Monday, July 4, 2011, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! Hope everyone is having a great day!

If you are posting for the first time, or new to the community, please review the community's standards, below.


1. Mod (that's me!) will post a Daily Check In post, for those who prefer to note their daily activities in response to a prompt. Please only place exercise comments here.

2. All members are encouraged to post daily independent posts about their activities, if they prefer that to a prompt.

3. Please place any NON-EXERCISE comments in independent update posts and behind a cut. Some people are sensitive to discussion of diet and nutrition. That is integral to many people's exercise activities, so I want members to be able to discuss that, but for those who are here strictly to log exercise, I would like them to be able to avert their eyes.

4. Everyone is encouraged to introduce themselves, discuss their exercise goals, and post updates on their activities. "I finally made it to running a mile!" or "I kicked up into handstand today!" are updates that we all want to hear about and share! Please put long posts and entries involving diet and nutrition behind a cut, though.

5. Aside from intro posts and injury announcements, please try to include an exercise update in every post.

Early morning boot camp class.

Weights: increased everything.

Goblet squat: 10kg, 2 sets, 10 reps. I'll add some more weight next time.
Bench press: 1st set, 3 reps with 15kg dumbbells, 7 reps with 12.5kg dumbbells. 2nd set, couldn't lift the 15kg dumbbells at all, 8 reps with 12.5kg dumbbells.
Rows: 17.5kg, 2 sets, 10 reps, very achievable. I think I might go up to 20 next time, just to see what happens. I can always drop back down if it doesn't work.
Shoulder press: 1st set, 10kg, 10 reps, but the final rep was more like a clean and jerk. 2nd set, 10kg, 2 reps and oops, that's all she wrote.
Plank: 2 sets, 90 seconds.

Now my arms and shoulders are basically molten lava.

That's a lot of weight!

Stage 3, NRoLfW, first B workout.

[smackshack]

Walked for an hour around the neighborhood.

still stiff and sore from yesterday's swimming, and the humidity is kicking my ass, so abreviated workout today:

Abominals, and 1 mile on the treadmill at 2.4mph.

Morning yoga, three and a half hours climbing on the southern sandstone, considerable walking.

(One shredded wrist falling out of a hand jam, one crick in my neck from hitting the ground hard, more nettle stings and bramble scratches than I can be bothered to count. Sand everywhere. Totally worth it.)

[lyorn]

8 km bicycling.

Unintended Rest Day. Little one isn't feeling well, so we'll see how tomorrow goes.
