Your Workout Today

[Zeph]

I currently lift weights three times a week. I've been trying to include some squats and deadlifts again, but my lower back isn't too happy with it. I'll do something else for legs for now and get an appointment with a PT at the centre to see if they got any useful input.

Afternoon Activity:

60 minutes of cycling at an easy pace. 

Just finished two hours of work related paperwork.

I've been throwing around a kettle bell for about a half hour every couple days for a pretty nice workout.  Simple stuff like cleans, overhead presses, and squats.  I look up some new moves every once in awhile.  Nice core, cardio, and full body workout.

Tried for 75 miles, got out late, neighbor talked ear off, finally got out, flat at mile 50, forgot to eat along the way, bonked, probably 8 miles short, didn't record whole ride on gps, privacy and all that. Based on the little riding that I actually do, if almost 70 miles is doable forgetting to eat halfway, may be possible to do that century in the fall. Just need to remember to take in those calories at mile 30, 40.

I love reading back to the end of 2014 ITT when @Slice of Life, @mvmac, and others were helping me get started with fitness.

Injured my lower back earlier this year but the last 2.5 years I've been committed to lifting weights and my diet (last 6 months of 2015 I gained back pretty much all the weight I had lost in the beginning of that year).  That said, after getting down to a little over 185 in January of this year, I spent 6 months in a caloric surplus and now back to cutting (at 206 presently) but while in the surplus I hit some nice marks for my working weight from where I started. 

• Bench: 185 
• Squat: 260
• Overhead Press: 115
• Deadlift: 335

Anyway, onward and upward!

Maybe your back is trying to tell you something

Which was why I went to a sports doctor, got a diagnosis, am doing physical therapy to treat the condition, and following doctor's orders which didn't include to stop lifting.

Those numbers look awesome! 

Great progress over the past couple/few years. Are those 1RM numbers or for reps?

Not bad! You might pass me up soon lol

 

After a long lifting hiatus, I'm back. But no strength gains, because I had too much fat to lose. Did get 225 up for a relatively easy rep today. But probably wouldn't have gotten a 2nd one up haha

Thanks!  Dare to dream. 

Yeah, I have an uneven end to my bulk where I had my mom and uncle visit me for my graduation from grad school and staying with me for five weeks which entailed a lot of eating out which, when combined with a crazy work schedule put me between 22%-25% body fat at which point I began my cut on July 1st which, overall nutrition-wise, this weekend notwithstanding, has gone very well as I'm down roughly 10 pounds over those 5 weeks.
