Bench) 2 warm up sets light 3X295 3X315 3X325 Back Sq 2 warmup 3X315 3X325 3X365 2-8-2010 Power Clean 3X185 3X205 3X225 DL 3X365 3X385 3X405 Towel Bench 3X315 3X325 3X350 Missed last rep Box Sq at parallel 3X325 3X365 3X405 Push press 3X185 3X205 3X225 1X230 (x 3) I've been doing other lifts, at lower intensity. 2-13-2010 seated rows 215 (full stack on machine here) 3X10 reps good mornings 185 3X8 reps rack pulls to shrug 315 5X5 reps front delt raise to overhead 55 each hand 3X8 reps Next week starts the 3X5 set/rep routine. The low back is really tight, but not in pain. Feedback welcomed!!!!!!! ------------- I should be training, not posting!!! |

I didn't cut it out completely. I was afraid of some sort of rebound withdrawal. I'm down to a couple about once a week.I have enjoyed a glass of merlot almost every night. ------------- I should be training, not posting!!! |

What is your caloric intake on this weight loss? If you were headed to gym by afternoon with only 400calories...your body is in starvation mode. That is NOT the best way to lose weight...well unless you want to be rail thin, weak as baby, and most likely very sick. Weight loss is most effective when you cut out 500-1000 calories from a diet and 'maybe' increase your cardio. Just cutting out the calories from an 'active' lifestyle is effective. Lifting those kinds of weights, I hope you are putting away at least 2500 calories a day. (That number would have me gnawing on people sitting next to me.) |

Well, I'm back on the beer thanks to an interesting day.I'll start with the GOOD. I was working with the HS throwers this afternoon. I had a freshman girl box squatting 225 for a triple. She has no clue what she just did. I could see dome of the baseball players looking over at this 14 year old and looking back at their under-loaded bar  . They clapped for her when she finished. There's another girl, same age who wasn't there today, who I think is just a bit stronger. I'm looking forward to this season.Now the BAD After the kids left, I started my lifting. During my second set of Box squats, I felt that, all too familiar, tearing in my left adductor  . Remembering my biceps tendon, I stopped right then. I felt like I could lift more, but I let discretion be the better part of valor.Next the UGLY As I got out of the truck (with an ever so slight limp), I noticed Lisa's car that we are getting ready to sell, has a long key scratch down the passenger side. ------------- I should be training, not posting!!! |

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.... I got the tentative OK from my insurance Co for surgery. Hoping to get it in early April, and ready to start the season by May.

2-24-10 Trained the kids today after about 6-7 easy stands with my homemade indoor stone. I didn't measure, but they felt good despite the adductor being sore. Just worked wit the kids in the weightroom for a while then did some push presses 5X135 5X185 5X225 just missed 275 (goal is to get back over 300 soon) 1X235 1X250X3 10X135 for speed X3 All were done with very little leg drive. I just didn't feel so fast today. ------------- I should be training, not posting!!! |
