The Workout:

Squats 3x5x180
Bench Press 3x5x130
Deadlift 1x5x180


That was the workout.



The Day:

It was an odd feeling being back at the gym after taking a week off. On the one hand I felt very strong and rested. On the other, I had this gripping mindset that simply didn’t believe I was capable of completing my lifts. I tried to counter it, however I was unable to rid myself entirely of the negative thought. The end result was that my focus was not where it should have been. Despite this I was after all still able to lift my desired weights (deloaded of course by around 20% in accordance with my short-term strategy to repair my previous form issues). And so, I am happy.


That was the day.




This concludes Entry #379.
 
Tuesday 12/29/09

The Workout:

TREADMILL:
2 mile run @ 13:58

CORE:
3 intervals:
1 min Plank
15 Hanging Knee Raises
30 Scissor Kicks
30 sec Rest



That was the workout.



The Day:

I’m still getting over disease and sickness. Today’s workout made that clear. During my run I had to sacrifice speed for time as I simply didn’t have it in me to go above 8.6mph. Within two minutes I had a big dough ball of phlegm circulating in the back of my throat. And by the end, my mouth was on fire. I usually crave for that intense dry metallic, like blood, taste. However in this instance I was obtaining it with a subpar performance. It was probably due to a week of my body not used to the torture I put it through in addition to the head cold that has been dragging on. After a few more days, as the remnants of sickness disappear and as my body begins to adapt again, I am sure I will get back to my old self. And beyond.


That was the day.

Wednesday 12/30/09
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diet:
8:00am:
Oatmeal {1+ cup Dry Rolled Oats}
Scrambled Egg Beaters {1.25 cups Egg Beaters, Red Bell Peppers, Onions} [Canola Oil]

That was my diet.



The Workout:

Squats 3x5x180
Overhead Press 3x5x80
Pull-ups 3x6,4,3


That was the workout.



The Day:

I felt better today, at least mentally so (can’t say for sure on the aspect of my cold as I still do notice its lingerings). Anyway, I was more motivated. My squat form improved from last Monday and I was able to further focus on contracting the proper muscles while maintain a tight structure. Later on I did my pull-ups which I admit did end up being quite poor. I contribute this to a multitude of possible factors. It could have been simply my body adapting from the week off, it could have been my small cold, it could have been my increased body weight, and it could have been my improved form with a wider grip to further stress my lats. It could have been any of those. And for that reason, just the mere fact that I pushed myself to failure on each set is good enough for me. At least for now.


That was the day.

The Day:

I overate for dinner. I definitely overate. I don’t know why. I shouldn’t be still making that kind of mistake.

My workout today was harder than I expected. I significantly struggled with my run as globs of phlegm poured out of me. I hope this is the last of my sickness that will test itself against my determination towards fitness. But, even if not, I won this battle. And I plan to continue to win. The war is already over in my mind.

The Day:

Today’s diet was chaotic. I had to adapt to the situations in front of me and considering that I believe that I faired very well.

My motivation was above normal later on at the gym. Despite a lack of sleep from the night earlier, I performed very well in each of my movements. My only real concern that still remains is my deadlift form. Next time I have a chance I should take some new videos to see if it still is having problems, or if I am just imagining a failure of form.


That was the day.

Measurements:

Body Weight: 155.20lb Change: +5.0lb

Percent Fat: 10.20% Change: +1.20%
Body Fat: 15.83lb Change: +2.31lb

Progress Pictures:

Will be posted after January 25th.

Thoughts and Opinions:

I am facing sticker shock. It probably is just a sudden flux in water weight from New Year’s eating events. However, I cannot help but feel anxious to overcome it. Is it still my weakness of becoming fat? Probably. At least I can acknowledge that. And so, with that knowledge I will not take the drastic route of reversal. Instead the only change I will make is a slight decrease in caloric intake. I will try to eat at around maintenance for a week or two. Let’s see where that brings me.

The Workout:

TREADMILL:
2 mile run @ 14:02
MET-CON:
4 intervals:

1 min Side-plank on each side
20 Slow Crunches
10 Leg Raises
30 sec Rest


That was the workout.



The Day:

The running is definitely getting easier. However, it was hardly an easy workout. The lunges combined with the jump squats really killed my thighs and by the end of the session I could barely stand to complete my post-workout stretching. It was a great feeling.

At dinner I feel too full. Spaghetti is deceptive and I may have eaten more than I thought. That combined with the most likely excessive amount of Olive Oil hidden inside the various sauces and cooking methods probably lead to a higher than suitable caloric intake. But, my other two meals were pretty much perfect and afterall I am bulking.


That was the day.

I had an unpleasent workout. It started out fairly good actually as my runs have been getting easier. And this was even the case despite a mild soar throat that started to develop over the previous night and continued throughout this morning. However, after the run I was hit with stomach cramps and pains. This type of physical fatigue is extremely rare for me. I had to take longer rests between activities and during each portion of my post-run routine I noticed definite decreases in preformance. In the end though, I am proud of simply accomplishing my task and finishing the session. I had doubts while in the heat of the moment, but I pushed through. And now I have a smile on my face for achieving past an all too common test of mind over matter.
