this thread is your internet gym logbook (inspired by this).

post your workouts here - brag or moan, was there a moron in the gym? did the music help/hurt? sore?

here are my most recent two:

Tuesday, 3/11: bench squat day - did 5 sets of 5 reps with 405lbs, then triceps extensions & curls with dumbells. back was a little sore Wednesday.

Thursday: deadlift day - 2 sets of 10 reps with 365lbs. got heavy after rep 6 both times. nice, satisfying boom when i lowered the bar that echoed throughout the gym & cut through the lame rap-punk they play. feel great today, ready to do squats saturday.

As the sign in my weight room at school says: dropping weights impresses no one. It only shows that you are unable to control the weight.
 
Monday = 5mile run in morning, swim laps in the evening, add in probably 300 crunches and 100 push ups
Tuesday = Weight room, upper body, push ups, crunches, heavy bag punches, pull ups ~2.5 hours
Wednesday = 5 mile run, laps in evening, crunches, push ups
Thursday = Weight room, lower body, heavy bag kicking ~ 2.5hours
Friday = 12 mile group run, push ups max sets, crunches max sets, bench presses
Saturday = sit on my ass, probably due a 2 hour bike ride trail and off road
Sunday = sit on my ass some more
 
Last 2 years-nothing

Wed-workout with my kids 20 minutes on the treadmill, hit the weight machines, spent a lot of time working on my daughter's form in the machines, 20 minute cooldown on exercise bike.

Thurs 45 min of pitiful raquetball with daughters, we have no idea how to play, but they laughed the whole time😀

Friday, everything hurts....🙁 But I'll have workout buddies for the next 8 years with my daughters till they go to college😀

Lowering slowly is also important in muscle growth. 1/3 of each muscle is resistance. For instance, lowering the bar slowly to your chest on bench press, etc.
 
Monday - Thought about going to the gym after work. Went home after work, turned on the tv, and ate a bag of chips.

Tuesday - Thought about going to the gym after work. Went home after work, turned on the tv, and ate a bag of chips.

Wednesday - Thought about going to the gym after work. Went home after work, turned on the tv but skipped the chips.

Thursday - Thought about going to the gym after work. Went home after work, turned on the tv and ate a bag of chips.

Friday - Thought about going to the gym after work. Stay tuned to find out if I actually make it tonight. 😀

Well at least I'm going mountain biking Saturday and Sunday.

eccentric reps for deadlift? no thanks.
 

some of you are pretty dedicated.

i used to jog 7 days/week. of course i was 20 years old at the time.
at 48 i need recovery time, sometimes a lot.

Things aren't looking good. It almost 7:00 Pacific time and I'm still at work. :frown:
 
saturday, 3/15:

squats: warmup sets, then 5 sets of 3 reps with 385lbs, 2 sets of 6 with 335.
back extensions: 2 sets of 12 while holding a 45 lb plate to my chest.
situps on decline bench: 2 sets of 30 while holding a 35lb plate to my chest.

felt lousy going into gym, then was distracted by lame hip-hop & country-pop played thru gym speakers for an hour, then by large-busted skinny woman with revealing sports bra who bent forward a lot.
 
Mine doesnt vary much

25 minutes of cardio four days a week
30 minutes of lifting four days a week.

Sometimes I'll throw in an extra day, but never on the weekend!

 
Every Day of the week:
5-10 chinups, depending on my strength
about 6-10 sets of 10-20 ab crunch machine at 120lbs
bench press, about 4 sets of 10 at 140-150lbs
incline press 4 sets of 10 125 lbs
curling about 4 sets of 10 with maybe 50-60lbs?

and maybe 2-4 sets of 10 on the various machines around
 
Sun: Bench - Incline or decline and flat, 3 sets of 10 each.
Mon: Shoulder and back - Shoulder press, shrugs, lat pull downs, cable row, delts. 4 sets of 10 each. Then 15 minutes of cardio.
Tues: off
Wed: Biceps- sitting dumbell curls, EZ curls, hammer curls. 3 sets of 10 each. Then 15 minutes of cardio.
Thurs: Triceps - french curl, overhead dumbell raises, some stuff on the cables. 4 sets of 10 each. Then 15 minutes of cardio.
Fri - off
Sat - off

 
Sun: off except for occassional long cardio session
Mon: legs... 3X squats, 2X leg press, 2X extension, 2X hamstring curl, 2X/2X inner and outer thighs/hips, 3X calf machine
Tues: shoulders... 3x press, 2X side laterals, 2X front, 2X barbell front raises, 3X shrugs (not really shoulders but I like to group it in)
Wed: off, mebbe light cardio
Thurs: back & biceps... 3X row, 3X dumbell bent row, 2X pull downs, 2X barbell curls, 2X cable curls/hammer curls, 2X machine curls, pull ups to failure
Friday: chest & triceps... 3X dumbbell bench, 2X cable fly, 2X cable press, 2X incline dumbell fly, 2X tricep press, 2X cable tri press, 2X reverse grip cable tri press, dips to failure
Sat: off, mebbe cardio

I train abs everyday, but only once a week with heavy weight. Calves I train one other random day other than with legs. Light cardio done every day before weight training.
 
any you guys getting tired of lifting heavy? i've been doing it for 3 years now and lately i'm getting real tired.
 
you know that nobody is going to read your workout right? everyone just skips all the way to the bottom, posts their sh!t and leaves. i don't understand what's the point of posting.
 
Tues, 3/18
squats: warmup, then 1 set of 6 reps with 315, 3 sets of 6 with 335.
triceps extensions & curls with dumbells (45lbs).
 
Monday, Wednesday, Friday - 1 - 1 1/2 hours of basketball
Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday - alternate lower and upper body workouts. small reps, increasing weights.
 
Sunday / Wednesday - 2 miles (ish) running.
Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday - 12 - 15 reps of each below:
Peck flyes
Bench Press
Bicep Curls
Arnold Press
Front and back sholuder lifts
Quad lifts
Lat curls?
Shrug lifts?

Monday - Friday - 25 sit ups
50 twists
10 ab crunches
 
Hmm, I walk about 2 miles a day (much more today since my car is in the shop), and do a bunch of leg exercises and stretches. I also might buy a bike tonight and start riding it for an hour or so a day.

I have physical therapy for my legs 3x a week for the next month.
 
Thurs, 3/20.

deadlift: 2 sets of 10 reps with 365 lbs. easier than last week, but not easy. time to up the weight.
