Last workout for a few days

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

I’m headed off this weekend to see my little brother out in Idaho, so I’ll be without a gym and without these workouts that have been transforming me. However from the sounds of it I’ll be doing plenty so I suspect that if I’m careful things will continue in the right direction. Not […]

Fat loss Deadlift Workout

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Of the two workouts this one always seems to kick my ass the most. It’s probably because of the Bulgarian split squats. Oh and the Romanian deadlifts don’t help either!
Deadlift I upped the weight by 5 pounds and it was fine. I probably could put more weight on the bar, but we’ll […]

Week one complete

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

Week one of this program is complete and I have to say that so far I’m quite impressed. And Alwyn’s programs kick your ass (My workout partner said “Now I know why they call it fat loss” He was huffing and puffing pretty good…and he didn’t do everything!). So if you need […]

Some observations about Week 1

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Well the first week of this program is almost complete. All that needs to be done now is a workout tomorrow and some measurements. I’m not expecting a whole lot to happen with the measurements, but I might be surprised. So some thoughts. Since I’m traveling next week, weigh in and measurements will […]

Day 3 - I will be sore tomorrow!

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Today’s workout was a grunt and I know I’m going to be sore come tomorrow. There’s just no way around it. But I’ll go to the gym and get stretched out and hopefully feel a little less sore.
Things are going well. I’ve been a little light on the calories for […]

Day 1 – I survived!

Monday, August 21st, 2006

This morning I wasn’t sure how things were going to go. I was a little bit tired but I thought it would wear off. It didn’t. Probably the 2 hour meeting about nothing that caused me to be groggy…but that’s a different story. So any how I went into the gym not […]

Project Fat Loss

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

For whatever reason I always seem to go through these phases where I want to lose a bit of fat. I’ll do strength for awhile and then I’ll get bored and want to do something else and it ends up being some kind of attempt at cutting the fat. There are a couple […]

This is going to H-U-R-T!

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

Today I did some of the exercises in The New Rules of Lifting Fat Loss 1 (more on this tomorrow). Lets just say it’s going to kick my ass. Awhile back I did a 20 rep squat with 135 after I did some heavier weights. So today I thought it wouldn’t be […]

Back in the gym

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

I had a nice break from the gym, but it was nice to get back in there today. Yesterday’s planned trip to the gym got squashed. So today I went back in and just did 2 exerices and a couple of minutes on the treadmill. I think I’ve figured out what I’m […]

Change of pace

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

So far I’ve been good about staying away from the gym. That will probably end tomorrow when I will do some sort of bodyweight workout (pull-ups, push-ups etc) and cardio. Yesterday instead of hitting the gym I hit the local Disc Golf course (sometimes called Folf…Frisbee Golf). I picked up a disk earlier this summer […]
