Good workout today. Currently using Corporate gym and adapting routine to accomodate poundage limitations. Leg Press machine maximum weight is 900, so incorporating pre-exhaustion techniques to maintain intensity. I miss the heavy duty machine at my old gym that would accomodate 1500 lbs.  ------------------------------ R.I.F. (Reading IS Fundamental)...

Additions - 1 set of Dips @ bodyweight. Four 1/10 mile sprints. Another good workout, aiming to increase workload over the next few weeks by reducing rest periods & adding 1-2 extra sets on selected exercises.

D... this is one hell of a workout routine you have. Just imagining it as a read it makes me tired.
 It's also very inspiring, though. It inspired me to get back up off my lazy ass and start throwing the weights around again. I just got home from a great workout, and I feel better right now than I've felt all week. Thanx Dawg!  Ubuntu - I am what I am, because of who we all are.

Remind me again, what is cardio? And where are the squats? Like Black Viking said, you got me thinking of hitting the iron bad. I just looked at my hands and noticed my callouses are all gone. Sweat, chalk, and clanking plates ... that is heaven.Truth is undoubtedly the sort of error that cannot be refuted because it was hardened into an unalterable form in the long baking process of history...

Off Day
I will eat big, but quality (lean protein, complex carbs, healthy fats). ------------------------------ R.I.F. (Reading IS Fundamental)...

I never wear gloves, so I have weight room hands! Callouses are great for getting rid of nervous energy. I peel them at least once a week. I've had bouts of sciatica kresge. As a result, I'm still gunshy of squats. I know it's a mechanics issue - I stopped doing squats for about 6 months (about a year ago) and when I started again, my form was shot. I'm going to have to put the ego aside, start light and fix my form (It's tough to go back to 225 when I was pushing 400+ ...).------------------------------ R.I.F. (Reading IS Fundamental)...

Glad to be an inspiration. There's nothing (well, almost nothing  ) like a good workout. I always tell people training volume & intensity is relative. I've been at this almost eight years straight and I still consider myself a youngun' in the iron game!------------------------------ R.I.F. (Reading IS Fundamental)...

This is supposed to be a lower body & cardio day, but I think I will switch it up a bit. Most likely I'll do a full body routine, followed by the stationary bike. ------------------------------ R.I.F. (Reading IS Fundamental)...

Alternating between upper & lower body movements had me breathing hard the entire workout. Finished with 12 minutes of sprint intervals on the bike.

I registered for the EAS challenge
 D, You think I can do this with what I have at home (dumbells and cardio cycle) or do I need to try and make it to the gym at lunch - 30 min only - again? _______________________ "Morality cannot be legislated but behaviour can be regulated.

Cool! I've done the program before; I enjoyed it. You can make it work with what you have at home. Make sure you carve out 30-45 minutes for those 6 days & stick to it. I'll be expecting updates. Your habits will change for the better by the time you're done. Where are you going to purchase your EAS products? Try to find an online store so you can save some cash ------------------------------ R.I.F. (Reading IS Fundamental)...

This has been a good workout week for me. Took an hour nap this evening; workouts are metabolically taxing, even with caloric excess. Ramp up of intensity is on track. Weight, skinfold, and muscle measurements on Sunday. Training goals for next 8-12 weeks outlined as well. ------------------------------ R.I.F. (Reading IS Fundamental)...

Let me know what you think I may want to purchase to get started. Remember I'm not big on man made chemicals _______________________ "Morality cannot be legislated but behaviour can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart but they can restrain the heartless." Martin Luther King. |

Just to qualify for their contest, I would buy either their whey protein or creatine, maybe their meal replacements (powder or bars). If you have access to a warehouse store (Sam's, Costco, BJs, etc.), call to see if they carry any EAS products. I just saw this: Body for Life Starter Kit - Lean & Strong for Men. Looks like a pretty good deal.
How about a MLM training log in the Health section? Logs are a great way to keep yourself accountable & get inspiration from friends (like me!). ------------------------------ R.I.F.
