Weak!

christian.dorr@gmail.com (Chris D.) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:57:53 +0000

Somewhere along the way I got weak in the bench and probably every other area. I guess that’s the facts of life and we’ll improve on them. We practically had the gym to ourselves last night. Very nice. I think everyone was out enjoying the wonderful weather that we had. It’s supposed to rain/snow later [...]

Pushing Iron

christian.dorr@gmail.com (Chris D.) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:23:13 +0000

I’m not the strongest guy at the gym, and I probably never will be, but there’s something about pushing around heavier weights that I really enjoy. I can honestly say that since I’ve switched back to trying to get stronger I have enjoyed going to the gym more. I still do kettlebells at home, but [...]

Colds fucking suck

christian.dorr@gmail.com (Chris D.) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:34:00 +0000

I’m back after a 2 week cold…or 1 week and an extra one off to recover. Not sure what I’m going to do, but for right now it’s westside for skinny bastards. I can get in and out with it pretty quickly and I’m adding in HIIT. If I get strong great. If I get leaner [...]

Swings, chin-ups and snatches

christian.dorr@gmail.com (Chris D.) — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:25:49 +0000

I seem to be on the 2 workout a week program for some reason. Part of it had to do with the wife’s birthday on Thursday and something planned for last night. However I did get a workout in this morning and I’m now dripping in sweat. Kettlebells was the name of the game this morning [...]

Back in the gym yesterday. Things felt really good. There was a bit of shoulder pain on the shoulder press so I only did 2 sets vs the 3 that I should have done.

No gym tonight…

christian.dorr@gmail.com (Chris D.) — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 03:03:38 +0000

Didn’t make it to the gym tonight. Wife messed up her knee slipping on ice this morning, so I stayed home and played with my kettlebells. I took them out to the garage where I could do snatches and other stuff. I don’t know exactly what I did, but it was swings (16KG and 20KG), [...]

Powertraining workout 4

christian.dorr@gmail.com (Chris D.) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:01:34 +0000

My shoulder was still bothering me yesterday so the workout was fairly short. I didn’t do any upper body to see what that did. This morning I have no pain in it, so there’s hope that it will be better and I can get back to this program full time. Jump Squats - 4×5 Single Leg Squat [...]

Powertraining Workout 3

christian.dorr@gmail.com (Chris D.) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 03:02:34 +0000

I should have made it into the gym yesterday, but I didn’t. It was a combination of being dead tired after work and a sore shoulder. I haven’t figured out why the shoulder is sore, but it’s something I’m watching cause it hurts! Clean Pull - 5@99,5@109,5@129,5@139 (need to up the weight on this and work [...]

100 Kettlebell Swings

christian.dorr@gmail.com (Chris D.) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 03:16:17 +0000

The last couple of days I’ve just been beat after getting home from work and I’ve not wanted to do anything. Last night I vegged in front of the TV and watched a couple of old episodes of CSI. Tonight was a bit better, but I didn’t make it into the gym. I grabbed the [...]
