Let's try again...
-
Ducked into the gym at work on my way out the door. Had to make it quick, light, and skip legs, so I could get to karate on time and with legs intact.<br />
<br />
[b]Bench press[/b]<br />
6 x 40<br />
10 x 60<br />
10 x 60<br />
10 x 60<br />
<br />
[b]Military press[/b]<br />
Some rude fucker grabbed both the rack and the Smith machine so I had to grab one of the preloaded barbells and free stand. fluffybunny.<br />
10 x 40<br />
10 x 40<br />
10 x 40<br />
<br />
[b]Chin ups[/b] - 10, 6, 4<br />
<br />
[b]Dips[/b] - 6, 5, 5<br />
<br />
[b]Pull ups[/b] - 4, 3, 3<br />
<br />
Had to run at that point, scoff dinner and a protein shake, and go to karate. Was a good workout tonight - fairly warm, humid, sweaty.<br />
<br />
After I got home:<br />
<br />
Float 60s, rest 60s<br />
Float 60s, rest 60s<br />
Float 60s, rest 60s<br />
Cat vomits x 12<br />
Yoga stone and Buddha poses. My boy joined me for some of it - he's into meditation, which is weird for an 8yo kid. -

<br />
Would have needed to keep adding, then removing weights. Plus I don't like the Smith. -
Run tonight - 5.06 km in 27:11 followed by a 2.02 km walk in 17:12. Should have really run the whole 7 but I'd just eaten dinner and Mrs TA had to go to the school P&F meeting so time was of the essence. My gut did not enjoy it.<br />
<br />
Got home and did some weights for 10 minutes<br />
Chins x 5<br />
Arnies @ 14 kg x 10<br />
Bent row @ 50 kg x 10<br />
Pull ups x 5<br />
Pushups x 25<br />
Rest 1 min<br />
Repeat -
[quote name='JK' timestamp='1362527460' post='349654']Hadnt thought about using smith machine for my OHP. Have always done it free standing with a barbell.<br />
<br />
So whats the weight difference - ie weight of the bar on the smith machine? Just count the plates?[/quote]<br />
<br />
Weight of the bar on our rack is standard 20 kg. Weight of the bar on the smith is listed at 15 pounds.<br />
<br />
Thing is, if you're not moving thru the vertical plane on the Smith you might be adding more resistance. -
Bike ride tonight for something different - 26.02km in 59:39. Pretty good pace for an old guy on a mountain bike <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
2:17 per km<br />
Average speed 26.17 km/h -
Official weekly weigh in tomorrow... Getting paranoid. Trying to control the eating and have a 10 km run on the schedule for this afternoon.... And maybe a 5 km tomorrow morning ... must crack 90 must crack 90 must crack 90 must crack 90 must crack 90 must crack 90 must crack 90 must crack 90 must crack 90 must crack 90

<br />
90.1, Chest 107, Waist 94, Hips 101.<br />
<br />
So. Fkn. Close. <br />
<br />
Had to diet bloody hard this week to get there, and now I have to be careful I don't overdo Saturday and ruin my digestive tract -
Had a day off yesterday doing family shit and chillin. Chinese for dinner last night, which I accompanied with bourbon. <br />
<br />
Back on the bike today - literally - on a 40 km ride with a mate who lives up the mountains but wanted a look at the local cycling tracks.<br />
<br />
41.27 km in 1:39:20 - average speed 24.93 km/h which is pretty good going for a distance I haven't covered in a while -

Run tonight - 5.02 km in 27:18. Was going to do 10 but Mrs TA had to go out. Good thing too - things started to burble alarmingly about 3 km in and I just made it back in time to use the facilities!<br />

<br />
THe way I dealt with my issues on my longer runs, was to take some laxitive the morning before, so I was running on empty...(puns intended) -
You guys are getting as obsessed with your weight as a whole bunch of women. Tell me, isn't how you feel/look more important ? I'm personally really struggling to get south of 96kg but suit pants/jeans feel great so not too concerned. 90 is hardly obese after all !
-
Yeah look and feel is pretty important, but I've got my bucket list item to check off, and that involves < 90 kg.<br />
<br />
Unless I get to about 85, my look/feel will still be unsatisfactory due to body fat %. I'm still carrying a bit of fat and the loose skin is also becoming an issue. If I drop to 85 then build back up a little, I'll look a hell of a lot better than I do now -
I feel much better than I have in years, am happy where I am with weight as well.<br />
<br />
I will try to maintain things a bit now and stay under 90 while doing a bit more strength stuff and building a little muscle.
