Notes: Felt weak today. I guess 10 days without weight training really does have a pretty significant impact. I'm looking to be back on track within a week or 2, so I won't let this keep me down. Plus without a spot, I couldn't push myself harder than I did. |
Welcome back, gcs. Definitely take it slow and ease into your previous lifts. Sounds like you didn't get a lot to eat on your trip. Did you lose weight?

I'm trying to ease back into lifting while still lifting heavy, I guess we'll see how that works out. Definitely did not eat much on the trip. I lost a good 3-5 pounds easy. Shouldn't have trouble gaining it back now that I'm home though  |

LEGS, Tuesday, July 27, 2004
Squat 6 x 180 lbs, 6 x 190 lbs, 6 x 200 lbs
Calf Raises 15 x 165 lbs, 15 x 175 lbs, 15 x 185 lbs
Good Mornings 6 x 85 lbs, 6 x 95 lbs, 6 x 105 lbs
Wall Sit 1 minute
Notes: Great workout. First time doing Good Mornings and they were pretty enjoyable. The weight was lighter so I could focus on form more so. I love the feeling of moving from heavy squats or calf raises to the light 85 lbs of Good Mornings  |

BACK/SHOULDERS, Wednesday, July 28, 2004
Deadlift 6 x 190 lbs, 6 x 200 lbs, 6 x 210 lbs
Bent Over Rows 6 x 95 lbs, 6 x 105 lbs, 6 x 115 lbs
Dumbbell One Arm Side Lateral 6 x 15 lbs, 4 x 20 lbs, 6 x 15 lbs
Pull Ups 9, 5, 4
Front Dumbbell Raise 6 x 15 lbs, 6 x 20 lbs, 6 x 15 lbs
Notes: Wow deadlift is getting heavy. Had to take off my lifting gloves to get a better grip on the darn thing. Much easier then to hold. Also repositioned my feet making it easier as well, a couple inches further back. All the dumbbell work is usually higher, I dunno what the deal is, but I'm glad my dead is improving so that kinda evens things out.

Yah - grip has become an issue with me, too. I actually just started using gloves becuase (look away if you are squeamish) when I was pulling 265, the bar slipped a bit and tore calluses on both my hands. Talk about ugly. Hands were aching for days!
You could try hooks. I think Firehawk uses them and he swears by them. |

Andrea - thanks!
Klinger - I plan only to resort to hooks or straps or whatever only when it becomes absolutely necessary. Trying to stay "natural" I guess with no aids like that for as long as I can.

Running
I went running today. Finally got around to it. I did a warm up, stretch, mile run, cool down, stretch. My mile time pissed me off. A lot. I know I haven't ran in 2 months, I'm a sprinter not a distance runner, my hams still were very sore from deads, and this indoor track sucks...so those are my excuses.
With that said, I ran a 6:18.75 mile. ****ty. Give me an outdoor track and fresh legs and I'll break 6. Pissed me off, but oh well. I have my excuses

Yeah I ran for 4 years. At the beginning of senior year I was under 6 minutes. I was hoping that the 4-5 months of training would have lasted longer than a few months past the conclusion of the season. Oh well...always next time. |

Hey, don't be discouraged. When you're running that fast, the body doesn't differentiate between a few seconds either way. It just knows it got a hard enough push to ramp up the old furnace.
If you were a sprinter, you might like HIIT at the track - sprint half a lap, jog half a lap, and so on.
Sometimes (not often) my entire running workout consists of 100-yard dashes. Stretch, short warmup, then run like you're being chased 8-12 times. Really wipes me out. |

Yeah we definitely did some HIIT in track...I hate it! It's a nightmare. I remember one of the worst days was one 100, jog 400m, two 90s, jog 400m, three 80s, jog 400m, all the way down to ten 10s. I was about ready to kill somebody. No rest between sprints except to regroup and line up.
