Ok. Yesterday's workout was kinda rough. I ran a bunch before hand and was pretty tired by the time I got to the gym, but here's what we did.

Squat: 4 sets of 5, worked a little lighter today because of the running, I worked at 155.

Pullups: Smashed my shoulder in my attic, so my left arm is still a little tender, I did lat pulldowns instead of pullups because my grip didn't feel very strong. Did 75 reps at setting of 12 (whatever that means)

Cable pullthrough: 4 sets- 12reps, 8reps, 6reps, 6reps.

Dumbbell bench press: 4 sets- 12 reps, 8reps, 6reps, 6 reps, all with 60lb dumbbells.

Bicycle crunch: 5 sets of 20

So I've gotten pretty lazy about posting, that doesn't mean I've gotten lazy about going to the gym. I skipped this Friday's workout due to time constraints, but I will try and make up for it this week. Check back tomorrow for me to resume workout logs.

Also, I want to delve into nutrition and supplementation a bit, so hopefully that will come this week as well.

Ok, so after a week of Insanity, I remembered the thing that I hated most about P90X. Working out in my living room is actually pretty miserable. Not only do I smash my hands against the ceiling every time I jump, but I'm covered in cat hair, my carpet is damp and my cat likes to try and work out with me, which becomes and ankle-twisting hazard. So... I'm shifting gears a little bit.

Menshealth.com has a program which is an entire year of workouts that appear to run in 4-week long phases (so like 13 phases).

Today I started phase 1. After running 1 mile to the gym, I went through the prescribe workout as follows:

Squats: 4 sets of 5 at 5-rep max (I used 195 as my working weight for today)
Pullups: As many sets as it takes to get to 50 pullups (I did 10 sets of 5)
Low cable pullthroughs: Set 1) 12-15 reps Set 2) 8-12 reps Set 3) 6 reps
Dumbbell bench press: 1) 12-15 reps 2) 8-12 reps 3) 6 reps
Ab bicycles: 4 sets of 20-25 reps (each side)

Followed by a plyometric circuit, which I skipped due to time constraints

Then I ran back home another mile.

All in all it was 1 hour 6 minutes and, according to my heart rate monitor, 700 kcal.
Max heart rate was 165, average was 124.
