To the Y, and Beyond!

So yesterday after my guitar lesson I picked up Em and Becca and went to the Y. Becca had trouble with the weights, but she enjoyed ab exercises and treadmill/eliptical. I did a mix of tris, shoulders, and legs, which Em mostly followed, with abs, as always. A lot of times a couldn't do a full 3 sets cause they wanted to do other things, but I did what I could.
Oh yeah I don't know what half these things are called

Rear shoulder DB - 12, 12, 12
Rear Tri DB- 12, 12 12
French Press- 24, 24, 24
DB tri push- 24, 24, 24
Reverse Crunches
Hamstring Leg Lifts- 130, 135, 140
Weighted Side Planks- 10, 10, 10
Swiss Ball leg lifts
Slammers
Push Down Crunches- 63, 68, 73
DB squats- 70, 70, 70
Leg Press- 290, 295, 300!!

We then played basketball for a good amount of time, me vs. them two and some horse. Elmo tried to check me several times but she proceeded to get trucked. After I beat a cocky freshman in a game to 5, we decided to go to dinner at East. I got some good Thai red curry with beef, and the ladies got some sushi. Went back to Elmo's house for an hour and watched Wanted before I left.
Feeling good today, got 11 hours of sleep, made cookies, played guitar. Looking forward.

Determination

Hit up the Y alone today, although I sorta liked it better. I got through everything in an hour, then had a bit of time to throw down some sweet dunks on the 8'. I really love the feeling right after I'm done, but I wish I could do more so I could feel it for longer. More people there today, and that huge guy who kept doing curls with the 40s. Not Clint though, this guy's actually cool.
Today was more bis and abs, plus a bit of random stuff.
Don't know if I have the weights right here.

Bent over rows- 85, 85, 95
Seated rows- 95, 95, 95
Reverse crunches- love the burn
Curls- 30, 30, 30- did much better with the DBs than the machine I used last week
Weighted (10) side planks
Hammer curls 30, 30, 30- my left arm is weak
lat pulls- 95, 100, 105
push down crunches 58, 63, 63
pull up/chin up combo
leg press- 275, 280, 290

im likin it, looking forward to friday, but i'll fill in tomorrow too with some chest and butterflies
don't stop

So it begins

Today was a pretty sweet day. I don't have much work, that's why I'm writing this. Hit up the Y today for the first time, and after negotiating my atypical sign-up (apparently you're supposed to have a debit card or something) took the stairs as our warm up.... yep. Started working the iron, just following whatever Squeevle told me to do. Ab exercises are fun, but my abs are pretty good as as. Although I must say those reverse crunches got pretty painful. Arm stuff got progressively more difficult as it went on, but you just push through. This huge kid was trying to look all chill and blastin' music, but we knew that we were ripped enough that we didn't need that show. That's why those awkward sophomores were lookin' at us weird. Even the old Asian lady was impressed. Anyway, I generally did things 5-10 lbs lighter than squeeve, which feels okay for me.
I then went to a little dinner party, and just ate a ton. Pasta with meat left and right, plus sausage and peppers. I don't need no wimpy salad.
Right after, my arms just felt dead, but they're alright now. Except I just tried to play guitar, and it really is not fun. I have a feeling that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. (between me and the weights)

Bent Over Rows - 80lbs, 80lbs, 90lbs
Seated Rows - 80lbs, 90lbs, 100lbs
Reverse Crunches
Dumbbell Curls - 30lbs, 30lbs, 30lbs
Slammers
Pullup/Chinup Combo --- deadly
Recline Rope
Lat Pulldown - 100lbs, 100lbs, 100lbs
Hammer Curls - 25lbs, 20lbs, 20lbs

Les Monts Vertes

In Vermont right now for break. They do not have any workout station here, but never fear. I brought my new dumbells along with me and was doing sets of 30 reps x 8 lbs the whole car-ride. And they have 1 dumbell of 25 lbs, and I can manage a few sets of 10 reps on that. We're expecting to go skiing at some point, but right now we're just relaxing and playing co-op FIFA. January approacheth.

not doing well

I am not feeling good. My stomach hurts a lot.
I've barely had time to do any fitness stuff. Filming this movie's taking up all my time, and I can't get any work done. Plus, I pretty much opted out of chem league cause I couldn't go to take the tryout test.
Family's home, including brother, sister, and grandfather. Hopefully some break time will help. Not very optimistic right now.
Later.

Day Tues

Had plenty of extra time today, so worked out a lot. Upper body stuff:
2 x 3 sets x 12 reps chest press 116 lb
2 x 3 x 12 chest press 125 lb
2 x 3 x 10 butterfly 60 lb
3 x 3 x 10 lat pull 120 lb
2 x 3 x 12 curl 63 lb

As soon as I'm done writing this I'm off to do air alert. I'm gonna shortchange the first two weeks to catch up to john, so im doing week one yesterday and today, then wed and thurs i'll do week 2 and take fri off. I'll do weights 3-4 days a week, sometimes on weekends.
Drink egg nog, it's delicious. And I'm working on a fruppa recipe.

I'm the Hiphopopotamus, my lyrics are bottomless... ... ... .

New Week

So after a relatively restful weekend, I'm back. The weekend was pretty good until Sunday, when I realized there's no way in hell I can finish all the work that was assigned to me. Phelan is just killing me, and my french grade too as I found out. So I can't take long to write this since I have a bit more work to do.
I didn't have time to work out today, but I just finished the first day of the first week of air alert. I figure I'll get back into that since I have more time to do it this year, and it really helped last year. I can already feel a bit of stress on my muscles, but it won't start adding up until next week at the earliest.
Looking forward to the holidays, when maybe I can sleep. I wish I could just pause time to catch up on everything. I'm just so exhausted and overworked. Volleyball tomorrow.
