Just added 7 Story Steps to my workout. I try to do 4 sets of these each day that I go to work to insure that my cardio and heart remain in good condition. In addition to this, my breathing seems to be a little better when I do cardio as well. I will do legs later today in the GYM. Legs are the only excersize that I complete in the Gym. All other excersizes are performed at home. I completed 2 sets so far

*TUESDAY WORKOUT UPDATE*

This day is dedicated to Leg Workouts. I performed this routine at the WRAMC GYM:

Seated Leg Press - 3 Sets (180 lbs)
Upright Seated Leg Press - 3 Sets (235lbs)
Reverse Leg Curls - 3 Sets (70 lbs)

My Tuesday Home Routine:

Cardio X


I used the Cardio X Portion of the PS 90X Workout System (which is very fun). In the future, I look to raise the weights, difficulty, and maybe sets by 1 increment. But, this is pending on what I do for cardio in the future. I may shift from Cardio X to Plyometrics, but for now Cardio X and 7 story step climbing will be my main sources of Cardio.

I know a lot of people want to know about supplements, protein drinks, food, and other stuff. This is what I use so far:

Daily Vitamin - I try to take a daily vitamin once a day, but sometimes I forget it.

Ensure Drink - I try to drink an ensure drink 3 x a week. Since these drinks are 250 calories, I drink them sparringly (but not as a meal replacement). Only as a supplement.

03-04-2009, 03:50 AM
Wednesday update - Since I only did 8 minute abs today and did a half ass job on them, I will move Ab Ripper X to another day. I did not get much sleep, but i will try to bring intensity into my total arm workout. The Preacher Curl will be my main focus for biceps. Lying tricep extensions will form my basis for Triceps.

LPMNDCTE
03-04-2009, 10:34 AM
Had to drop Ab Ripper X from Wednesday's workout because I'm too busy. Besides, I like to train concetrated abs together in sets. (not splits). I still plan on performing my Biceps and Triceps today in a homebrew type of workout.

LPMNDCTE
03-04-2009, 11:15 AM
Just removed the Cardio X from Wednesdays workout and replaced it with X - Stretch from PS90 X System. This is because I want my legs to get the maximum rest they need since they had a moderate workout yesterday.

Yes, I just finished a grueling Total Arm workout. I really maxed out on this. I did 12 sets of preacher curls. (4 sets barbell, 4 sets ez curl close grip, and 4 sets ez curl wide grip). Furthermore, I performed 3 sets of alt dumbell curls. In addition to this, I performed 6 or 7 sets of lying tricep extensions, 4 sets of kickbacks, 4 sets of overhead tricep press, and 6 sets of press ups using my own body weight & a weight bench. One more day to go and I will have two full days of rest..

Tomorrow, I will try to perform a shoulder (primary muscle) workout that will include a brief chest (secondary muscle). I will mainly use dumbells and possibly kettle weights for this workout. (I wont use any barbells for this workout). For Cardio, I will use Plyometrics.

*Thursday Home Workout Planned*

I decided a small part of the P 90X System and my own home workout to ensure that I build my strength. I will use my excersize ball for the 1st time. Here are my own plans for shoulder development:

I need to develop the anterior, medial, and posterior deltoids. I will use these excersizes:


Seated Barbell Press (using a chair)
Standing Side Lateral Raises using Dumbells
Standing Front Lateral Raises using Dumbells
Bent Lateral Raises using Dumbells
Seated Dumbbell Press On The Stability Ball

I will most likely do 2 sets of each excersize (after I perform my warmup of each to determine how much I can lift.)

LPMNDCTE
03-05-2009, 09:02 AM
Change in schedule. Due to many of these excersizes having an affect on my triceps, I will take today off and perform these excersizes on Friday. Today will be a full day of rest....

*FRIDAY Home Workout Planned*

Just finished my shoulder routine and I completed most of the Cardio X. I performed this before work, so I was tired because I did the routine so early.

Friday:

Seated Barbell Press (using a chair)
Seated Dumbell Press (using a chair)
Standing Side Lateral Raises using Dumbells
Standing Front Lateral Raises using Dumbells



I decided not to use the stability ball yet. Also, I will work splits today so I have to do my ab routine when I get home...

LPMNDCTE
03-12-2009, 04:12 AM
Well, Im still on course to getting my muscles back. I performed both the 8 minute abs and AB Ripper X Videos. I will continue to work ground abs and obleks about 3x a week.

LPMNDCTE
03-12-2009, 11:21 AM
In addition to the previous post, I complete 2 sets of 7 story steps, but I want to stretch when I get home... I may complete either the Kempo X or Cardio X Video today....

