Great looking workout Shane. 5pps on Leg Press is huge man...with sets of 10 nonetheless. Must be that chili-power at work there. :)
Love that leg workout Shane. I really love the lateral lunge/air squat combo too. And like Greg said, 5pps is the stuff of legend for skinny legged people like me. :D

A leg press is something I wish I had access to, I have KBs in the garage but never use them...no excuse there :). Time flies when you are having fun. Good work Shane!

Tuesday
Weight 234
Rogue Bike 10 miles
Time 28:18
I am putting this out here as a personal challenge to myself. 220 by Christmas. That is 14 pounds in 7 weeks. It will make a nice Christmas gift, and I might even wrap it in a bow for the wife. Haha.

Great work on the bike man! :) 10 miles on one of those bikes is no joke.
I like your challenge and I know you can knock that out. With your keto diet earlier you were shedding weight like it was nothing.

Thanks Greg. The echo bike makes you earn your mileage that is for sure. No coasting down hills. :D
I hope so man, my body really is liking hanging around the mid to high 230s. Pushing into the low 220s will take some work.

Awesome workout Shane! :) Way to go hitting 10 reps at 265 on the sumos. That is some serious reppage there.
I hear you on the diet. My body settled in at it's new normal weight around 215. As I start really focusing on the keto though it seems like it starts dropping again. Hopefully the same thing'll happen for you in your quest for 220.

Thanks Greg. Sumos seam easier to rep than standard deads do. Must be the decreased ROM on them. I have stayed pretty low carb for the most part but I am definitely not back in ketosis yet. I have been averaging net carbs in the high 30s lately though. Hoping dialing that in will also help keep my hunger at bay.

I was going to do some farmers carries today but I decided to be boring.
Digging all of the cardio in here Shane. That's a lot of calories for 35 minutes on the elliptical. Also, some serious numbers on sumos the other day. Taking a few points of for farmer carries being omitted though. :cool: J/K :D

Weight is trending down!
That tri set is a nice grouping...step ups; again another thing I have forgotten about. This is why its nice to keep up on others journals, it gives me some ideas for accessories and conditioning.
Agree with Trent's Metcons....he is special with those :D.
Nice workout Shane. :) I really like the looks of that tri-set. I might have to steal that from you.
I have an easier time repping the Sumos too. That's actually got me thinking harder about the BBB 3 Month Challenge again. I always hated the 5 sets of 10 with deads but I think with Sumos it'd be much better.
I hear you about staying around 30+ grams of carbs and out of ketosis. I'm in the same boat. As long as the weight is trending down though, that's OK. You can always save ketosis in your bag of tricks for that final 5-10 pounds and crank down the carbs for that final push.

I think sumo 10 rep sets would be a hell of a lot better than standards, no doubt about it! Weight is still trending down so that is a plus. I agree though, once I get down to where it gets harder getting in ketosis will help get me over the hump.
Saturday
Cardio
Went in to jog a 5k. Got about 3/4 of a mile into my run and cramped out with a side cramp. Fawk it.
Elliptical
3 miles
35:15
515 cals.
My garmin says total cals burnt with the jog was 689 cals.
That is it.
I was talking to a guy at work today and we were comparing knees. LoL. When I showed him my knees he was shocked to see how bad my knee caps had shifted off to the side. This made me even more curious so I went looking on youtube for more answers.
Apparently my IT band is a big player in this. This is also known as runners knee or IT Band Syndrome.
Jeff has a pretty good vid on it and how to fix.

Hopefully this is going to get me back to squatting here soon.

Nice two sessions here buddy. Yeah, no kidding, I thought I was the only one crazy enough to do high rep sets of DLs, or any leg exercise for that matter. :D Heck of a job on that session and I bet your heart was beating. Sorry to hear about the cramp. That's why I prefer to run on an empty stomach. No cramps! No mercy! :D Sounds like you got some work in on the elliptical though. Nice job brother!

If 5k is not your thing...Some things I found that are highly effective...running intervals. You dont need to be scientific, just walk for a few minutes...then very light jog for a minute....then transition to running as hard as you dare for 10-20 seconds....then walk....rinse repeat of 30-45 minutes...This method will be harder on you and easier on you than you think. I also find rowing highly effective...and for us older dudes it will work your whole body without beating it up. If you see a C2 rower at the gym try it out.
Sorry to hear about the cramp Shane. :(
Fwiw, when I'm dieting down (especially low carb) I have to take a Potassium and a Magnesium supplement to keep from getting cramps. This is especially true if I do any sort of ab work. I get terrible, charley-horse style cramps in my abs if I don't. Some guy at a health food store told me to take those two supplements together...I was dubious about it but it has worked well for me.

Thanks Trent. LoL. High rep deads suck! Yeah, I ran after lunch time, I prefer to run on an empty stomach as well. I was not surprised by the cramp, but it sucked regardless.

Thank you CPW. Good advice. I like doing intervals, and I did like the rower but the one thing I dislike about the rower is the jolt at the full back position. I haven't done them in awhile and I might give them a go again this week to see if that still aggravates my knees.

Thanks Greg. Yes you are correct on the low carb and magnesium and potassium. This was a different cramp, runners cramp. I agree though you must supplement those and I do. :)
