( See all Rants,Running,Strength Exercises entries here)

As I have written in my previous post I’ve been having problems with pain in my left foot due to compensating for pain in my knee. The pain has gotten so bad in my foot that I haven’t done any cardio for the past two days. Instead I’m sporting a sandal at work just to [...]

Since my running took up my entire lunch I have to start doing weights after work. I did my two exercises with relative ease and I rushed home for the weekend. Incline Press 3×10 @ 100lbs Decline Press 3×10 @ 100lbs

Today I went out for lunch so I didn’t have time to do the weights then. Then I had to leave work early to meet someone at the house so I had to do it real quick right before I left the place but I got it in nevertheless. I have also played with the [...]

Today was chest day. I usually do my strength training over lunch but today I spent most of my time at lunch with cardio so I had to do it after work. My weights were solid I did feel a bit weak but the weights got lifted as planned. I even upped the weight on [...]

Today was my first back day in a long-long time. But it went great. I really had a good time, I concentrated on having plenty of rest between sets, time permitting, and my lifts were good. I did 120 lbs on the lat pulldown which felt just right and I did my usual 130 lbs [...]

I’m not even sure if I should put it here, but I guess I did do some strength training. Since I’m off from work I don’t have access to the machines that I usually use. It was supposed to be a chest day today so I did some push-ups. I have tried to do push-ups [...]

Today’s chest exercise went well. It was pretty easy and simple but I think I have noticed that my arms weren’t level when I did butterflies before. So today I have concentrated on fixing that. My bench press went OK, I have used a wider grip and I could feel my shoulders working harder. Bench [...]

I haven’t lifted since last Thursday as I was sick on Friday and didn’t go to work. Since this is a short week I really have to make every session count at work. I had to run Christmas errands at lunch so I ended up doing strength training after work. I felt pretty weak and [...]
