Day 95

1st day of Starting Strength and it was actually really easy. I've got a nice little workout to do 3 days a week that will hopefully drastically increase my lifts and help me pack on the pounds! It is less weight than what I was doing before, but then again I am starting a new program so its probably smart to decrease the lifts in the beginning. Here's what did:

Squats:
105 lbs--3 sets, 5 reps

Bench Press:
30 lbs--3 sets, 5 reps

Overhead Press:
30lbs--3 sets, 5 reps

Chin Ups:
4 for 3 sets

Ha ha ha! Chip ups are definitely not my strong point but it will have to do for now. I'm hoping that one will increase greatly over time.

Day 92=3 Months!

Alright so I took a few weeks off to recover from sickness, to enjoy the stay of my best friend from Buffalo, and to relax over Thanksgiving break. This is my three month mark and I have no photos to show for it...maybe in the next few days I will have things up and running again since I broke my camera at the bar. I start up again on Tuesday with a new work out thanks to Seanny. We'll see how it goes. I'm kind of looking forward to trying something new and yet slightly dreading it at the same time. Ahhh Oh well should go great!!

Day 76

I haven't lifted at all this week. I feel slightly slacker-ish but some weirddddd stuff was going on. Awkward pain in my groin area was just not letting me have it. Good news is that it finally let up this evening after a few days of dealing with it. Saturday I should be back on track!

Day 71

No lifting today! Instead, a good few hours of boarding!!! Copper Mountain opened on Friday, so we decided to get up there Saturday morning and enjoy the snow! Here are some pics!

Also, a friend suggests I move to Starting Strength so after I get more info off of him, I might move to it. We will see. Had such a great first day of skiing!!! :)

Day 69

So cool news! Copper opens tomorrow! I will be boarding by Saturday!!! Ahhhh I'm so excited!

Oh and here's what I lifted tonight: 

Squats:

45 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

55 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

65 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

75 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

85 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

95 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

105 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

115 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

125 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

135 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

145 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

155 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

165 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

175 lbs--3 sets, 5 reps

Leg Extensions:

Lat Pull Downs:

80 lbs--4 sets, 15 reps

Bench Press:

30 lbs--4 sets, 15 reps

Crunches:

4 sets, 25 reps

Changes will probably be coming by Saturday...or maybe a different day. Now that ski season is here, my workout days me need some revising.

Day 67

I was unable to move up to 155 today with the back squats due to lack of energy or something. Something was definitely off, thats all I know. My roommate is also battling a cold and I think my body is doing anything and everything to stay healthy. I ended up coming home and taking a 2+ hour nap this afternoon after about 10 hours of sleep the night before, so I'm praying I don't get that cold! Here's what I was able to do tonight:

Squats:

45 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

55 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

65 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

75 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

85 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

95 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

105 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

115 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

125 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

135 lbs--1 set, 5 reps

145 lbs--3 sets, 5 reps

Leg Extensions:

60 lbs--4 sets, 15 reps

Lat Pull Downs:

80 lbs--4 sets, 15 reps

Bench Press:

30 lbs--4 sets, 15 reps

Crunches:

4 sets, 25 reps

I did decide to move up the weight on the leg extensions, which was actually an easy increase, even with a severe lack of energy. But I'm going to down a protein shake, do a little more studying and then hit the hay so that I can stay good and healthy!
