Well...not today...but yesterday I tripped shrooms with my boyfriend and went for a four hour hike in the woods. Then I went snow tubing. And helped dig out people's cars.

Did Starting Strength B.

Not a very good workout. It happens though. Starting to plateau on my press.

Going to have to start researching what to do next.

 

[drewmandan]

I ran though 3 km of back trails covered in 6 inches of snow with nuttin' but boots!

Practical Programming talks about what to do, basically if you've been progressing linearly and you miss reps for 2 workouts in a row you do a 10% reset and work your way back up (rather quickly actually, 5 pound jumps for the press maybe so your back in a week or so), which allows you time to recover. I think after 2 resets and another stall its time to move to intermediate programming. Upping the calories might get you some more linear progression too.

 

[phactor]

Thanks.

I'm upping my calories even more. I will do the reset as well. I've been doing extra work with machines, so I will lay off the extra should work. which I will lay off of for a minute.

Getting up at 6am and getting home after 6 is really getting on my tits - not able to work out more than twice a week unless I do it both sat & sunday, which are my rest days

today did a lot of chest exercises and some triceps too...was too quick today - only 45/50 mins workout...
almost took myself out by benching more than I could near the end of my session - so close!!

 

[Changed]

ran 1.5 miles, did both sides of the JHU stadium step, then ran 1.5 miles back home. grease groove pull-ups

 

[ColtDan]
