The Return of the Raminator

Man, these last couple days, all I want to do is lift. Hell, I even learned how to do cleans. It makes a huge difference too, I can tell that this attitude difference is going to lead to gains.

12/1
Dumbbell Bench
60x7
65x6
70x6
75x5 (woulda been real nice to get that last one, still a pretty good job)
Dumbbell Rows
80x10
85x10
90x10
95x10 (only did 8 on the left side)

That last set of dumbbell rows was unreal, 90 used to be my max, and I made 95 look like 90.

Wow, it's been a while. I've kind of been neglecting the gym for a while now, but I'm gettin' back in the game:

Dumbbell bench
55x9 or 10
65x6
70x6

Dumbbell row
75x10
80x10
85x10

Leg Lift
20x10
20x8
20x6

I also did some curls, I haven't lost that much strength so I'm happy about that. I guess it's Thanksgiving now, so I should probably sleep to make the dinner. Looking back on this term so far, I guess I can say that it's been fun for the most part. Except for this getting an internship thing, but I feel like I've learned a lot this term, both technically and otherwise. Just gotta finish strong.

Have been gymmin' semi-regularly, although this past week I got this nasty bug from alley 2, so I'm looking forward to getting back in terms of strength and endurance.

A few days ago:
deadlifts:
225x6
245x6
275x6
295x6
315x6
335x1 (more ceremonial than anything, i might have puked if i went all out.)

I went for a run today. Did 2 miles in 15 minutes and it seemed pretty easy, like I wasn't completely gassed at the end.

RAM 3.0

Yea it's been a while, I've been doing a lot of staying in my room and coding this past week. But yea, I'm feeling really good with my lifts, especailly my deadlift. I've actually gotten better even after losing like 4 pounds. I've pretty much maintained bench, and kind of went down on squats.

Deadlift:
225x6
245x6
275x6
295x6
315x6
335x4 (never done it before, made sure to growl extra loud for that last rep)

This is gonna be a big year, I can feel it!

9/20

I haven't really been lifting all that much, I think I'm pretty much maintaining which is good. Today I ran 2 miles in 15 minutes, which I guess shows my cardio is back to being respectable. I also did 8 pull-ups, so that's good. I'm looking forward to the school year starting, but it's also strange, only 2 years from now I'll basically be at a job, or possibly grad school. Damn, I am so old.

9/10

I finally got back to deadliftin'. I'm basically where I was before, so no complaints:

225x6
245x6
275x6
295x6
315x5

I also did 7 pull-ups relatively easily. I think I'm getting there towards 10.

9/9

I played tennis today with a high school friend. It was pretty cool, because my serve was substantially more powerful than it was before. I pretty much let her rip, and I hit a few aces that Sukh had no chance at. Must be the lifting.
