CLEEPERS Reeve's classic physique log

[CLEEPER]

30 minutes on the elliptical today after wake up and a cup of coffee and a 26 gram shot of protien. 447 calories burned according to the counter on the elliptical.
Kicking cardio in high gear on all off days except one. Since I did nothing on Saturday, Sunday had to be it.


Will be hitting the weights tomorrow and if i have time before work, will be doing elliptical right after my weight date.

Some excellent work going on in this thread! If you are crunched for time and wanting to do some cardio, have you considered tabata?

I have never heard of tabata. will google it.

I am thinking about bringing my Kettle bell to work with me, get my cardio done at work and weights at home.


Steve, night shift is always better for me. dont know why I like them better, guess its because i sleep more when i go home first thing in the morning and sleep untill i wake up. on day watch, kids dont let me get to sleep untill its kind of late. Then I only have 4 hrs to sleep.

done


did not work abs as this work out really hits the core hard and with the added dumbbell rows, the core was smoked.

[BendtheBar]

Still surprised by how beastly strong you are on the BTNs.

[CLEEPER]

Thanks Steve,every body has that one move they stand out in. The bhtnp seems to be mine. I use to hate lifting over head and since I started doing them on a regular basis, its my favorite move. I look forward to doing them. I am trying to get to the top of the ears with the lighter sets so its making the heavy sets more dificult. I think after this week I will progress the 2nd set of 5 reps to 155 and work on depth still. Ill leave 180 stationary untill I get the depth I want on the first 3 sets.

[CLEEPER]

So about todays session, The Dumbbell rows are a great move to have in this routine. 90 lbs felt great concidering I have 2 more days to do them in this week. Will go up again next week to 95 as I feel that will challenge me. So far 90 is work but not a real challenge. after 95 I am going to get partial plates and start going up 2.5 lbs a week or so.

the chin ups were done to hit the biceps although the dumbbell rows hit them pretty good as well.
Today being the heavy day, my core was feeling it very well . I will do some direct ab work on wednesday as its my light day and maybe friday depending on how i feel.

Tomorrow Im going to try some Tabata routine for cardio . I will post about that and let you all know if I survived

Great pressing. Similar story here. Once I forced myself to do overhead pressing, I found myself liking them more and more. And once I was past the 1plate per side mark, it was pure joy.

[CLEEPER]

same with me, I look forward to pushing my self for more on that move. I do on the others but bhtnp is my staple move.
