121811 - Day 183 - 180.5 Woke up with a slight headache today, maybe the rum, or the coke?? who knows?? Feeling sluggish and thinking it's a good thing I don't have a workout planned... it's massage day. I looked at the goal of this Ruggedness thing and it says to exercise outside - well recently that has not been the case. It hasn't been THAT cold... I imagine exercising outside, just don't do it as much as I'd envisioned. Maybe that will change. Even if I go out and do a few pull ups etc. It will (might) ease me into it. heck of a time to decide to start this though. Thinking I should add more update pix to this page. Don't know why I don't feel like taking self portraits anymore. This time last year I was filming exercise vlogs... maybe I'll post one from last year.
121911 - Day 184: woke at 182.5, post elim 181. Most of my weight over 180 these days is food and liquid. Safe to say the set point has been reset to 180, let's try a notch down a few pounds. Took HR at work 63 bpm. Not bad.
The Wake Up Stretch is a work in Progress - today it lasted about 30-40 minutes followed by a power day at the gym. I'm not sure I want to detail the enire stretch routine at this point. It's in the book so it IS recorded. I will detail Power Lift Day, b/c i made some weight gains.
Deadlift - repped up to 275.
Clean and Jack - 120 max
Run up/down steps 35 n 45 (this was exhausting)
Thrusters 25s each.
DB swings 60 lbs
Jump Squats 45s
Leg Extensions
Leg Curls
- - - Didn't get o do plyo leg press.. Oh well..
122011 - Day 185 180 lbs. 1+ hr. Stretch routine and home work with 2ankle wts etc. Duck for Dinner.
12211 - Day 186 - I'm officially past the half way point with Ruggedness and getting more into body weight training... First day with the USA Protege.... straps for body wt training, as well as jumping, shadow kick boxing - all that stuff.. It wore me OUT!!! This was no joke. Polished up the flips, they are now flips, inverted pull ups and I have to say I do feel stronger. Feeling the "soreness" in different parts of the core.
122211 Day 187 - 181.5 ran the parkway today 2 miles in 25 minutes!! but my knee did hurt, i felt it, or should I say I was aware of it. Then did some improv stretches focusing on opening the lower back... much twisting, very little balance 3 ankle wts.. a bit ridiculous but I wanted to see if i could move them... I did.
122311 - Day 188 - 182: the weight's been easing upwards, but I'm not worried. keeping up the Ruggedness! Lift Therapy at the Y.. will detail later. Honestly felt weak so went heavy with low reps. Need to rearrange schedule during my GX vacation. Blast off with Power on Monday, Body weight on Wednesday, light but intense on Fridays. Tuesday and Thursdays run or home work or do something outside. Really need push up the cardio!!
Round I
Smith Squats, progressive, low reps: 135-225-275 (more like 1/2 squats)
Shin Flex (60s)
DB press - 90s (hard, esp 1st rep)
Wide pull ups (going high!!)
EZ curls - 35s
Round 2
Incline DB Press
Close Grip barbell press (145) Had trouble with centering.
Concentration Curl 30 & 35
Wrist Curls
Can't recall the 5th exercise... I really was tired but pushed through.
Round 3 - was simple
Lats pull downs
Str8 arm tri pull downs.
Not sure whether I ran out of steam, energy or desire. In any case working to fatigue is what I want, right?
122411- Day 189 - 182 lbs. Christmas eve. I determined not to go over 183 between these last two weeks of December, but I'm on the edge now... (maybe it was 185) but I want to keep my set point between 180 and 183 then push it down on the other side. Probably won't do much in exercise today. Got chores to do. It's hard for me not to exercise, but I know my bod can use the break.
