Commodore_Clement's battlelog: The Fitness Times

[Guest asdf]

So I'm starting a a new battle log. At this point I have way to many from starting and stopping. But I plan to make this one last. I'm getting back into working out, and now it is time to start logging my results.

 

Today's workout 

 

Various types of pushups(all with feet raised 6 inches):

regular pushups: 10 

Military press pushups: 10

Diamond Pushups:10 

Dips: 6

 

Total pushups: 36

 

Various types of pullups(all the way up, way a second, all the way down)

wide grip: 4

close grip: 4

regular grip: 4

regular grip set#2: 4

 

Total pullups: 16

 

I'm declaring this my upper body strength base level. 

Lower body base strength level comes tomorrow.

A few workout rules I want to enforce on myself:

 

1. During every workout I need to either match the previous workout for reps in all exercises and sets, or surpass by a little bit. 

2. If I do surpass a workout, that becomes the new minimum to reach. 

3. Don't be stupid when it comes to surpassing previous workouts. It doesn't have to be every time.

Today's workout- Same as last week

 

Various types of pushups(all with feet raised 6 inches):

regular pushups: 10 

Military press pushups: 10

Diamond Pushups:10 

Dips: 6

 

Thoughts: The military press is currently the hardest pushup for me to do. It always has been. I need to spend more time working on perfecting it. I think it is really important for general shoulder development.

 

Total pushups: 36

 

Various types of pullups(all the way up, way a second, all the way down)

wide grip: 4

close grip: 4

regular grip: 4

regular grip set#2: 4

Thoughts: It's frustrating having to do pullups off of a door. I wish I had an actual bar for it.

Total pullups: 16

Today's Workout

 

Legs basics. Very short and simple. Nothing spectacular today.

 

Squats: 10 

Forward lunges: 10 each leg

Backward lunges: 10 each leg

 

It was nothing special, but it is a starting point to build on for now. Next time I will do the same, and after that I'll start adding in more sets on the legs.

 

Added bonus: I don't do many pull me ups off of a table or anything, so I did 10 reps of that as well.

Today's workout

 

Pullups: 20

Shoulder lifts with guitar amp: 3 sets 8 reps each

 

Today's workout was especially light, but I did decide to increase the number of pull ups I have to do every time. The amp weighs probably around 8 pounds which isn't very heavy, but I was looking for a place to start with doing some weigh lifts since I don't have any fitness free weights.

Today's Workout

 

Legs

 

Squats: 3 sets of 10

Forward lunges: 2 sets of 10

Backward lunges: 2 sets of 10

 

My previous leg workout this week seemed a little bit too minimalistic, so I decided to do more sets. I'm still working up the intensity on my workouts so I'm not too worried about the number of reps having been less than what I used to do.

Week 4- I will make it better than week 3

 

Today's workout

Core and upper body

 

pullups: 4 sets of 6 reps(originally did only 3 sets but then realized I had to do a 4 in order to make sure I wasn't doing less reps than the previous time I did pull ups close to 3 weeks ago)

planks: 3 sets of 30 seconds

pushups: 2 sets of 10 reps(close & wide grip), 1 set of 6 reps with 2 additional negatives(unassisted dips)

 

Pushing to the limits. Every time.

Just realized I forgot to do core this past friday. I'll have to do that tomorrow. Today I'll do legs.
