Swinging_Jarnbjorn Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 My battle logs haven't been as frequent as my battles, but that's one of many things I'm working on. Anyway, here's today.Squats: 1x5x45, 1x5x95, 5x5x135Bench: 1x5x45, 1x5x65, 5x5x95Bent-over row: 1x5x40, 1x5x60, 5x5x80 So that's it for now. I've switched over from ICF 3x5 to Stronglifts 5x5, as I wanted to focus more on strength than hypertrophy. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, as I really enjoyed the volume of ICF, but I'm going to give it a go. Tomorrow looks like running (Zombies 5k week 1, unless I change my mind) and yoga (DDP Yoga). Life is full of hard times and good times. Learn from everything you can.

Swinging_Jarnbjorn Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Gonna do a two-day update here, and try to improve to once daily. Monday, 9/14:30 mins walking on treadmill. I was pretty tired at the end of the day, but I did something. We'll see how tonight (Wed. 9/16) goes. Tuesday, 9/15:Goblet Squat: 45x5x5 - This is the first time I've done the goblet squat, and I was surprised at how comfortably I broke parallel. Gonna look more into goblet and front squats.Overhead press: 50x5x5 - I'm coming up from a serious deload, and hope to improve on this quickly, while maintaining or improving my form.Deadlift: 135x5x1 set - I did this one straight legged, and it felt awkward. I carry a lot of belly weight, and I normally deadlift sumo. I think I'll ask the warriors for some perspective on this one.So that's it for now. I'm scheduled for cardio after work tonight, and if I can't push myself harder than Monday, I'm going to have to shift my schedule around. Life is full of hard times and good times.

Swinging_Jarnbjorn Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Reporting for Wednesday, 9/16/15: Got on a treadmill after work and did some running and walking at an incline of 5, for 20 minutes total. More walking than running, and I only covered 1.05 miles tonight, but something is better than nothing, and I've got big things in store! Life is full of hard times and good times.

Swinging_Jarnbjorn Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 9/17/15: Strength day. I'm still working on some formal issues that I want to fix, but this was a good workout.SUPERSETFront Squat: 45x5x5Farmer Carry: 45(each side) x 75 paces x 5 repsSUPERSETBench Press: 55x5x5Barbell Curl: 55x5x5Bent over row: 50x5x5 I feel like I get deeper with front and goblet squats than with back squats, and since I'm rebuilding, I figure I have leeway to experiment a little bit and find what works best for me.

Swinging_Jarnbjorn Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Today is a strength training day, and the workout was Ice Cream Fitness 5x5 Workout A. Since I didn’t go to bed until around 1:30 this morning, I didn’t get up until 30 minutes before work, so I decided to go to the gym on my lunch break, with the permission of my coworkers to take a longer lunch. Work sets are bolded.
