CB3 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Stardate 8/23/2013 With more energy then I have had all week I squeezed in a quick ab and calf workout this afternoon. Though, I suppose quick is relative as it was 25 + minutes.... Hanging leg raises (I can't get this with my legs straight but I did manage knees to elbows kind of thing and I realized that it works your back as well)Set 1:16 front12 each sideSet 2: 12 front10 each sideSet 3: 10 front8 each side (OMG the burn!!) Plank Rows; These are harder to do than I thought but I will work on it and they will get better, my form was terrible the second set.1 minute plank with rubber band rows switching arms 1/2 way through Set 2: was 45 seconds One arm decline KB sit upsSet 1: 20/13 lbsSet 2: 20/ 13 lbsSet 3: 20/ 13 lbs....really had to push for the last 5 but I did get them. My form suffered on the last 10 but who's counting!!! Calf raises, I held a KB in the same hand as the side I was workign and then switched sides, the reps are per side not total.25/ 13 lbs20/ 18 lbs16/ 23 lbs Pilates leg raises (its like doing the hundred but I use an 8 lb weight in each hand)100 count cycle. I realized today that I need to work my abs more but that will come in time as I know they are getting worked with my other exercises.

CB3 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 ok, and lastly, my workout for today Wonderous legs today! Leg press20/10018/ 12516/ 13512/145 PR!!I could have done more reps but I didn't want to over do it so I am thinking that maybe starting with 145 lbs as a warm up and working up from there Lying leg curl20/45 lb15/70 lb12/ 7010/70 PR! for reps. I suppose its time to up the weight on this one too. Jumping lunges16/ 18 lb dumbells in each hand10/ 23 lbs I think that I am going to have to graph my progress to really look at my improvements but I feel like I am making progress suddenly this last week or two. So rock on! Quote CB3 Warrior Status Battle Log "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

CB3 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 No workout yesterday, My beautiful daughter had a cross country meet so I left work early in leu of lunch and subsequently, my workout. But Today, today, was a different story! Back and bi's Lat pull down20/60 lbs15/80 lbs8/100 lbs PR!!7/ 100 lbs Concentration Curls10/18.5 lbs7/ 18.5 lbs12/ 18.5 lbsI did these in between my one armed rows, the last set shows what I can do if I give them adequate rest, I think I really should be taking a bit more time with these. Or I could do them first whilst my muscles are still fresh. Either way I think I can go up to 23 lb dumbbells One armed rowsI read on a fitness site that in order to more isolate the back muscles, you can sightly turn the hip up on the side you are working on about a inch higher than the other side and then lift. It does make a difference but I think it would have been a good idea to have upped the poundage here.20/ 18.514/23 lbs15/23 lbs14/23 lbs I also have tuned into the fact that I should probably so the smaller lifts first. Like the bicep curls and rows first, then the heavy lat pull down, seems to be more efficient, i think...granted who really knows it could just be my wonky sleep schedule (or lack there of ).

Eboncat Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Congrats on the PR!! W00t! I've found it makes a big difference what order I do the exercises in too. It's interesting to play around with it and see what differences it makes. Quote TANSTAAFL - Heinlein Current Challenge Level 6 Ranger. Level 1 Monk.

CB3 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I did decide to repeat more of the same exercises so I can compare stats and improvements readily. I will probably do this for a while, until I get bored that is. Todays work out:Squats : 44 lbs x 20, 88 x 15, 88 x 15, 100 x 10 PR! (I probably could have done a few more, I just didn't want to be too sore) 4520 lbs! lying leg curls: 70 x 10, 80 x 8, 80 x 8 ( I went kind of light here, again trying not to over do it) 1980 lbs. Deadlifts: 88 x 10, 88 x 10, 100 x 10 ALL 3 PR!! 2760! Overall: 9260!! wow. almost 5 tons...... It is totally crazy when you look at it that way!'

CB3 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 It's a good thing that this is a Battle Log since the beginning of today's workout was kind of a battle. I was very tired when I went to work out until I was thoroughly warmed up. Those first few reps were a struggle, kind of crazy... Anyway, chest and tri's (3939 lbs over all) Incline flies (overall weight moved; 647.5/dumbbell or 1295 total)18.5 x 1518.5 x 1018.5 x 10 Skull Crushers (1192 lbs!)18 x 2026 x 1626 x 16 Flies (since I ran out of time to bench ) (726/ dumbbell or 1452 lbs!)18.5 x 1523 x 1023 x 9 + 1/2 It really blows me away to see it total like that and I am sure I'll think so for a while!

CB3 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Today's work out was legs. I did short myself one exercise but I kind of ran out of time.... Squats; I really thought I could do more then 10 reps but didn't for fear of lowering myself onto the toilette seat tomorrow, or hurting my back...mostly its the latter. (total weight moved 5060!!!) wow.88 x 20 warm up 110 x 10110 x 10110 x 10 PR! Deadlifts; again I thought I could have done more reps or more weight or something but didn't want to "push it" too much.(Total weight 3700 lbs) not as impressive but I did super set them since my time limit was low.100 x 15110 x 10110 x 10 PR! Total weightage moved 8760! and that is with no leg curls, so not bad! Quote CB3 Warrior Status Battle Log "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide.

CB3 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I really had little energy for this workout though it came out beautifully. I think, anyway. Lat Pulldown (4200 lbs)60 x 20100 x 10100 x 10100 x 10 PR! ( the last one was difficult here so I think I'll stay here till its easy) Bicep curls (888 each side; 1776 total)18.5 x 12 R and 18.5 x 15 L 18.5 x 12 18.5 x 9 Its odd how was so much stronger my left arm was to start with and my right the second set was a struggle but I managed it. One Arm Rows ( 1020 each side; 2040 total)23 x 20 33 x 12 33 x 8 (I had to rush through this set other wise I think I would have pushed 10 to 12 reps, though in hindsight I probably could have pushed the extra few minutes.) 8016 total poundage!

CB3 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Today I did legs and I am finding that I am running out of time, I need to find an extra 10 minutes or so. Then I could get my third set of exercises in. I really think I could lift more weight if I had more time or maybe I should with less reps. Oh well, something is better than nothing. Total weight moved 9790 lbs (ok I guess that is more than something) Deadlifts (5830 lbs total)88 x 20 110 x 15 121 x 10 121 x 10 PR Squats (3960 lbs total) 88 x 20110 x 10110 x 10 Quote CB3 Warrior Status Battle Log "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide.
