10/24

It's pretty depressing, my bench seems to be permanently shot down by like 30 lbs.

I think I'll try to switch more towards strength endurance by doing closer to 10 reps with little rest between sets.

My last workout was a barbell complex workout with 135 lbs. Basically I did a power clean, 2 front squats, a push press, and 2 hang cleans. Then I went immediately to get a drink of water and would try to do another set immediately. I did this for about 40 minutes before I stopped and just did some dumbbell lunges and bulgarian split squats to finish off my legs.

10/16

Pretty much the worst upper body workout ever.

I guess I haven't done chest in a week or two so I ended up benching 185x7 max. My rows were roughly the same, and my abs were really weak. Hopefully I'll catch up by the next workout session.

10/13

Did a 4 sets of ~100m sprints as well a set of shuffles. Sprints definitely don't feel as hard as they used to; even the shuffles felt pretty easy. I feel that my start is pretty bad though, as my partner always is ahead of me in the first few steps.

10/12

Hm... haven't been eating all that much lately. I also haven't gone to the gym in a little bit because those squats left my legs extremely sore for the past few days. The past few days I just did a little fighting and played some broomball.

I should start eating 3 subs + shakes again.

My new diet:

10/9

Yesterday I ended up fighting two more people. I lost once and won the 2nd fight.

Today, I did a (surprise) boxing workout. Did 6 sets of 30 seconds of hitting a stationary heavy bag. I felt much better today than any other boxing day, and was able to finish the 6 sets without being totally gassed.

The 5th set wasn't 30 seconds though because my workout partner accidently stopped the watch at 0:11. So I just did 10 more seconds of really intense hitting.

My legs feel extremely sore from squats yesterday, and now my upper body will probably be sore too.

10/8

Had a great workout today:

Squats:

135x6, 185x6, 205x6, 215x6, 225x6, 235x6, 245x6, 265x1

Then I went to Subway and the grocery store before going to Fleming (my dorm). I brought boxing gloves there and we had a mini boxing tournament. Basically I used my height to keep people's heads down and then started wailing on the back of their heads. I fought 2 guys, one guy who was 175-180 lbs and the other who was 135 lbs. Surprisingly the 135 lb. guy gave me a run for my money; I definitely underestimated him.

10/6

Did 3 sets of: curls, dumbbell overhead press, calf raises, lateral raises, upright rows and 2 sets of abs.

I think my schedule will look like this from now on:
Legs one day, Upper body the next day, Off, Repeat

Legs will alternate between: cleans, deadlifts, squats, and sprints
Upper body will be like: chest/back/tri/bi/abs x 2, miscellaneous exercises like today, boxing

Hopefully I'll have time for this during the school year.

10/5

Deadlifts:

205x6, 225x6, 245x6, 275x6, 295x6, 315x1

The YMCA definitely has thicker bars than most gyms. Today's been a pretty good day in terms of food: 3 subway footlongs + shake with tons of grapes, 1 apple, peanut butter, nonfat plain yogurt, and 51g of whey so far.

10/2

Bench:

205x6, 215x6, 225x2, 175x4

Even though I did 225x4 before school started, I realize that I took a huge break between sets in order to do that. My left pec felt really sore, so I decided to just try and do 175x10, but I only did 4 because I didn't want to get injured.

1-Arm Rows:

90x10, 90x10, 95x10 (but only 6 on L arm?), 95x10 (but only 6 on L arm?)

Leg Raises:

35x10

Plank:

90 lbs for 1 min - this felt more tiring on my arms and back
