How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Wednesday, February 27, 2008

Whooooo! Today's workout didn't seem too bad when I looked at it on paper, but boy oh boy. I was going to run 2.5 miles afterwards, but after working out... no. I'll do it later this evening. Yeah right. I think it's the deadlifts that did me in.

I will say, though, my gains are apparent in how much I can do now. When I started I couldn't do one pullup.

* Neutral-Grip Chin-Up, 3 sets AMRAP (as many reps as possible): 5 3 2
* Side-lying Lateral Raise, 20RM (15lb dubbell BLEAH), sets until failure: 20 20 20 17
* Snatch-grip Deadlift on Box, 8RM, 145lbs, 3 sets until failure <6: 8 8 8

40 minutes, 278 calories burned
