New Year Workout Accountability 2017

[CRM_95]

Decent chest and shoulders workout this morning. I'll probably go for a short run this afternoon, then hog hunting this evening. Rest day tomorrow.

[150class]

1 hour of cardio

Core and Shoulders

[Muskles]

Friday and today paddling a boat, pretty sure I got in my cardio.

[150class]

Heading in for cardio and back

Meeting up with the personal trainer at 830

[Choward113]

............

[rtp]

Golf tourney today, I hope to minimize the amount of exercise I get.....ie, fewer swings is better. I will be back at it tomorrow.

[SabreKiller]

I didn't feel rested this morning, but my java and preworkout cocktail got me motivated. 10X10 again today and raised the weight by 25% on bicep curls and 20% on tricep kickbacks. So kettlebell swings, pushups, goblet squats, bicep curls and tricep kickbacks.

Shoulders and legs tomorrow. YAY!!!!

[Muskles]

Chest today.

[150class]

45 mins of cardio and back with the trainer as mentioned above.

Helped big time with my form and mixing up my standard 3x12 or 4x10 sets


You guys have any recommendations for preform out?
I started using C4 but 2 buddies that are gym rats were really pushing legion athletics "pulse". Reviews look great for it too

[rtp]

Heading out shortly.....Back and triceps today. Probably put in about 2 hrs total.

[SabreKiller]

slept in today and can't make tomorrow morning either. I'm not an evening workout person so it's gonna have to wait till Thursday.

[Low Fence]

Yesterday was chest, triceps and abs. Today is shoulders and legs

[Muskles]

Leg day today. Never gets easier, guess it's not supposed to though.

Nope. If it's gets easier... then you just cheated yourself. I'm always going up in weigh or reps...or dang sure trying to.

[150class]

Called a audible and took a rest day. Was back working nights and I was toasted and slept all day.

Legs tomorrow.... yay...

[SabreKiller]

I had a presentation to make today at 7 AM and didn't think I could swing it, but I did after all. Got up at 0400 and made it tot he gym by 0500 and out by 0600. I made my GF speed it up today and that helped keep the intensity up. All supersets, back and chest, 5X5. Flat bench press/bent over rows pronated grip, incline dumbbell press/standing t-bar row, cable flys/low rows.

Back to 10X10 tomorrow.

[rtp]

Chest and biceps today.....I was really tired this morning so I cut out the ab work at the end. I will make it up as I cant stand to miss anything.

[Muskles]

Back today. Increased weight 5-15# on each exercise. Think I'm sand bagging still worried about my tennis elbow. Gotta try to push it more, just don't want that again!

[SabreKiller]

This 10X10. Yesterday was a heavy 5X5 day with chest and back. I should have looked to see what today's 10X10 entailed. Dumbbell presses, bent over dumbbell rows, dumbbell squats, planks, feet on ball hip thrusts. I really trashed the back today with the bent over rows. Every three sets I increased the weight by 10%. The 10th set I thought I was gonna hurl. There's little to no rest in between sets or exercises except for me walking into the box for the planks and hip thrusts. I don't know how many calories I'm burning, but I'm sure sweating like a stuck pig. My Fitbit should be here on Friday. I'll be glad to see what it tells me. I need to get my BF checked. The goal is to increase my weight to 235 and BF of 12-15%.

I'm at 225 now. Got back some of the weight I lost when i had my gall bladder out. Diet is my issue. Not enough protein for sure.

[Low Fence]

Back and biceps yesterday. Today is chest and triceps all single joint movements

[150class]

Went a little light on legs yesterday but defienently still feeling it

Chest and tris today

Bi's tomorrow

[Muskles]

Biceps triceps and abs today.

[Low Fence]

Weights felt good today. I'm drained but still going

Tomorrow is shoulders and legs again....

[SabreKiller]

I didn't even wanna get outta bed this AM, but did. Shoulders and legs today. Seated shoulder press/lateral raises, upright rows/bent over dumbbell flys, rear delt cable pulls, squats/leg extensions, calf raises, incline situps/leg raises. Heavy 5X5 routine.

Back is tight today. Heck I'm tight all over. I need a yoga day or a massage. Maybe both!

Have a great weekend!

[CRM_95]

Leg day today, then a short 1 mile run on treadmill at a 4 degree incline. Probably wasn't a good idea after working legs. Tomorrow will suck.

[SabreKiller]

I did get some bicep curls in today as well. 5X5 with the EZ bar and the same with the hammer curl bar.

