-Week beginning Saturday,December,31st- 31st-(am)7.4 miles cycling (midday)yard work (afternoon/evening)chest/traps/light arms,legs,back,neck,abs 1st-(afternoon)yard work, 7.4 miles cycling (evening)1.4 mile walk 2nd-(midday)yard work (afternoon)7.4 mile bike ride (evening)shoulders/arms/light chest,traps,neck,abs 3rd-(pm)1.4 mile walk 4th-(am)legs/light arms,traps,neck,abs 5th-(am)back/light arms,traps,neck,abs
-Notes- -I feel great ,probably correlated to moving all day.I place a high priority on maintaining my health as I don't trust government or industry to look after my best interests... -Yesterday,the first day of the weekly cycle,I started with light/moderate aerobics(cycling),then did several hours of stretching(yard work)and then kicked myself into anabolic mode by getting into the gym.That was a good day but I realize if I make too much of a routine of it ,it will start getting stale.This is why I train by instinct or "feel" and I suspect this is why so many starting new years fitness routines fail in sustaining them.In that spirit,note that I don't train on a calender year basis... -My pull muscles tend to overpower my push muscles, if I don't compensate by training.Thus,my recent focus on quads/chest rather than hams/back.However,in keeping with my total body warmups ,and the fact I can start adding back in some compound barbell exercises as my sore shoulder recovers,I have been doing more barbell rows,where I have a good mind/muscle connection, recently.Combined with my recent brutal legs/back workout,and my focus on cycling speed, on my first yard work of the week I was hampered by tight hams/lower back.So the first day of the new year started out with more yard work to further stretch out my muscles.I can report they are much looser now to the point I regained form as a weeding machine. -After a brief break,I need to get back into the gym to maintain positive habits.Preworkout, I will have a carrot with P/B as I prefer to consume nuts as part of my diet,rather than emulate them. -After a brutal leg/back workout to end last week, I started this week training moderately ,while increasing aerobics,stretching and rest.As the week progress, I kept up the rest but cut the aerobics and stretching allowing me to train legs and back heavy on consecutive workouts. -6 day cycle w/ 2.8 miles walking and 22.2 miles cycling.

Our gym is open for a few hours today, and I'll head over there for a weight workout, and another 15-20 mile bike ride (I did 22 miles yesterday). It's pretty chilly, and that's about as much as I seem to want to do. Maybe a little yard work, because the sun is shining even if it is cold.

My greatest nightmare has been realized. I have to join a gym. Single digit temps and a foot of snow on the ground are not a good combination for this new runner. Is it Spring yet?

msdoolittle I use to dread joining a gym. My wife signed me up for the University gym and the charge came out of her paycheck. So I went and found it was not so bad as I thought. And you never know, you might enjoy checking out the beefers.

Week of Jan 8th 2017
Sun. Landmine workout Tue: 3 mile run, 1.5 mile walk. Thur: On my drive to the gym I thought of every excuse to not go to the gym today but somehow I made it to the gym. As I was getting dressed for my run, still making up excuses, a fellow walked by, in gym clothes, with an oxgen concentrator straped to his back. Suddenly any excuse I could make, at the moment, paled. I ran 4 miles.
Sat: I ate lots of cheetos, I had to run a mile and then a Landmine workout

I haven't taken the g-y-m step yet. We're in the middle of a warm up here. Supposed to be 60* today and not dipping below 37*F for the foreseeable future. I can handle that.
Talk about weather fluctuations...
So, I finally got a run in yesterday. My last run before that was Monday. Yesterday's run was 48*, sunny, and lots of snow still on the ground. The dogs loved it and I wanted to throw my Yaktrax in the trash after (they kept slipping off my shoes). I was able to tie my jacket around my waste and I managed a little bit of a sunburn.
I'm running this afternoon after work. Can not wait to get a run without the dogs. My 5k is February 5th. I think I might be ready for it!

-Week beginning Wednesday,January,11th- 11th-(am)chest/light shoulders,arms,traps,neck 12th-(am)shoulders/arms/light neck,abs 13th-(afternoon)legs/light chest,shoulders,arms,neck,abs 14th-(evening)back/light chest,arms,traps,neck,abs
-Notes- -I am on a roll training 4 to 5 hours daily and my diet has become more anabolic to reflect that. -I extended my deadlifts by using my tattered lifting straps for the first time in a few years.I could have continued on with my powerlifting belt and then mountaineering boots but am at the stage where balance and protecting/strengthening joints/muscles is as important as weight lifted. -4 day 4 on schedule w/ 0 miles walking and 0 miles cycling.

rwtb123 as a note, I do, when I make updates to my weekly, look to see who else has made an update to their weekly. What is a superset?

In traditional training, you usually do a number of sets of the same exercise resting between sets and usually pyramiding up in weight.Then moving on to the next exercise or bodypart.As opposed to this supersetting is a technique of doing two different exercises back to back with little to no rest.This can often be the same or opposing bodyparts but I use this technique instinctively for any two exercises I want to work on at the time with little to no forethought. Giant sets takes this a step further linking three or more exercises in rapid sucession.And,when I say modified super or giant sets that means different exercises but taking more rest between so that I can still lift heavier.Super and giant sets are useful for shocking,toning,conditioning,detailing,warming up,cooling down,etc., and can be done as an entire workout or just anytime you feel like changing up a more traditional workout.I will often do the core/compound/midrange exercises traditionally and heavy while using more techniques such as super and giant sets for the stretch and contraction focused isolation exercises...
