PM:  2×30min heavy bag (thai)

Notes:

Felt like a warmed over turd yesterday.  At times I’m not even sure it was warmed over.  Major assness.  Today I wasn’t great but better than I was so I figured I’d give it a go and maybe turn in a little early today.

In other news I went to a welcome home party last night and ended up winning a laptop.  That’s pretty cool!

am:  yoga

still no gym time.  In hindsight it might work out OK.  Spend a couple weeks getting used to the cardio centric approach before adding more stuff.  We’ll see.

New Day

Filed under: journal — asayers99 @ 10:54 pm

Did a little workout this morning.  Was expecting to get in a strength training session this evening but that didn’t work out.  Over all it was a pretty good beginning.

AM 1:  Jog 3mi (untimed)

AM 2:  Pyramid Circuit

It’s a little harder to describe than it really was to do.  5 sets of 10 pushups\situps, run .5mi, 4 sets of 10pushups\situps, run .5mi, 3 sets of 10 pushups\situps, run .5mi……and so on.

60min of yoga

Notes:
A long day of sitting through meetings. While technically awake, I was brain dead for most of it. It made for a very non-motivated after work experience. The yoga was a way to do something that I needed to do (stretch) while and not totally flush the day.

A little change of pace…even though there wasn’t really a pace to begin with…on the lifting. I picked a heavy weight (for me) and just did 10 reps in how ever many sets that it took to do it. The point with the lifting is really to get to a happy spot…maintain…build a little maybe until I can really settle into a pattern, which isn’t looking to happen any time soon unfortunately.

Squat @ 235
Cable Row @ 160
Bench @ 185

1hr on the eliptical @ 140bpm give or take

notes:
I was waaay sore by the time evening came around.  I was looking over at (a guy that was fresh and I’d never seen) this fella knowing that I was getting ready to get my ass kicked and thought to myself “Fuck you, you bastard.  Give me what you got”.  And he did.  That whole karma thing from damn near retarding the guy on monday.  I went down once and went down hard enough that, that was that.  I was coherent but my legs were jelly and not in the mood to move. :D

falling behind.

Work has been pretty extreme lately.  Not that I’m “working”, but I’m just physically involved a lot.  Training has been pretty lax and I’ve been gorging after my PT test.  Mmmm.

Monday was a hard boxing session.  Lot’s of motivation from me for whatever reason.  Today was a big ice storm so no PT this morning.  I was sore and sluggish for boxing today.  We have two coaches.  One is a fairly skilled coach that really has us work on technique and gives a lot of feedback and helps us learn what we’re doing.  The other just throws us in the deep end and has us work hard.  Lots of comments that we don’t know what we’re doing, which I concede, but I don’t know how we’re supposed to know what we’re doing when he’s the jackass that’s teaching us.

Today’s session was intended to be harder but motivation wasn’t particularly screaming.  We sparred.  I spar the coach (we all do) and he just beats my ass.  He definitely holds back but he still beats my ass.  I actually was able to spar someone my size (the coach is 3-4″ taller and 20-30lbs heavier…at least).  Delivered my first knockdown.  I don’t think I was really better than he is, but I wasn’t afraid of him.  Caught him with a strait then later in the round a hook put him down pretty hard.  The good coach said that my left hook is my “go to” weapon…sure as shit it connected hard right on the ear.  We had another round later and I felt bad, I think he probably got a mild concussion.  Why they kept having him go I’ll never know, but it didn’t feel good seeing any mildly hard shot was wobbling him.  In other news I landed my first uppercut.  It doesn’t make for a good story but I’m proud of myself.  It’s not a familiar or natural feeling punch.

I’m thinking I’ll start putting more misc non workout related stuff up here.  I don’t have a ton of time to do reviews at the moment and it might make for something mildly more entertaining to read (and write) than plain ol workout journal stuff.
