Off season training for motivation and other malarkey!
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2011 11:17 pm
First day back in the gym, after taking some time off for rest and for my gym to repair the ceiling which was falling apart! They added new machines (which I refused to try, purely on principle) and the new layout does seem to be more functional, even if it is excessively crowded with crap! Today consisted of two workouts, my morning workout was derailed ( horrible term for a railroad man to use!!) by a old friend from high school and a 62 year old braggadocious wind bag that has seemingly been everywhere and done everything. I also forgot that I was on a schedule to assist my local government in debt relief, by attending court for a expired inspection. So, here is what I got in:
1) Multiple stretching movements- Big boy has to get loose! Even though I know they are helpful and I can tell a HUGE difference if I don't do them....I still hate them!!
2) Clean and Press (Strict, no leg drive)
10x45x2
8x95
8x135 (wrist wraps)
6x185
6x225 (belt)
3) Alternating Bicep Curls
20x10 per arm
50x10 " "
70x10 " "
80x10 " "
Break for shower and play dress up for 4 hours of watching college kids cry, women cry, old men cry and my ticket get dismissed. Back home for a nap and to give time for the after work crowd to thin out. Attempt #2:
1) 10 minutes at 15 degree incline and 3.5 mph on treadmill
2) More stretching to loosen up the hips and low back.
3) ATG Squats
45x10x2 ( didn't feel loose after the first one)
135x5x3
225x5x3
315x3x3
4) Body weight chins ( 310 lbs.) supersetted with T-bar rows.
5 chins and 45x10
5 chins and 90x10
5 chins and 135x10
5 chins and 180x10
5) Caber Curls
135x8x3
Any questions, tips, advice or just total trolling are welcomed/appreciated.
You stay classy, San Diego!
