Weak!

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Somewhere along the way I got weak in the bench and probably every other area.  I guess that’s the facts of life and we’ll improve on them.  We practically had the gym to ourselves last night. Very nice.  I think everyone was out enjoying the wonderful weather that we had.  It’s supposed to rain/snow later […]

Pushing Iron

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

I’m not the strongest guy at the gym, and I probably never will be, but there’s something about pushing around heavier weights that I really enjoy.  I can honestly say that since I’ve switched back to trying to get stronger I have enjoyed going to the gym more.  I still do kettlebells at home, but […]

Colds fucking suck

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

I’m back after a 2 week cold…or 1 week and an extra one off to recover.
Not sure what I’m going to do, but for right now it’s westside for skinny bastards.  I can get in and out with it pretty quickly and I’m adding in HIIT.  If I get strong great.  If I get leaner […]

Swings, chin-ups and snatches

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

I seem to be on the 2 workout a week program for some reason. Part of it had to do with the wife’s birthday on Thursday and something planned for last night. However I did get a workout in this morning and I’m now dripping in sweat.
Kettlebells was the name of the game this morning […]

No gym tonight…

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Didn’t make it to the gym tonight. Wife messed up her knee slipping on ice this morning, so I stayed home and played with my kettlebells. I took them out to the garage where I could do snatches and other stuff. I don’t know exactly what I did, but it was swings (16KG and 20KG), […]

Powertraining workout 4

Friday, March 14th, 2008

My shoulder was still bothering me yesterday so the workout was fairly short. I didn’t do any upper body to see what that did. This morning I have no pain in it, so there’s hope that it will be better and I can get back to this program full time.
Jump Squats - 4×5
Single Leg Squat […]

Powertraining Workout 3

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

I should have made it into the gym yesterday, but I didn’t. It was a combination of being dead tired after work and a sore shoulder. I haven’t figured out why the shoulder is sore, but it’s something I’m watching cause it hurts!
Clean Pull - 5@99,5@109,5@129,5@139 (need to up the weight on this and work […]

100 Kettlebell Swings

Friday, March 7th, 2008

The last couple of days I’ve just been beat after getting home from work and I’ve not wanted to do anything.  Last night I vegged in front of the TV and watched a couple of old episodes of CSI.  Tonight was a bit better, but I didn’t make it into the gym.  I grabbed the […]
