    Sheiko #37, week one. Basically several hundred squat, bench and deadlift reps and tons of chest and hammy work. I am on the road to a powerlifting meet next summer. I'm going for 1000 total @ 132lb bodyweight. If I can lose 10 pounds, that is...

    I had chest and triceps on Saturday, and it felt great.
    On Sunday morning I managed a short run. I am trying to move from a heel strike to a forefoot strike using Vibram Five Fingers, and that is quite the transition so it is crucial to take things slow.
    The fact that my stamina is so terrible that short run is the only option, is a well kept secret and I am sticking to the Five Fingers story.

    Normally I only have about an hour free to work out, but since I had some extra time yesterday I managed to squeeze in both a leg and shoulder shoulder session at the gym. Followed by a short run afterwards.
    Actually it was more of a walk with some running in between :) But hopefully I will get better.

    I ride a bicycle back and forth to work every day. It's about 11 miles round trip with a massive 3/4 mile climb both ways. Town square is on a hill. On the way home I have an extra climb of 1/3 mile because my apartment complex is on a hill too. I also lift people all night and walk hallways for 8 hours inbetween bike rides.

    Thanks Jasman. Definitely not the way I wanted to spend my last the last day of my long weekend running to the restroom every hour or so. Maybe five straight days of smoked meats for lunch and dinner was too rich for my stomach, but boy was it good.

    Chest workout yesterday, with a little triceps isolation afterwards.
    Dumbbell Press x 3
    Cable Pec Fly x 3
    Low Cable Fly x 3
    Decline Bench Press x3
    I usually do not do so many cable flies, but I just wanted to try something new :)

    Reverse Grip Cable Pushdown x3

    The most difficult thing with this workout was finding out what the exercises are all called in English :)

    Severe sinus infection making it difficult to breath today so going to skip the cardio and just sit in sauna for 25 minutes.

    Sinus issues kicked my rear again today and skipping working as it is difficult enough to breath as it is let alone a workout on top of it.
