100 Swings

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Yesterday, since I haven’t been in the gym that much, I grabbed the 16KG bell and did 100 swings. Timed in at 6:42, which I think is rather pathetic. Time to get that down near 5:00.
I did take my little brother into the gym on Wednesday. He’s lifted weights off and on and now that […]

Test results

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

As some may know or may not know I had some blood work done on December 10th.  I could go online and get the results but they weren’t really in depth. But this week the results came in the mail and they were a bit more in depth.  They figured out my BMI (which I’m […]

10×3 for fat loss

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Back in the gym tonight.  I’m going to like it I think.  It’s cramped, but there’s not a whole lot of people there when we go.  So that’s good.
As for the workout.  Had I done this workout say 4 months ago I’m sure it would have beat the crap out of me.  However after tonights […]

229.8

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I’m not sure when the last time was that I was under 230, but it’s been at least 2 months (since I moved west).  I don’t plan on climbing on the scale every week…just at the end of my mini cycles, to see if I’m moving in the general direction.  Pictures might be posted as […]

Week off?

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

In retrospect I probably didn’t need a week off, but I’m taking it and not doing as much as I did the previous 3 weeks (EDT).  We did get our gym membership and I’ve been there a couple of times.  Some big dudes there.  Bodybuilders most likely, but there are a couple that look like […]

The Kettlebell Kid?

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Last Saturday morning found me on the road, after a major ice storm, trying to make a 10:30 appointment for a kettlebell lesson and to pick up a 20KG bell.  I was only a few minutes late for the lesson.  The lesson was with Chris from Rocky Mountain Kettlebell in Fort Collins, Colorado (Chris was […]

Kettlebell EDT

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

Well It’s been at least a couple of weeks since my last post on here.  It will probably be another couple before I post again.
We’ve moved out of the motel, so that means no gym other than what I have for weights.  Since we are currently making 2 house payments (hopefully that will end sooner […]

Altitude is an odd thing

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Before moving to Wyoming I made the bold prediction that I didn’t think the altitude out here would effect me.  I’m not here to say that I am wrong, but it’s been very odd.  I’ve done about 4-5 workouts now in the hotel gym and although I’ve taken a step back in my fitness I […]

Sporadic at best

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

I’ve been to the gym a couple of times this week, but nothing on a consistent basis. That will probably change since I’ll be sort of back into a scheduled routine this next week. Tomorrow if the first day at my new job.  We are in the process of buying a house.  Unfortunately there’s no […]

“I’m having evil thoughts about you”

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Those were the words of my wife this afternoon. This morning we went and worked out together at the hotel gym. Surprisingly it was pretty damn good. Not the gym I would build, but for the time that I’m going to be here it will work just fine.
We did:
DB Romanian Deadlift followed […]
