My Diary

Upper Body I - 2/22/10

A Barbell Bench Press - 95, 115, 4@180, 125, 95
B Cable Row - 90, 112.5, 4@180, 122.5, 90
C Shoulder Press - 25e, 25e, 45e, 30e, 25e
D Lat Pulldown - 67.5, 82.5, 135, 97.5, 67.5
E Lying Triceps Extension - 20e, 40e, 30e, 20e
F Dumbbell Bicep Curl - 20e, 4@40e, 30e, 20e
G Side Deltoid Raise - 12, 25, 20, 12

Overall - A little disappointed in A, as I dropped a rep in the first work set. But, that's offset from C - added weight and was able to clean the weight without difficulty. The rest is about the same as last week.
 
Lower Body I - 2/23/10

A Squat - 95, 115, 185, 125, 95
B Hamstring Curl - 60, 70, 120, 80, 60
C Quad Extension - 105, 125, 205, 145, 105
D Decline Situp - R2, R4, R3, 9@R2
E DB Swings - 40, 80, 60, 40
F Standing Cable Twist - Plate 5, Plate 10, Plate 8, Plate 5
G Standing DB Calf Raise - 40, 80, 60, 40

Overall - Squats were tough today - not sure why. The rest of the workout was pretty much the same as last week.
 
Upper Body II - 2/25/10

A Seated Chest Press - 95, 105, 180, 135, 95
B Seated Cable Row - 45, 52.5, 70, 60, 45
C Shoulder Press - 25, 30, 50, 35, 25
D Seated Lat Pulldown - 70, 85, 4@140, 100, 70
E Cable Triceps Extension - 20, 40, 30, 20
F Cable Bicep Curl - 20, 4@40, 30, 20
G Cable Rear Deltoid Raise - 10, 20, 15, 10

Overall - Because of predicted snow on Thursday, I went to Planet Fitness and got a workout in at 12:30am. While not the best workout place, being open 24/7 and having enough gear to get a decent workout in is worth the $10/month.
 
Lower Body II - 2/27/10

A Deadlift - 115, 135, 230, 160, 115
B Hamstring Curl - 60, 70, 120, 80, 60
C Quad Extension - 105, 125, 205, 145, 105
D Hanging Leg Raise - 6, 12, 9, 6
E Romanian Deadlift - 75, 150, 105, 75
F Side Bends - 40, 80, 60, 40
G Standing Calf Raise - 40, 80, 60, 40

Overall - Deadlifts were my redemption this week, having added a rep to get a complete set. This of course means that I'll be using 235 for my next workout. Had to sub in Side Bends in F as both cable machines were in use. Apart from that, nothing unusual in this workout.
 
Upper Body I - 3/1/10

A Barbell Bench Press - 95, 115, 5@180, 125, 95
B Cable Row - 90, 112.5, 4@180, 122.5, 90
C Shoulder Press - 25e, 30e, 50e, 35e, 25e
D Lat Pulldown - 67.5, 82.5, 135, 97.5, 67.5
E Lying Triceps Extension - 20e, 40e, 30e, 20e
F Dumbbell Bicep Curl - 20e, 4@40e, 30e, 20e
G Side Deltoid Raise - 12, 25, 20, 12

Overall - A fine workout today. I'm particularly pleased about getting the rep back in A. I had thought about going for 6, but I don't think I would've made it so I backed off. Still, a fine workout, even if the numbers remained pretty much the same. Curious to see how squatting will go tomorrow.
 
Hey Tom,

I should come here more often...you are pretty thorough.

I'll make sure to give you a hard time more often from now on.

:rofl:
 
You should recover here. I'll get us bells. Mmmmmm

Sounds like a pretty calorific recovery lol. But I'd be up for it - it's been a while since I've been to NYC (as I think that's about where in NY you're at?). Much more familiar with Philadelphia though as I go there often.

G Side Deltoid Raise - 10, 20, 15, 10

Overall - It was good to get back into the gym and get lifting again. Will see how my back feels as time goes on, and will probably look up a local chiropractor to help.

Lower Body II - 4/16/10

A Deadlift - 100, 120, 200, 140, 100
B Hamstring Curl - 55, 65, 105, 75, 55

Overall - Had to step back from the two big boy plates as this workout was the one I'd been away from the longest (7, possibly 8 weeks). It kicks my butt in its regular rotation, but coming back to it after a long hiatus, I had more than my usual doubts about getting through it. Still it's done, and hopefully the turnaround continues.
