12/10/11

Ok, so I just did the same workout I performed and posted on 12/06/11. This time I did 2 Manmakers within the circuit instead of 1.  Oh My ME did that make a difference!  I just barely made it through 3 rounds. BRUTAL!

Manmaker, Pull-up, Hang Clean Circuit

  • 1 Manmaker
  • 3 Pull-ups (use different hand positions, and add other twists to make it even more challenging)
  • Repeat x5 (Should take 1:45 - 2:15 to complete)
 Rest 1 minute
    • 5 Hang Cleans as heavy as you can do
     Rest 90 seconds
    • Repeat entire sequence 3-5x

    Do 2 Manmakers to significantly increase the intensity as you progress

      Still Hangin and Bangin

      Yeah, it's been a while since I posted here, let alone post consistently. I'm still at it, and I will continue to post when I have time and when I actually think about it.

      Happy Holidays!

      04/23/11 - 04/26/11

      Due to lack of time, I have not been blogging here lately.  I have still been working out like a Primal Animal, but I have not had time to post or mess with fitday.

      Sunday was the beginning of Week 6, and I have stuck to the plan!

      I "may" begin a new Round of INSANITY starting next week. If not, I will start it on Week 10

          Today's Workout: Upper Body
          • Weighted Pull-ups - 1x5 (+50 lb) 
          • Weighted Pull-ups - 4x5 (+55 lb) 
          • Weighted Pull-ups - 2x8 (+25 lb)
          • Bench Press - 3x5

          • Dips 3x10 (BW) --- need to do Weighted Dips next time
          • Hammer Strength Iso High Row - 3x10 (75/side)
          • Hammer Strength Iso Row - 1x8 --- it aggravated my left arm
          • Seated Row 2x10 --- this also aggravated my left arm. 
          • Hammer Strength Shoulder Press 2x10 (45/side)
          I need to find a solution to the Seated Row exercise.  I may have to do it one arm at a time to get the right angle.  If not, I will have to double up on the Iso High Rows.

          Back to being Perfect with Primal eating!

          04/17/11

          Today's Workout: One On One "Fountain of Youth YOGA"

          Suz and I got back from our trip from Harrisburg, Hershey, and Downingtown PA later than expected, so we decided to do Yoga together. GREAT workout!

          I was supposed to do Upper Body (PULL) today, and Upper Body (PUSH) tomorrow, but instead, I will do a complete upper body routine. I'm not sure what just yet...I'll figure that out in the morning.

          Although it seemed like we may have overindulged in good food and drink all weekend,  it was not nearly as bad as I thought; only 133 grams of Carbs on Sat (120 net), and only 90 grams today (82 net). Sure alcohol was present, but I only had 3 drinks Sat and only one today. That will be it for me until next Saturday. I plan on eating extra clean this week!

          Suz and I are heading to Harrisburg PA for the weekend. Lots of eating, drinking and playing will take place - Heehee!!!

          I'll either workout Sunday morning with Suz, or I'll do so when I return Sunday afternoon.

          Good Primal Diet Day, but I did have 8 wings and 2 beers in the evening. I still stayed below 90 grams of carbs...86.4 to be exact, 71.4 NET (fiber taken out), so again, I'll take it. I was in vacation mode in my head...I'm not used to having 2 days off, like I am this Saturday and Sunday, so I started early. Plus, I was hanging with my son, and he appreciates QCB as well.
