Day 5: So much for more updates!

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

I had great plans to have more updates, but I just don’t seem to be into it that much. So I guess two times a week is what it will be.
We did make it to the gym a couple of times this week and I did do the kettlebell workout as well (Monday or Tuesday…not […]

Day 2: Back to the project

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Like the millions of other people out there with new years resolutions, I also have a few.  Some fitness related and others not related to fitness.  The fitness related one’s will be talked about here, as they always are.  Hopefully with some more consistency.  The first short goal is the April 30th, 2008.  At that […]

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 […]

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 […]

Elevation

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Cheyenne, where I’ll be in slightly over a weeks time, has an elevation of 6000 feet. Compared to Davenport, where I am currently, that is a rather large difference.  To be exact it’s 5,459 feet higher (Davenport 541 elevation).  Today as I was huffing and puffing away at my second kettlebell workout this week I […]

Pistols and Swings

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Sometimes life gets in the way and today was one of those (and there’s probably many more of those in store in the future…more on that next week).  No lunch workout, but I did have some time after I got home tonight so I brought up the kettlebell and did some swings with it and […]
