Well, I kept my streak of at least one day a week going, I think if I didn't have the accountablility here I would have bagged it. 

 

1 Day, 12 lifts - 2 sets each, 50 minutes.  (followed by a swim)

 

This week shall improve.

Here it is...figure I'd get on this earlier.  Closing in on the Narrow Grip Bench's goal weight...that will be the first to fall I think.  I will be moving up in Straight Barbell Curls and possibly Bent-Over Rows.  Everything is is getting increasingly difficult to make big gains anymore.

Well, I'm still around. I started this fat loss program so I may need to change my goals a bit. I did 9 reps with my strong arm with the 32 kg (70 lb.) kettlebell. My goal is to do 5 reps with the 40 kg. Based on an estimate, this translates to about 2, maybe 3 reps with the 40. I'll try with the actual 40 next week.

Small gains last week, coming off the weird week from Thanksgiving.  I got approval from the building manager to purchase some equipment for our Small Fitness Center.  A Chin up/Dip Station.  I was looking at this one: http://www.megafitness.com/chin-dip-leg-raise.html   Anyone have an opinion on this?  Also a heavy bag which we will install from the Ceiling.  I've always wanted to learn how to hit a bag.  Hear its a great workout!

Scott and Mike, keep up the routine!  You are doing great!  Ron you are just a monster!
