The New Year’s Rush
Being in the gym yesterday, I was very surprised to see it wasn’t as crowded as I thought it would be. Typically, the first few weeks of the year, everyone and their mother start going to the gym for their New Year’s resolution. They’re motivated, inspired, re-invigorated and ready to lose the fat they’ve been [...]
Xmas Week Chest Workout
This week’s chest workout was getting back to basics. I’ve been lifting pretty heavy consistently now for the past few months so I thought that I would change it up to work on endurance by utilizing higher reps and lower weight. I did cardio first today to get thoroughly warmed up.
Cardio – Treadmill run
0-5 minutes [...]
Switching up the Leg workout this week
For the past few months, every leg workout I have done has been extremely grueling, almost to the point where I either want to faint or vomit. All that wear and tear isn’t good on the joints, so this week I switched up the workout.
Leg Extensions
130 lbs x 12 reps
130 lbs x 12 reps
150 lbs [...]

Leg Day W/O 12/15
The leg workout this week has left my legs messed up. They’re super tight, extremely sore, and have been getting worse and worse as the hours fly by. This week’s workout was a doozy.
3 sets at 180 lbs on the leg press. I did 12 reps per set.
Squats were next.
I did my normal 4 [...]
Back Workout
Yesterdays back workout has left my back very stiff today. I probably should have stretched a bit because I am paying the price for it today.

135 x 14 reps
135 x 12 reps

The Double Drop Set!
The leg workout we did was a great one. I definitely feel stronger each week due to heavy squats.
To warm up, we did 180lbs on the leg press for the first set. For sets 2 and 3 we repped out 270lbs for 12 reps per set. Once the warm up was done, we moved right [...]
Excited for squats! Am I weird?
Today is another vicious leg day workout. My workout partners James and B.J. know what’s in store for later on this evening when we meet at the gym. I just hope they had a big lunch to give them enough energy to carry them through the workout.
I am actually looking forward to hitting the gym [...]
