    Why?
    Because I say so !!


    I don't do "benching" myself anymore, prefer dips and presses.

    I like some of the other stuff to: OHP is a great push exercise, dips, a lot of stuff to mix up.


    Probably won't get to the gym today, going to work out at hom.

    3/29

    4 x 2 min rounds of jump rope w/ 30 sec between

    some resistance band kazushi


    I'm going to try to do an aerobic base phase, just because I don't have motivation for weights, and I need to get into shape. I'm going to try and do 4 or 5 rounds of jump rope, 4 or 5 days a week, and add other stuff too. Nice weather is coming, and the idea of getting out on the running track for some sprints sounds great, and playing tennis with friends also. I'm going to add some shadow boxing/kazushi, we'll see where things go.

    5/10 Back at it

    The whole of last semester was pretty tough on my athletic life. I believe this summer I'll have more time for training.


    I have been skipping rope the past few weeks and this past week got back into the weightroom. I lifted three days, with really puny numbers (God I'm so weak).


    I wrestled with Matt today, and he absolutely kicked my ass. He hasn't trained in as long as I haven't but still managed to beat on me. I talked to some guys from pitt and we may start an open mat on tuesday and thursday evening.



    I'm back at it.....

    7/7/2008

    okay, it's been a bit of a hectic year, as this log shows. Grad school, jobs, and all of my sorry excuses have prevented me from training like I'd like to (take a look at my old log from 2007 to see how I'd like to train). I've exercised lately, bu not with any program or documentation. I got back into the gym today, and want to start a regular program, at least for the summer. I want my program to consist of:

    Three days a week lift, whole body lifting days.

    Grappling at Pitt when the opportunity presents itself (there isn't any formal structure over the summer), and when noone is there, working the heavy bags.

    Plus any athletic outdoors stuff that the summer and time permits.


    Today (7/7)

    Squats

    135lbs x 8
    185 x 5
    185 x 5
    185 x 5
    185 x 5

    Pull ups (palms out grip), bodyweight

    x 4
    x 4
    x 4
    x 4
    x 4

    Dips, bodyweight
    3 sets of 15

    some shadowboxing.


    Goals: Be strong, reduce stress, be healthy, be able to jump back into martial arts if the oppurtunity presents itself, reduce aging


    Well, this thread will be on the first page for the rest of the summer (and hopefully after that).

    The past couple weeks I've been doing all of this with very little rest between sets, just to change things up on my body. I've always recovered fully before starting the next set, but not now. Plus now I get in and out of the gym faster!
