Work it Out

[TheGameHHH]

i hate monday nights, the gym is so fucking crowded. we did chest tonight but mixed it up with low weights and hi reps for 2 sets each exercise. there was no room on the mats to do ab work so we did this shitty crunch machine then i ran 6.5 miles. the end

[smiler grogan]

I am now transitioning into primarily running since its race season soon. I will continue doing upper body and core work but lower body training will be primarily running biking.

[nate1000]

My gym sucked last night, too- way too many new faces.

On the flip side, there were a couple of new pieces of candy, too. :thumbup:

[Furtherman]

Up at 6 for an hour in the gym this morning.

[CYYYFYYY]

Hate Monday gyms.... way too crowded

[TheGameHHH]

Up at 6 for an hour in the gym this morning.

thats fucking intense, my dad spins at the Y every other morning at 5:45am. thats just way too early for me to go, i got respect for people that are that motivated.

i lifted back again tonight and kept up with the lower weight hi reps theme for this week. did only 2 sets of throwowns and one 70 second plank for abs. then i ran 6.5 miles.

I might have some new clients starting in the spring that will want to do early morning sessions. I admire peoples resolve to work out early in the morning. I'd rather workout at 10:00pm at night than 6:00 am.

No running for me today, a forced rest day due to a ton of stuff to finish around the house and fighting off the initial stages of a cold.

[nate1000]

I usually start my workout with the bench: 8x205, followed by 8x225, then another 8x225 then back down to 8x205 to cool down.

Second set of 225, fifth rep starts to feel heavy, sixth rep I'm struggling, so I decide this is the last one, I don't have a spotter and I don't want to push it. So I struggle through the bottom portion and the weight starts to get a bit lighter the higer I get it up, so I am accelerating my push to finish the rep and put it down.

When *whack*, I crank the bar on the bottom of the supports- hard. My elbows buckle and I dropped the f'in whole thing flat on my chest. Oof. Needless to say, I'm a 'lil sore this am.

Lesson learned- either put the freakin weight down when it starts to feel heavy or find a spotter. Idiot.

[TheGameHHH]

shoulder night, front raises/side raises/hi rows/press/shugs. still sticking with low weight high reps this week. then 3 sets of medicine ball tosses while doing situps and finally a 6.5 mile run.

[TheGameHHH]

tore my glamour muscles apart tonight. all bi's and tri's. 100 crunches and 6.5 miles. one more day tomorrow then im finished for the week.

[TheGameHHH]

went saturday, forgot to post.

had a MASSIVE gym fail last night. got there, did about 20 mins of lifting and just bounced. i had nothing in the tank.

tonight was much better, back night. 3 sets of throwdowns and 6.5 miles on the treadmill

[smiler grogan]

Busy few days, I had a 1 mile race Sunday morning then kept running for a few more. Last night was a heavy resistance night, and today was another 4 mile trail run which was really a 4 mile slog through the mud.

[TheGameHHH]

murdered my shoulders tonight. 100 crunches, one 1 minute plank and 6.5 mile run on the treadmill.

[nate1000]

Good workout wed.- weight felt good- no dropping on my chest. back at it tonight.

[smiler grogan]

4 mile run yesterday followed by an upper body circuit. Then did a boxing cardio class last night.

[TheGameHHH]

arms tonight. 100 crunches then a 6.5 mile run. im finished for the weekend, st. pattys day parade tomorrow, recovery on sunday.

[RADIO-SHARK]

Yeah, that didn't work. After a week off, back feels good enough to hit the gym again tonight.

[hammersavage]

6.1 in 46 minutes. Feeling really strong, no leg pain. Race day I should be able to get it down to 45.

17 days til the Jersey Shore Relay.

[smiler grogan]

K-bell routine plus some sprint work. tomorrow a long trail run is in order.

[TheGameHHH]

S-L-A-C-K-E-R.........holy shit. I took about 3 weeks off due to birthdays, vacations, parties, moving to a new place and things of that ilk. Tonight was my first night back and it was utter torture. I did shoulders tonight and theres no doubt I wont even be able to wave hi to anyone tomorrow without pain. My abs should be ok, but they need the most work anyway. Lastly, I ran 6.1 miles and it was awful. I have a pain below my knee right now that I've never felt before and it hurt throughout the entire run, I refused to stop cause it was my first night back and im not shutting it down that quickly. But I know that pain and my legs will be fucked tomorrow. Thankfully I'm taking tomorrow night off cause wednesday is usually an off night anyway. We'll see how shit goes down thursday night.

[TheGameHHH]

thursday night was fine, today was rather simple. just a quick bis and tris lift and a 10 mile bike.

