week 3

Well this is week 3 of the the Working out the New Year Resolution work out series this is the las week that I keep the reps at a moderate pace that also go with the weight and length of my workouts. today I am getting a late start but i am going to push threw with a good effort in preparation for next week.


Next week i will be moving my workouts to the IBC at Temple university. I know that some people cant make it to a gym for various reason and the biggest being cash. Planet fitness has been the talk around my office as a inexpensive spot to work off those pound and put on the muscle.

Full Body Saturday

Guess I will get myself motivated to get this work out done. I just ate so i need to relax for about thirty minutes. the rest of the week went well but its already past noon and my mind is wondering about doing other things. I hope to put a little more emphasis on my legs and chest today but without skimping on the other parts.

PostHeaderIcon Working Out the New Year Resolution part II

I decide to just do a weekly recap a to avoid a billion post. I know I promised pictures and videos but my basement is a mess and lacks light.

if you have any questions about the exercise please leave it in the comments or google it.


Tuesday

Basketball 1.5 hrs


Wednesday

chest triceps s and shoulders

  • 5 minute warm up run in place and jumping jax
  • 2 set bench press
  • 2 sets decline press
  • military press barbell
  • military press power bands
  • dips
  • triceps extensions power bands
  • diamond push ups

ten minutes on the bike


Thursday

Basketball 1.5 hrs


Saturday

Full body 1 hr

all exercises from Monday and Wednesday 1 set max effort and 20 minute bike spin



Summary

The chest triceps and shoulder work out turned out to be my most dreaded. because i am still feeling the effects. over all Wednesday's workout was a success and i stayed true to the idea of not over doing it. The muscle soreness was not as severe as it has been in the past but none the less it hurt.

Despite the pain I was motivated to get my full work out in on Saturday . The Saturday workout was a blast I loaded up Pandora on my pc and blasted System of a Down radio for an hour and a half and fished everything off with a 20 minute spin session.

PostHeaderIcon Working Out the New Year Resolution

As promised a work out blog entry. This marks the first work out of the series in which this week will be repeated for three weeks and then a new regiment will be implemented. This method will yield the best results to avoid monotony. videos and and a before pic to come to gauge my progress.

Day 1 Arms Back and legs

the first work out was a 30 minute hard rock blast listening to System of a Down God Smack and Rage against the Machine. here are the results

Pull ups
  • 5 under hand wide grip pullups
  • 5 under hand narrow grip pull ups
  • 5 neutral grip pull ups

power bands
  • 25 alternating curls (all three bands)
  • 25 hammer curls (all three bands)

free weights
  • 2 sets of 10 preacher curls (50lbs)

Legs

  • 2 sets of 20 weighted toe raised
  • 2 sets of 5 hamstring curls
  • 2 sets of 10 leg extensions
  • 2 sets of 10 squats
  • 5 minute medium effort spin on the bike

2 sets of 5 barbell curl

even though it was a short work out I got in every thing I wanted to do. I did not try to wear myself out to avoid the next work out blues. all in all I got the burn I was looking for but I avoided the fatigue, and first work out fatigue can destroy the winter come back.

PostHeaderIcon Ads on the blog

As you have probably noticed ads have been added to my blog. this is an attempt to maybe get some extra money for baby formula and pamper, oh yeah bike and computer parts. that depends on how well I blog get and keep users.

my main to focus point will be mountain biking/fitness and Linux/tech. my intentions are to do series article of both focus points and alow them to span for a month or two months but no more than 2 months to keep fresh ideas coming.

see you all on Monday with my first fitness series and then Wednesday when I start exploring Linux clustering.

A New Year and I'll try to get my grove back

We all know the drill back to the gym. i will not be starting as hard i i usually do as a strategy to not burn out. typically i will get threw to march and the weather will begin to break and its back to the bike. if the year turns out to be very wet that can do damage to my fitness level. this year my goal is to stay at a sustainable fitness level and build on it in the future.
