Exercise Log 2.27.14 (Dev Day, No Cardio)

By phoebusapollo on Thu Feb 27 2014

Today is developmental day, to catch up on all the things I left behind this workout cycle. Today my priority was to hit arms, to do abs which I neglect a lot, and to stretch myself out. Had a fantastic time! First, biceps… Heavy Bicep Curls: 3 sets of 5 reps @ 80lbs. Had to […]

Exercise Log 2.26.14 (Bouldering!)

By phoebusapollo on Wed Feb 26 2014

2.26.14 Went bouldering again tonight, put in some more serious work this time. Tried a few new obstacles and actually did more properly feel the workout. Today is arm day, so it’s suitable to go bouldering as a substitute. Will shore up anything else on my arms tomorrow on dev day. I keep meaning to […]

Exercise Log 2.22.14 (Back Day, No Cardio)

By phoebusapollo on Sat Feb 22 2014

After a rest day to join some friends out for an evening of fun, I came back to the gym looking forward to having a productive workout. Light week is over, so it’s time to get back to lifting heavy for a week or two. I’m going to repeat light week periodically though, just to […]

Exercise Log 2.20.14 (Dev Day + Cardio)

By phoebusapollo on Thu Feb 20 2014

It was a relaxing day today, weather is getting nicer and I got off work early so I took a nice midday siesta. After getting awake again and ready to go, I hit the gym for development day. My two weak spots this week were the front squats (my high volume, light weight front squats […]

Exercise Log 2.19.14 (Bouldering!)

By phoebusapollo on Wed Feb 19 2014

This isn’t really a rest day in my exercise log, I went bouldering with friends for a couple hours. Been hard at work at an indoor rock climbing gym trying to improve my spiderman skills. I had a great time and it technically is a physical activity at least in my book, was overlapping arm […]

Trying out mass cooking bodybuilder-style for the first time!

By phoebusapollo on Wed Feb 19 2014

Okay, for something a bit different now. Since starting my personal fitness program I’ve had a dodgy system for eating. As time passes it becomes obvious that diet can be the difference between big gains in the weight room, no gains or just getting fat again. A top recommendation by body builders is to cook […]

Exercise Log 2.18.14 (Leg Day + Cardio)

By phoebusapollo on Tue Feb 18 2014

Alright continuing light week, leg day! I’ve been looking forward to this since I got the idea for light week, and it was surprisingly hard in practice it was very intense and I felt it really hard afterwards. Which is great! Front Squat: I thought I could do more with a lighter weight, but front […]

Exercise Log 2.17.14 (Chest Day, No Cardio)

By phoebusapollo on Sun Feb 16 2014

Started my “light week” with the previous back workout, a week of primarily high intensity, low weight, high volume exercising. For the last couple months I’d been doing primarily heavy weight, low reps which is great but it’s good to switch it up. I may extend the light workouts a cycle or two, just to […]
