Went nuts at the gym today, for whatever reason I was really feeling it. One of the better workouts I have had.

Barley drank at all this weekend and haven't been smoking cannabis or cigarettes. Makes a big difference. My parents saw me this weekend and asked me if I was juicing. I told them I take that as a complement lol.
 
Tonight, chest, shoulders, tris


Incline bench press, 4 sets, 6-12 reps

Chest flies, 4 sets, 10-12 reps

Overhead presses, 3 sets, 10-12 reps

Lateral raises, 3 sets, 10-12 reps

Skull crushers, 3 sets, 10-12 reps

Push downs, 3 sets, 10-12 reps


Then, the daily 5 mile jog.
 
Started off with pullups to failure (23)

Then did a set of back squats (225x5)

^ dude - a question (just coz I would never dream of burning that many calories with my physique) - why, given your build being the same roughly as mine, are you running that much?!?!

I just did 70 minutes of Ashtanga followed by wolfing down a huge rump steak on a big bed of rice...I feel sated <3
 
Just 20 minutes on the treadmill... got one with a TV too which was nice. Starting to add light cardio in.

Planning on waking up early tomorrow to lift.

squats - 8 sets
incline dumbbell bench press - 80s 90s 100s 110s 120s x12 130s x7
front cable row - 100 120 140 160 180 x12
db military press 40 50 60 70
hamstring curls 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
 
5-8 miles of bike riding (my only mode of transport aside from my feet)

....and of course wayyy too many cigarettes, oh well, tomorrows another day...
 
Had a great morning at the gym:

Squats: 3 x 5 set a PB
Press 3 x 5 set a PB
Pulls: 3 till failure, did about 3 x 7

Then did some dips. Feeling pretty sore now, but good sore.

Just found out the Deck is open at my favorite pub, going to be having a good craft 23 ouncer for 5 bucks! Thats it tonight though.

Ashtanga ftw! :)

Today I walked for about 2 hours total (just around town) - does that count? I usually walk everywhere, so I guess not for much.

Also: 40 minutes of cardio at the gym
1 hour yoga (we did a moon salutation to greet spring today - lovely!)
 
Yesterday, Leg Day.

Squats. Like, a shit load of them. Then a bunch of curls, extensions, and other mother fucking leg exercises. Then, the daily 5 mile jog.


Today, Back Day.

Pull ups. Like, a shit load of them. Then a bunch of rows, shrugs, and other mother fucking back exercises. Then, the daily 5 mile jog.
 
Yesterday i started going to gym again after almost a year break.. Did some shoulder and chest workouts yesterday and today was mainly concentrated to legs and abs. Feels damn good after a long time.. My goal is to have some size to my shoulders and legs before summer and to feel overall healthier.. I'm planning on doing 3 x gym day and 2 x kettlebell swing workout days a week.
 
^ start simple and track it so you can see your improvement.

I'm a lazy bastard who's out of shape, and I do that when need to get back in a routine (never go to gym). So, here's how I do it: start with a notebook/paper to chart it. Have several columns (date, pushups, situps, aerobic, etc).

Each day do some exercises (don't kill yourself, start small). And then the next day try to just match it, or do one better (ie 24-25 pushups if you did 24 pushups the last day). Slowly increase.

You can track your weight on the same paper, and there won't be much of a change at first, but it will slowly start moving as you get more advanced.

Today i re-started my routine: situps, pushups, and stretches/lifting with 5 and 10lb dumbbells. I'll walk to work today for some aerobic.

It feels good to workout.
