North of Nashville by a little bit here. A trip to northern Bammy would be no problem for me if there was a meet involved! Also I already plan on the warrior dash dealio.

2-10 Walked 15 Minutes 2-11 Squat: Barx5x2, 105x5, 145x3, 185x2, 205x2, 235x5x3 Bench: Barx5x2, 95x5, 135x5, 155x3, 185x5x3 Deadlift: 135x5x2, 185x5, 205x3, 225x3, 265x5 Pullups: 5,4,3,3,3,2,2,1 2-12 Walked 15 Minutes 2-13 Took the day off in anticipation of sprinting friday 2-14 Went to the local indoor track, approx. 130yds, walked 2x, ran 3x and then I stopped counting but did a total of 3 more laps sprinting. Whole thing took about 25 minutes. 2-15 Squat: Barx5x2, 115x5, 145x3, 185x2, 205x2, 225x1, 245x5, 245x2(form slipped, back rounded so I racked it for a couple of breaths)245x3, 245x5 Press: Barx5x1, 65x4, 75x3, 85x2, 110x5x3 Pullups: 8 sets of 3 Also practiced powercleans with an empty bar working on the top part of the movement and racking the bar on my shoulders.

If I'm still around here at that time I'd be in for sure. Following for updates. I'm assuming that staying on site is required?

2-6 BBWW: 3 circuits 2 Min rest between circuits Times: 2:35, 2:40, 2:29 Kinda wondering why the times are all over the place. Seriously thinking about increasing rest and adding more circuits to get better at the exercises 2-7 Morning walk: 20 Min in New Balance Minimus to feel them out along with the Fivefingers 2-8 I decided to go to the gym in the morning and on an empty stomach. Although I got my workout done a lot quicker I think this was a mistake. I had been up 45 Minutes or so and before I even finished squats I felt like I was out of gas. I probably should have stopped right there and continued later in the day. I feel like the workout below set me back a bit and really did more harm than good. Not happening again anytime in the near future. I feel like crap about this but here goes! Squat: Barx5x2, 135x5, 155x4, 185x3, 205x2, 225x5x3 (I will repeat this the next workout, my form was horrible) Press: Barx5x2, 75x5, 95x2, 105x2, 115x4, 110x3 (Working sets will be at 110 next workout) Deadlift: 135x5x2, 185x5, 205x3, 225x2, 245x1, 265x3 (Working set will be 260 next workout, this felt much much heavier than 255 did before) Pullups: Did not attempt Notes: No more morning workouts for this guy. Eat before you go to the gym.

No clue of what it might be. I have something similar going on, limited ROM in my left shoulder from an old injury, I cannot pull my elbow as far behing on the left as the right and I cannot raise my arm from my side to above my head. It gets uncomfortable sometimes in day to day stuff and stiff however I don't have and problems with it in the gym. Make sure to stretch it well on your non workout days and after workouts and do a thorough warmup before you push heavy with it.If bench pressing or pushups get uncomfortable dropping the elbows down closer to my body (think wings lifted but not all the way) takes care it. Hope some of that helps a little bit.

^^^^ What Bolson said above. Is there a particular reason for the 145lb mark?

Is there anything wrong with what you have been doing? Are you getting results you dont want?

Opposite here, I have n problem moving around but watching the diet is the hard part. Just trying to make better choices each day than I would have in the past. Same may work for you... Try to do more today than you did last week.

Looks like I'll meet my goals a lot faster than I thought I would. Not upset about that at all. 1-30 BBWW 20 Squats, 10 pushups, 20 lunges, 3 pullups(neutral grip), 15 sec plank, 30 jumping jacks. Did 3 circuits, 1st time was 3:01 2nd was 2:45 3rd 2:57 with 3 minutes between sets 2-1 Gym day Squat- Barx5x2, 95x5, 135x5, 165x3, 195x2, 205x5x3 Press- Barx5x2, 65x5, 85x3, 95x2, 105x5x3 Deadlift- 135x5x2, 185x3, 205x2, 235x1, 245x5 Pullups- 5,3,3,3 60 sec between sets 2-4 Gym day Squat- Barx5x2, 95x5, 135x5, 185x3, 205x1, 215x5x3 Bench Press- Barx5x2, 95x5, 135x5, 155x3, 165x1, 175x5x3 Deadlift- 135x5x2, 185x5, 205x3, 225x3, 255x7 Pullups- 4,3,2,1,1 60 sec between sets 2-5 Signed up at a local place with an indoor track to walk/jog in the mornings on the days I do not lift. 15 Minutes in Fivefingers to start getting used to them.

I would go with a rowing machine of some sort, that may lead to a bit of dizziness though.

Disturbed: God of the mind A welcome burden Those two always play on the way to the gym. If I get stuck at a redlight I have time to throw in Meaning of life too.

I use a yearly planner. Right now I keep diet notes and workouts in it and when I start running that will go into it as well. I don't like the distraction of having my phone in my hand while i'm in the gym and if people wanna watch then oh well, they already watch me Squat so whats the big deal if they look at my notebook?

I tried to ignore it. I tried real hard. If someone dies from being shot it is because of one of three things: blood loss, damage to vital organs or disruption of the central nervous system. It's not because they were hit with a 9mm, 40, 45, 10mm, 338 Lapua or 50bmg. Some rounds will certainly do more damage than others. Whatever tool enables YOU as an individual to effectively defend yourself and loved ones and defeat your enemy is the right tool for the job. Just my .02

I'm interested for sure! Posting here and following the topic so I'll remember to sign up a little closer to that time. Looks like a blast!

Alrighty then, now that I have a little more direction with my lifting here goes 1-22 through 1-28, with the lifting done in an actual gym and BW stuff being done at home. Pullups, chinups and neutral grip work will be labeled as such. 1-22 BBWW 20 Squats, 10 pushups, 20 lunges, 3 pullups(neutral grip), 15 sec plank, 30 jumping jacks. Did two circuits, 1st time was 2.56 2nd was 3:18. Legs were pretty smoked! Gonna push out a third next time and work on getting my times down, If I can hit under 2:45 for the first and keep the 2nd and 3rd under 3 flat i'll add reps until I cant keep that up anymore, rinse and repeat. 1-24 1st workout at the local gym Squat- Barx5x2, 65x5, 95x5,115x5,135x5,155x3,185x5x3 Pullups- 4,3,2,2,1 60 sec between sets Press- Barx5x2, 65x5, 75x5, 85x3, 95x5x3 Deadlift- 135x5x2, 155x3, 185x2, 205x2, 225x5 My grip was slipping pretty bad on the deadlift, decided next time i'd bring chalk and do them before chins. Also I need to keep an eye on my wrists during the press, i've got a tendency to roll them a bit. 1-28 Squat- Barx5x2, 95x5, 135x5, 155x3, 185x2 195x5x3 Bench press- Barx5x2, 65x5, 95x5, 115x3, 135x5, 155x5x3 Deadlift- 135x5x2, 155x5, 185x3, 205x2, 225x1, 235x5 +1 (grip slipped on the first pull, reset and did a complete set) Chin ups- 5,4,3 60 sec between sets, couldnt hold on after the 3rd set Not really sure if I want to risk missing pullups or deadlifts at this point. Or go buy straps.
