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 […]

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 […]

Got this workout from Scott Herman’s channel, I needed something short, intense, so I could get arm day in the books but have time to make it to do some good cardio… also the energy, I’m still feeling a little ill from yesterday, but better at least. Did some cooking in bulk which I also […]

Had an intense headache and a bit of nausea going into the workout today so felt really awful. Pretty sure I’m getting sick, which means scaling back the workout a little. That said, I felt I had enough energy to try but I realized rapidly that I didn’t have enough energy to truly put in […]

Did a short run on the treadmill of 4 miles, took approximately 40 minutes, had a slow to moderate pace and a few rest moments. Also skipped yoga (again, I will make it a priority to go next week though) but I didn’t skip the stretching, got a nice long 45 minute stretching session in, […]

Super short log, ran 6.5 miles on the treadmill in an hour. Was aiming for 6.8, so came pretty close. I figure if I can hit a pace of 6.8 on a treadmill it will be a good indicator of having the ability to run the half marathon under 2 hours. Unfortunately a good training […]

Quick log for dev day, the day where I pick up the pieces of the rest of the week. I feel particularly down this week due to the hard workouts of the last weekend, so I didn’t do as much as I usually do, but I did hit a few key exercises hard. Developmental Day […]

The last two workouts were a bit too brutal to try a third intense one right away, so taking a break from weight lifting today. It was very warm for winter, 48 degrees, and dry out so I decided it’d be fun to take a run. I was having an absolutely fantastic time, but ran […]

Tried an arm workout on a guest pass at a new gym. It wasn’t a good gym really, and I wasn’t going to prospectively join I was just curious about it. Anyways, I had a good time but had to do some weird exercises because I wasn’t down with the equipment selection. As usually stated, […]

Finally got back to the gym, the weather is still awful but the roads were fine this evening so it was time to play catchup. It wasn’t just me though, it was everyone at the gym including all the newbies with New Year’s Resolutions. Our gym is too packed to really want more people involved. […]
