Thanks dude! It's been one of my goals since high school, to get into the triple digit DBs! The only problem is that the gym I go to stops at 100s lol.

Going to workout in a bit, gonna squat and deadlift. Not gonna go as heavy on the deads as I did last week because of the horrible back tightness I experienced, but I'll probably stay in the 225-275 range. Those are the only big lifts I wanna do, so I'll probably do whatever else I feel like before doing a circuit. The circuit will be the same as yesterday but with more rounds.

Trying something new today...gonna try and do more cardio and endurance exercises than usual today. I'll try this and see how it goes:
1 min jumping rope, 1 min rest, 10 sets
5-10(depends on muscle failure) pullups, 30 sec rest, 10 sets or as many as possible
10 pushups, 30 sec rest, 10 sets or as many sets as possible
25 Russian twists with a 10 lb medicine ball, 30 sec rest, for 5 sets
I'm gonna hit it heavy tomorrow but I still wanna get some work in today.

That went well...and something like this:

For the pullups I alternated between chins and pulls every set, sets went 9,9,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5 for a total of 58. I know it's not impressive compared to some people bangin out 100 but I was impressed with myself.

Then the pushups..they were interesting. I alternated between normal, diamond, wide, and left/right stagger. At first I thought it was too easy, doing 10 then resting 30 sec. It caught up to me though. By the time I got to my 6th set I hit muscle failure. So I did my 5 sets of Russian twists (weren't that bad) and banged out my last 4 sets of pushups. So I did end up doing all 100. Again I was satisfied with that.

Then the grand finale...the jump rope. By the 6th set I hit a good stride where it became easier, and stayed that way til the 10th set. So I then decided to practice my double unders. Until now I could only do them with a normal jump in between (double, single, double, single etc...) I have some friends who are really into crossfit, and they do them consecutively. Eventually I got into the right rhythm, got the hang of it, and did around 60, consecutively. In my mind I felt like this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXovowbMsLE, but in reality it was this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHTdBQDR9L8, just not as long lol.

I was pretty tired but I feel pretty good now, I love that feeling you get after some good cardio.

Thanks man! I really, really used to hate squatting with a burning passion. I only did it when we had to back in hs, but I've come to realize how important it really is. Benching has always been that one lift where it seems I'm on an endless plateau, pretty frustrating but whatever. I really started getting into jumping rope when I did some research on alternative forms of cardio. I'm not a distance runner at all, so running 1, 2, 5, 10 miles is definitely a no-go. I have been losing some weight, and it all started when I got heavily into the jump rope. I'd never gotten lean from lifting alone, just bigger, so yeah I do see the great things that can come. Plus I feel lighter on my feet lol

I tell you every time I go to the gym draggin-a$$ tired I leave feeling better. Way to push through it.

- Keep it up.
I think that fact alone has actually helped me be consistent. I know that no matter how bad I may be dragging, I'll feel better after an hr or so in the gym.

- and I will :up:

Then I did 10 sets of 25 double unders, totaling 250. MAN was I sweating. And while I was doing them a HB7.5 came over and started stretching by me on the mats (it was pretty hot), and kept looking over at me when she was on the tread mill. If I hadn't been so intensely into my workout I may have started a conversation lol. But nah, the gym is for work in my eyes.
