Hello everyone. I?m here to try this again. Hopefully this time I won?t step on anyone else’s name or tag (sorry Jag). It’s been about six months since I’ve logged any progress or the lack there of. Now it’s time to get busy.
In the last six months I’ve not done much. Most of workouts took place at my worksite gym. With all the lay offs still going on in the technology sector my site was hit again. They just keep outsourcing, off shoring, or just eliminating the jobs altogether. There?s just a few of us left now. I feel like Star Trek’s Dr. Crusher in episode “Remember Me”–my world keeps getting smaller and soon only I’m left. With the downsizing the site gym was closed. I wish I could use that as an honest excuse but I can?t. The truth is I got lazy. I have some weights, a Smith Machine, and a squat rack at home–they are buried in the basement. With the site gym gone and my stuff buried I found it easier to watch mindless TV. I hate de-junking. And as you can guess it didn’t take long to lose what gains I had made.
Fed up and getting bored I joined local gym–Anytime fitness. Easier than de-junking. It?s open 24/7 so it fits nicely with my overnight/weekend work schedule. And it has all the things I need/want and more. And I got a nice corporate discount. Bottom line. . . .It should help me get back to where I was.
So what are my goals and where am I?
First I want to get back to my personal bests.
Bench 225 lbs
Squat 405 lbs
Deads/SLDL 405 lbs
Pull-ups 20
Push-ups 78
Body Fat 20%
And then improve upon those.
Other goals would include size and endurance.
Neck 17.5"
Chest 49"
Upper Arms 17.5"
Forearm 14.25"
Waist 34"
Thighs 25.5"
Calves 17.25"
Run 3 miles
Bike 2 hrs
So where am I?
Bench 207 lbs
Squat 287 lbs
Deads/SLDL 354 lbs
Body Fat 27%
Push-ups 35
Pull-ups 3
Neck 17"
Chest 47"
Upper Arms 16.5"
Forearm 13.5"
Waist 44"
Thighs 27.5"
Calves 17.25"
OK that’s the direction I’m heading and where I’m at. Some of those things need more work than the others. This quest shall prove me a knave or of something more–may it be something more. Brethren and sistren of iron and weights Godspeed in your quests. Adieu.
