Cody's "Second Entry:" Back With A Vengeance! Starting Strength and Beyond...

[cody333]

I don't know. Good question.

If you aren't following/sub'd, log is very active now:

I probably could have done 6 the first time that I did 5, and I'm sure my muscles were a little fatigued by that point (plus I usually do the 'ups about 45 seconds after benching)

One of the days I'll have to try just warming up going for max chin-up reps just to see.

Been following your journal since I started posting workouts again a couple weeks back. Just lurk, don't have much to contribute otherwise. You should max your pull ups next time you do them first thing.

Core

Stretching

Pull ups: (2 min) prescribed/actual
9/9
7/7
6/6
7/7
9/10

Last set was tough. rest were easy.

Upside Down Row:
BWx10
BWx10
BWx10

Pistols:
BWx5
BWx7

Back feeling ****tier than normal today. Was going to squat but decided against it. I'll just concentrate on pistols for now I suppose. Lower right side and upper back right on the spine is pretty tight.

Sunday March 2 2014

5 min bike

Push Ups: prescribed/actual
36/36
40/40
30/30
24/24 (relaxed halfway through)
40/30...10 took a break before the last 10 reps.

Rest time on these was supposed to be 1 min. I probably averaged somewhere around 3-4 min. My muscles felt tired as soon as I woke up so I figured it was not going to go well. I'll just keep going with this push up workout until I can manage. However long it may take.

Stretching

DB Curls:
35x10 each arm
40x5 each arm
45x5 each arm


Now onto my third week of my second rotation out of three up here in northern Saskatchewan. The combo of working every day, complete **** food, and getting up extra early to work out are wearing on me. But that's okay, I shall preserver

[Farley1324]

I may do a chin-up max reps day after my current cycle, nothing else, and count it as an upper body deload day.

I have been to the gym 4 times since I last posted, but I am only going to post my last two.

Bike:5 min

Push ups: prescribed/actual 2-3 min rest until last set where I took about 5 minutes
36/36
40/40
30/30
24/24
max (atleast 40)/40

This was the third time doing this routine. It still sucked. Tomorrow (Sunday) I will be doing week 5; day 2

Pistols
BWx7
BWx5

Kinda messed my left knee up a bit on the second set. Was getting kinda reckless with them (weight not on back foot, tennis shoes on when already on squishy surface). Nothing too bad but I am going to lay off it until it gets back to normal.

Stretching

Pull Up Max Test

BWx18

Wide Grip Pull Up: 2 minute rest
BWx5
BWx6
BWx5

bit tougher than standard pull ups.

Stretching

[Farley1324]

How many pull ups or chins you think you can do for a one set max?

Check the journal entry I'm about to type up for a decent answer.

[cody333]

Have been working out (trying at least). I have been have a problem the last two weeks with exercise induced headaches. Really random and really sucks. Never really have had a problem with headaches before, but these are pretty bad and not something to try and work through. I suppose for now I will just quit working out and see what a doc says when I go back home on April 10 if it is not improved by then.

Saturday January 2 2015

I decided I need to start posting in here again to hold myself more accountable and it's alot easier to remember what I have done the last few workouts when I can easily look it up. I have been working out on and off (more off than on) since I last posted here long ago. I decided this year is going to be a productive year in the gym. Not a resolution, but a goal.

Had surgery for an impingement in my hip June of last year and am finally starting to get back to fully functional. Squatting did not effect it at all today. Plan on doing Starting Strength routine for the most part. But instead of deadlifts I will do calf raises/lunges/pull ups instead on those days.

Squat (3 min):
BWx5 45x7 95x3

135x5
135x5
135x5

Bench (2-3 min):
45x7
95x5

115x5
115x5
115x6

Powerclean (1 min):
(95x3)x5

All were easy and felt good. As they should. Will probably add 10 lbs to squat and 5 lbs to bench next time.

Weight: 153.2. Got some serious work to do. The hardest part about getting back in to it is the diet.

[Farley1324]

Near Year resolution? Yeah I'm not doing a resolution either but am about to start lifting regularly...

[cody333]

Jesus that was a fast reply. I don't like the idea of New Years resolutions but I suppose you could call it that.

[Farley1324]

Jesus that was a fast reply. I don't like the idea of New Years resolutions but I suppose you could call it that.

The forum made me wait an extra 17 seconds because I had made my last reply too recently lol.

Edit: 14 seconds this time.

[cody333]

So what are the gun forums on here that you post in? Or the misc forums as they call them.
