i'm in the same boat as you, i've been neglecting my diet because i've been snowboarding a bunch this year, almost every weekend and sometimes one week night.

you can def. throw more weight on those dips.

Ate like a beast today and felt better for the workout...

Pullups
3 sets of BW x 6
Hung at the bottom so they were all full pull-ups. I'm pretty sore in the core from these too, figure its from the hanging stretch.

Underhand Rows
160 x 6
160 x 6
Solid, more weight next time.

Chest Supported T-Bar Rows
90 x 6, way too easy
115 x 6, better
115 x 8, tough
115 x 6
Never done t-bar rows before, but I really like them.

Finished off with curls, 40's.

Nice to see you eating enough to support the workout. I've tried the snowboarding a bit lately, although I'm a bit too old to be starting something like that. 36 year old bones don't bounce as well as younger ones. I learned pretty quickly not to start out on a steep icy trail where sledding has been the main activity - ouch.

I just saw your bench press post - those look nice. What is a pushdown machine? Is that kind of like doing tricep pushdowns with a lat tower?

And the reason you are sore from the pullups - it's because it's damn hard to grab a bar up over your head and pull your body up over it (that's why so many folks don't do them). Good job there too.

It's a nautilus station where you sit and push down handles on the sides of you...kind of the same motion as a dip, but just isolating the triceps.

And yea that's true, pull-ups are never easy.

I start working out with the rugby team again next week and it's looking pretty intense. You guys will see when I start posting the workouts.

Rugby, isn't that the game that's like tackle soccer where you have to tape up your ears to keep them attached to your head? I'm seriously asking because I may have it mixed up with another sport.

Wanted to do a easy workout today because I had some fitness tests for rugby later on at night. So I just hit the biceps.

EZ-Bar Curls (3 Supersets: grips alternate from outer, middle, inner for each set)
85 x 6 outer
85 x 5 middle
85 x 4 inner

85 x 6 inner
85 x 5 middle
85 x 4 outer

85 x 6 middle
85 x 5 inner
85 x 4 outer

Hammer Curls
35's x 8
35's x 8


Tonight we did a beep test with 8 flights of stairs. You had to go up 8 flights and back down 8 flights for 1 rep. This had to be done in 1:15 or you are out. I managed to get 12 reps.

Nebraska Test (25 meters, down and back 6 times = 300m)
First Attempt: 57 seconds
Second Attempt: 56 seconds
Third Attempt: 1 minute

I'm completely exhausted.

Wednesday
About an hour of full court basketball. Pretty intense, hit a jumper with nine seconds left to bring us within 1, but we didnt have enough time/fouls to get the ball back. Oh well.

Tonight was another very tough rugby workout. This isn't everything, but I'll list a few things that we did...

Walk/Jog/Sprint on the whistles for 15 minutes
30 pushups, 50 crunches, 50 jumping jacks
Bleacher jumps for Intervals (Ranging from 10 secs - 2 minutes)
Wall Sit 2+ minutes
Line Sprints that seemed endless
and a few other things that I forgot

Having some nagging shoulder trouble on the left side. Benching and most pushing movements are uncomfortable. Probably have to take a little break from it.

BB Bench
185 x 5

DB Press
75's x 6
75's x 6

Incline BB
135 x 10
145 x 6

Dips
BW x 10

Tricep Pushdowns
150 x 12
150 x 12
150 x 10
Gonna have to start using the lat tower for pushdowns.

Presses all felt awkward because of the shoulder. I could tell I have more in me if it wasn't for the shoulder holding me back.
