Morning Basketball

Thanks to my sprints I felt pretty sluggish and played that way too. I always have fun no matter what though.

100 Pushups, glut and sprints.

Threw the frisbee and ran and caught it for about 40 minutes. I did NOT end up hitting myself in the business this time so I felt pretty great about that!

Back and Biceps

Had a great workout and even had time to do some focused ab work.

100 Pushups and yard work

Not sure yard work counts but I'm journaling it anyway. My mower sucks and I have a big yard so there ya go.

Basketball and Chest Workout.

Had a REALLY good day! Started out playing basketball and I felt like I was in a zone, not THE zone of course, but A zone of reasonable competency... I'll take it. I have to give credit to the energy boost/amino acid mix I got the other day. 4 small scoops of that stuff and I'm flyin' high at 6 am!

Later in the day I did a chest shoulders, tricep workout. I benched 175. A new high for me. Almost to my body weight. I've always wanted to be able to bench my body weight and I'm almost there, five more pounds!

100 Pushups and a glut workout

Had a pretty busy day so I barely had time to get my 100 pushups in and a 6 minute glut workout.

Basketball and Other Stuff

Good morning all in all.  Felt like I actually contributed! First morning taking my energy amino acids and it seemed to work.

5 Miles

Decided to put on the running shoes. I started out pretty ambitiously and ended up with a humbling time and a sore recovery to go with it. Time to start getting in gear for some quick short summer runs. Here's the link

Chest, shoulders and Triceps.

Good workout. Felt like I could push it. That's a great feeling. Did a bunch of yard work when I got home.

Morning Basketball. And 100 pushups

Not a bad morning. Despite the fact that I had some pain in the neck area, I made all my layups and had no airballs. *shrugs.

Did 100 pushups later on in the day.

Frisbee Sprints and Pushups

Did 100 pushups before I went to the park. When I got to the park I took an ultimate frisbee and threw it up in the air and into the wind and then sprinted to catch it. I was planning on doing this for an hour.
After about 35 minutes I threw a particularly steep and high throw and due to the sweat on my hands, when it came down it slipped through my hands and proceeded to hit me right in the business. I immediately crumpled to the ground and then quickly got up and retreated to my car for a couple minutes while I gathered myself and my dignity.
I finished the hour without too much pain. Now, I'm sitting on the couch and lamenting the fact that I did not catch that frisbee.

Morning Basketball

Absolutely NO feel for the shot today. Beyond frustrating. Decent defense and no real fatigue at all.

Back and Biceps

Had a good session with the back and biceps. Trying to unlock some gains on my lats.
Worked in some ab and glut exercises as well.

Morning Basketball and a chest workout.

Played basketball in the morning. Not too bad, had some decent drives, no shots that I can remember went in. Felt awake and loose for the most part. 

In the afternoon, I got to get a chest, shoulders and tricep workout in. I feel like I'm progressing although slowly.

Morning Basketball

Played some basketball this morning. It was an average morning. I was productive and that's fine with me. I can tell that some of my cardio is dropping off. I need to get back to running.

100 Pushups

Did 100 pushups. That's pretty much it, I only did that because I was going swimming with the family and wanted that post pushup look lol. 

Friday, June 5, 2015

Back and Biceps.

Had a great workout that was productive and showed gains. Also, I biked everywhere I went today so that was probably a total of 9 miles. Not much but better than driving!

Basketball

Have been fighting this stupid congestion since May 18. Keeps hanging on, so I guess I'm partly blaming that on that the fact that I was utterly useless at basketball this morning. Still angry about it.

100 Pushups and uh yard work?

Did my 100 pushups and then did a bunch of yard work. That counts at my age right?

Morning Basketball

Not enough sleep but I played anyway. It was a solid hour with no breaks so that was good. Had a decent time putting shots in close to the rim.

Chest Day.

Had a solid workout. Worked chest, shoulders and triceps. Seeing some gains and noticing I'm able to hold form a little better.

Treadmill Running - 1 hour

So tough for me. I feel like I barely made it an hour. 8 minute miles basically. Not happy about it really at all. Makes me want to get out...
