Xena Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 it's only Wednesday...if you could sneak in a short workout of some sort this week and then set aside some time on the weekend, you'd be doing pretty good. Good luck with your crazy week! Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to post
Kishi Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I feel you on that office struggle now. Hang in there! Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to post
ladylydia Posted July 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Alright, I'll admit it, this whole past week was a bust. Between my office manager being sick most of the week, making things crazy; and my brother's car being in the shop, making me his ride everywhere. I didn't get to the gym once. I would manage a few meandering squats or leg lifts occasionally. But otherwise, nothing of great fitness value happened. This week will be better, I walked two miles today to be sure of it.

Kishi Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 These weeks, they happen. As long as they don't become normal, it'll be no trouble, right? Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to post
ladylydia Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Ah, back at the gym today. I was in a bit of a rush, so I forgot to warm up, it didn't seem to hurt much. I may want to play a bit with cold starts, at least during the summer. Tried something a bit different. Instead of doing three sets per weight for one type of dead-lift, i did two sets of both conventional and RDL. That way they can both grow. Dead lifts: (2 sets RDLs, 2 sets conventional) 4x5--110 lbs, 4x3-- 120 lbs 4x1-130 lbs, last set 3 OHP: 3x5- 50 lbs 3x3-55 lbs 3x1-65 lbs, last set 5. 3x10 inverted sit ups. Yoga.

Kishi Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Nice! Way to get out and on your own! 1 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to post
ladylydia Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Whew, long day. Squats and Bench press. You know i switched up my normal combinations because both PTs said to, but I am just no liking these combos as well. They are not very comfortable, my back feels pinched during the second workout and the recovery process feels longer. I think I'm going to switch back for a month and see how i feel. Squats: 3x5-80 lbs 3x3-90 lbs 3x1-100 lbs Bench: 3x5-80 lbs 3x3-90 lbs 3x1-100 lbs. 15 hanging knee tucks. My new house has a counter tops with right angles in the kitchen. The last time i had a kitchen that did that I practiced tricep dips and leg raises while my food cooked and i got really good at it. Now I can practice again. 4 Quote Level 17 Ranger Monk Str- 10, Dex-8, Sta-7, Con-11, Wis-68, Cha-43 "Not all who wander are lost."

Kishi Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I do the exact same thing for dips when I have to practice at home. It's perfect for that kind of work! 1 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to post
Xena Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 So excited for you about the new house! Will be so great for you to be able to prepare your own food! Close to work and the gym? Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to post

Kishi Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 So... how did it end up for you? Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to post
ladylydia Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Ok, I moved, have internet and am finally caught up to the point that I can write a wrap up. The challenge was started a bit rocky, week three didn't happen at all. But weeks two and four were strong. I didn't do much cardio, but my lifts have been on target for the month. I found a house close to work so my commute has gone from 50 minutes, down to 2 min. It's wonderful. Despite having to take a week off and neglecting cardio, I feel pretty good about the challenge in general; everything was a major step in the right direction, so i give the challenge a B. In case you haven't found it yet: the new challenge is over here. Quote Level 17 Ranger Monk Str- 10, Dex-8, Sta-7, Con-11, Wis-68, Cha-43 "Not all who wander are lost."