LPMNDCTE
03-13-2009, 04:16 AM
I completed the Cardio X, but my body is telling me that I overdid my excersize routine. I will draw up yet another exercize plan that incorporates major and minor muscle groups within it...

LPMNDCTE
03-13-2009, 04:31 PM
Had my friend join me for a shoulder workout. We also hit the chest lightly, but really concentrated on the shoulder doing scarecrows, barbell press, incline and regular bench with dumbells, front and side lifts. I finished with modified push-ups and now I get a day of rest tomorrow. I do the Kempo X for cardio today...

LPMNDCTE
03-14-2009, 05:11 PM
Total day of rest today (Saturday). I'm letting my body recoupurate from a vicious workout yesterday. I need to rest up for Sunday's workout...

LPMNDCTE
03-15-2009, 10:20 AM
WELL, today is Sunday. I finished about half of the the Plyometrics Video today. I wanted to make sure that I didnt overdue it today. In a few hours, I will work on back with my friend. I downloaded a few videos on back excersizes to make sure everything is done properly.... By the way, I also completed the 8 minute ab video and did a little of the Ab Ripper X Video...

LPMNDCTE
03-15-2009, 10:21 AM
Sunday: Today, most of my back routine will be done with free weights (both dumbells and barbell workouts)

LPMNDCTE
03-15-2009, 04:56 PM
Just completed the last piece of Sundays workout. I have my multiple machine backup and working after I re-ran the wires. I did wide grip pull downs, close grips pulldowns, barbell lift for back, dumbell pulls, good mornings, and lat front/side dumbell pulls.

GREAT WORKOUT TODAY...

03-18-2009, 09:39 AM
Forgot this workout plan. I decided to just follow the P90X Plan and will start this Sunday. I will come some weight training and add it in, but I need more recovery time and more time with my family...

LPMNDCTE
03-19-2009, 03:56 AM
Yesterday, I completed my total arm workout. I was burned out because I lifted off schedule and didnt have any fuel to go on. I didn't get sleep, but I managed to do a subpar job on completed the workout...


TODAY = REST and working on my nutrition plan...

LPMNDCTE
03-20-2009, 04:02 AM
Well, go one more custom workout left. Today, I will work on my shoulders as my last workout with lifting weights. I'll probably do 30 minutes of low impact excersize on the treadmill. However, if the weather is nice outside then I will take my son for a walk for 30 minutes. Since this is my last personalized workout, I will probably rest Saturday and Sunday.... Then, its time to bring it with the P90X System...

LPMNDCTE
03-20-2009, 03:27 PM

03-23-2009, 05:50 PM
well,...

Im on my 2nd day of the P90x system. I was gassed out in Plyometrics.. my energy left 12 minutes into the program. I need to alter my eating habits a bit and proportion dairy products throughout the day, instead of consuming them all at once...

LPMNDCTE
03-25-2009, 06:56 AM
Well, this is my 4th day of the system. I will alter the system a bit to fit the needs of my body. I need to add more weight and a few of my homebrew excersizes to make my body work harder... In addition to this, I updated my diet plan a bit to fit my needs and wants.

LPMNDCTE
04-19-2009, 03:19 PM
Okay, I stopped the complete PS 90X system and make some changes to my routine to include some of the PS 90X and a homebrew workout plan. Here is my 3rd day workout plan for shoulders, arms, and abs...I have a slight shoulder injury that I currently have to heal from, but this is what I will do tomorrow...

*** Day THREE (Total Arms & Shoulders) ***

---- Biceps ----

2 sets of wide grip barbell preacher curls
2 sets of close grip barbell preacher curls
3 sets preacher dumbell alt curls
3 sets preacher wide grip easy curl bar curls
3 sets preacher close grip easy bar curls
2 sets P90X version of alt dumbell curls


--- Triceps ---

5 sets of bench dips
3 sets of skull crushers
3 sets of dumbell overhead extenstions
lying extensions
2 sets of push downs on the machine
2 sets of kettle weight kickbacks


--- Shoulder ---

2 sets dumbell Military Press
barbell military press
2 sets front lifts
side lifts
2 sets scare crows




---- Abs ----
Leg Lifts on Golds Gym Machine
8 minute abs
Ab Ripper X


--- Cardio ---
Kenpo X


4/19/09 - Mental note to myself - DO ABS 1st!!! Because of light pain in my shoulder, I may only perform 6 sets and take out the barbell military press and side lifts until may shoulder is fully functional. Right now, I believe that my shoulder is at least 75% healed. I need to ensure that I work on my abs at the beginning of this workout routine today. Also, I need to ensure that I record how much weight and the reps of the weight that I can do. I'm working on maximum reps because I want to feel the burn in this workout.

