Day 6 of 30 Day Challenge

Workout - Chest

Weight - 147.5 lbs

So I based my workout on hanhchampion and ice1cube's "Sick Chest Workout" on youtube, but I altered the sets and reps to match what I felt would be good.

• 10,10 Dumbbell Bench (light, 45)
• 10,8,6 Dumbbell Bench (heavy, 60,65,70)
• 5x10 Dumbbell Bench (medium, 52.5)
• 10,8,6 Incline Barbell Press (95,105,115)
• 10,10,8,8,6 Machine Flies (80,80,90,90,100)

I skipped cardio today altogether because I injured my heel yesterday doing random stuff, I'll probably skip cardio tomorrow too and get back on it in a couple days or something.

Day 5 of 30 Day Challenge

Still taken with my phone..
Sorry going to get a camera soon  for college

WOO new week! That means picture and update!

So I decided that I'm going to post a new picture every Monday during this 30 day challenge and then talk about how I'm feeling about any progress and all that.

But for now, lets start off with my workout for the day, didn't weigh myself that day so I don't have a weight to put down.

Workout - Biceps

• 10 Minute Light Jog (1.15 Miles)
• 10,10,8 Dumbbell Curls (30,30,37.5)
• 10,8,6 One-Handed Preacher Curls (37.5, 45, 50)
• 10,10,10 EZ-Bar Half Curls (60)
• 10,9,8 EZ-Bar Curls (60)
• 10 Rep Seated Preacher Burnouts

I kind of skimped on cardio today because I was feeling pretty low energy.

Alright and now to how I feel about all this. Right now I am loving this 30 day challenge. I love hitting the gym everyday and I'm feeling great, better than I've felt in a while. I think that's a big thing about working out, it makes you look great AND it makes you feel great! What else do you need?? Now to progress.. Well it's only been a week, how much progress can you possibly expect? I do FEEL a little bit bigger, even if I don't look like it, so that's nice. Starting tomorrow I'm going to start real dieting, eating the stuff I'm supposed to and all that. I'm not going to keep going as I have been, just eating whatever, not really caring the nutritional value of what I'm putting in my mouth. The food I have been eating may have been pretty good and healthy, but I need to start making sure I'm eating when I need to eat and eating the kinds of foods I need to eat. I plan on eating about 5 times a day, every 3 hours or something, just eat whenever my body needs the nutrition to feed my muscle growth. I'll try and remember to take pictures of my meals and all that, I'll try and stay dedicated to this diet, but there's only so many ways that you can cook chicken.

Day 4 of 30 Day Challenge

Just got back from the gym and I’m sweating like a hurricane in the desert.

Workout - Shoulders

Weight - 147

• 3 Sets PV Shoulder Circuit (15)
• 10,8,6 Dumbbell Military (40,45,50)
• 10,10,10 Side Lateral Raises (15)
• 10,10,10 Bent Side Raises (12,15,15)
• 10,10 Front Raises (15)
• 10,10,10 Pull-ups
• 6-3-3 Cardio (1.53 miles) Boosted the speed on the treadmill, but I boosted it too much and couldn’t keep up for whole 6-3-6 so I chopped off some of it.

Going to hit up some abs right now

Day 3 of 30 Day Challenge

Workout - Legs

Weight - 146

And here’s the exercises I did, with weights so that I can measure the progress of my strength as well.

• 6-3-6 Cardio (1.75 miles) I want to build this up to at least 2.5 miles, hopefully even 3 miles by the end of this challenge (For anyone who's reading this, a 6-3-6 means that I do a fast-paced jog for 6 minutes, a sprint for 3 minutes, and then back down to a fast-paced jog for 6 minutes. I got this workout from track!)

• 5,4,3 Power Cleans (115, 125, 135)
• 10,8,6 Squats (185, 195, 205)
• 10,8,6 One-Leg Machine Extensions (70, 80, 90)
• 10,8,6 One-Leg Machine Curls (65, 75, 85)
• 15,15,15 Seated Calf-Raises (90)

Day 2 of 30 Day Challenge

Workout - Cardio/Abs

Only worked out cardio today because I went to go hang out with Priscilla before she left for taiwan. I intended to work on legs and all that, but I didn’t really have the time so I’m going to leave that for tomorrow and I just won’t take a rest day on Sunday. ALL GOOD!

Day 1 of 30 Day Challenge

Taken with phone for lack of a better camera

OK, I'm new to this so I have no idea how the formatting works, I hope this looks right..

Anyway,
Day 1 of 30 Day Challenge

Workout - Triceps/Biceps

Weight - 146.5 lbs

Thoughts before I get into this challenge - I’M PUMPED! I can’t wait to see some results. So right now I feel that abs could use some more cut, but I’m pretty happy with them. I definitely feel that pecs need to be bigger and more defined. I feel that chest is naturally the weakest point in my physique. Biceps need some work, and calves (though they can’t be seen) need some work. Overall, I feel that I just want to get bigger in general.

I’m probably going to talk about how I feel about progression and results and what needs more work every month.

30 Day Challenge

So I've been working out pretty consistently all summer, but since the start of July I've been doing this 30 day fitness challenge. Basically I'm going to work out rigorously for 30 days, and then after that I plan on trying to keep it going for several years, but right now I'm staying focused on these 30 days.

Here's what I posted on Tumblr at the beginning of the challenge:

So I’ve been seeing a lot of 30 day challenges for a lot of things, but one challenge that caught my eye was a fitness challenge. Since it’s pretty much the beginning of the month, I decided I’d do one too and try to work as hard as I can on my physique, in really kind of bulking up in terms of muscle. I’m still pretty lean so I’m not really worrying about cutting down fat right now.

For 30 days I plan on going to the gym everyday, already wrote up my gym schedule, what I plan on working out and stuff like that.

This is what I’m going to do to make sure I stay on track.

1. Go to the gym EVERYDAY, sunday can be used as a rest day or an abs/cardio day.
2. Do abs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so that I don’t burn out my abs too much.
3. After every workout I’m going to come home, take my protein and weigh myself.
4. Then I will take a picture so that I can hopefully see my progress.
5. I’m going to post up my details so that I’ll stay motivated to keep going (post pictures every week)

GOOD LUCK TO ME!

I forgot to add my goals.. By the end of these 30 days, I hope to gain more muscle mass (I’m not sure how big I plan on getting), I want to gain some weight from muscle, and get a better definition in my entire body. GOTTA GET THE BEACH BOD!
