No, I really like my car actually. I'm sure none of you States folk will buy it because they're much cheaper down there for whatever reason (as are most vehicles). It's a very fast car (291HP, AWD, 0-60 in 4.9s) and handles likes it on rails. It's unstoppable with winter tires. Despite all that... I am looking to potentially buy a house and I just don't have the income to keep a $40k car and buy a house. So I'm going to sell and buy something a little more reasonable... or thats the plan anyways if I get anywhere near to what I ask for it.

BW: 181.8lb

Decline Bench
bar x 8
135lb 2x5
185lb x 3
205lb x 2
225lb 2x5, 1x2

I think I waited too long before my last set and I cooled off. It just felt horribly wrong.

Front Squats
mobility
bar x 5
135lb x 5
165lb x 3
185lb x 1
205lb x 1
225lb x 1
245lb x M
225lb x 1

I *just* about had 245.... damn. I had it moving back up and then I started leaning forward and had to ditch.

Stiff Leg Rack Pull
135lb x 8
225lb x 8
255lb 2x8

HS Jammer
35lb plates x 5
45lb plates x 5
45 + 10 x 8,8

Thoughts

No change since last week's weight. I'm not surprised. I pretty much fell off the wagon last weekend. I hope to do better this weekend and fire up some cardio next week to hopefully reach my goal of sub 180lb before my trip (2.5weeks).

Tmill - 30mins

Pitysister · 01-31-2010, 06:38 PM

have you ever tried any complexes for your conditioning? get the whole body involved.

iron_worker · 02-01-2010, 05:22 AM

I have not. I assume you mean like circuit style trainging.... kind of?

IW

Pitysister · 02-01-2010, 06:34 AM

well you can do lots of stuff...just grab a barbell, do five rows, five rdl's, five cleans, five front squats, five military presses, five back squats....stuff like that. then repeat it for a couple sets...and try to keep progressing on it. getting the sets done faster....less rest time...more sets...more reps...yada yada.

on saturday i did some elliptical work, some snatches, and some bw pushups...killed me.

1 minute sprint on the ellip
10 close grip hang snatches with 40 pounds
a little rest
1 minute sprint on ellip
30-40 bw pushups
a little rest
1 minute sprint on ellip
5 close grip hang snatches with 60 pounds
a little rest
30 sec sprint on ellip
30-40 bw pushups

lay down.

The only reason I use the treadmill is because it's handy at the apartment. I don't have to head to the gym to use the weights. I can just walk down to the main floor and get going.

Although that doesn't kind of sound like fun/death.

Pitysister · 02-01-2010, 07:24 AM

you haven't bought any dumbbells for the home yet dub....i'm disappointed

iron_worker · 02-01-2010, 09:15 AM

Well my one roomie and I had a bench in our living room. lol He took it with him though.

I've just been working with what I've got. Which so far has been working so long as I can stick to my diet plan and stay away from the booze. (I only had 3 drinks this weekend and 1 cheat meal!) I think that is going to make this monday workout *much* nicer.

When it gets nicer out I'd like to head over to the soccer field about a block away and do some sprints instead of the T-mill.

Well I kept it in control this weekend and it payed off I think. I think that the only thing letting me continue to make forward progress while in a deficit is by having everything spot on.

That said, it was a tough day.
