Timed Workouts
When doing circuit training, a stopwatch or timer is your best friend. I typically like to use 1 minute per exercise for a total of 5 exercises, with 5 minutes per set and 1 minute rests in between. When you don’t have that option of timing your workouts, the next best thing is [...]
Chicken Legs
No matter how hard I work out my legs, they will always be referred to as “chicken legs”, and as much as I used to hate it, it doesn’t even bother me anymore. There is absolutely nothing that I can do to get rid of that moniker.
Why do I say there is absolutely [...]
High and Mighty Chest
It’s odd how on Monday, which is a universal chest day at gyms everywhere, the gym is usually packed, but this week it was dead. You couldn’t beg people to work out on the benches to do chest, which for the beginning of the year, is strange. Unfortunately on Tuesday, every bench in the gym [...]
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 [...]
Chest in the New Year
This week’s chest workout was a basic workout.
I was pretty tired from a hectic vacation and going to bed really late for the past few nights, so my circadian rhythm was off. I was worn out, didn’t eat that well for the past week, and just all around felt lazy and depleted.
Unfortunately, James felt the [...]
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 [...]

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.
My workout consisted of:
Wide Grip Pull Ups
4 sets x 10 reps
Bent Over Barbell Rows
135 x 14 reps
135 x 12 reps
185 x 10 reps
225 x 10 reps
Hammer Machine Pull Downs
(2) 45 [...]
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 [...]
