Jan 17, 2015 weight 173.4 cardio sucks I tried running and leg cramped up again. I think I need a new game plan Jan 18, 2015 weight 174.2 rest day! Day 46 Jan 19, 2015 weight 174.5 Warm up Squat 5x2 @45lb, 3x1 @95lb, 3x1 @125lb BP 5x2 @45lb, 3x1 @85lb Row no warm up pressed for time Main Workout 5x5 squat @ 155 lbs 5x5 bench @ 125 lbs 5x5 barbell row @ 130 lbs and stretch

Them OH press yeah? kicks my butt, had to drop weight to guarentee proper form. I enjoy the buff dudes video's on showing proper form days turn to weeks weeks to months but it starts with the days. I only missed one day of my stronglifts but picked it up on a Saturday ( got too drunk on Christmas morning bloody mary's, like really really drunk, like haven't been that drunk since my sister in laws wedding 3 years back) Stay motivated brother! Have you purchased your chuck taylors yet??

I watched a guy on the smith machine today load it up with weights put the little pad thing on the bar and proceed to do squats. yes he had more weight then I, but I am free weight and have the form going all the way down. this guy was going about 1/4 down. He seemed like a fit dude too. I think I saw him snicker at me but it's cool, he's the one on the smith machine. So yeah who cares if it's lower weight right now. focus on that form and in a few weeks you will be right back up to the bigger weights This app really is cool keeping track of the warm ups cool downs and main workout. along with your current weight. and it's customizable, adjusting weights as needed and even the amount it adds each week.

Friday Jan 16, 2015 Yeah get some! Education listened those cd's for a good long time. It's great having a closed office so I can just blare it in the background and repeat the words when prompted and not worry about any other individuals bothering me. Also had to keep up my streak on duilingo. Ordered one of my text books for school as the other is not needed. I emailed the professors ahead of time so I don't have to waste the money. one said she gives material in class and has slides while the textbook is only used as reference for exams. I can check out the textbook at the school library when needed for 4 hours at a time so got that covered. warm up freaking love this app man keeps track of it all Squat 2x5 @45lbs, 1x3 @ 95lbs, 1x3 @ 125 lbs OP 2x5 @ 45lbs DL 1x5 @ 135lbs main workout Squats 5x5 @ 150 lbs Overhead press 5x5 @ 85 lb Deadlifts 1x5 @ 155 lbs I dropped some weight on the OH press to perfect my form, looked good this time so next will be 90lb again I also said F@^$ it and won't worry about sore legs and cardio. I think walking that half mile before the main cardio helped a lot. we'll see tomorrow as I plan to do some more cardio.

do not get discouraged. There are days where I am like, do I really need to work out. But I see the results I have made so far and I know that once I am in the gym I will feel better afterwards. I can't tell you to not be stressed over medical issues because well dammit that stuff is stressful. I have been doing 3rd shift for 5 years now. I have no life and it sucks trying to make plans. You know that guy falling asleep in the chair at the heavy metal concert...no I am not drunk just too freaking tired becuase I've been up for 24 hours now. I have 3 layers on my windows to block out the sun and a fan that is blowing on high to drown out noise. Keep at it DOMS are temporary I had them for the first week and half, now I am fine the next day except for a little soreness like I used my muscles but nothing aching like I first started man that sucked.

That is a cool cake. All cakes in this house are now gluten free because of my wifes gluten sensitivity. It's just not the same.

Awesome. I am curious as to your warm ups before your work out weight. it might help if you dont do it already to do a 2x5 with just the bar. The app is also very help for 5x5. I've even gone as far as to unlock it for the first part. All this food pics is making me hungry.

Not to sound discourteous...but a Marine will never refer as ex...once a Marine always a Marine. We prefer prior service Marine or of something similar. an ex-Marine is one that recieved dishonorable discharge. That is awesome. Wife will not allow military again either, I know the feels. I will look at this running program more closely and add some of those aspects into my regime. We shall keep each other motivated

Thursday Jan 15, 2015 my cardio sucks right now. I think it's due to my stonglifts work out and just being tired. The plan is to not add anymore weight for my stronglifts until after the test. Just maintain what I am doing now. as far as the squats go. When I run I feel it mostly in my right calf. warm up half mile walk at 3.5 MPH pace on treadmill stretched Ran 3/4 mile at 6 MPH pace and 1/4 mile at 8 MPH pace walked another half mile at 3 MPH pace at which half of that was at a #10 grade stretched education, listened to some more of the cd. watched some oral board video's. about 2.2 hours worth. plan on watching some ASL stuff now after I get an avocado..mmmm

One of the things about my hyperthyroid is not worrying about what I am eating...just as long as I eat alot. Finding that my goals might not be so SMART either and may have to re-adjust I need to get more cardio in so that I can pass my test so may have to put the stronglifts to 2x a week workout where's the picture of the cake?

wore my new chucks today. Yes I can tell the difference between these and my running shoes. Felt more solid. Used the new app unlocks as well. It's nice being able to keep track of warm ups and easier to figure out weights instead of second guess myself and adding the weights up 5 times to make sure I am right.

