Week 14 Workout 2 ​

Dead Lift: 1 RM - 430, 5 RM – 385
5X185(5½), 5X285(8½), 5X385(10), 5X385(10), 4X385(10). Yaaahh!! New 5 RM, and a PR, again! I made a mistake here and went to 185 instead of 180. Ooops.

Standing Press: 1 RM - 160, 5 RM – 140
5X65(6), 5X100(8½), 5X130(10), 5X130(10), 5X130(10). Got em. Movin up next week. This is friggin tough. Honestly, I don’t know where I got the 140lb 5RM from. I’m so far off, I must have made a mistake when I wrote it down.

Pull Downs, Chin Grip: 1 RM - 205, 5 RM – 180
5X75(5), 5X120(8), 5X180(9¾), 5X180(10), 5X180(10). New 5 RM, and a PR!! This just goes to show, what you can do when you don’t know any better. I screwed up adding plates & thought I was going to my target 5RM of 165. Couldn’t figure out why it was soooo friggin tough. Did the math again, Doh!!!

Synopsis
Grrrrrreat workout. 2 new 5 RMs & 2 PRs.
Water 3½ litres

Great Job Amigo!!!!!

Thanks, man.


So, I managed to drag my sorry ass into the gym this morning.
Very basic, easy intervals.
Crosstrainer:
20 minutes, resistance 5 -10, incline 5 - 10, speed 130-200 strides per minute. 275 cals. I incorporated my cooldown into that, too, because I was a little pressed for time.
it's actually invigorating to wake up like that.

More to come tonight. Not showing a lot of improvement, but IMO there is some more visible musculature. I'll do commparisons, too.

285 LB deadlift

I'm gonna be stepping up the cardio & tightening up the diet. I've been basically eating to grow. Close to 3K cals a day, on average. Relatively clean. I like seeing changes. I'm seeing veins that have never seen the light of day, and getting comments from people. Some are good, some are so asinine that I take them as compliments.

Today's cardio. 4.5.07 ​

My goal with this is to work up to a steady state 6.0 mph for as long as I can. Back in the day I ran 1½ miles in 9 minutes (I think). That was my time when I left basic training. Passing was 12 minutes, or 8mph. Later I was able to regularly run 10k in 1 hr, which is 6.0 mph.

Treadmill: 30minutes, Incline 2.0, Speed 2.5 & 6.5 mph. 6½ minutes first sprint. Walked ‘til H.R. dropped under 130. Today was 16:25 and freeegin tough. Thought I was gonna heave. H.R. 99 - 175

After 1½ mile trial, I tried intervals Intervals. 1 minute run, walk ‘til HR drops under 130. Started at 6.5 mph & went up .2 mph each interval. After 2 intervals I had to stop 'cause my shins were fawking killing me.

Crosstrainer: Finished up on here for 10 minutes 10 min, resistance 6 HR 106 - 124 105 cals

Total for tha day, 655 cals. The first sprint of 6 1/2 minutes was, I think, the longest I've run in 20 yrs.

Today's cardio. 11.5.07 ​

My goal with this is to work up to a steady state 6.0 mph for as long as I can. Back in the day I ran 1½ miles in 9 minutes (I think). That was my time when I left basic training. Passing was 12 minutes, or 8mph. Later I was able to regularly run 10k in 1 hr, which is 6.0 mph.

Crosstrainer: Not today. I’s hardcore 0 min, 0 resistance, 0.0-0.0 mph HR Flatline 0 cals

Treadmill: 45minutes, Did a walking thing, ranging from 2.5 mph, to 4.5 mph Angle ranged from 2.5 deg to 8 deg.
After 20 min I started running intervals, 2.5mph walk at 2.5 deg to 7.0 mph run at 8.0 deg. After 3 intervals I felt a myocardial infarction coming on. Walked ‘til 30 min point, then started intervals again.
This time at a steady 2.5 deg. 1 min high, 7.0, 7.2, 7.4, etc up to 8.0 mph, alternating with 1 min low at 2.5 mph. Heart rate started at 103, got up to 160 at times, & dropped to 111 after 5 min cool down.

They say a good indicator of heart disease is how fast your hr recovers from intense exercise. 25 bpm drop after 1 min is good. Mine dropped 30 bpm after 1st minute.


After supper tonight I mowed the lawn with a rotary push mower. Old school, save on pollution. Took 1½ hrs. Prolly burned another 450 cals.


560 cals.


Water, 4.5 litres.
