Four VB games. About 1.5 hours pretty high intensity. Won all four.
Mon. Oct. 25, 2010
Done as Supersets, 1 minute rest between sets
Flat Bench--12x75, 12x75, 150/7,7,7,6
Seated close grip row--10x90, 10x90, 150/10,10, 7, 5
Feet on bench push-ups--12, 10, 8, 5
Lat Pulldown--110/8,8,7,5
Good workout. Push-ups were to failure every set. Gained a few reps on every exercise, stoked about that.

Re: Ironwill's workout log
I'm good I kinda fell off the edge of the earth for a while (both on this site and in life) But I'm back and in a better place now. I think I just let the stress of job completely get to me. But if feels good to be back How's life in Maine?
Re: Ironwill's workout log
Life is good. Busy as always. Haven't been logging, but have been diong thing in the gym, and on the Volleyball court. Glad to hear your doing better. Stress can be very debilitating.
Re: Ironwill's workout log
Ugh!!!! Did that tape say 36.5" waist........
Well, I knew things in the mirror weren't looking to great, so dug out the tape, and put it around the waist....ouch. That explains a few things. I think "clean bulk" got pretty dirty. Really liked the 34.5" waist I HAD. Anywhooooo......new plan. 2-3 days FB, and 2 days HIIT (once VB reutrns, I'll let that count as an HIIT) Clean up the diet, not necessarily cut calories, but cut the junk.
Sun. Current Weight 193.4-------------Waist 36.5" I spent the Summer at 180, and felt great, had planned to gain a little, but wow, not this much, and not this fast.
VB Championship Game. We were in 1st place all season, and held the torch high to take the Championship in 3 games, in a best 3 out of 5 format.
Mon.
5 min. Warm-up on Elliptical
Flat Bench--65/15,15, WU 135/8,7,6
Seated Row--110,15,15,9
Squat--65/15,15,WU 135/5,5,5
SLDL--65/15,15,15 (Kept these light, as legs, ahhh, didn't care for the Squats, and I didn't want to damage anything)
Mil. Press--65/10,5,6
Lat Pulldown--110/6,6,6
This went pretty well. Followed up with a Protein Shake. This is pretty much the same routine, I had when I started and had good results, though I can't lift the numbers I used to. Maybe that will come back, and I'll lose the Love handles.....

Tues.
10 min. Elliptical (medium speed)
8 sets as follows:
30 seconds--Burpees
90 seconds--Ellip. (slow speed)
5 min. Elliptical (slow speed)
Burpees really get the heart going. Was able to do 10/ 30 sec. at first, but slowed to 8/30 sec. at the end.

Re: Ironwill's workout log
Great to see you back Good luck with the goals! Let me guess, you started eating M&Ms again By the way, great job on the vb championship!
Re: Ironwill's workout log
Thanks, we had a great season, with a fun team. Due to our success our rating will go up so we won't be able to keep this team together. Fortunately, one of our players is having a baby (his wife, that is) so he is taking the Winter season off, so it's worked out we didn't have to boot anyone. Wasn't M&M's, but, I think just allowing the "cheat" meal/drink to happen WAYYYY to often. I think maybe the best approach, is to get the BF (waist) down where I want it, and keep the eating clean with just a small surplus of good calories to just gain lean muscle, if that's possible, without adding the inches to midsection.feelin-great wrote:Great to see you back Good luck with the goals!

1 set of 45 lb. curl, as many as I could get in 30 sec. managed 20 in poor form. Didn’t raise HR enough.
