Skigh's War Journal

[Skigh]

I waged war tonight and came out the victor! 3 circuits of bbww

 

3 x 20 squats

3 x 15 pushups

3 x 20 lunges

3 x 30 second plank

3 x 20 weighted jumping jacks (i dropped this down for the sake of pacing myself)

 

I'm dead tired. good night.

Awesome work Skigh, you rock!

[Thom Stépan]

It is good to see you back!

Just remember work at creating the routines, the numbers will take care of themselves.

You can win the war.

Thanks guys!

 

I was hoping to go running today but went and helped a neighbor pack up their house and move. I wasn't aware that this neighbor was some kind of geologist. So the entire time I was there I was moving giant crates full of rocks. That's all I did. Moved rocks. You can imagine my surprise. And my workout!

[SevenofSeven]

Hahaha, lift all the rocks!

Got two circuits in today. Basketball was cancelled so I was pRobably going to not work out at all. I did work out but it was after a heavy dinner. My stomach started hurting and I was drained after two. Better than nothing.

I'm not doing any formal challenge but today I did start what I hope is the beginning of a great habit. Before I even went home I went to the gym. No room for distractions. Dedicated time for me to do whatever workout I want. This is something I hope to do 4 or 5 days a week. Can't do circuits on workout equipment since it gets taken almost as soon as you walk away, so I decided to do each workout as close to the bbww as I could. Which resulted in:

 

Interval running 10 Min (while watching Man of Steel on my phone)

3 x 10 Leg press (150 lb)

3 x 10 Shoulder press (150? or 100 lb). Can't remember.

3 x 10 calf extension (100 lb)   (not sure what to use to work what lunges would work)

Few minutes of an ab machine

 

I called it good after that. Just realizing I forgot dumbbell rows. And there wasn't any room to throw in some jumping jacks. I'll have to work it out. But if I do this 4 or 5 times a week. That is great!

 

Hope all of my NF friends are doing well.

I just did interval running on a treadmill for an episode of Parks & Rec. 1.57 miles in 25:40. I hurt and it feels good.

[Skigh]

Hooray for weight training while still sore!

 

5 min interval warm up on treadmill

3 x 10 leg extension 100 lb

3 x 10 chest press 80 lb

3 x 20 lunges

2 x 10 + 1 x 5 pull ups 120 lb (my weight of 220 - 100 lb assisted by the machine)

 

I think I gave my muscles plenty to think about for a few days. My triceps had so much to think about that I could not reach the back of my neck after this workout. Must be doing something right.

Wasn't able to go to the gym Thursday or Friday. But I do intend to keep going. I ought to be able to go quite consistently Mon-Wed. Which would be great. I am still sore from working out this week though. I'll take that as good news
