blerg ... ok, after my stop starts i dont give a flying fuck attitude of the past 2 months
past 3 days .... my usual 10kg
12 rep squat plus lunge x 3 sets
12 rep overhead plus extension x 3 sets - fuck i hate those :x
12 rep crunchs plus obliques x 3 sets
then 20 mins on the elliptical - i dont know what it is about mine, but geez it makes me sweat.
every other day i swap the overheads for bent over rows plus standing overheads for the back, and the elliptical for a 4km walk (god forbid which just undoes me - walking being the incredibly hard exercise it is!!!! :P )
i dont feel too bad either - i was a little bit stiff after the sadist donjon dragged me to the gym on saturday, but other than that ive been ok.
and interestingly, given the fact that ive lived on beer, bourbon and strongbows for the past two weeks prior .... last night i got the kids takeaway for tea since riley goes to guitar practice in the next town over - they had fried chicken & chips. i ate a peice of their chicken and honestly felt sick. i guess we actually didnt eat too badly, and mostly i ate grilled seafood or eggs, so my tummy sort of protested against the deep fry .... :shock: my biggest challenge tho, will be the 2 nice big bottles of bourbon beckoning to me from the kitchen pantry. if i keep the door shut, it muffles them just a bit.
now if i dont post in this thread at least every 3rd day with this, i want someone to start a zenith is a lazy procrastinating little shithead thread and make horrible jokes about me in it - i might not have a pt in this bumfuck town, but i do spend enough time on here to not want that to happen

Two days in a row and Im feelin pretty ordinary :twisted:
10x 80kg deadlifts
500m row sprint (under 1.50m)
Did 5 sets and had a 3 min break between sets. (This is coming from someone who never breaks!) and I still struggled.
Lost 50% of fitness hands down in 3.5 weeks. The boys reckon even as bad as 70%.
Got a 40km race in March that involves mud running, kayaking and mountain running and Im in a team of 4 with trainers from gym....me have some serious work to do over chrissy but wil all be fun
10kg squat plus lunge x 3 sets
10kg bent over rows plus standing overheads x 3 sets

plus a 5 km hot shoe shuffle .... and i sweated bucketfuls since there is a big arsed storm brewing up here and its muggy as hell
except swap the rows for overhead plus extensions torture session
and 6km in 20mins on the elliptical instead of the walk
hey donjon whats the thing in march for?? some boorowa girls are going to some thing in sydney or thereabouts in march that involves some huge run with a team - raises money for the fred hollows foundation??
6km in 20mins !?!?!?! Did you have a rocket up your arse Zenith?
Not sure if its the Fred Hollows thing but Ill find out for you. All I know its hiking, kayaking etc out near Wisemans Ferry and Ive been told to get fit again in order to not let the team down :?
Slight improvement today....didnt feel as bad as previous but still way outta form.
800m run
20 burpees
20 sit ups
600m run
15 burpees
15 sit ups
400m run

6km in 20mins !?!?!?! Did you have a rocket up your arse Zenith?
no, i had a pj boot blasting from the speakers. and im a stubbon little shithead :roll: now all i have to do is keep it rolling
Thats Olympic speed or faster Ive done 4km in just under 20 - mind you running aint my forte but 3.20 a km...thats about 18 on the treadmill . I dont think the dial goes that high
Good to see you are back into it tho. Im struggling and for once in my life not looking forward to going to the gym but that'll change.
Remind me to find out about March event next week too
*shrug* the speed was sitting about 17-18 most of the time. dont forget, this is only a cross trainer. no real resistance. youre just air running. put me on the ground and id be lucky to do 1 km at a run, i hate running. plus i had the resistance level set fairly low. ill bump that up more once i get my cardio levels up a bit again, so all its doing atm is getting the heart rate up.

I have gained 5 lbs since I started working out 2 weeks ago... I've heard before that will happen during the first few weeks (not really sure why). But I have gone down a pant size as the fat/soft center slowly moves upward to become muscle.
I feel so much better, sleep better, and remember why I used to work out religiously 5x a week!
Does anyone do the "300" workout or similar? It is a short/intense full-body workout that is (or was, anyway) all the rage and apparently gets good results.
Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.

its a little too much for me at the moment struggled to about 60 reps over 4 different excercises yesterday.
todays workout for me was quite lame
all i did was a 45 minute walk, as i am little sore in the back and shoulders from yesterday. Damm I am going to miss this when my PT leaves next week