LPMNDCTE
04-20-2009, 10:13 AM
just finished my ab workout. I give it a 8/10 for difficulty. this is because I did not work my obleks hard enough. I will pay close attention to this during my next ab workout....

LPMNDCTE
04-21-2009, 11:52 AM
cool.. today I will do legs... Most Likely, I will do the P90X version of legs - Minus the back exercises....


For exercise, I may just walk around because I don't have enough room to exercise because of new funiture and stuff in the house..

LPMNDCTE
04-22-2009, 07:50 PM
Just finished up back and chest again. This workout was pretty good. Also, I worked on the P90XVersion of abs, and some other abs stuff. A 30 minute walk finished my workout...

LPMNDCTE
04-28-2009, 04:26 AM
JUST got in a good total arm workout yesterday. I was kinda tired and distracted, but I still managed to work arms pretty good.

Today, I will most likely go to the Gym and work legs... Usually, I do the P90X legs routine, but I do not think I will have the time to work on legs tonight so I will do them on my lunch break...

LPMNDCTE
04-28-2009, 11:13 AM
Just finished my gym workout. Didnt work the glutes because the machine was down, but i did leg presses, seated curls, and the hip machine (inner and outer). I also walked for 30 minutes on the treadmill....

LPMNDCTE
04-28-2009, 11:15 AM
Tomorrow: I will do back, neck, abs, obleks and chest for tomorrow's grueling workout. Since I want to cut the grass today, I need to make sure I stretch tonight...

After this workout, I will get a full two rest period but I think I have to move funiture on Friday which sucks but oh well....

Yesterday, I mainly performed back and chest exercises without weights because I overdid my back last week. I think i have a good routine now but I may switch it up soon to get the maximum benefits of the exercise...

LPMNDCTE
04-30-2009, 04:01 AM
Today and tomorrow I will have a full day of rest. These two days will be rest from both exercise and weightlifting...Next week, I will lift heavy 3 out of the 5 days a week and then do mainly exercises without weights on the other two days...

LPMNDCTE
05-06-2009, 11:24 AM
Quick update. I lost about 25lbs so far, but I will switch up my routine a bit to incorporate more exercise. I suffer from not getting alot of sleep, so I want to be careful to rid myself of injury. I only ran today, but my gains are still moderately okay. I need to make one more final adjustment to my diet plan to reduce gas and I will be good to go....

I plan to incorporate a Billy Blanks video at least once a week in my workout routine...

My Bench Press has increase from only being able to do 33lbs on each side to being able to lift two 45lbs on each side. I think this took me about 3-4 months? Cant remember exactly...

Previous Max - a shameful 66lbs plus weight of the bar (done about 8 reps)
Current Max - 180lbs plus weight of the bar (done about 2 reps)

The wrist injury is a major factor in this as well, but I can now hold my head up high..

This is my final body fat % test until I get a device:
Body Fat Estimation:


Results:
Using your measurements of a 42.5 inches waist and weight of 143 pounds your body fat percentage is estimated to be 27.20 % using the U.S. Navy body fat formula, or 46.31 % using the formula developed by the YMCA.

Neither method is as accurate as a water displacement test, but is usually within 1-3% for most people. If you have a very small waist, it will show a low value. On the other hand, if you carry all your extra weight around your middle, you may have an elevated percentage. Please note that having this extra weight in the middle is a high risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The waist to hip ratio calculator can give you more information.

Men are typically lower in body fat percentage, averaging around 23%, with an ideal of about 15%. Highly fit athletes are between 5-10%. Remember these are guidelines; your physician should help you determine the ideal weight and body fat for you.

::esign new effective workout plan that promotes muscle growth
:::Cutting down sugar and salt levels (maybe cutting them in half)
:::Lower Body Fat %, Weight, Heart Rate, BMI, and midsection fat

LPMNDCTE

July 12th Log:

Today is a rest day.

Treadmill Walk (30 minutes slow paced on 3.0 setting). I want my heart rate to stay under 120 at all times. More likely, my heart rate should be between 90-120 since this is just to get my blood flowing before I stretch. I will also perform the P90X Version of the X-Stretch and some of my own custom stretching techniques that will get me ready for tomorrow's workout. I plan to reinforce my goals of more food restrictions by decreasing levels of added sugar, sodium, sat. fat, and total carbs. In addition to this, I want my max dairy and fruit level to stay at 3 servings of each.

