Weight:
204 or so (I think the scale said 203.8)


Calorie Comment:
The past week has been hell. I had a 4000 calorie day. A 3000 calorie day. Some "normal days that were about 2000. And today that is under 1000 calories. I must be doing something right because i am down about 6 pounds over the past month.


NOTE:
I'm going to just start posting working weights. Warm ups are important to do, not to write down.

Also moving o my new routine that was discussed in another thread. Basically:
lower body
upper body
run/misc weights
rest
lower body
upper body
run/misc weights


Hack Squat:
220x5x5x5
FELT AWESOME! Maybe it was the 2 days rest.


Deadlift:
260x5x5x6
Seemed easier than my last 255. I think I could pull 300 pounds once. I'll work up to it though. I think I could do 270 for 5 reps easily. Baby steps though. Next stop 265


Toe Raises:
180x15
200x15x15x15
130x20

Was doing some work in the basement so did more sets than intended. I need to work on form for this. I've done good toe raises in the past and these were not it. Balance is a big issue.

I've switched to a new workout since I last did my log.

Did 3 weight sessions.

Doing This:
A)
Squat
dead
toe raise

B)
overhead press (seated)
bench press
bent over row
shoulder shrug
curls

C
Running

Repeat this weekly:
A/B/C/A/B/C/REST

Might move curls from B to C just to save time on B days.





doing fewer working sets also.
But I am doing something like this:
2x5x185
1xMAXx195 (as many reps as possible)
I consider the 185 my working set. Then I do an extra one with more weight, even if just once.

Today, I did this with deads:
warmups
2x5x275
1x2x295 <= could have done more, worried about form.

Once I decide on my new routine, I'll start logging again. I will keep people informed of what i have been doing though.

Did score a 300 pound used set today. $160. Guy also gave me a crappy Olympic curl bar and a cheapo weight rack. Basically got the 300 pound set for a fair price with a few extra things. Offically have more plate than I know what to do with.

Been a while since I updated. Lifting about twice a week with one day of running.

Currently transitioning to a new lifting program and have a lifting partner now. Trying to figure things out. He and I are going to come up with a routine tonight.

So far, PBs are:
320 pound deadlift
225 pound bench (minor assistance of what my spotter said was 1-2 pounds of force)
hack squat (250)
