Biceps, Back, Legs, and 2 Hard Miles

I hit the gym at lunch time today for a quality workout. I did hammer curls with 25-30-35, then did "sevens" bicep curls on the cable crossover machine at 40-50-60. I then did sitting curls with the long bar of 50-60-70. Then I did back extensions, then squats of 90-180-270-360. 360 pounds was rough, but felt terrific. I then went upstairs and ran 2 hard miles in 15:03.

Weight = 173

40 Minutes of Men's Indoor Soccer

Drove out to Northboro tonight to play for Spartak in the Men's Indoor Soccer League. We completely outplayed the other team and ended up winning 14-2, raising our team record to 6-0. I scored 1 goal and had 4 assists. Very tiring cardio workout for about 40 minutes. Special thanks to my dad for coming to watch.

Early Morning Chest Workout

For the first time in a few weeks I was able to rise at 6am and hit the gym by 7am for an early morning workout. With the extra time I jumped on the elliptical machine for a mile 10:00. I then stretched a bit, then went straight to the bench. Yeah yeah, usually I finish my day with bench but I changed up the routine a bit today to keep things fresh. I lifted 110, 130, 140 with reps of 15-12-10. I then did cable crossovers at the high, med, and low positions of 20-30. I then did dumb bell press of 40, 45, 50 with reps of 12-10-8. Next I hit the chest press machine for 80-95-110. Lastly, I hit the fly machine for 25-37.5-37.5 with reps of 10-8-6.

I was definitely tired this morning, but nonetheless I showed up and did the work.

Weight = 174 (8 pounds heavier than November 20th, when my skinny ass ran the Philly Marathon. Definitely feel healthier and a ton stronger than I did back then. My target is to stay under 178, yet still develop my muscles, keeping in mind that muscles weigh more than fat)

Shoulders Hard

I was angry today, which helps immensely when lifting. I was lifting hard because of some bad news, yet I know I did not overdo it. I basically did all of my usual shoulder exercises with the exception of shurgs, because I was running short on time. It was pretty good workout and one that was much needed after getting zero exercise this weekend.
