WED ACTIV, THURS PLAN

Here was the plan:
3 rounds for time of:
Walking lunge, 100 ft
50 Squats
25 Back extensions

Able to complete:
Walking lunge, 50 feet w/ 15# weights
30 squats
10 Burpee (since I don't have a back extension machine, I incorporated more thigh work)
I thought I could complete this without probs, but crap. I seriously am out of shape. The first round was OK, but the second round hurt. By the third round on the lunges, I could feel my hip extensors weakening. The squats on the third round were also weak with me picking up my heels of the ground. Tried to correct it, but it hurt (the good hurt, that is) I also felt as if I was jumping 2 inches off the ground with the burpees.

Plan for Thurs:
Push press 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 reps

WEDNESDAY, 5/16

Plan today is scheduled to do
3 rounds for time of:
Walking lunge, 100 ft
50 Squats
25 Back extensions

MONDAY ACTIV & PLAN FOR TUES IS REST

Today I was supposed to do:
15-12-9 reps of:
155 pound Hang power cleans
Muscle-ups

Again, I am just getting started so I modified it to:
15-12-9 reps of:
95# Hang power cleans (need to gain core strength before going up in weight)
120# lat pull down
45# bench dips

Sunday, May 13, 2007

Plan for Monday, May 13th

15-12-9 reps of:

155 pound Hang power cleans (doubt I can do 155#, but I may work up to it)
Muscle-ups (I need rings for this of which I don't have, so I may have to combine pull ups, followed by dips)

I was watching videos and saw a brutal system. They called it "Annie are you OK"

FIRST DAY

One of my friends told me about this website that helps him out in planning workouts. That is one of my problems. Their basis is quick short workouts for maximum benefit. Here it is: www.crossfit.com

I looked at the workout videos and was highly impressed with their skills and capabilities. Looking at the workouts, I had to modify one to deal with the gym here at work. The date I chose was May 6th.

Plan was to:
Complete as many rounds as you can in twenty minutes of:
1. 35 pound barbell Thruster, 7 reps
2. Weighted pull-up, 50 lbs, 7 reps

During the exercise, I had to change the pull-ups to a seated row. I started out at 110# ,but may need to decrease the weight in order to get 7 reps. The barbells could probably be at 35 lbs for the barbell thruster as I didn't have much problems with that weight. This just goes to show how weak I am, I only completed 15 minutes.

Beginning weight: 184#
BMI is 28 which is considered overweight. http://www.healthmonitor.com/BMI.htm

The funny part about that is that I am supposed to be 160# in order to be considered normal and not overweight. Let's calculate that: 24# to lose. That is 13% of my body weight. So if I have 20% fat as determined by water weighing, I need to have only 7% body fat to get down to normal. Hmmmm. Can I do that? I going to give it my all.
