Glex: I've Got Runners Trot

[Glex]

Ugh...hey guys. I've got a final tomorrow and a final Tuesday, plus a takehome final due Wednesday. I haven't worked out for three weeks. Got my senior design project finished and we're actually pretty pleased with it, but it ate up all my time. No grade on it yet, but I'm assuming I got an A in the course. Maybe a B...I didn't attend anything I was supposed to.

Anyway, I'm still probably looking at above a 3.0 for the semester, despite not having read any of the material for my poli sci class or my industrial (imaginary) engineering course. I think I was supposed to read 4 or 5 books, plus random articles for the poli sci class, and several hundred pages in another book for the IE course

Hopefully this break and next semester are much better for lifting than this semester has been. I'm going to start cramming a bit and then I'll hit the gym in a few hours.

[Bulkboy]

nice db presses glex keep pounding it!

 

[miamiracing]

whats crackin' fella?

nice chest workout, i like the chins.. i cant even do more than 4 with bw

 

[philosopher]

Why dont you try a FB routine..? Its great and it only takes 45mins 3x a week

 

[Glex]

Lionheart: Thanks My chest is sore as hell now.

BB: Hey man, I'll try.

Miami: Not much brother. Just keep forcing yourself to do chins if you want to do more, you'll get 'em.

Philo: I'm going to have some more time to devote to lifting over the break and I have an easy courseload next semester, so I'm not too worried about time constraints right now. I find that fullbody works for my chest, legs, and back alright, but my sucky arm genetics like more attention.

Team Neglect it is

I feel you on finals and such, as I just finished mine last Thursday. I hear you on the cold as well; you guys have it worse than we do, and we've been hitting 11 degree nights That being said, choice work on those Hammer inclines, and your flat presses were standouts as well.

 

[Rocky]

3 weeks not training.

yet you still put in a respectable show on your return which I hate you for.

 

[Glex]

BigE: Thanks brother. I'm glad we both got off finals at the same time and started posting again!

Rocky: I know, I know And thanks; the day went about like I expected. I thought I would get more on a few sets, but I also know that I overestimate what I can do when I come off a break so it works out.

[onebigeric]

'Been awhile and a few beers'... The deserved rest of the intellectually spent

Choice work Glex, especially for a recent return. Those close grips were excellent, and your shrugs looked solid as well. Let's make sure Team Neglect dies a quick and painful death

 

[Rocky]

Another decent session. Good to see you back training regular again. Hopefully your consistency will return you pretty quick to your usual standard.

 

[miamiracing]

still smashing a good solid session there glexi

 

[Lionheart]

Nice quickie there Glex.Not bad at all

Running!
First time in like two months! Sara got me a Garmin GPS running watch thing, it's sweet. I went for 29 minutes, 3.4 miles, average pace 8:35 min/mile (hey, I'm outta shape). Here's a graph from it!

Aftermath:
Like I said, I'm outta shape. Workin' on it, though

 

[Lionheart]

Assholes tried to screw me over, so I'm gonna go in a few hours before my shift starts, quit, and then go to a Christmas party They deserve it.

Yeah you go out style
Good workout again Glex..

 

[Rocky]

Nice going. Bench looked stronger already, and the curls were heavy shit!

Enjoy the party fella!

 

[miamiracing]

nice workout glexy holla at sarah

 

[Rageking]

good work, nice to see you back running.
that graph is pretty sweet, i wanna get one of those things

 

[Glex]

Lionheart: I'm so stylish

Rocky: Yes, my bench did seem stronger this time 'round. I gain strength back quickly, I guess...probably because the plateau isn't too high

Miami: Done been hollad at

Ragekage: Thanks bud. The GPS is pretty sweet. I'm thinking about finding out how to get into the actual latitude, longitude, and altitude measurements so I can put them into a program like Matlab and plot my runs in 3-D. I'm a geek like that
