El Guapo 8 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well I put Jeans on for the first time in probably 6 months, I could barely keep them on. I put on my belt that I wear with my Jeans and I went to the smallest notch. 5 more pounds and that belt and Jeans won't fit any more.My back is starting to fell better, so I hope by the end of the week I can start working out again.

dolfan 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I took the week off since I was feeling sick and nursing a muscle strain.YOU SLACKERS BETTER HAVE A BETTER REASONS THEN THAT!Ran Monday, started the 100 push-up program Tuesday, ran yesterday. Day 2 of the push-up program will be done tonight. I've got a long way to go to get back to where I was at with running earlier this year, but my main goal again is going to be cutting my time down in the Bolder Boulder 10k on Memorial Day. Considering that I'm starting in October this year (vs. January last time), I should be in much better shape by May of next year. Anyone know of a secret potion that can keep me motivated to do ab workouts.? I'm not sure why, but they're my least favorite workouts and I never stick to them for more than a week or two.

Suited_Up 2 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Just finished day 1 of week 3 of the pushup program.Amazing how far I have come in 2 weeks.This last weekend was nuts for me, so I didn't do the exact program, but I did do a couple sets of pushups anyway. I tested what I could do the other day when I was tilted during a poker session. I did about 16, and could maybe do a couple more if I tried. Which put me right into the first column for week 3, so I started that today. But to gain at least 10 to my max in 6 sessions is pretty nice. Link to post Share on other sites

dolfan 0 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Just finished day 1 of week 3 of the pushup program.But to gain at least 10 to my max in 6 sessions is pretty nice.That's a pretty good jump. I did Day 1 of Week 2 yesterday. Judging by how much I struggled toward the end, I'm assuming I'll have to move down a level eventually. I just don't think I can keep increasing at this rate. But so far, so good. I've been going to the gym fairly often the past two weeks and am hoping to be back into "regular" mode starting next week. One huge deterrent right now is that the gym is being renovated so it's about half the size as usual. Obviously, they removed some equipment but they still have way more packed into half of it than they should. It makes it super-crowded and busy all the time. Also, the parking lot outside is a staging area for construction so parking is even a pain in the ass now. Since I'm lazy, I'm hoping these things don't annoy me to the point of me using them as an excuse not to go. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I still have yet to get my ass into the actual gym in quite awhile.... But I think I'll start today.I weighed myself the other day, and it's not pretty. Link to post Share on other sites

CardWarfare 4 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've been going to the gym almost everyday for about 3 weeks now. I took yesterday off and feel like a fat fuck now because of it. I'll be going again tonight to do back and probably an hour of cardio.My goal is to get "addicted" to going to the gym, where I have to go no matter how tired I am. I'm starting to get like that already, but I need to maintain it over a long period of time.My eating has been good, and I decided if I'm not in significantly better shape (more muscle, much less fat) by late winter/early spring, with the amount of work I've been putting in at the gym, I'm just going to either take steriods or kill myself.

dapokerbum 0 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Wait, you have a wife night only once every two weeks?Do you have a book or manual that I could purchase?Well technically Monday and Tuesday and Friday are also wife nights ... they just happen to be after the gym. The wednesday night is her the entire night! Also, we usually go to see friends on Saturday night and might get an afternoon hike on sunday.... so No you don't want to purchase any book that I am selling. I'm just as wife whipped as any married person. Link to post Share on other sites

Giggidy 0 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Started doing this today. It's not a workout program, but should help to get a little strength back. I could only do like 5 pushups in the first test. It's sad how weak I've gotten.http://hundredpushups.com/ Gonna give this a shot, cheers for the link - I used to hammer pushups as i really love em. I used to do sets of 50, but dont reckon i ever did more than 65 to fail, so 100's a damn hard target imo, should be a good goal to try for.Not posted in this thread for ages as i've done slightly more than a gnats cock of exercise. Still travelling back and to for work, so i cba joining a gym as they usually want a years membership. Hopefully i bag a long term job soon as i'm gagging to get back into a routine again Link to post Share on other sites
