Monday - 400 reps! - 4th and Final Week!

Well today I completed my 400 reps attempting to beat my times from last week. I have been making big gains over the last 3 weeks, but was I doing it too well? Was it possible to beat the times? Well let's see....

100 squats last week - 5:23

100 Leg raises last week - 3:41

100 Blue Band presses last week - 3:06

100 Green band Press downs last week - 2:49

Total workout time 19:55, including short breaks between exercises

Well I pushed myself as hard as I could today... here are the results.

100 Squats - 4:11

100 Knee Raises- 3:18

100 Blue Band Presses - 2:11

100 Green Band Pull downs - 2:02

15:51 Total time with short rests!

Well I was happy with the results, if you look back 4 weeks to when I started this, the times have dropped significantly!

Next week I will be doing 3 new moves, and I will ramp up the challenge! I may not even get the 100 reps in 10 mins for some of them! We shall see!

Hostyle Workout - Group class - Legs, Legs, Legs

Today was the Hostyle conditioning class... Wow my legs are done, Abs and upper body is kinda sore actually as well. haha

Here was the routine:

30 seconds of each.

Squats

Push ups

Prisoner Squats

lunges

Planks

lunges

Overhead weighted Squats

Push presses

Overhead weighted Lunges

Squat Thrusters

We did 3 rounds of this craziness with 1 minute of breaks after each complete round.

Once this was done, and so were we, we then did...

25 leg raises, followed by planks of all types, 1 arm, 1 leg, alternating with elbow planks, and full pressed planks for a minute or 2...

Then we repeated this again.

That was it...thank god

Strength Workout - Bench

Worked on Bench again as usual on Friday...

10 reps with BAR

6 reps @ 95

4 reps @ 125

1 @ 135

1 @ 145

Attempted 155 a couple of times, was close, but working on technique, I may hit it.

did some reps @ 115 and 125 working on technique.

Did 1 arm presses with 35lb db 10 reps a side for 2 sets, then 6 reps perfectly for 1 set.

Next week I will be doing 10 reps with lighter weight for 3 sets, then doing muscle specific strength training. Triceps will be first.

Cardio Day - Stationary Bike

Worked hard on the bike today. Pounded out over 11km's. Good sweat.

Today was doctor visit day for a checkup. I am now down to 1 hyper tension pill. Not bad from 5 pills a day!

Waiting on Blood results. Had most of my blood drained lol, so should know if I'm healthy or not this week. Hopeful it will be fine. Will update the blog either way.

Hostyle Workout - One on One "To the End"

Today was my one on one with Curd and it was the most challenging I have ever attempted.

I found it to be really challenging!

25 Burpees

50 Push ups

75 Squats

100 Sit ups

75 Squats

50 Push ups

25 Burpees

I was toast at the end of this routine. The last 25 burpees were slow and painful LOL.

Managed to get through it in 29:54, just under my 30 min goal haha!

I also of course had my weigh in today. I lost a total of .2 pounds this week! haha, well I'll take it, at least its still a loss. Curd figures muscle gains this week influenced the weigh in. Next week will be interesting I think. Sticking to the MAN diet and workouts should get me under the 330 mark, so I hope! I will achieve that mark, and soon.

Soon I will be at the 320 mark and win the contest. I am still way out in front, so day by day we go!

Cardio Day - Stationary Bike

Hit the bike, watched How I Met Your Mother and pounded out 10.65km's

Good Sweat, felt good :)

Tomorrow is weigh in, hoping for 320's haha. We shall see...

Monday - 400 reps! - 3rd Week

This was my 3rd week for the 100's of Squats, Leg raises, Blue band press and green band press downs.

My goal again was to improve on my times from last week. I knew this would be challenge, as I crushed the 1st week times last week.

Well here are my results.

Squats Last week 5:48, this week 5:23

Leg Raises, last week 4:22, this week 3:41

Blue band presses, last week 3:46, this week 3:06

Green band press downs, last week 2:47, this week 2:49.. I have to admit I was toast at this point due to the advances I pushed out with the previous 3 exercises. No excuse, I will try to better it next week.

Next week will be the last week of these 4 moves. I will then to 4 weeks of 3-4 new motions. I plan on making the moves more challenging for the next ones. Stay tuned for what they are in the next 2 weeks.