[Muskles]

Shoulder today. I'm with you on the yoga sabrekiller. Gonna do X stretch in the morning, it's an hour of yoga based stretches. Yoga X is an hour and a half long, so I don't do it often.

[rtp]

Shoulders, traps and abs today.

[SabreKiller]

Didn't sleep very well so I wasn't feeling it today, but went anyway. GF came up with a tabata workout that consisted of 10 winged sit ups with a kettle bell, 10 planks with a twist, 10 Romanian situps with a kettlebell , 10 inchworms with a pushup and 500 meters on the rowing machine. As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. Started working on the third round and time ran out. Went back into the gym and did some chest and back.

[150class]

Was at the classic Saturday and work yesterday plus a cousins bday party so didn't make it with the shorter gym hours they have on that day.

Was back at it at 4:30 am this morning for chest and tris

Thinking bi's and shoulders tomorrow

And back and legs Wednesday.

Will be in Fraser, Co checking out the wedding venue Thursday Am- Saturday Night so there goes 3 days. However if the rain holds off plan on doing plenty of hiking which will help.

Keep it up!

Yesterday was back, triceps and calves. Today was legs and abs.

[parkchief100]

Got in legs and biceps this am. Worked out last week but didn't get much posted.

[Muskles]

Stretch yesterday, chest today.

[Low Fence]

Had a hog tournament Friday, so no workout then... Saturday was my sons first b day... missed that workout. Meetings all day Sunday. And everything today has snowballed.

Wife has missed enough mornings that she agreed today that I can have them back. I hate 5am workouts but it 100% guarantees I can get them in. Running low in ththe motivation department. There is just soooo many things I would rather do. Maybe back to mornings will free that time up and allow me to stay motivated

I've been on a few kicks the last 6-8 months but over a month in on this one so hopefully it sticks!

Just wish the scale was moving a little faster then it is lol

Believe it or not......if it or not, if it comes off over a longer period of time you are more than likely to keep it off. All of these gimmicky diet fads where you drop a ton of weight quick are not sustainable. The person just ends up going back to doing what they were before and the weight just comes back plus some. Eating right and exercising will skinny you up, it just takes a little while. Speaking from experience here.

Yep, I always judge by the way I feel, more than what the scale says. I usually gain weight when I start a new workout due to adding muscle.

[SabreKiller]

Back and legs today. Bent over rows, weighted neutral grip pullups, low rows, squats, leg extensions.

[Rack Ranch]

For those working muscle groups and performing cardio on the same day make sure your working your muscles before the cardio if your goal is to have gains in muscle mass.

[150class]

Back and bi's was a succes with about 20 mins of cardio mixed in.

Legs and shoulders tomorrow.

Tried a new prework (Legion Pulse) out today and I like the tingly feeling most give but this lacked in that however I felt like I was getting a insane pump throughout the work out.

[Rack Ranch]

^^^^^ Probably doesn't have Beta-Alanine^^^^^

[DRettele]

Any runners in here?
I try to run every other morning. Put in 4 miles this morning and just over half way through my run, right after the turnaround, I had to stop and back up a little ways to let a skunk cross the road. He emerged from the ditch about 5 yards in front of me - almost ruined by day!

Believe it does. Probably have to tinker with the dosage. It was also at 4:25 AM so I'm sure there was some tingling and I was basically just sleeping through it lol

I run a little, but I'm by no means a runner. A long run for me is 3 miles, and I only run a few months out of the year. I'm doing more cardio now than I normally do though, because there's an elk hunt in my future!!

[1shot]

Started the Bigger, leaner, stronger program about a month ago. I'm only about 5 lbs lighter but I'm down 3% in body fat and much stronger.

Hoping to get back into it in about 2-3 months.

Gained a ton of weight late in college and randomly decided to start working out one day and went and ran and somewhere along the way my shins said screw that!

Hopefully losing some weight will help remove these shin splits along with other things

Awesome goal to work towards! That is on my bucket list!

I picked up running again about 5 years ago. I hadn't ran in years prior to that. It was real difficult getting back into running condition. I had to back off a bit and attack it at a slower rate that what I wanted to do. I started riding a bike for a few months and then switched back to running.

[Muskles]

Leg workout today. Wasn't sure if I was gonna puke or pass out. Haven't pushed that hard in a while. DRettele, I haven't had anything big enough chasing me to have to run since I was a teenager. Lol. A friend of mine that I worked out with several years back put on a bunch of weight after he got married. He started running and lost a lot of weight in about 3 months. He runs local 5k and other marathons and loves it.
