***The Exercise Challenge***

SL 5x5 this afternoon. 195lb squats, 115lb bench, and 115lb rows. Looking forward to hitting the 45lb plate for my bench and row but probably need to watch some row videos so I don't hurt myself. Still working on that 2 plate squat. Think I can do it. Followed the workout with planks and some pullups.

 

Sl 5x5: 200lb squat, 90lb OHP, 225lb DL. Feels good to be doing 2 plates for DL. Will be watching some videos before my next workout to get my form right now that the weights are getting pretty heavy.

 

Glad to see others have turned to exercise to help abstaining! Today: 5mi hike round trip, 2500 vert including a 700ft rock climb. Might be crazy depending on where you're from, but that's not much here in Colorado.

 

Another SL 5x5 this morning. Thank god no one was in the gym because I was screaming bloody murder for my squats at 205lb. I ended up using the belt for my last set and killed it. I will probably end up using the belt for the my last 2 sets for here on until I deload. My goal next week is to get to 2 plates on both sides.

Also today 120lb bench and 120lb row. Still need to master form for row as I don't want to hurt myself.

 

I got off the beam for awhile. Tomorrow morning I start again the daily exercise

 

Absolutely ruined my legs today.
Also, I've lost nearly 20 pounds in the past 5 months. Feels great!
Also, kinda sucks that I injured my wrist which prevents me from lifting, but I still carry on with cardio, abs, and legs!

 

I think I ran too much and feel like I have shin splints. That to go with a sprained wrist. FML

 

i like to do 5 minutes of planking in the morning as a little kickstart to my day.

 

I like doing 8 minute abs (It's an 80s workout video on youtube). Usually if I have a busy day, I'll do 8 minute abs in the morning. Today, I had classes/labs from 8:30-9pm with a few hourly breaks for eating and stuff, so I did 8 minute abs around 5 pm. It felt great. I've done the workout routine 3 times in the last week, and I mix in regular lift sessions on more free days. Tomorrow I think I'm going to dead lift and squat and lift biceps.

 

Since my wrist has healed, I can finally resume lifting weights. I'm still careful when running as I'm still recovering from shin splints. Maybe I'll replace running with stationary cycling to be careful and not aggravate my leg.

 

Hit the universal machine today, did seated bench presses, triceps, wide lat pull downs, and some exercise band stuff with my legs.

 

did 8 minute abs in the morning with some plank.

 

I lifted weights after a long time. Now my entire upper body is sore.

 

Biked hard for about 20 minutes, did some pull-ups, some sprints, side shuffles, and some leg lifts.

 

I was able to get out and ride my bike for two miles, which was fun. I got football (American) practice tonight, so I'm not gonna hit the weights. Might do some jumping jacks, planks, or squats later today though.

Daaaang, practice was fun. xD Got knocked in the head a couple times, but nothing too bad. Somehow got yelled at by the coach for hitting too hard...don't know how that works in freakin' football, but it happened. xD
