Monday - 08_24_08 Chest & Back Workout

Road my bike 1 mile to my parents' house where my workout equipment is (not enough floor space at our house) and did the following Chest and Back workout:

Standard Push Ups - 20 reps
Wide Pull Ups - 6 full extension reps
Military Push Ups- 18 reps
Reverse Grip Pull Ups - 6 full extension reps

Break - 45 sec

Wide Push Ups - 20 reps
Overhand Close Grip Pulls - 7 full extension reps
Decline Push Ups- 15 reps
Heavy Pants - 15 reps @ 35lb dumbbells

Break - 45 sec

Diamond Push Ups - 12 reps
Lawnmowers - 20 reps @ 35lb each side
Divebomber Push Ups - 10 reps
Back Flys - 15 reps @ 20lb dumbbells

Break - 45 sec

Wide Pull Ups - 2 full extension, 7 assisted
Standard Push Ups - 20 reps
Reverse Grip Pull Ups - 15 assisted
Military Push Ups - 15 reps on my knees

Break - 45 sec

Overhand Close Grip Pulls - 10 assisted
Wide Push Ups - 20
Heavy Pants - 15 reps@ 35lb dumbbells

Break - 45 sec

Lawnmowers - 20 reps @ 35lb dumbbells

Totals:

Notes:
- Full extension pull ups means I am going all the way down to a full hang position before pulling back up, no bent arms at the bottom position.
- Need to increase weights on lawnmowers, back flys and heavy pants

Beginning Measurements and Photos. August 23, 2008

Here are my measurements - I wish I had my measurements at the end of the "contest" to compare to, but I deleted the voting site before double checking if I had the measurements here as well.

Chest: 41" 46"
Waist: 37" 31"

Below are photos from almost exactly one year ago (August 9th, 2007) and photos from today (August 23rd, 2008) - you can see why I am needing to get going again.


And here's some other views- noticeable lapses: lats/chest and loooooove handles.

Day One and Day Two workouts - measurements coming soon

So yesterday (Friday) I did a one hour boxing/martial arts workout - working on my punches, kicks, blocks, etc. I was focused on form and endurance. It was one hour straight with a total of five minutes rest time sprinkled throughout.

Today I did a 45 minute Cardio routine:

Yoga for 15 minute warm-up

Plyometrics:
30 sec Airborne Heisman x 2
30 sec Swingkicks X 2
30 sec Jumshots x 2
30 sec Tires X 2
30 sec "Wacky Jacks" X 2

A little more Kenpo

Then finished off with some core:

30 reps Squat Presses (last 10 squat jumps)
50 reps Locomotive Crunches
1 minute Squat Run
1 minute alternating Superman/Banana
1 minute Dreya Rolls

Just for me . . .

I don't anyone is still checking the site, so its becoming my workout journal and tracker. Since the contest I've lost 13 lbs (not good, since it was muscle weight lost)and "shrunk" a bit, so I am back at it, but without the contest or anything else involved. I'm going to post my workouts each day on here and track my results with measurements and photos every two weeks. Its odd to start on a Friday, but I don't want to do the "I'll start on Monday" thing.

Good luck to me!

This is just for fun VOTING LINK and pics are to the right and in the posting PRIOR to this one

So in January of 2006 I started working out again, and was pretty off and on for that entire year, so thankfully Chad had this great idea to do this competition and to do it online where humiliation would be our motivation. Whatever the results of this ends up being it definitely served its purpose in keeping both of us in check and working out often. Just for kicks I've posted the pics I took way back in January 2006 and compared them to now. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VOTING! Please just vote off of the before and after pics on the link in the posting below, but I was looking at these and am pretty proud of how far I've come in the last 1.5 years.

Thanks again for everyone's support.

Voting time everyone

Hey there, here is the link to the new site www.flabbycage.blogspot.com Read the newest posting, check out the photos and make your vote on the right side of the page. THANKS!

Two Weeks from Voting/Warning to Flabby Chad

So after much delay (Kevin having a baby, Chad in school, vacations, illnesses, etc.) we are locked in to take the final photos on September 10th, 2007. Voting will commence on September 11th. There will be links to the voting website on both of our blogs. More on that when we get there. But here are my before and now pics as of tonight August 29th . . . Chad told me when I saw him last to make sure I saved enough to take him out . . . think again my friend.

No niceties until this is over from here on out . . . smeer campaigning and all! Hahaha.

THANKS for everyone's patience. The saga is coming to a close soon. Look forward to the results "whatever they may be" :-)

LOL
