45 min walking/jogging with gf and dog

yesterday was a rest day, other than 7 hours on my feet at work.

today was a track day:

3.5 mi warm-up
5 x [600m + 300m] w/ 400m recovery jogs
1 mi cool-down

pretty oppressive heat, but my body is acclimating really well so far.
 
First time in the weight room in a year:

5 minute warm up on the stationary bike

deep squats 95 lbs. 3x10
25 lb dumbbell press 20, 18, 16, 14
Close grip cable row 40 lb burnout, 55 lb 2x10
10 lb shoulder raises 2x10 to the side, 1x10 front/back
20 lb curls 2x21
30 lb. cable pull downs, one burnout set
50 crunches, 20 side crunches per side

Then I jogged the mile or so back to my house. That workout pales in comparison to the shit I used to do, but goddamn I am tired.
 
Haven't worked out today but last night I rode for 15 minutes after getting blazed, and during the day I pumped a couple dumbbells sets and did some push-ups.
 
I finally decided to get back into running!!! Nothing too impressive, but I'm happy =D

20 minute jog at 12 min mile pace
5 minute cool down

Lunges: 3 sets of 30 (15 each leg)
Bridges: 3 sets, 1 minute each

Stretch and shower :)

it's easy to kinda skim over a long list of numbers, but that shit's HUGE. never pushed anything over 110 on the dumbbell press.

haha thanks man. best I've done is 130s for 4 or something last summer. I find that incline dumbbell for me is my most successful chest exercise. I get the best strength and size gains from it. The problem is that its crazy tiring. Its the equivalent of an upper body squat or deadlift in my opinion. Just getting the 120s or higher into position and that first lift off requires enormous concentration and energy. I don't even try to have people "spot" me on this lift. They always end up fucking up my shit.

What are diamonds? Never heard of that before.

That's serious weight with the dumbells, especially considering it's INCLINE. My gym only carries up to 100s. That's crazy.
