Did a nice 20 min (19:51 to be exact) loop. My left ham and glute started to cramp up about half-way through, but other than that, felt great.

Didn't get a chance to hit up the gym today, so I will deadlift tomorrow. Triceps and deltoids are still sore from my press day.

Ahahaha, so much for the gym on 06/14/08 . . . I didn't get in my pull day until today . . .

RDL: 165 5x5
Bent over Row: 75x5, 80x5, 85x5, 90x5, 95x5
Triceps Extension (seated): 40 4x8

My RDL form was questionable today--on the way down, my back was tight and straight, but on the way up, it rounded a little. I guess I need to use my hips to push out more, and I should probably do some warmup sets next time . . .

Once I get a form check, I will switch to the regular Deadlift (probably in 2 weeks when I hit 185).

Didn't do any long runs so far, so I decided to do one today. Ran about 4 miles in 33:06 . . . had a side stitch for the first 15 or so minutes, but went away after that. On the way up, it was uphill, which killed me, but felt other than that, the run was nice.

My workout routine will restart tomorrow, and and I will also Squat on my Press day because I haven't done it this week it.

So it turns out that the Tricep Extensions I did a lot more harm than good . . .

Bench: 115 2x5, 105 3x5
One-Legged Squat: 80x5
Squat: 160 4x5

My triceps were completely dead today . . . I couldn't even SOHP 1 rep at 80 (I did 4 sets of 5 reps at 80 last week). I didn't want to wait for these two guys that were doing a billion sets on the rack so I got in a set of One-Legged Squats. Both One-Legged Squats and the Squats felt great. I will move up to 170 on Sunday.

No run today, but I did have to walk 2 miles in 95 degree weather . . . so I guess that counts for something (better than nothing).

06/21/08

RDL: 175 5x5
Bent-Over Rows: 90 5x5

My back was still rounding a little bit when coming up on the RDL's, but it was not as pronounced as last week. I will get a form check on my Deadlift and then start next week at 185.

So who ever would've thought that taking an upper divison Math course would require 3-6 hours of work outside of class each day . . . I will more than likely have to switch to a 2 Day Split due to lack of time.

Anywho, workout today was alright . . . didn't have a spotter, so I did dumbbell bench and Arnold presses . . .

Dumbbell Bench: 50lb dumbbells 4x6
Squat: 170 5x5
Dumbbell Arnolds: 35lb dumbbells 2x6 30lb dumbells 2x6

About 3 months ago, I was able to do 35lbs at 4x6 no problem, so I dunno what's up. Maybe the Squats are affecting them some how, but whatever . . .

06/29/08

SOHP: 80 2x5, 85x5, 90x5
Deadlift: 135 2x5, 155x5, 175x5, 185x5
Bent-Over Rows: 95 5x5

I decided to SOHP again today, to see if there would be any difference, and it worked like a charm. Seeing as how I can do my old 1RM 5 times, I've definitely gained something so far . . . I also got a form check for my Deadlift today, so I lifted light, and will continue to do so for next week to, to perfect my form. Rows felt fine.

Did a garbage/bogus workout with my garbage/bogus weight set at home . . .

Bench: 100 4x8
Curls: 20x16, 15x12, 10x16