July 13th Log


I'm tweaking my cut plan a bit. Since I problably take in to many calories, I want to adjust my plan to cut my post workout calories from 530 - 330.

Cut Gatorade from 200 to 50 calories (from 32 ounces to 8 ounces)
Cut Post Workout Protein from 330 calories to 165 calories (from 3 scoops to 1.5 scoops of protein)


This will allow my added sugar total to decrease from a little over 56 grams to a little under 28 grams and aid in causing less damage to my heart & teeth. Note to self: Take a 32 ounce G Gatorade and split this into 4 seperate servings (14 Grams of sugar each). In addition to this, I will reduce the almond intake from 28 to 14. This reduction should reduce my calorie intake from 190 to 80. Since I need dietary fat, I want to take 7 nuts 1/2 hour before I jog a couple to a few miles.


I'm tweaking anything else I see wrong with my current plan to fit my needs asap. I recently also cut my cheese inake from 2 snack sticks to 1 snack stick. I want to keep dairy & fruit down to 3 products a day. This cut will last from July 13th to August 3rd.

Treadmill Walk (30 - 60 Minute Very Slow Walk on Treadmill)

Ice Down & Recover


Today, I will shoot to keep my caloric deficit alive and also add a new diet plan into my arsenal "The 40/40/20 Plan". I will see how today's diet goes and it will let me know approximately how many calories I need to takin... Slight pain in my knee from being it a couple days ago getting into the car, bit I'll continue to ice it down and stretch it out.

Plyometrics; Legs, Treadmill - Today I perfomed the P90X version of Plyometrics and completed about 4 miles on the treadmill (jogging). I began to cramp up because I tried to save time by drinking a protein shake right before the Plyometrics workout. I have to make sure that I do not do that again. I was very tired during the workout, but managed to finish this. Tomorrow, I will take full advantage of my rest day!

Yesterday, I completed the NECK, Back, and Bicep routine.

Neck - I performed isometric neck stretches. 3 sets each using a flat bench doing curls on back, chest, and both sides. I used a 10lb dumbbell during this workout routine. For direct trap work, I used 30 lbs of resistance. I will up this weight to 35 lbs the next time I work Neck, Back, and Triceps.

I skipped the Heavy Bag Routine because I did a 4 mile walk/jog and that was enough for my body....

LPMNDCTE
07-22-2009, 08:44 AM
Just finished a 4 mile jog. I reduced/almost completely eliminated the pain that I had in my side from yesterday by using a deep breathing technique that allowed my diaphram to open with more oxygen. I was about to complete the entire 4 miles in about 45 minutes. In addition to this, I ate my meal 45 minutes prior to jogging and made sure my body was hydrated before I began warming up. Once I get more use to running, I will gradually increase the pace. So far, I can jog at level 6 (at work machine). Later today, I will work on abs and obliques.

I worked out during lunch today because I knew I would not have time at home due to watching my child and having to clean up around the house. I was able to work out my chest, shoulders, and triceps today. This was a descent workout, but it was kinda rushed but I still gained alot of positives from today's workout. Incline Bench, Close Grip bench Press, Skull Crushers, Triceps pressdowns with V-bar & Rope, Seated Flies, bench dumbbell presses, Rocky Presses, Front and Side Lifts headlined my workout. I also Did seated presses. As I list all of this, I feel better about the routine because it was akward trying to rush through and get back to work on time. All in all, this was a good workout! :)

This morning, I woke up at 2:00AM. Since I could not go back to sleep, I walked/jogged on the treadmill. I passed my original plateau of 5.25 miles walking/jogging. My new career high for miles walked/jogged now stands at a treadmill equivalent of 7.5 miles. I feel like I'm in way better shape than I was in high school thanks to many of you guys that helped me out. This feels great, but for the rest of the week I'll only do many 3-4 mile sessions because I'm getting ready for a 10 vacation. I'll do minimal jogging during the vacation.

Here is my treadmill trainning for today:

3 minutes of stretching (warmup)
4 minutes of walking (warmup)
3 Miles of jogging
1 Mile walking
1 mile jogging
1/2 mile walk
1/2 mile jog
1/2 mile walk
1/2 mile jog
1/2 mile walk
4 minute slow paced walk (cool down)
2 minute quick stretch (cool down)

I underestimated how much glute, hamstring, quad, calves, and core work I still need to perform. After vacation, I will buy some real running shoes and begin to work on these areas a little smarter and harder.


