26th of August, 2013 — Workout — 8-Count Burpees, One-Leg Romanian Deadlifts, Rows, Iron Mikes, Straight Leg Raises

My fellow Convicts,

How’re you all doing today? I’d have to say it’s another excellent day to get some training in, dont you? I didnt get to do my normal routine, but nonetheless it was a decent workout. Nice to mix things up a bit occasionally anyway!

Hey, I found an awesome deal ~20% off Olympic Rings, if anyone’s interested – Check it –> HERE

Today’s workout, as I mentioned, wasn’t my usual routine. It was also torrential raining on us the entire time. Kind of got my phone wet, which pisses me off. Hopefully the ol’ let it soak in rice overnight will fix it up. Had a nice group of people to workout with me today. The meetup.com group I’ve is gaining more traction. I had five people show up today! Getting closer and closer to getting my own training off the ground.

Anyway, time for dinner so here’s what we did today! ( I didnt have any of my usual electronics to keep track of the reps for today unfortunately, all you get is the workouts )

STAY STRONG!

27th of January, 2013 — Workout — Pushups ( With bars ), Dips, Squats

Hey Convicts!

Good ol’ working out. Gotta love it 🙂 Today’s workout routine was Tabata’s. The start of week eight of You Are Your Own Gym. Only a couple more weeks left! I really like these last four weeks, because for one thing, they’re five days a week, and they mix up the routines. Monotony is a motivation killer for me!

I think my Pushups might’ve suffered a bit because I did some yesterday also. I messed up the timing a bit with missing my workout on Friday. Ah well, still cranked them out. The last few sets were rough, but thankfully it’s only for 20s at a time.

How’s your progress coming along?
