Daniel's trip to Hell and back

Howdy, had a decent workout today. Decided to do 30 minutes less of cardio then i normally would. Supposedly tomorrow morning we're going to have a tough team workout. I just want to make sure i'm ready for it.

morning:
stationary bike - 30 min
run - 1 mile/8:00
push ups - 100 (legs elevated 3.5 feet)
abs

afternoon:
sprints - 1 hour
tennis practice - 1 hour

Tomorrow i plan on wrecking havoc on my body. Tomorrow morning i have a team lift and run. I'll try and do the mini-triathlon after with pull ups, sit ups, and pull ups. Tomorrow night i'd like to do a light jog with boots. We'll see...

Success.
Killed myself today and couldn't feel better. I think thats an important part about working out. If you didn't feel great when it was over would we still do it? This was what i did today..

morning:
full body lift - 1 hour
stair climbs in the basketball stadium - 8

afternoon:
swim - 1 mile
pull up circuit - total = 42
superset with abs
basketball - 45 minutes

tonight:
run in boots - 3.67 miles - 30:26 (i ran from my house to the quad. Then i ran laps around the quad and stopped twice per lap to do 20 push ups. Turned out to be 160 push ups). You wouldn't believe how hard it is to run and stop every 3 minutes or so for push ups. First of all being winded when lifting weights is hard, but i was shocked at how much you use your arms and shoulders when running.

Very good work out today, and as i said i'm just super psyched..

-Daniel
 
Had a nice day of cardio today. No strength training this weekend but i'll start hitting it hard again tomorrow.

workout:
swim - 1600 y
bike - 40 minutes
abs
walk - 1 mile

simple..
 
Had a really great workout today. Very exciting. I had to do some max lifts today because my team is doing a sort of competition. It'll give you all an idea of where i'm at physically too.

morning:
swim - 1600 yards
run - 3 miles/22:30
bike - 20 minutes

afternoon:
Competition - pull up max = 16
bench press 155 = 19
sit ups in 1 min = 50
vertical jump = 2 feet
half mile = 2:20

After that i did my own work out.
[superset]
pull ups - wide grip 6/5 closed grip 6/5 under grip 6/5 over grip 5/5
push ups - 8x20
sit ups - 8x20

[superset]
push ups on balance board - 20/20/15/15/10/10/5/5
leg raises - 10/10/8/8/6/6/4/4

3 way crunches - 2x10
3 way planks - 2:20 mins
morning darlings - 15 into flutter kicks - 50 into leg levers - 15

So as i said, really got a sick work out in. Had the most on the team in bench press, pull ups and the half mile run. Only lost on sit ups by 4, and i felt like if it would've been a 2 minute contest i would've had it.

Hey everyone, good work out today. Took it easy on the upper body today because i was very sore from yesterdays festivities. We also have max push ups and dips tomorrow so i wanted to save my arms for that.

morning:
swim - 1000 y
run - 3 miles
bike - 30 minutes
stretching

afternoon:
sprints - 30 minutes
push ups 5x10
lots of abs
arm haulers 4x10

As i said, sort of a max week this week and i'm trying to perform well. I'm trying to keep up my work outs as much as possible while doing well in the competition. Tomorrow i'll burn it up to make up for today..

-Daniel
 
Hey everyone, sort of a weird day of working out today. I haven't been this sore for quite sometime and it is a little bit irritating because i can't maintain the same level of work outs as i have in the past months. This afternoon i went to the gym so i could do some slow biking and i really just couldn't do it. I could've forced it, but i figured if i was that sore i shouldn't do anything anyways... This is what i did today

morning:
squats in 30 seconds - 135/19
push ups - 58 in 1 minute
dips - 21 in 30 seconds
Walk on treadmill with steep incline - 30 minutes
(Yes, i resorted to walking because i couldn't run..)
push ups - 40/40/30/30/20/20/20
superset with 2:00 minutes of abs (after each set)

Afternoon:
pull ups - wide 6/6, closed 6/6, under 6/6, over 6/6
superset with 20 sit ups and 10 arm haulers

After that i went to try and ride a bit, but as i said i didn't think it was going to be beneficial. Otherwise i would've. Trust me.

-Daniel
 
Hey all, found out some good information today. Going to start alternating push ups and pull ups. Just means i have to really tear up the chest on push up days and shoulders and back on pull up days. Anyhow, had a bit of a break today.

morning:
swim - 1200 y
run - 3 miles/22:30
bike - 20 minutes
light abs

Was super sore from the week of maxing. Going to hit it pretty hard tomorrow with push ups and pull ups, i'll start the new program on monday.
 
Had a good work out today including 400 push ups and 65 pull ups....

morning:
5000m rowing - 19:40
2 mile run - 15:00
bike - 35:00
stretching

afternoon:
pull ups - 5x4 (+25 lbs)/5x5*(+10 lbs)/10/6/4
push ups - 5x10 (+25 lbs)/8x20
sit ups - 5x10 (+25 lbs)/5x15 (+10 lbs)/3x20

push ups - 3x25 (+25 lbs)/3x20/3x15
crunches in between sets of push ups
3 way crunches, 2 sets

not exactly sure how many push ups i did, because at the end i was basically maxing each set to about 15-20. Hopefully i've achieved being sore tomorrow. Thats my goal.

I love how my max push ups end up at 6 at the end of that work out. Really shows me i'm killing my arms. Every one of those push ups in the max sets bring serious pain to my tri's. I love it.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hey everyone, Friday night here. Just got back from the bar with a few pals. Had a relaxing workout today and a great work out yesterday. Not going to elaborate too much because i'm tired and need to lay down. On thanksgiving i ran 6 miles in boots and did 350 push ups with abs as usual. Today, i road a stationary bike for 75 minutes and did pull ups with abs. I've been staying on track, and tomorrow is my day off. I'm pumped. Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday.

Max push ups: 30/8/7/5
Total=350
tricep pressdown:4x15@50 lbs, 2x20@40 lbs

I've started to realize that if you can push through the pain on the max push ups you can really squeeze more out than you think. I think with practice and focus i can make improvements there. Only problem is, it's not fun to have that amount of pain in your triceps.. :/

I did a really sick amount of abs today. One of my teammates wanted me to show him what i have been doing for abs. He did really well actually, but he obviously couldn't quite keep up with me. I also realized how awesome it'd be to have a like minded individual to work out with everyday. I pushed myself harder just because i wanted to kick his ass on the weights.

-Daniel

Hey Peeps, had a good work out today. Making good progress. Even did an upside down push up today. The kind where your feet are up against the wall above your head. Really difficult, soon i'll be able to do more though.

morning:
30 minute bike
pull ups - 2x6 wide, 2x7 closed, 2x7 lumberjack, 2x7 over, maxes - 7/4/2
= 65 i think?
i super setted the pull ups with a good amount of abs

afternoon:
swim -
500 y free
250 y kick
500 y free
250 y kick
4x25 under water/25 y sprint on 2 minute intervals
100 y breast stroke

1 hour full body lift with some solid abs

I've been working on some water confidence drills lately. Doing this thing where i through my goggles over my shoulder about 10 yards and pretend my ankles and wrists are tied behind my back. Then i go get my goggles with my teeth. I've been doing that pretty well, so i've started to wait underwater for about 20 seconds before i go retrieve the goggles. Makes it a little more difficult. You'd be suprised how hard it is to manuever underwater with your ankles tied and your arms behind your back...
