Usually when I get to the gym I can get focused pretty quickly, but today it wasn’t happening. I had a lot on my mind so I decided that doing heavy squats was probably not the best option (in addition some high school kid was doing shrugs in the squat rack…need those traps to […]

Well as some may have seen I haven’t posted in a few days which also equates to no workout at the gym. I took Thursday off after my workout from hell, even though I felt like I could have done it. Just needed to give the body a break. And then on Friday […]

The name of the workout that I did this week (and last week) is called Quality over Quantity. Before the workouts I think it’s just insane that I’m going to be doing them. I actually get a little bit nervous before doing them. Fear of failure I believe, but today for sure I […]

Today’s workout felt better than yesterdays which is a good sign. However weights still felt a bit heavy and I was a bit disappointed in the chest support rows. I guess it just goes to show how much of a difference there is between seated neutral grip rows and chest supported rows. […]

I’m not sure how productive the workouts for the next 2 weeks are going to be, but I’m going to get into the gym and get them done. I do find that when I’m stressing about stuff getting to the gym helps me forget about it, but in this case it will be there […]

Today’s workout was the conclusion of the week and honestly I have to say I’m pretty happy with what I’ve seen so far. Well of course besides the bonking and such earlier in the week, but I guess that’s to be expected. We’ll see how the new setup goes next week.
Seated overhead press […]

Yesterday when it came time for a workout, I just didn’t have the energy to do it, so I put it off. However today I hit the gym with more enthusiasm. I think with these conditioning workouts that I’m doing I need to take a longer break. So as it stands now […]

On my last post I mentioned how hungry I was at dinner time (and even this morning as well…which is something that I can’t recall ever happening), which got me thinking about nutrition and calories. I’d have to say that nutrition is my weakest point in my quest for fitness. I suspect that […]

Last night while looking at where some of my Technocrati tags went to I happened upon Pauls blog. Not only is he lifting, but he’s also a photographer…although he uses the inferior Nikon equipment! Just kidding!
What I found interesting about his blog was that he’s doing New Rules of Lifting by Schuler and […]

It should come as no surprise that after I got done with this conditioning workout that I was literally dripping with sweat. I kid you not. I did some stretching afterwards and I watched the sweat drip off of me.
I was semi disappointed in how I did in the workout today, […]
