Day 5 – Insert Attempted Witty Title Here

grimmlock — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:33:06 +0000

More weights last night. Upped it to two sets of ten. Doing things slowly, going to work up to two sets of 15, then split it to three sets of eleven. Once I hit three sets of fifteen, add more weight and break it down to three sets of ten, working back up again to three sets of fifteen and repeat.

More running tonight.

Day 3 – A Couple Days Late

This was last night (or early this morning depending on how you look at it).

Did more weight lifting, same stuff as day two, except upped it to two sets of 9 reps.

As soon as she is here for the boys, going for a run tonight in the cold. I cannot wait…

Day 2 – A New, Albeit Better Feeling, Pain

First day of weight lifting, more running tomorrow, and it, well, hurts, but definitely in a good way. Now, look, I know you are supposed to do 3 sets of so many reps, and I will start doing that, but I just need to start by getting a feel for the whole weight lifting thing again, because I have not done it in a very very long time.

So, here is today.

Warm up:

Upright Row 35lb, 1 set of 15
Bench Press 35lb. 1 set of 15
Military Press 35lb. 1 set of 15
Curls 35lb. 1 set of 15
Overheard Triceps Extension 1 set of 15
Leg Curls 20lb. 1 set of 15
Leg Extensions 20lb. 1 set of 15
Neglected to do any crunches in warm up, silly me

Stacking on the weight:

Upright Row 65lb. 1 set of 15
Bench Press 65lb. 1 set of 15
Military Press 55lb. 1 set of 15
Curls 55lb. 1 set of 15
Overhead Triceps Extension 35lb. 1 set of 15
Leg Curls 40lb. 1 set of 15
Leg Extensions 40lb. 1 set of 15
Crunches 30lb. 1 set of 15

Its a start, we’ll see where the next few weeks take us.
