Glex: I've Got Runners Trot

[Rocky]

Oh, and I helped Sara move into her third floor apartment this morning so that was also a workout

That probably did more for you than all the exercises preceding it!

 

[Bulkboy]

good on ya for doing ur best with what u have, looks like u got in a good workout despite the lack of equipment

 

[fallen]

Still have you monster strength i see, Congrats on school always great to have more time even if it is for cardio lol

 

[Glex]

Tim: Not every room yet, but hopefully soon

Rocky: It wasn't easy. I'm glad I didn't work out before that.

Bulkboy: Thanks, that was the goal

Fallen: Thanks for the compliment Haha, yeah...there's never enough time for everything I want to do.

Alright, here's the skinny:

Running: 31 minutes total
2 minute warmup, stretching
3.1 mile (5k) cross country track...took me 25 minutes to complete
4 minute cool down, stretching

I'm not too worried about the slow pace...I tried taking it out hard but it was like 85 degrees here, I haven't been consistent with running in the last two weeks, and our CC course is treacherous: it starts and ends in the same place, so you start running down a big hill and end running up the same hill, yet 2/3 of the course is above the elevation of the starting point

Also did some pullups up at the school, and now I'm about to go improvise a back, biceps, and abs day in my basement (although it's nice out so I might bring the equipment outside). Cheers, everyone

 

[Glex]

Just did my improv session, done some walking lunges, BB rows, one-armed T-bar rows, EZ bar curls, and concentration curls. Not bad at all

Shit! I forgot to do abs!

 

[Rocky]

Shame on you for neglecting the abs! (I say, having not done a sit up in months!)

Nice improv. Good array of exercises considering what you got!

 

[Bulkboy]

ab training pretty much suck, good cardio u are doing there man, shit, i wouldnt be able to keep up with u. that back and biceps session looks great, good exercise selection

 

[Chesticles]

Nice Rocky style workouts Glexxy, but you forgot to hit a giant slab of meat in a freezer and carry a huge log up a hill.

 

[Glex]

Rocky: Thanks man. It's working out pretty well.

Bulkboy: Yeah...but some of us have to train abs I'm trying hard to get a good exercise assortment with what I have.

Chesti: There's only one giant slab of meat around here, and I'm not going to hit it too hard I'll look for a log, though.

Alright, I've added some more 'equipment', so here's everything I'm working with:

Straps
EZ-bar
25 lbs plate x 2
15 lbs plate x 2
15 lbs machine plates I tore off our old Weider x 6
Cooler to be used as a bench
Step ladder
Picnic table

So, I was able to do:

Running: 38 minutes
Pretty easy pace, but the end hill up to my house was rough

Bench Press
Pullovers
Standing Military Press
Front Raises
Side Laterals
Rear Raises
Shrugs
Weighted Bench Dips
Abs

Aftermath:
Surprising what you can do with so little. I don't want to be stuck this way for much longer, but it's working for now

 

[Rocky]

Nice job again. You aren't as limited it seems as first thought! Hopefully you'll be back to more equipment soon though!

 

[Glex]

Rocky: Thanks...doing what I can. I hope at the latest I'll have a proper gym in another 9 days...I hope

Alright, here's what I did done today:

5-19-07

Running: 45 minutes
Again, the pace wasn't fast, but the rolling hills of my hometown are killer!
Also did six 100ish yard striders afterwards
Drove what I ran afterwards to see how long it was, it was a little over 5 miles

Pullups...sorta
Deadlifts
EZ Bar Rows
EZ Bar curls
'DB' Curls
Abs

Aftermath:
I forgot we have a pullup bar in our basement...but it's pretty much useless. It's not wide enough and I'm afraid to pull my head over the bar too much because it's only about a foot below ceiling height. The deadlifts were obviously really light, but I wanted to do something. Oh, I scavenged some more from the Weider machine, using one of the cloth and plastic handle attachments to turn some plates into 'dumbells'. No weights tomorrow, maybe some running if the weather holds off, though. Until next time, everyone

 

[Rocky]

Looks pret5ty good to me. Nice work on the scavenge! Every little helps!

 

[Glex]

Thanks as always, Rocky

5-20-07

Running: 29:30 minutes
Approximately 7:47 minute miles (3.8 miles total)
Not bad considering my legs were pretty fatigued

Abs

 

[philosopher]

nice cardio workout. I havent been running for a long time

 

[Glex]

^^ It's hard to get back into it. I have to force myself for about two weeks then it comes easier.

Running: 58:30 minutes
Not fast, but this is a 6-7 mile run with two extremely brutal hills, which are between .25-.5 miles each. I was donesy.

Stretched, hosed off, laid out in the sun, and an improv full body workout is coming later.

 

[fallen]

damn all that cardio is killer. Looks real good Glex you should be beach ready in no time

 

[SerbMarko]

oh my dude.. 1 hr of cardio.. thats awesome.. i know thats not alot for some.. but i would die.. good job.

 

[Glex]

Fallen and Serb: Yeah, I'm the ice cream truck's worst nightmare: a fat kid that can run

Alright, so I thought I'd show you my 'set up' a little bit, here's some pictures. First one is my one-arm T-bar row set up, the next is the rest of my scavenged equipment (including a 40 lbs DB that materialized today ), and a view of the whole shabang with my boombox on the step ladder next to the garage door, and the cooler which functions as my bench there next to the picnic table As you can see, my shoes are in the second picture and the last one is self-explanatory; I went Arnold-style shoeless today Felt great!

 

[Glex]

As for my workout, here's the skinny:

5-22-07

Squats
SLDL
Calf Raises...sorta
Military Press
Shrugs
Bench Press
Single arm T-bar rows
Various bicep and tricep exercises
Abs

Aftermath:
Didn't really have a good way to do calves, especially since I was shoeless and going off a platform didn't feel right, but they were pretty much decimated on the run so whatever. I abandoned those and went on to the rest. It's a bitch doing bench press with that cooler! I had to clean the weight to my chest, sit down, lay down, then scoot to the proper position, then do my set! The first time I did it I set the weight on the step ladder behind my head but it ended up bending the cheap-ass EZ bar when I set it down too hard. Overall it wasn't a bad workout, but I really need a gym!

 

[SerbMarko]

your not fat are you?