Later today, I will work on Biceps, Neck, & Total Back together. I'll begin to focus a little harder on lower back to ensure that it is strong.

I worked on my back, neck, and biceps today at the WRAMC Gym. I did a good neck warmup, but had a very fast back warmup because of time. I forgot to due the cooldown, but I still feel okay. I left my protein shake at home. However, I seem to feel better not taking too much of it. I think that I will lower the amount of shakes I take after a workout from 3 to either one or two depending on the part of the body that I workout. I had a good workout today. Tomorrow, I should work legs but they are still fatigued from the 7.5 mile walk/jog. Depending on how I feel after I stretch, I may work them.

Little bit of pain in my wrist from hitting the heavy bag. I will wrap my wrist from now on. Made an adjustment to my schedule. I will no longer to abs before cardio. From now on, abs will be done on the same day is WORKOUT A for me. This is because do oblique benda and cable crunches seems to put stress on my lower back. I give my workout performance an A. I will add more grip work as I feel necessary.

LPMNDCTE

Introduction of Grip Work into my workout:

All In All

The exercises listed could either be done on one day at the beginning of your weekly split if your forearms are seriously lacking. For most trainees who just want to slightly bring up their forearms the work could be split into two sessions and done after upper body or arm session as so.

Upperbody Workout One
Wrist curls
Wrist extensions
Thick grip holds
Strap holds or grippers


Upperbody Workout Two
Lever bar work to front
Lever bar work to back
Finger extensions
Plate pinch's



If you are unused to doing grip work you may wish to slowly introduce one or two of these exercises at a time. This especially applies if the days following your session you have to do anything that involves picking things up, such as pens, phones, your toothbrush (i.e. any of you that don't want to be crippled for several days).

As to the sets and reps to be used, most advocate high reps for the forearms - yet I feel the set and rep protocol should reflect your goals. In other words low rep (3-6) work if you are after strength (under twenty seconds for timed hold work), medium reps (6-10) if your aiming for hypertrophy (20-40 seconds for timed holds) and if your aims are for improving muscular endurance and work capacity higher reps should be employed. A couple of sets per exercise will suffice. If your forearms do look like twigs with veins then try this routine for a period. Whilst I cant guarantee that your forearms will look like redwoods with even bigger veins, you should still be pleasantly surprised.


I want strength, so 5 reps is good for me of 20 seconds is good for me...

This morning, I performed 30 minutes of HITT on a treadmill at home. Usually its 20 minutes, but I needed the extra recovery time. During the day, I went to the Gym to stretch my entire body... I feel a little better, but I need more sleep. Hopefully, I will get a great deal of sleep tonight so I can be pumped up for tomorrow's intense workout.

Got about 3 hours of sleep + 1 hour nap that really affected my workout. I was unsuccesful in reaching my maxes. Plus, I realized that I do not have the strength to squat my maxes because my form sucks. To fix my issues, I MUST get more sleep. I stayed up to watch TNA Wrestling, but I should have been sleeping instead! I'm going to drop the weight back down to about 100lbs on the squat and videotape my form. From here, I will make sure that I use correct form from now on. This kinda sucks, but I have to make sure that I do the exercises correctly. I rechecked my bench press form and bent over row form. I feel that these forms are next to perfect, but I still need to videotape them anyways. Overall, my workout effort was an A, but my performance was a C+.

Bench Press - 184 Lbs for 5 reps with a slight pause at the bottom (1 inch off chest as well). I will train harder once my spotter devices come in.

Squat - ??? - I have to reset this because my form is invalid

Bent over Row - 66 lbs

Chest Dips - 14; 7 ( I think, could have been 13; 7)

Obliques - two 50lb dumbbells. - I will raise this soon

Abs - 2x ankle weights for verticle knee ups +10 lbs dumbell, and 30lb for cable crunch

Currently in a deload type of workout to work through joint pain in the shoulder, hip, wrist, and reduce chances of periodic spine pain. Eating habits are currently boderline. Not that good, but not that bad either due to holidays and just low will power. I'm in the process of moving, so my workouts will be limited until around January 4th. I'm still looking to increase deadlift, rows, and obliques, abs, oh press. However, I'll keep the squats in a deload and work on form.

This may be my last agressive workout for a while. I'm in the process of moving and need to save my energy...

MONDAY- WORKOUT A DELOAD DAY because of moving
____________________________________December 28th

I performed ONE TOP SET of Squats, Rows, and BP. I skipped Barbell Curls and dropped a set off of Chest Dips because I'm deloading and have to move furniture and boxes over the next couple of days...
