I missed a couple of weeks of training due to travel for work. I don't have any more travel scheduled for the next 2 months, so I should be able to make some headway, barring injury. The portable...

I've been doing some swimming lately, as I'm going to take a SCUBA certification class in a few weeks. I've been taking it slow, adding a couple of laps per session. Today was my fourth session and...

It was less hot out last night so I decided to workout in my garage. I much prefer my own bar (not bent) and plates (not octagonal) to the community gym's.

Last nights training:
I'm starting to shift from SS novice to GSLP, mostly because I want to do some swimming and GSLP is easier to incorporate other activities into.

The gym was packed last night. There was a gang of teenage guys doing weighted quarter pull-ups on the squat rack. They cleared out fairly quickly once I parked my crap next to the rack.

I've missed a couple of workouts due to softball games. I joined midseason so there are only a few games left. Soon it will be too hot to do anything outside. I did train last night, though.

I split up the workout tonight, doing squat and bench at the community gym then finishing with deadlifts and leg lifts in my garage. I'm putting pull-ups on hold until I stop deadlifting every other...

It was in the mid-90's today so no garage training. Off to the community gym.

No issues other than I can't seem to keep my knees symmetrical, which no doubt is related to my...

84 degrees out today, with a nice breeze. It was a little stale in the garage, but it was nice overall.

I warmed up with Defranco's agile 8. That really loosened up my hips and back. I'm going...

Hi Gator, where in Maine are you? I'm taking my family to Bath for a week this summer. We plan on doing plenty of kayaking and other outdoor activities.

I've been drinking about s half gallon of milk a day for the past few days. My belt is already getting tight.
I'm still doing vanilla SS and loving it.

I weighed in today for the first time in a while. My weight is sown to 185, which is the lightest I have been in over 3 years. It looks like I have room for milk!

I use gym geek. It lets you do all the stuff you want, including the graphs. There is a free version that lets you create 4 workouts and a $1.99 version.

97 degrees today, so I started my workout at the community gym. It's a nice gym, except for the octagonal plates. I did my squats and bench sets there, then ran home for dead lifts in my very warm...

Since I didn't recover any better with the box squats than free squats, I took some weight off the bar and went back to basic SS. I know that works.

I had a lot of trouble recovering from my last workout. DOMS in my adductors was brutal. I'm going to give box squats a try for a few weeks and see if I can recover any better, or at least not get...

I was supposed to do box squats and deadlifts the other night. During my warm up my right adductor was killing me, so I bailed on the workout. Tonight I got back to it, using the basic SS template,...

I'm suffering from DOMS from squats. I'm very glad I don't have to squat tonight.
