Hey guys, decided I'd give a log a try...let me know if I make any glaring errors in format...or in workouts for that matter, cuz hey...I'm no groundhog expert...:redface:

Weight on Oct 3rd 2010: 260 pounds

first goal 240 by Nov 1: made this goal on Oct 29th, then celebrated over the weekend (both my success and my beloved cornhuskers :) g.d. halloween candy!) and gained some back lol...still down though thats the important thing

second goal 220 by Jan 1 2011

means: weights, cardio, walking my dog, diet and supplements...basically stop being a pussy and do the work lol

Monday Nov 1 first day back after a long weekend, and could tell, gassed early.

Jack3d pre workout drink

ten minute warmup on eliptical machine and stretch

Lift (left out some lifts, didn't write it down, will be more diligent remembering)

incline bench 10,8,6 x 185,205,215
lat pulldown 10,8,6 x 145,160,175
cable tricep extension: 10,8,6 @ 140,155,170
Hang Cleans 3 x 10 @ 110
cable shoulder raises: 10,8,6 @ 20, 20, 30
cable fly's 10,8,6 @ 85,85,100
seated rows: 10,8,6 @ cant remember weight
cable resistance ab crunches: 3x15 @ 170

cardio
20 minutes on the stair machine/eliptical thing...don't know what the machine's called but its like bounding or running on sand...kicks my ass...

10 minutes on an indoor track alternating laps between sprinting and walking.

walked a few laps for cool down and stretched.

post wo protein shake (ON whey, delicious strawberry, tastes amazing)

now I will go to sleep for a few hours as I work at 10 pm. when I wake up I'll eat a chicken breast and whatever veggies we have close, and take a Zinc supplement, mulit-viatamin and some fish oil.

will eat another chicken breast and veggies while at work, then try to choke down an ON Casein shake when i get home before bed...(anyone know a way to make those so they aren't so thick I have to chew them first? lol

anyways, first crack, it was harder to remember stuff than I figured it would be, but feedback is welcome and will post back tomorrow.

Thanks guys

Good luck! No formats to follow, but I would recommend you take some time to peruse the other logs to get ideas of programs, exercises, etc. Read the FAQs and ask questions.

And about the shake... do you have a blender?
 
No blender...ive been using a blender ball cup...does a blender help? The cup seems to mix it well its just crazy thick...

Thanks for the feedback, I do spend quite a bit of time in the faqs, and have been gradually changing my workouts with the info I find in there...just figured if someone happens to be in my log and sees things I could be doin better I wanted them to feel free to tell me and not think id get butthurt about it lol

I havent started checkin out many of the other logs yet but will soon thanks for the tip!

Yes, a blender makes a big difference. You may try searching in the D&S section for threads on protein powders that don't clump, for recommendations on brands, or just start your own thread if you can't find what you're looking for.
