7.25.11 Weight 232

I am giving this another attempt, my first journal failed...

One Hand Machine Perch 60x 6-6-6

Today is legs and arms day, I went in the morning but over slept a bit so only had time to do one thing when I actually got there, will be going in, in the evening to finish everything else.

My weight has been going down pretty well as well, last week I was at 240, as of Saturday I hit 232, so I am hoping for around 230-229 by the end of this week.

My overall goal is to get down to around 190, while increasing my strength. Im doing a basic diet and cardio around 5-6 times a week.

Normally do elliptical one day and power walk couple miles the other day. I can not do a lot while walking/running outside due to my knee problem...

not sure how much "will" there is when your first workout consists of 3 sets of machine preachers....just sayin'

Indeed... If that was supposed to be arm and leg day, where are your squats, and/or hacks?

7.25.2011/ 7.26.2011 ( Evening) Weight 234

Rev cable curl- 60 x 12
Standing Calf Raise 400x 10
One leg sitting curl- 135 x 9
90 x20
Leg Press 860 x 8
Leg Ext 165 x 20

I was actually pretty shocked my leg curl and leg press went very easy today, the reps were easily managed. I did not push it to hard because my knee was starting to act up once again. It was a good over all workout session, did 30 min elliptical afterwards, because I couldn't get my cardio in, in the morning.

My weights pretty good, 234 second day after refeed. Tomorrow it should even out and by sat I should be around 229.

Kind of excited as well today, got my interview for homicide...

7.26.11 Weight 234

Did some cardio this evening for about 40 minutes, power walked for 4 miles.

Went this morning to see a doctor about my knee.. he said buy better shoes with an arch... I hope that help, because it hurts like fuck after the second mile to walk, but elliptical of course feels always great...

Had my interview for homicide this morning, got the internship, super excited.

7.27.11 Weight Training

HS Incline 270 x 5x3x3
One Arm Machine Press 70 6-5-3
Pulldown 140 x 22...
Close Grip pulldown 160 6-5-4
Vertical One Arm Row 100 x 8-5-5

Day went well, so I went to a new gym today, my location I used to go to closed down. I learned my lesson today, I am never going there at 5pm again... I couldn't get in Rack or Deads... because people were standing all over the crap talking and doing one set every 10 minutes.. not even worth the hassle of asking them to move.

Had to keep my pulldown super low weight because once again, that is all the machine can handle... I tried to go find some weights to put on there, but kept walking up to my machine to use it... soo annoying...

The gym didnt even have close grip pulldown so I had to use long bar and just move my hands closer, very uncomfortable doing it that way. just a fyi. I lowered the weight by a lot and just did that set.
Overall everything went fine
