So this is liveJournal. Ho-hum. I don't see that there's much different from other blogging sites, including myspace. I guess this will be a more public venue for my mind to wander than on my myspace page. Mostly I guess I can post up my weightlifting routine and get some feedback on it.
If I stick to my goals, I'll be lifting every other day, regardless of what day that might actually be. I'll also be riding my bike to the gym. This weekend I'll attempt something stupid and try to ride to my new office in Beaverton, OR. Depending on the route I take, it's 8 - 12 miles one way. Hopefully this open blog will allow me to be publicly accountable. Basic goal for summer exercising: I want to be down to a size 34 (currently a size 35) pant and bench 180# and squat ATG 210#. Is this unreasonable?
Today's routine was moderate (# Reps x # Sets):
On the hundred pushups plan, I expect this week to be easy. I normally bang out 20/set when rested. I was able to do the requirements of the far right column & 20 pushups on the final set. I fully expect this plan to get harder. After all, it is a program designed to get the user to do a hundred pushups in a single set within 6 weeks. I'm really curious about it. I learned of it from J.D. at getfitslowly. He also writes a blog about personal finance - one of the many PF blogs I've been reading. I'll get into my PF goals and plans on another entry. I'm going to be making sure my friend![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
prettyrach is on the ball with this too. There, I called you out!
