Ruggedness Training December 120411-121011

120411: Day 169 - 184.5 This was an unusual day as days go. 550 push ups and 2ankwts work - sat in a Personal Trainer class all day, got some good info, learned a bit more than last time, it's been 6 years.. OY!! Not sure of my wt off hand, at one point I was 184.5 but that's not what i recorded... just as a note my body wt fluctuates 2-3.5 lbs during any given day, I'm sure it's a combination of food, liquid and activity. The class was good for me to refocus and perhaps re-establish my goals, while staying on track. I need to combo swimming with running, I usually have some energy left even after the mile swim. So let's plan on that and some outdoor work... maybe I don't have to run the whole course every time.. and yeah, get more rest.

120511: 181.5 Day 170 - Amazingly good sleep, gonna have to do this more often. I see less socializing in my future. So got up swam a mile - no time to brag about. Ran a mile, walked a half mile, biked for 15 mins around 75-80 rpm steady increasing levels. Leg extensions and leg curls. Food shopping and a nap at 11 ish, then Guts and Butts..

120611: 181.5 Day 171 wonder if i'm on a different plateau now... one that 1.5 lbs less than the last one. push ups (80+30) got 300 before going to Temple. Good PUMPED class, no shows at Aqua Box.. ok, 500 done.. call it a day.. not too bad.

120711: 181.5 Day 172 - 10 days til measurements. 850 push ups... rash came back and subsided on rt middle finger, allergic reaction to salmon salad at DH??

120811: 184 Day 173 - 140 push ups seems lame, but still.. Home workout (2ankwts and all the ab stuff and leg stuff) Functional Fitness at the Y - More of a wt training workout which is what I think I'm going to switch it up to, as well as PUMPED. We'll do 2 minute drills for 5 rounds then the workout.
The rash subsided and I wonder if it was an allergeic reaction or toxins in the body.
This week's diet consisted of a lot of meat, ox tail and goat, potatoes (in crock pot) pepperoni and cheese at work, avocados and tomatoes. Get the sniffles when I go outside. Fighting it of course.

120911 Day 174 -- 181 Return of the weekend drop. Lift therapy at the Y. Imisu say I felt weak but felt stronger towards the end.
Round 1: 3 rotations work til failure of 10-12 reps
Smith Squats no cable 185
DB press 85s (those suckers felt heavy, thought I might try the 100s... nope!)
Wide grip pull ups - as high as I can go
Leg raises on dip bar
EZ Bar curls - this is the only station where I progressed - gunz are blazin'!! LOL

Round 2:
Single leg press (Smith) 45s-+20s
T-Bar row: 90 lbs
Shin Flex (60s)
Flips - upper body felt worked abs felt weak
Close grip press - felt strong here and progressed

Round 3:
Leg Extensions (single-single-double) 3X
Lat pull downs Progressive but felt weak
Peck Deck - this was strong progressive.
Long (str8) are pull downs.

Round 4: Yoga stretch - Pretty good workout week.


121011 181 Day 175 - Got an amazing amount of sleep last night, guess the body needed it. Hope it's caught up. Plan for the day, some home work, maybe balance and swimming at the Y, maybe a post swim run. OOOOps no swimming at the Y - Swim meet again today. Oh well... tomorrow then.
