First half of week 1 is in the books, with only a couple days (of workouts) to go. Booyah.

TUESDAY - STRENGTH All weights are in pounds and everything is listed weight x reps x sets. I've decided to try splitting my full body routine (done three times per week) into a morning session and an evening session. Splitting upper and lower body for no other reason than it seemed logical. Having two sessions means I can get up a little later in the morning and spend a bit more time with my wife in the evening. So far so good... but then it was only day one. Started with just the bar last week. Will be adding 10 lb. per session to lower body lifts and 5 lb. per session to upper body lifts for the main exercises (everything that is 5x5) and whatever I feel like for the accessory work (everything that is 3x10/12). Morning Bench Press: 55 x 5 x 5 Lat Pulldown: 55 x 5 x 5 DB Incline Bench Press: (20 x 2) x 10 x 3 Rope Face Pull: 40 x 10 x 3 Curl: 45 x 10 x 3 Rope Pressdown: 40 x 12 x 3 Evening Squat: 55 x 5 x 5 Romanian Deadlift: 45 x 10 x 3 Bulgarian Split Squat: (5 x 2) x 10 x 3, (5 x 2) x 10 x 3 Leg Curl: 35 x 10 x 3 Standing Calf Raise: 10 x 12 x 3

That's an awful lot of mountain climbers for an Alliance team member... just sayin'... Maybe we can count mountain climbers as really low to the ground lunges? *HUGS*

That made my night. Thanks.

I got this bar from Amazon and it's actually pretty decent. It's gone too 300 lb. just fine.

Congrats on the student loan payoff! I'm looking forward to that myself... some day... I've got 210 conveniently scheduled during my current strength/cardio sessions, but I'm willing to put in more. I'm okay with lungeing around work, everyone already thinks I'm insane.

Thanks! Thank you! ALLIANCE! Thanks. I like to burn out; I'm attempting to change things up this time around! I WAS in design, advertising, marketing, SEO, and etc. NOW I'm heading up the entire "tech" department, which encompasses both design and IT.

I'm Alliance and I did mountain climbers this morning. That means the Horde gets -60 reps, right?
