my lower left back and chest was twinging bad last night. it was weird.



Are you drinking enough/too much water?

Did it feel like muscle cramping, or just muscle twitching, or just a general pain.

it was a definite twitching. it didn't hurt at all. just feels weird. it happened again today in my chest a lot even when i would just cross my arms. and when i did leg lifts on the captain chair my lower left back started twitching again. i dunno if i should keep working until it stops or what. it doesn't hurt though. just, never felt this before.

If it becomes painful, back off a little.

ok. i think it might be b/c i've had quite a bit of caffine in me since last night (hence the non-sleeping) so maybe i should drink more water?


2/15/05
Tuesday
home
4:30-5:00p

I ran!!!! I ran a 2:50 400 and then I ran 11 sprints up this hill in my neighborhood. I don't know how far it was but from a GK it looked a little less than midfield. Then I split the distance into 4 parts and ran a suicide before I ran a 2:50 400 back. I was so tired but so proud of myself! I much prefer sprints to long distance. I read in ESPN mag today that genetically some people are programed for sports like sprinting and football because they have 2 of this gene that codes for fast-twitch muscle fibers and some people don't have them and are more built for endurance. I definitely think I'm one of the former. I don't mind sprinting as much b/c of the great recovery and it only last a little while and then you get to rest. Man I can't for the life of me go out if I think i'm going to have to run strait for 20 min. I hate running the 3 min to my hill! I wonder if it's ok to run different kinds of sprints but just stay away from the long distance. I know it's good and everything but it totally sux. Definitely the week point in my life.lol when people ask me what I can't do I always say "run." They think it's funny but it's true. When I'm in a group I run with the fat people. It sux b/c I excel at everything else. But I guess I'll just take it in baby steps. Maybe a little running everyday will eventually add up to a lot running later. Let's hope!

there was nowhere to do it. the weight room was closed. plus, what kind of circuit training would one do for shoulders/traps/wrists?

haha. yea. in class i'll just start lifting my desk repeatedly.lol

2/17/05
Thursday
5th period

can't go to ski club. too much homework. I have a test to study for 6th. I've already taken 3 and bombed my math one b/c i've been napping in class.
here's what i did this period.

ez curls (close) 4x8-25
ez curls (wide) 4x8-35
db curls 4x8-15
incline db curls 3x8-12 1x20-12

sometimes if i'm still good on the last rep of the last set i'll just go to failure. on those inclines if i had concentrated i probably could've gone to 25. I'm doing tris 8th and then i'm not lifting tomorrow because of my AFROTC interview. I'll be dressed up all day and I don't want to go lift and mess up my hair or something. I've eaten 4 rather small pieces of cheese pizza today. ok i must study!

What you getting all dressed up for? Who you trying to impress? Smile

Whatever you do, don't tell him how much you bench - you'll make them feel inferior.

i'll make them feel inferior b/c i bench 65 lbs??!! haha. i don't think i'd ever date a guy who couldn't bench more than that. but i gave up guys for lent so i don't have to worry about that right now.lol.

I went to the Y and that is def not my kind of place. there were 3 benches, only one of those was an incline so i had to wait to use it. no squat racks. 2 ez bars. but the place was huge! just a bunch of people on cardio machines. Smile but i did manage to get something done. I wanted to do back but there wasn't anything to use for it. oh yea! and there was only 1 set of weights for every level like 1 set of 30s 1 set of 35s. it was crazy! and i had to wait for this guy toget done with the 25s he was using for shrugs so i could do my db presses.lol. and he was a normal looking college dude too. i was like 'why are you doing shrugs with 50lbs???' lol oh well i didn't actually say anything.

and then i was working out with the girl who brought me and she doesn't know anything about lifting but i played soccer with her and so she's not super-weak or anything and i was benching 65 and i asked her if she wanted to give it a try so i spotted her and she could only press it once and we were both laughing about it and some guy comes over and is like. "that's too heavy for you. you should start with the bar and add weight and you should never add weight until you can do it 10 times." i was like 'what?!' like he's right that you should start low and add weight but it's not like it killed her and she prob could have pressed it again and i was spotting her and what is with this '10 times' nonsense. i can't press 75 10 times but i use it all the time and lots of guys push heavy weights that they can't do 10 reps with so that was just crazy and i was thinking 'who are you to come over here and give bad advice??!!' i hate it when people do that.

I know that that was not my kind of place. like in my gym here at school no one ever notices me or bothers me and everyone just does there thing but there i got talked to so much and i was like "what?what?! shut up! leave me alone! can't you see i'm working??"lol.

and when i was doing db presses with 25lbs a man and a woman and different times saw me and were all like 'woah' and i was like holy crap if you can't do this you're crazy. but everyone there seemed really weak like the shrug guy and the advice guy went back to do 35lb preacher curls IN GLOVES!!! what a nerd. and this woman beside me did db presses with 12lbs. but by then i was just happy someone was doing a regular exercise and not all this lame machine stuff. i didn't like all the machines and there was so much cardio equipment! it was crazy! like 12 treadmills and that many bikes and stepper things and i don't even know what. and 3 mats to do cruches on which was weird and there was this fat woman on one on her back flopped over a ball and i thought for sure she was dead but then she rolled off and kinda tumbled onto the mat.lol.

plus in my gym there are no fat people. like we've got some linemen that are pretty big but they can also push a lot of weight. there were so many fat people there. and people with matching outfits and girls in those tight capris and little tops and i'm like, i know for real that you can't possibly get serious in that, they're all just trying to look good. i don't think you should be trying to look all hot at the gym. just do your think ya know? ok well not my place, but here's what i managed to get done.

flat bench 4x8-65
flat flys 4x8-12
ran 1/4 mile with the girl
flat db press 4x8-25
incline db press 4x8-15
skull crushers 4x8-25

it was not what i wanted to do but it was a mess it there. sucked. never going back.lol

today i couldn't lift 5th period. i dunno if it'll be open 8th but i really want to do my back workout this week even though it's been crazy and i haven't been able to follow my schedule at all. can't wait till next week when everything goes back to normal!

oh yea. and i'm dressing up all week because i ran out of laundry. hahahaha. oh well it's true. but i have gotten hit on way more than usual, so i guess it was an ego boost too!lol

So the dude shrugging with 50lb is out of the question then i take it?

Generally, that is the advice given out to new lifters to help develop the mind-muscle connection. It's actually quite decent info, but i agree, the ten reps shouldn't be a given for everything.

Genius. There aren't enough like you about. Most people would entertain them by actually giving them some time.

Check you out. Smile

By the way, if there are barbells and dumbells, you could have done some rows for your back.

You could also work on building up your pull up strength. Wide-grip pull-ups are a bit much to ask, but a lot of people can do close-grip pull-ups when your palms face you. They're good.

haha glad i could entertain. yea there was work i could have done but the whole place just turned me off so much that i didn't really feel like lifting at all there.

yea shrug guy was out of the question when he was taking up the only incline bench by setting his weights ON it between sets. what's up with that?

well weight room was still closed 8th period so i guess i'll have to wait till next week. oh wellerz. give me time to do homework. yea, homework!Smile haha yea right. more ofSmile
