Okay this is the start of my deload cycle. I’m backlogged (again) in workout logs but I feel I should leave a few comments on the deload. The first day of my A deload cycle (for those of you who don’t know) is a period in a workout plan where you deliberately do a lighter […]

Started out today with a fun trip up One Oxford Center at a fundraising stair climb for the American Lung Association. I definitely used my lungs (and legs) to get me up 897 steps in 9:47, which I think is pretty good for a first timer. I however could’ve done better if I had listened […]

Today I had a fantastic run through Frick Park, one of the first days in a while it was nice enough to run outside. It was a horrible pace but I knocked out 3.45 miles. Then after that, did some bouldering! Not really a documentable workout but still great fun. Within several climbs my forearms […]

Okay today was developmental day and I felt like it was time to push squat development, ride on my breakthrough of my squat plateau. I felt like good exercises would be the regular back squat (while researching squat form I got a ton of nice protips on back squat cues) and then some goblet squats. […]

Catching up on posting my workout logs. Today was arm day, so this log will be short and sweet for personal records. For anyone curious while I did not follow the workout to the “T”, I did try Scott Herman’s “Tricked out Triceps” workout and it worked real good. My triceps felt like cotton candy […]

I’m very backlogged on workout writeups, but had a fun and productive week. This week was a St. Patty’s day leg workout. Unlike most, I wasn’t just working to burn off calories to justify beer binging, this is one holiday I felt good staying out of. Rocking the luck of the Hyrulians in the gym […]

Quick short log of my chest day. Kept it short, still nursing a sore shoulder but felt good about that because of the chronic issue I’ve had with feeling that I perhaps am going too long in my workout plan in general. Short workout means short log though. Flat Bench Press: Set 1) 5 reps […]

Alright a quick log of my back day. Was very groggy and tired to start this workout but the deadlifts woke me up. Deadlifts: Set 1) 5 reps @ 235lbs (plus one penalty rep for bouncing the weight too fast). Set 2) 5 reps @ 255lbs. Set 3) 2 reps @ 275lbs, 1 rep @ […]

Okay priorities for developmental day were making up arm work for bouldering and developing my squat, while trying not to aggrevate the shoulder. I wanted to have some light shoulder work to act as rehab work, which will be followed up by stretches, icing and rest after. First, squat development. For warmups I did 2 […]

Went bouldering tonight, this counts as arm day in my routine so I’m good. Keeping the log short because I could log info about how long I was bouldering but it’s more a social activity than anything. I usually pass some arm work to dev day after bouldering.