[smiler grogan]

12k in the woods today my first of many adventure races begin in two weeks.

[TheGameHHH]

Had a really great night tonight, big time chest workout followed my 3 sets of medcinie ball ab work. then a crisp/pain free 6.1 mile run

[hammersavage]

final run before Saturday. did 6.1 in 46 again. I reallllllly want 45 on race day. I got caught at a light today for almost a minute so I think its possible.

[TheGameHHH]

bis and tris, 100 crunches and 6.1 mile run

[TheGameHHH]

lifted chest tonight, heavy lifting with 3 reps of 10, 8 and 6. 3 sets of throwdowns for abs and then a 6.1 mile run

[TheGameHHH]

back continuing with the heavy lifting sets. then we did medicine ball throwdowns for abs followed by a little bi-athalon, 5k run and 10 miles bike

[smiler grogan]

A great Kettle bell/ functional circuit today. tomorrow a cool down 5k and my first adventure race of the season is this sat.

[TheGameHHH]

no lifting tonight, straight cardio. ran a 5k in 29:47 (which is weak because my right leg is killing me and it really hindered my ability to run) and then biked 10 miles

[TheGameHHH]

no lifting tonight, straight cardio. ran a 5k in 29:47 (which is weak because my right leg is killing me and it really hindered my ability to run) and then biked 10 miles

just got back. did pretty much the same thing as last night, hurt leg and all

[TheGameHHH]

lifted arms tonight, really crushed it. did 3 sets of medicine ball situps for abs then ran 6.1 miles. leg feels better and I got a short week this week so hopefully I'll get some serious rest before next week.

[nate1000]

Still here at the gym 3x a week, just can't get to .net as often as I used to.

[TheGameHHH]

just ran the 5k and did a 10 mile bike tonight cause I'm swinging golf clubs for the first time in about 8 months tomorrow and i dont wanna be sore so I canceled the lift. tonight will be my last time in the gym until next monday, going to myrtle beach on thrusday and wont be back until late sunday night.

[RoseBlood]

just ran the 5k and did a 10 mile bike tonight

Anyone doing the 5 boro bike tour on Sunday?

[hammersavage]

Anyone doing the 5 boro bike tour on Sunday?

does my brother count? he always tries to get me to do it

[hammersavage]

and im officially down 27 since Feb 15th. i'd like to get 18 more.

[TheGameHHH]

5k and a 10 mile bike tonight, that was it. I had a savage bachlor party weekend in myrtle beach so I needed to get back into it slowly.

[ralphbxny]

OK...I am starting to get fustrated. I am at a wall. I am between 210 and 215. I can't seem to lose anymore. I am probably going to change the workout.

I am planning on Running a 5k in June in honor of my Best Friends dad who died of cancer.

This is my first road race!! lol Not that I will win but I am very excited.

Funny. I was just thinking about this post and being so fearful of doing this 5k. In Two weeks I am doing my First 1/2 Marathon. I am still just as nervous but fear of failure is gone.

I cant believe how much life has changed since this post.

Keep working out peeps!!!

[TheGameHHH]

last tuesday i had a massive calf strain that i didnt think was that big of a deal until i woke up wednesday morning. I kept off it until tonight and i went back to the gym pain free. lifted chest tonight, did 75 crunches then a 5k and a 10 mile bike.

[smiler grogan]

Yesterday I maxed out at the deadlift at 305. I never tried to max out before so I am pleased with this result. I maxed out at the clean and jerk and the snatch as well but my form is weak on those so i have a lot to improve their.
Today I started running with a 20lb. vest I ran 1.6 miles in about 17min.. I think I want to run a local 5k event in June in the vest to see what my time will be. I'd like to do it under 30 minutes.

[TheGameHHH]

went last night and lifted back. did 75 crunched then ran a 5k and biked 10 miles. nothing tonight cause im gonna be lazy

[CYYYFYYY]

Still not putting on weight.... stuck on 170 ish...... trying to eat more...... BUt benched 250 the other day.... Woooooooooo

[hammersavage]

[TheGameHHH]

i lifted and ran/biked last night just forgot to post. tonight i had one of the best gym sessions of my life. I started out by lifting shoulders and doing 75 crunches then I followed by running my fastest 5k time ever, biking my fastest 10 miles ever and then swiming and 1/8th of a mile. I almost completed triathalon tonight just for fun so it felt kinda good.

[smiler grogan]

whats your fastest single mile? add :15 seconds to it, run that, walk for a min, try to run it again. get used to running with your legs tired. work on sprinting one day, feel what its like to run your fastest. sprint 100 meters, jog 100, sprint another.

i try to run 5 miles usually so that 3.1 doesn't feel so long.


i just ran a 5:59. which i never thought i could possibly do.

