Going Strong

I haven't created a post in a while. This doesn't mean that I haven't been working out. Check it out.

Box Squats - I am doing these for the fist time so I started with the bar then managed to go up to 275lbs for 2 reps, 2 sets. I'm not sure if I'm doing them right. I'll have to confirm when I get back home. For now I'll just keep hammer'n.

Deadlifts - 3 sets, 315lbs 2 reps, 405lbs 1 rep, 405lbs 1 rep.
Rack Pulls - 4 sets 495lbs, 585lbs, 635lbs (fail), 585lbs.

Varrious Ab Exercises.

All in all the work out was good. The rack pulls were a bit deeper than I normally go hense the drop in weight. After weights I went for a walk.

At 0430 this morning I managed to haul my ass out of bed to go for a jog. I jog (try to) 10 minutes out then walk/run back. Today I was able to jog for 10 minutes straight before turning around and coming back. In total it took 24 1/2 minutes and I jogged 12 minutes of that. Not bad for a guy who hates running and weighs 300lbs. I'm going to keep at it. By the end of my two months here I should beable to run the full 20 minutes at a pretty good pace.

I plan on working out later today so I'll post again with today's Speed Squat/Deadlift work out.