Tuesday Jan 13, 2015 173.2 2 hours of education was me running around the college trying to get the money for the go back to get ahead program I had taken a half day at work because my child had the day off from school due to inclimate weather. Did not get to the gym because I was running around the college campus for 3 hours, I got the cardio though from taking 6 flights of stairs multiple times. go to cashier, oh you need to speak to financial aid, oh not us you need to speak to the people through those double glass doors, oh not us you need to speak to financial, I stopped them right there and said I was not playing this game anymore. The 2 people I needed to speak to were not available that day so she brought me to the front desk to take my number, then miracle happened. The lady I needed walked by. Long story short everything was taken care of and I start next Thursday. WOOT! On the way back I stopped at the library and got several kids spanish books and a language cd. Wednesday Jan 14, 2015 weight 171.1 Education I listened to my new cd's and completed some more duolingo sections. unlocked 5x5 app and started today using the warm up routines suggested. Also wore my brand new lift shoes converse 1 star which is the traget version of chuck taylors. http://0.static.wix....c767.wix_mp_256 Warm up Squat 5x45lb, 5x45lb, 3x115lb, 3x115lb BP 5x45lb, 5x45lb, 3x75lb Row 5x95lb Main Workout 5x5 squat @ 145 lbs 5x5 bench @ 120 lbs 5x5 barbell row @ 125 lbs stretched afterwards

Day 40 Jan 13, 2015 173.2 Nothing special ran around college trying to get the monies owed to me for the go back to get ahead program. Day 41 Jan 14, 2015 weight 171.1 unlocked 5x5 app and started today using the warm up routines suggested. Also wore my brand new lift shoes converse 1 star which is the traget version of chuck taylors. http://0.static.wix.com/media/e8a2a33dc06f06c9cd070d3ca954c767.wix_mp_256 Warm up Squat 5x45lb, 5x45lb, 3x115lb, 3x115lb BP 5x45lb, 5x45lb, 3x75lb Row 5x95lb Main Workout 5x5 squat @ 145 lbs 5x5 bench @ 120 lbs 5x5 barbell row @ 125 lbs stretched afterwards

I just watched the 5x5 video...then a different video. and then I did a youtube search for barbell row done by "buff dudes" and found this informational bit I really like the video's done by Buff Dudes they just don't tell you do this...they explain why and what makes it proper. I guess I have been doing the pendlay row which is the same way the guy in the 5x5 video is doing. I touch the floor then come back up.

So I unlocked the powerpack. The features are cool, warm up sets are trackable, the plate calc tell you what you need for plates. (no more second guessing myself) I mean if you've been doing this for awhile the plate calc prob won't be needed but it's nice to know on the fly. Also as long as you are putting in the your failures (when you only do 4 reps) it says the app will adjust to help you. I notice I have been using too heavy of weights on my warmups as it tells me to use the empty bar twice for my squats. I am not sure if this was a feature before but I can add past workout dates. I started the 5x5 before i got the app but couldn't use the app due to old phone. now I wll go back and populate the fields. Also I have a cool bar graph and backup that can be uploaded to goodle drive or local sd card. worth 10$? maybe 5$ who knows, but I feel I will get my money's worth as I will use the features.

looks like you are coming along...I am about to pay for the full app unlock. Spinning class....I've watched one...seems intense. The one in our gym though would require earplugs I think they play the music way too loud for such a small room.

How was your weekend?

Thanks man I appreciate all the words you have given me. I do have a few books on spanish somewhere in this house, I just have to find them. Thank you for you support. I appreciate you taking the time to help me stay motivated. I must get to the library and see what they have available for the subject.

Day 37/38 Jan 10/11, 2015 WEEKEND! weight 171ish both days Did some cardio on Saturday but was all over the place tried this one machine I never done before and cramped up my legs...tried to get finish off on the treadmill but legs hurt so bad...finished the 30 minute session with just walking. help move some old computer equipment from a persons basement, one of which was a UPS. 100+lb mother of a b#$%. I have bruises on the inside of my biceps from carrying it up the stairs. I am bringing my scale to the recycle center before I dump it to see how much this thing weighs. Sunday was rest day Day 39 Monday Jan 12, 2015 weight 174.3 Completed 2 hours min of education starting to learn some animals now in spanish. Gato Parros. When it comes time to do go on one of these police oral boards I will nail the interview. These videos are so helpful. I am glad I spent the money on earnyourbadge.com Inclimate weather, child has no school. Lucky for me the YMCA has child care. Warmed up with just the bar on squats and OH press adding weight as usual. I think I am going to splurge and by this app I've been using. it has a warmup section and would help with me keeping track better. main workout Squats 5x5 @ 140 lbs Overhead press 5x5 @ 90 lb Deadlifts 1x5 @ 145 lbs while doing the OH press I failed on the 3rd set 4th/5th rep so waited 5 minutes before I continued. then waited 3 minutes for the 5th set. Also while I was doing my squats this big dude comes over and said I should slow down on my way down on the squats and to control the weights don't let the weights control me. Otherwise I had PERFECT form, back straight, ass to grass, and everything. He said he use to teach squats among other things so that made me feel good. My wife even mentioned on Saturday night while we were out to dinner that my arms looked bigger. small woot! After workout spent some time with my daughter helping her practice her basketball skills. she is 5 and just started taking classes. I also bought some converse 1 star's which are the target line of chuck taylors. from what I read they are a good lifting shoe. so now I have two different pairs of sneakers for workout this way one has time to breath.
