the elevation isn't that high up here; probably around 1000ft or so. sitting in a car all day long and driving didn't help much either.

2/20/2006 9:27:28 PM

heh you should try working out in the Rockies.. its a lot of fun.. u feel like you've accomplished something

2/20/2006 9:34:35 PM

2/20/2006 9:34:56 PM

a guy I work with got assigned to a project in Arizona at an altitude of 8,000ft, and he got used to working out at that height. When he came back here he could run a mile about a minute faster. he also blew out his ACL within a month of coming back. I don't know if the two are related.

I'd rather train at sea level in a warm, dry environment.

2/20/2006 9:36:47 PM

you mean warm HUMID climate.. its nice and dry out there .. I did the same thing.. I haven't blown anything yet.. in fact I feel I am in my best shape I have ever been

2/20/2006 9:40:56 PM

2/20/2006 9:44:19 PM

no, I meant dry. it's hard to lift heavy in a humid gym environment. I've had trouble catching my breath after a heavy work-set in Orlando before.

2/20/2006 9:44:27 PM

ohh i see ... right on.. keep up the good work buddy

2/20/2006 9:47:24 PM

Word on the street is Mendelson pressed over a 1k at his last competition. Haven't seen the results yet or anything but they say he missed like 1036

2/20/2006 9:53:38 PM

hit up some chest and triceps in gym class today.

13.4% body fat. not bad i guess. i thought i was a bit higher.

2/21/2006 1:40:28 PM

2/21/2006 1:42:17 PM

good back routine today. maybe I'll do some sprinting around Ohio University tomorrow.

2/21/2006 8:49:49 PM

I was having a trouble doing front Squats today. Kept getting up on my toes on the way up.

2/21/2006 8:50:40 PM

i feel like my arms are gonna explode like that one guy on that TLC program

2/21/2006 8:51:01 PM

why? you been shooting synthol?

2/21/2006 8:52:35 PM

haha, naw just went hardcore on the preacher curls and dips today-- besides, i'm terrified of needles

2/21/2006 8:54:18 PM

ima do some legs soon

2/21/2006 8:55:54 PM

I ought to start supersetting arms again. it's a great ego boost to walk out of the gym with 21 inch arms.

2/21/2006 8:56:00 PM

Tate Curls

2/21/2006 9:00:26 PM

i oughta start doing that too


jk, i dont care about my arms

2/21/2006 9:25:29 PM

you should; you throw shot put. the arms fatigue quicker and rebuild faster than the chest and back are capable of, so having a day dedicated to them can help.

2/21/2006 10:52:25 PM

I am going to Car Michael.... Here's the workout schedule...
1. Run four miles
2. extensive ab work out (scope out eye candy in between reps)
3. The sauna
4. The steam room

2/23/2006 6:00:28 PM

ran 3.5 today on the derrr track.

well, 3 miles, then walked like half a lap, and ran another 2 laps. then class was over.

2/23/2006 6:30:53 PM

^^ I hate those girls who just come to the gym to check us guys out.



just kiddin

2/24/2006 5:35:22 AM

Probably not gonna make it today, fucking news are killing me. Alcohol Sucks!

2/24/2006 11:11:43 AM

almost time to do some abdominals and plyometrics to burn off all the beer and girl scout cookies from the weekend

2/27/2006 4:06:21 PM

it's about time to start some serious dieting again.

2/27/2006 7:42:42 PM

first day of the new workout went well... now I just need to keep up with the routine

2/27/2006 7:46:02 PM

hahah, I said 'News' instead of Knees. Brett, what kind of workout are you doing?

2/27/2006 8:24:39 PM

yes, gym time now, it's been too long

2/27/2006 9:52:36 PM

^^only the best one ever!

if thats the case i guess ill quit trying to squeeze arms into the heavy duty stuff andgive them their own day


should i do the same for quads, hamstrings and calves?

2/27/2006 9:54:47 PM

^i make sure i get a good calf day whenever i have chest days and then i do a lil extra when i do leg exercises (everything i've read says that those are the hardest things to train just because they are used to repairing themselves pretty damn quickly)

2/27/2006 9:58:07 PM

Today sucked, my allergies got the best of me

2/28/2006 8:00:58 PM

"should i do the same for quads, hamstrings and calves? "

what are you currently doing for them? those muscle groups are so big I wouldn't try to train them more than once a week. part of that is because you're probably like me and only do heavy squats and front squats for legs, and both of those target the lower back as well. the lower back usually takes around 7 days to repair itself, and overtraining the back can be disastrous.

I usually alternate weeks with squat day and deadlift day, and I do good mornings on squat day and the leg press on deadlift day as a secondary exercise.

I also don't think it's necessary to do arm exercises after doing heavy compound motions like bench press, weighted dips and chinups, bent over rows, etc. the arm muscles are much smaller than the chest and back, so why would you isolate them after a compound movement exercise? they heal faster, but they also fatigue faster and can't keep up. personally, I have to limit my volume on the bench press not because of my chest fatigueing but because my triceps and front deltoids give out after a few heavy sets. My biceps do the same thing when I go heavy and to failure on bent over rows.

2/28/2006 10:52:24 PM

^^ get you some Claratin-D, I've been allergy free since 5pm today

2/28/2006 11:29:21 PM

^^well from your post im doin the right stuff, thats pretty much what ive been doing

(i already fucked my back up, now i have to pay a vist to the chiropractor every wednesday, kinda scary if im gonna have to do this the rest of my life)

2/28/2006 11:46:49 PM

I went running this morning and this evening I went swimming... I am pooped

2/28/2006 11:48:24 PM

2/28/2006 11:49:04 PM

i pooped and a pebble wouldnt fall away from my ass

i accidentally wiped it, left a big mess

2/28/2006 11:51:03 PM

I might have overdone the cardio today. Feeling light-headed when you leave the gym is no good.
