ran 4.5 miles, did a ton of muscle work. I feel great! Then a mini bike ride and a post work out mini meal ! aaaaaaaah, the joys of endorphins.
 
Walked 3 miles of trails, did 7 sets of ten push ups and 3 sets of ten diamond push ups. 50 crunches and just ate a can of jack mac. God I hate de-bonen jack mac and washin it. Today was the first real work out ive done in over the last two years. Hopefully I can stick to it and increase it weekly.
 
No opiates today...

Got an incline bench in the office, w/ a 165 lb bar across it. Gonna bang out sets of 20 at random times during the day...like...now, for instance.
 
wednesday was the pec deck/lat pull down/tri pull down routine
played with some light dumbells yesterday
today was the same as monday (benchpress/seated row), but concluded with drop sets on both to the point where i couldn't lift really light weight.


feels good, man
probably feel even better manyana

good job dude. I bet you get sore off of it, lulz. 7 sets of 10 though? you should increase your reps and decrease sets dawg.
 
hilly 4 mi on the treadmill, with a fast finish
another 1.5 mi of jogging/stride drills

body felt like i'd been hit by a bus after workouts the past few days.
 
^i've done the exact same thing before. plus it sounds really lame when you try to explain to people that you were injured playing disc golf . . .

7 easy, muddy miles in the woods today. after a few days on the treadmill, kind of a nice reminder that i do this because i like it.
 
knuckle pushups, mantis pushups (do them off of your finger tips), and some crazy chinese "partner" stretches a friend taught me.

I miss lifting a bit. I cant cuz i need to trim down in size, but I totally miss beasting some weight around. Now I just do ab workouts and tone stuff. Its honestly hard to resist the temptation to stack more weight on.
 
oh aint no harm homie, im just trying to loose mass right now. i was benching a shaky 360 / solid 350 about 2 months ago, and i think thats about my upper limit for my frame. im trimming down to get a really slim super toned body, more akin to the kind of conditioning im doing now.


its a fucking rush putting up 220% of your bodyweight on a bench, 240% on squat, and 290% on your shrugs, i miss that feeling of controlling weight really well and maintaining form like that. but i think im an adrenaline junkie and its not enough for me, so now i gotta sit back and watch 2 years of really solid work slim away to pursue some new things.

Thanks man. An yeah i was sore a few hours later..

Im up early this morning. Got up at 5am and jogged about a mile and walked the last two. About to do some push ups and crunches. My old lady gave me her yoga ball and bought me a 35lb medicine ball with handles and a resistance band yesterday. She told me she would cover the gym cost for some weight training. If i stuck to it and went to her gym. I may take her up on it.

Hope your shit heals quick man..

Shiiiiiiit, homie. What I done been told is this:

Continue lifting big, heavy weights, while keep your protein up but calories down, and you will cut up.

Jus word on the street yo. You didn't hear it from me, mayne.

;)

i can completely relate. my two passions where exercise is concerned are pretty mutually exclusive (distance running and weight lifting), and there's something so frustrating about going from being really good at one thing to starting at the bottom with the other.

of course, in my case, it's usually injuries that decide when i switch, rather than my own choice.
 
^ holy shit i wish i could run 8 miles lol

yah, bored is a good description hah.

i train shaolin southern style kung fu now, 6 days a week, and having muscle makes it very difficult. the system is based on extremely fast and agile movements, requires godly flexibility, and places center of gravity very close to the ground (kills the legs), so having muscles makes most of the work extremely hard. its funny our system is actually much easier for women, as it is akin to their body type and flexibility. i also go to something similar to a chinese martial monastery, so the code of conduct and intensity of training is much like a military school. its a whole new definition of pain but it really turns my mind on good.

kung fu has a way of making itself the only exercise you can do. and that low horse position is a damn killer.

an older chinese man i know learned kung fu as a child in china. before he was 10, he had to spend twenty four fucking hours in low horse. amazing what the body can adapt to.
