Good luck mano.

Good luck hand?

"Yes"

[KYA]

Haha. We're gringos.

GDSM...couldn't finish the 22 min run today. Got to 19 mins but the lingering asthma the recent cold gifted me with finally won.

That and, even though I was outdoors, I had to pass a woman and her daughter 4 times on the track...each time being accosted by the most noxiously rotting/sweet scent each lap. I swear, it had the olfactory melange of old Juicy Fruit if it were spread on a rotting carcass. Absolutely most vile odor I've encountered in awhile.

I can only shudder in terror at what other stench she was desperately trying to cover up with it.

Anyway, taking 2 weeks off does no good for your wind, so I have come to discover.

You're just lucky you didn't smell the leprosy by itself...

More gains. Squats increased to 60 lbs, lat pulldowns to 50, rows went to 45. If you want I could post another screenshot of my metrics for today's workout.

So that raises a question - does your fancy heart meter work the same now that you're a zombie?

[NeoTifa]

Sure

[jon.kiparsky]

Okay. Just wondering.

Here's how last night went (No breakfast/minimal lunch):

Bench Press: 175lbs, 2 Sets of 5 Reps for priming, 5 Reps on final set for Count.
Bicep Curls: 50lb Barbell, 10 Reps, 3 Sets
Tricep Press: 40lb Dumbbell, 12 Reps, 2 Sets
Tricep Extension: 15lb Dumbbell, 10 Reps, 2 Sets
Chins: Negatives, 5 Reps holding for 3 seconds or more (Where the lack of food really started to hit)
Squats: 185lbs, 2 Sets of 5 Reps for priming, 8 Reps on final set for Count.

More food would have definitely helped, but glad I was able to pump out the 5 on Bench Press. The way my workout has been going, I increase 10lbs each week on the major exercises like Bench Press, Squats, Deadlifts, and 5lb increases on Overhead Press. Long as I hit 5 count on the last round, I can increase. Looks like I'll be hitting the failure point on Bench pretty soon, which means taking 10% weight off and working back up.

Sad to be coming close to that point (though my friend hit it awhile back), but considering a few months ago I was only doing like 2 sets of 8 with 130lbs, I'm happy where I've gotten! I hit triple digits last week on the overhead and haven't reached failure point yet, and I'm trying to hit 200+ on Squats before the same. Deadlifts are getting rough (215lbs this week) but don't think I'm to fail point just yet!

I pulled a muscle just reading that.

My bad!

The last couple of weeks it has been hard for me to get out to run due to various reasons. I have managed to get some running in but not as much as I would like. I have been going steady with the 100 push-ups program I am repeating week 4 this week due to trying the first day of week 5 and not being able to complete all the sets. Still losing weight so no real complaints just know I got to go run when I have the chance.

[AnalyticLunatic]

Do you have a link to this program Apokio? I've got a pretty good regiment right now, and once classes finish I plan on adding in C25K, but have been considering a push-up program as well.

[Apokio]

one hundred pushups

I use the android app, but they have one for iPhone too.
