Glex: I've Got Runners Trot

[TrueOutlaw]

nothing says happy valentines day like the flu

Its all about the Airborne.

^^true story
good work on your PT test Glex the military is a little retarded w/ their
measurements i was in the Army at one point and they said that i was over weight. i was 5'8" 180 lbs and ripped, but b/c of my height they said my idea weight was 160-165 wtf???? i had to get taped once a week and they wouldn't let me have desserts b/c i was on the fat boy list (this was during basics)

good work btw...the squat numbers look good bro

 

[Glex]

TO: That's so beat about being on the 'fat boy' list!

Speaking of the fitness test, I have the funniest picture from the run! My friend snapped it as I was crossing the finish line (the blue line at my feet). I had to sprint the last half a lap to make it under the max and I was not happy about it, as you can see by my face. Because he took the picture right as my foot was hitting the ground, it looks like I'm being hit in the face with an invisible two by four

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

lmao that is a scatty pic

 

[tim290280]

At least you weren't doing the Chariots of Fire run with your head back looking to the heavens.

 

[Chesticles]

By "invisible two by four" do you mean Line's penis?

 

[Clint]

Roofles greatest pic ever!

to get under the max? dang awesome

 

[onebigeric]

The two by four reference was hilarious Glex; good on ya

 

[IRON]

[Glex]

FF: I had to look up 'scatty'

Tim: I may have looked slightly less ridiculous

Tweak: Thanks bud!

Eric: It's exactly it looks like Thanks for stopping in

Iron: When I can do 20 period I'll be happy

Alright, here's the skinny:

135 lbs x 12
135 lbs x 8

Abs
Cardio: 20 mins on a bike

Aftermath:
Nice quick workout. Mil press was a little disappointing, but that's such a scatty exercise for me (did I use that right, FF? ) DB skulls went really well, I think that's a PB but I hardly keep track anymore; just on some of the big movements. Got in those grippers on advice from Tim. The machine is kinda weird, and I don't like it. The first two sets I was pulling with my body too much instead of just closing my hands. Hopefully it helps, though. We'll see. I'll try and talk Line into doing some legs and back tomorrow, stay tuned

 

[Clint]

whats with that decline press, you can flat the 105s, you should be declining the 110-115lbs if you do them first? Another reason you totally confuse me

military press doesn't look to shabby, skullcrushers dont look too shabby either

heres the skinny

yea you better be doing grippers

girly ass grip

nice cardio too girly man


I love you

 

[IRON]

Iron: When I can do 20 period I'll be happy


bro i cant do twenty w/ straps on either . i jus gotta keep workin hard.

 

[Natureboypkr]

you looked like you we're going to pass out on that pic , nice session

 

[Glex]

Tweak: Well, I don't lift decline at all with Line, and I'd been out of the gym for like two weeks. I think what's more confusing is your incline bench compared to flat Yeah, I do have a girly grip Working on it.

Iron: I hear that. Someday

Nature: More like I was gonna heave

Line finally came out for a session again, and here's how it went down:

2-25-07
5:15-6:50

225 lbs x 8
275 lbs x 6
315 lbs x 2

40 lbs x 10

Abs

Aftermath:
Took a while, but all in all a good day. I wanted to go run, but the treadmills were all taken. So I was going to go up to one of the indoor tracks, but when I got my stuff together to leave I had a phone call I had to deal with and things just didn't work out. I'll probably get some in tomorrow, though.

 

[Clint]

Squats are looking very solid, them leg curls are nothing short of great either. Only 3 sets of calves? Joe and his chicken calves

Rows and Curls are also looking great dude, keep it up and now I'm heading to Joes log, he better have posted it

 

[Chesticles]

Good work Glexxy, pumping iron with Lineski seems to make you push youself harder. Big DB rows man, 130 is great weight

 

[Glex]

Tweak: Thanks bud. The set at the '12' setting didn't feel too good (hence the drop). 10 was just about right, though.

Chesti: Yeah...that it does. I was thinking about racking it after 4 on the second set of squats at 275...then Line says, "Oh, you got two more!" Shit

I've lifted three days in a row now, which is alright because nothing was sore except my chest (which is why I didn't go crazy on it).

Cardio: 25 minutes running (easy...a little under 3 miles? )
Six 50 meter striders

Aftermath:
I didn't know what I was going to do today. I almost didn't bring my log, but I'm glad I did because I was inspired to do this for some reason. It was damn quick; probably about 50 minutes from bench to Hercules Hold. I brought back the upright rows because I haven't done 'em for a while...Tim advised against them because of stress on the shoulders and because they don't do quite as advertised. Doing them with DBs seems to help that, but even the 60 pounders were causing undue stress on my joints. 50 lbs seemed just right. I hope you enjoyed the day of supersets

2-18-07

Running: 31:32, 7:46 min/mile average pace
Took the first mile out relatively fast (6:45) and then just kept up about an 8:15 pace for the last 3 miles.

Abs

Aftermath:
Good run. I was such a cocky bastard in my head to all the people I was passing. Thankfully no one fast was there to damp my ego I just hope I can take it easy at PT tomorrow morning. For some reason, though, our genius cadets in charge always think it's a good idea to kill everyone after they've had a week off. Then, without fail, the workouts will regress to the status quo. Let's get progressively easier, not harder!

 

[Hypocrisy86]

even though you run outside
in the gym i see people get on a bike or recumbent one
and pedal faster than me and always look to my side
and 90% of the time my eyes are closed so i don't flip out like the hulk who got his balls cut off.
still thats a hell of a running session, very, i get paranoid when i do bike riding round my town
cus im afraid either id get hit by a car, shot at, or some deer chasing me.

 

[Chesticles]

Dam man, I was thinking of doing supersets today, very impressive. But I'm guessing you'd have awesome stamina, so you'd be able to handle it. What's a hercules hold dude?

 

[Glex]

Hypo: Actually, I ran this inside on a track. If it weren't so cold I'd be outside.

Chesti: Thanks man My stamina is pretty good; all that cross country and swimming in high school. A Hercules Hold is an event from the World's Strongest Man competitions People look at me so funny when I do it...I do it where you would do cable crossovers. I load up as much weight as the machine has on either side, yank the one handle over to the other side, reach up and grab the other handle, let it pull me to the middle, and then I hold them both as long as I can. Sometimes it's hard to get a good grip, but it's a lot of fun. I wouldn't want to do it all the time, though, seems like a good way to hurt the joints if you did it a lot. Here's a video.

Actually, I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on how bad it is? I remember Tim talking about stress on the shoulders during dead hangs, but it doesn't feel too bad...
