Working out will re-commence soon. Got an inhaler for my apparent exercise induced asthma, so hopefully I'll find it easier to put in the work I know I need to

Here's my score : 154.4 lbs
My goal: 130lbs by the end of this year

lumberjim · 04-22-2009, 10:00 PM

my work out lately:

1. the ab ball thing (looks like a rocket pack, and you lift your legs)
-i do sets of 8-10 reps...9 of them in total, but 3sets at a time in between switching back and forth with jinx on the pull up/dip machine. I do different things like legs straight out, torso twists, one leg, bent knees, etc.

2. The pull up / assisted dip machine. today i used 140, 135, 130 lbs of counter weight on the 3 sets. i do 3 different grips starting wide, and going inward. the dips were rough today.

3. triceps. there always seems to be someone on the machine I want, so today I used the old machine. you pull down on the ropes, keeping your upper arms at your sides. i use 72 lbs on the new one....the old one must be sticky, because 60lbs kicked my ass off. 3 sets of 8 -60, 55,50 lbs

4. The Smith Machine. I do my bench press there. 3 sets on a flat bench- today i used 180 lbs and did 2 sets of 8....then took 20 off and did one more.....then incline the bench 2 clicks....30 degrees? and did 2 sets with 140 lbs...then 45 degree incline and did 2 sets of 10 with 90 lbs.

5. Curls- 40 lb dumbells....i sit on a bench, and put my elbow inside my thigh to hold my upper arm still, and curl it up from the floor....isolates the biceps pretty well. set of 8 each arm, then a set of 6 each.

6. I dont know what to call these- I take 65 lbs dumbells in each hand and hoist them up to my shoulder....kind of like a curl, i guess, but im putting my shoulder and chest into it.....I do as many as i can with each arm.....4 each today, then grab the 60's and do it, and then 55s, and 50's ....i did 4 each arm each weigft today. That really gets your heart pumping.

7. Row- using thehammer strength machine today, but i use a lot of different ones for my back.

8. theres a thing that you get in ......its for your lower back.....it has pads at a 45 degree angle that you bend forward at the waist, and then ...it's like a backwards sit up i guess......well 10 of them and then i turrn sideways and do 10 more on each side for my obliques.

9. treadmill 1.5 hours at 8.5 incline going 3mph.(1350 calories)

10. beer. COLD BEER

UT- it's easy how fast time flies when you take a break. I thought it had only been a week since I swam last, turns out it had been two! I *triple* checked the calendar and my training log in utter disbelief. You and J will find your rhythm, just keep at it

.

jinx and lj- the one thing I miss about going to a gym is the weight machines. I have a really nice set of free weights and ball at home and know a gazillion possible exercises, but I just can't get into strength training on a regular basis. I know, know, know, it will only help me be a better athlete, but gah, I just can't get into it. Maybe if I put in a full length mirror...I dunno what my problem is. Now that it's getting nice outside, it's even harder to hang out in the cold lonely basement.

The machine you are talking about in #8 was one of my favorites. The one I used to use had a pin to pull so you could switch it to do abs and back. I loath crunches on the floor, but loved this machine. The other one I loved was one where you rested your arms elbow to wrist on a padded bar, then raised your arms like you were doing the chicken dance (sort of like this one). The inner and outer thigh machines I miss too, it's hard to work those muscles properly without a machine. --don't go for the easy joke

mtp- besides the goal, do you have a plan? Goals without plans are just called dreams

I had asthma in HS that showed up during the track season in humid weather. Just start off slow and build gradually. Hopefully it shouldn't be a problem then. Once I moved out of my parents house and away from their cigarette smoke, I never had a problem with it again.

lumberjim · 04-23-2009, 10:34 AM

re #8...it's kind of like this thing:

eta: It's apparently called a Roman Chair.

LabRat · 04-23-2009, 10:56 AM

ahhhhhh. The piece I used was more like this one...

PS why are all the models wearing red? Subliminal messaging??

Undertoad · 04-26-2009, 09:11 PM

Worked out both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday, reached a heart rate of 172.

I am 45 years old.

According to the chart on the treadmill, I should be dead.

I did a heart rate/stress test today. Ranged from 95 at 'warmed up' (walking 0 grade 3mph) to 189 at 'fuck this shit' (jogging 8% grade at 5mph) over 20 mins or so.

Then spent about an hour learning some new strength exercises... variations of planks and bridges using dumb bells and a ball. Then an hour of 3.5 and 3.8 mph intervals at 15% grade on the treadmill.

I'm going to relax and drink beers now...

lumberjim · 04-26-2009, 09:29 PM

yeah..... you might die from that.

keep it under 160

Didn't we have a thread like that? "Show Us Your Guns" or something? I looked, but I can't find it.
