Ruggedness Training December 122511-123111

This works out nicely. The end of the year coincides with the end of the week. Ruggedness Training continues into 2012 and ends June 18th by which time I should have another theme going... another year long theme Imight add. Hopefully I will have reached some goals and accomplished some fitness feats!!
Oh yes, since my Videos are now linked to You Tube the time line will be out of sync. The vids will come up before the daily diaries.


122511 - Merry Christmas Day 190: 179.5 lbs. after the XMas Eve Fam party, Ate and drank moderately. This could also just be an occasional drop/purge. Still got a week of "Holiday" season to go and then the rest of the winter. Still the set-point goal of 173-178 exists and if I maintain the 175 average I may actually have to try and act/model... more like acting I don't have the bone structure for modeling. I haven't supp'd with protein in he past two days, nor used psyllium husk, or ACV? well maybe only a day or two with out. Little bit of Home Work, shoulders and back stretch.. Note: improve and focus on shoulder isolation push ups... let's go for a solid 25... 5-6 weeks i guess.. ? shoulders take time.

122611 - Day 191 - 181, wt came back, but it seems scale is becoming unreliable, maybe a new one?? 2 mile run 23 mins... 2 mins less than last. seems about right for starting over again. will it do me any good to promise not to stop? It never has before. Power day is in the books... had to make a change and do running up and down steps first w/ 45 lb plate, then deadlifts... went to 295, I'll take my time going to 315, maybe next wednesday, I'll take day after new year's easy, maybe light body work. To round things out:

135 lb clean-n-jacks very low reps, like 4.. 3 sets tho. This is max weight, from here i increase reps.
thrusters, 25s and 2.5s was too much, had to lose the "pennies" plus was already fatigued and right shoulder played up.
DB swings - 1 set w/ 50, 2 with 60. 69 is max for now... just do more reps.
jumping squats.. 50s... easy does it... more reps/
split leg plyo leg press to leg press to plyo 2-leg press... circuit.
Leg extensions
Stretch things out.
By the end I was worn out. I did get through the process rather quickly, very little socializing.

122711 - Day 192 181 - seems like it should be a milestone, but it's not. Home work, stretch and shoulder push ups, i can feel the strength coming in shoulders and upper back, also balance. Just kind of lazed it. I expect to rise and swim tomorrow early. Bowling counts as a workout.. i'll feel it in the morning.

122811 - Day 193 - woke up (181) ran 2 miles 25 mins... ab work, elim - new wt. 179.5. I may have to run every day just to maintain this. Body wt workout - Ate at Ruby Tuesday's. Body Wt work is no joke, only need/ can take about a hour of that anyway. Ha ha, maybe punch it up as i progress.

122911 - Day 194 - 180 - Cheat day, did some early morning stretch, walked to do errands, meal with Yaya, drinks with Sheyna, Haji, KMA & Mo... et al... Early work tomorrow. Lift therapy, go lighter, well maybe heavy legs.

123011 Day 195 - 181 Lift Therapy.. go early.. (earlier than usual) Then what?? Oh yeah, went dancing Body Rock! Dancing counts!!

123111- Day 196 - Rolled out with the Lama, Danced on the sidewalk at a NYE party, and drank with the Fram. Didn't bother with weighing in today... but it's on the chart...
