Tough, tough riding last night. I actually had to stop once on the hill because my legs simply didn't have anything left to give.

Background
I have always been active in sports and continue to do so whenever I can. It all started when I was in high school and took a weight lifting class. The rest, as they say, is history.
I enjoy lifting weights and playing sports because it takes away the daily stress that can build up if I just sit around. In addition, the rush you get while lifting is a huge bonus.

My Workout Program
Today:
Barbell Squat: 135x10, 185x8, 185x8
Barbell Deadlift: 135x10, 205x8, 255x3 (PR)
*Stretching in-between excercises.
**Stationary bike: 2 minutes pre/post workout
Hitting the weights hard now. Should start adding weights regularly each week now. It is sad to see how fast the stats drop when you take some time off. Oh well. It is still cool to use the graphs they have available here.
I continue with my circuit type training and supersetting with 30-45 minute workouts. I use dumbells for everything except bent-over row, deadlift, squat, and overhead tricep extensions.
One unexpected result of having my entire back sun burned and 101 degrees outside is that I sweat like a madman getting ready for a champioship wreslting match. This is a good thing. Just have to remember to drink enough water.
Thats it for now.
Later.
Mid-June:
Started Working out again.
Been awhile so taking it easy right now. I will start loading the weights next week.
Here is a page (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson295.htm) - not online yet - that I want to keep track of because it has been a bit of a problem for me to develop - The chest. Seems that anytime I try to work chest my shoulders take the brunt of the weight. I am trying to lighten the load a bit and let my chest do the work. I noticed that visualizing really helps too.
April 29, 2007.
Training on hold. Son's baseball practice keepin' me busy.
Getting plenty of exercise on weekends pushing dirt up a hillside in a wheelbarrow. Ground has so many rocks in it I have to break it up with a pick ax before I can even put it in the wheelbarrow.
