Well in the interest of putting myself all the way out there, I will now post my measurements……………..and yea I know I have a lot of work to do. Now remember folks I have done 0 cardio since August. Arms: 17' Forearms: 13.25" Neck: 16" Chest: 47.5" Abdomen: 39" (yea yea muffin top, lol) Waist: 36" Thighs: 26" Calves: 16" Weight: 201lbs Height: 67" I will note for the record that when my abdomen reached the 36" point I began to panic and my Doctor told me that I was not cleared for any Cardio activity so here it is now and I have the vaunted muffin top. Of course it's not as noticeable because I have a 47" chest but I have to get this shit under control so that I can fit into my So Jeans (if you don't know what they are then look em' up ha ha) I have now been cleared to do 30 minutes of cardio 3 times a week on either the elliptical or the recumbent bike. Between the two I feel that the elliptical is the better of the two even though it makes my feet go numb. So there it is folks for the entire world to see. Well that's pretty much all there is for today because the Bears are playing and everything is hitting the back burner until after the game.
I have to post date this because I was having problems getting the link to my cell phone. I am a tech junkie so everything has to work or I basically become obsessed with it until it does work.
Any how Saturday was my first day back in the gym in about 4-5 months. Needless to say I had quite a reality check. Not that I was at a serious loss of strength but I am severely out of shape from a cardio perspective. I am not one to lolly gag around in the gym and my rest between sets is pretty minimal. Well that shit almost killed me yesterday!!!
I had to take massive breaks halfway thru the workout because I felt like I was going to PASS OUT!!! My heart was beating like a mouse on a wheel. But I did get all the way thru the workout. :-)
I have decided to split my workout days between Tues, Thurs and Sat with weight training and Mon, Wed, and Friday for cardio. I cant' work quads so I will go with beefing up my hamstrings (since they were lagging anyhow) and calves. I will work arms 2 times a week so I can get those babys growing.
Saturday - Chest & Back (supplemented by arms)
Tuesday - Hamstrings, Claves & Abs
Thursday - Bi's, Tri's and shoulders (light shoulder work since thats an injured area)
Overall I have alot of work to do. I was told that I was looking rather smallish...........well what in the hell do you expect with 5 months out of the gym? Truth be told I still have a better physique with 5 months out then probably 85% of America, lol.
Anyway stay tuned. I will post some of my sets and reps after the first week.
