This is a short log just keeping a record of the week’s happenings. Friday’s workout was only a short jog, 1.8 miles to get breakfast then 1.8 back. My pace wasn’t really intended to test anything, but the weather was similar to what I was expecting for Saturday’s 5K and I wanted to test my […]

Today was another “beginning again” day for me at the gym, this time with chest work instead of the squat work I had done the day before. My focus today was the bench press, and trying to wean myself off the smith machine. Chest day is a fun day for me because it’s all about […]

Typical arm day so this log will be short. Got to the gym late today (took another midday nap in my car) and it was packed, all of Monroeville seemed overly busy today for whatever reason. After warming up I hit a curl bar, started heavy (for me) with a 70lb curl bar and did […]

Today was a bit frustrating at the gym definitely, perhaps it was just low energy or a shitty night’s sleep last night due to carpal tunnel pain, but it was very rough. After my leg warmups which went well, I got started with squats. Starting with the front squat, my focus was twofold, one to […]

Deadlift mania today as I did some routines to focus on my back strength. My theme today and my theme on back day in general will be more strength training than mass building, so ultra high weights low repetitions many sets is the ideal. Just trying to push it to the max because my back […]

Had a great workout today figured I’d document it before I completely forget, yet again. In the spirit of Halloween I decided to try a new workout I saw from Scott Herman’s fitness channel on Youtube, Tricep Terror! First though I got in and hit biceps, also using some advice I had from Scott Herman’s […]

Quick record of my last two days of exercise, because I believe the best policy is to log everything. I worked both days rather extensively, and that impacted my ability to do any proper exercise. On Monday I decided to go for a fasted morning walk (no breakfast first) and burned probably 270 calories… not […]

Well despite having the first hangover I’ve had in probably 15 years, I did manage to get to the gym. I admit the bodily disrespect had a huge impact on my ability in the gym, but I’m happy… my workout was short, tough and I was sweating rather severely by the end. The first place […]

Just got back from a fun workout on back day and set some new personal records to aim to beat in the future. First for back day I did some deadlifts, and did 2 sets of 3 reps each at 225lbs which for me is the most I’ve ever deadlifted by a margin… my previous […]

Well today was supposed to be a rest day, a couple days ago I fell down and hurt my wrists in a minor way, but I have a carpal tunnel problem that especially creeps up at night and the day after the fall I did a hard back workout requiring heavy weight lifting that no […]
