Bvlgari's Crash and Burn Journal

[Bvlgari]

Hey guys!

Figured I'd start my own journal, and you guys could give some objective advice.

Date is 15 August 2004. This morning I ran about 4 miles after a two week break with no running. Before that, about 5 weeks had gone by where I had run at irregular intervals, maybe twice a week. Prior to the summer break, I had run as far as 9 miles. I started running Christmas 2003. I don't ever plan to stop.

Summary of activity done throughout the day:
11.00AM. Apprx. 4 mile run, medium-slow pace. Time unknown.
11.00PM. 60 push-ups. 60 crunches. 15 diamond push-ups. 55 flutterkicks (with a 25 second static hold at 25... repititions are as follows: 1,2,3 (1), 1,2,3 (2) 1,2... etc.). 40 incline push-ups. 30 leg-raises. 6 pull-ups.

Summary of food consumed (my mom makes all the food):
Two bowls of muesli, plus a bowl of yoghurt (raspberry+blackberry flavor). A glass of water.
Two open faced sandwiches with cream cheese, smoked mackrel, tomato, lettuce and rye bread (they were fairly large). Lots of water.
3 cups of tea with milk, plus 6 chocolate chip cookies (small size)
2 glasses of milk.
Bowl of yoghurt (peach-melba).
A fairly large chinese dinner. About three helpings of rice, beef, steamed fish, cantonese chicken. Lots of water.


Best regards,
Moi

Ah... been a while.

on August 17 I did the first day of Jaster's routine. Great fun. But before that, I had been out doing Guerilla Cardio (20 seconds sprint, followed by 10 [long] seconds recovery.

The routine was as follows:

Deadlift with an EZ bar (there is no barbell): Warm-up followed by 7 reps at 80 kilos, next set 8 reps at 80 kilos, and finally 10 reps at 80 kilos.

Bent-over Row with an EZ bar. 8x40 kilos. Then 8x50 kilos. Then 10x50 kilos.

Pull-ups. At this point I had no energy left. 6x65 kilos. 5x65 kilos. 6x65 kilos.

Dumbell Curls. 6x16 kilos each arm. 7x16 kilos each arm. 8x16 kilos each arm.

Hey I'm glad you gave my advice a try!
Keep me posted on how it's working for you.
My advice seems to have helped Firehawk out.

Great I'm happy you worked these in I think they hit the traps in a way no other exercise can!

I think I can do way more than 70. Try for 100 next time.

Forgot the military presses that one time. Tonight, I think I'll go long distance jogging.