[TheGameHHH]

[TheGameHHH]

[TheGameHHH]

i think i might have pushed myself a little too hard tonight. i warmed up with a 10 miles bike. then i lifted bis and tris. then i went and did 100 crunches and a 5k. to end it all i swam a quarter mile. so i pretty much did a triathalon and lifted. by the time i left the pool i felt light headed and driving home was honestly worse than if i was drunk. think im gonna try and take it easy at the gym tomorrow night.

[TheGameHHH]

[TheGameHHH]

got back at it last night for the first time in like a week and a half. im sore as hell today but im about to head out for the gym as i type this. trying to get back into shape blows.

[Jayw]

I have ran for the past 10 days doing about 1.5-2 miles a day. I try to do most of the laps in a fast run sprint, and walk when I cant run. Also bought a swiss ball to work my core, shit was worth it. Goal is to have a 6-pack by fall semester(my last).

Something that came up is my right knee is really giving me pain. I am 24 and have kinda taken a Hiatus from excercise for the past 3 or 4 months. I am have read some things on the net saying its runners knee, but I don't want to stop running cause its the most I have excercised in months.

Anyone else gone through this knee pain, I am a guy who has never gone through pain like this, but I don't want to stop running... Its not just when I run but when I do anything, golf, walk, sit.

[smiler grogan]

It really depends on where the pain is. if its on the outside of the knee and it's sharp it could be that your IT band is tight. The IT band runs along the outside of your thighs and gets tight on runners. A lot of running means you need to do a lot of stretching and foam rolling. Get a roller at any sporting store or even target, walmart etc. and roll out your calves and IT band before and after you run see if that helps.

Man I been trying to get my ass in shape.

I start running and my bitch ass knee if fucking with me. It hurts like shit. But I am just going to keep running. I went to a ortho surgeon and they said it was runners knee.

It really pisses me off that when I am actually getting my ass in shape I have this injury. 6'1 and 165 and I really got a shot to be built like a mofo if I don't be bitch.

Wish me luck I am trying. Ran 2 miles the last 3 days. Fucking knee is acting up....

Quit drugs start excersising and your weak ass knee acts up sigh...

[smiler grogan]

Started training for my first half marathon. The race in on Oct. 10th.

You need to get those sores checked out...

[Jennitalia]

so i havent been posting, but i've definitely kept up with the working out. I had a setback/boost back in may where i was severly sick with gastritis for a week. i was non stop puking for 6 days and lost all energy. as a result, my diet had to change. i dropped all meats, chocolate and dairy other than yogurt. stopped drinking for 3months, and i can barely drink it now the few times i do. I've also been exercisng regularly to get back the strength i lost from being sick, including running. I usually do 5-7 miles 4-5 times a week, in addition to yoga and/or pilated. All together I've lost about 50 pounds, 25 of which came after i got sick and changed my diet. just a few more to go and i'll be my weight from when i was 20.

[TheGameHHH]

I basically stopped posting in here but ive been working out like a beast the past few weeks. i actually skipped today to go to the city with my family so tomorrow its back at it. i feel like posting in here again so i'll post from tomorrow up until my tri on september 12th

[Jennitalia]

i have not lost any motivation since i've been sick, which is great. i'm determined not to gain anything back yet, and not to mention i feel so much better spiritually as well as physically.

[TheGameHHH]

the swim was so panic inducing not only due to the amount of people but the ocean was insanely rough, so much so that they almost canceled the swim this morning. I took in so much water plus got kicked in the face like 20 times. But once I started making my way towards land everything started to go right. It was an incredible experience and I'm def doing another one next summer. thanks for the well wishes.

Great job doing the work and event by the way.

yea it was a sprint. i have no idea what my time was until they post the results. my transition wasn't too bad, I felt like I spent as little time in the transition area as I possibly could have. I moved very quickly from one event to the next.

You can def. do it.

I fell off the wagon last thursday night and havent gone back since cause this past monday i felt like crap and tonight I have stupid ass "back to school night" in my district and even though I'm not a teacher and parents probably won't even want to talk to the Behavior Consultant, I still have to go. Tomorrow night I'm looking to get back into a full on good diet and exercise routine.

[NickyL0885]

I'm down 2 pant sizes. 56 to 54. Finally bought a new belt too after all these years with the same one. Yea, I'm one fat bastard. But If I continue lose the weight, I'll lose my diabetes. I'm 24. Doc says I can still out run my dads genes.
