Winter Break - Week 1: Day 26 - Workout

Not too good of a workout today, I was busy so I just quickly tried bench. But after doing that I realized I was way too sore to do much. My abs are sore like never before since I worked it out for the first time last workout, and my back is really sore too for some reason.. So my bench suffered today, just did three short sets and left since I'd rather recover to do a real bench day later..

Anyway..

Bench Press-
Set 1: 135 lbs x 5 reps (However random guy spotting me helped of course ugh, prob could only really do 3/4 reps today)
Set 2: 125 lbs x 5 reps
Set 3: 115 lbs x 5 reps

Winter Break - Week 1: Day 24 - Workout

Worked out Abs for first time today, Legs, as well as Back + Biceps today. Combined workouts since the break is nearly over, and I wanted to make sure I get as many opportunities to workout in this final week as I can. I lowered the weight a bit on the Squats since it felt really heavy last time, and I didn't want to be exhausted after doing squats since I still had to complete the rest of my Back/Bicep workout. Good workout today I'd say.

Pull Ups - 8, 4, 3 - I passed my goal of doing 8+ in a row! 

Squat - 3 x 5 x 145 lbs - Pretty easy to me, made sure I went down past parallel

DB Row -  3 x 7 x 45 lbs (in each hand) - Need to get better with left side, kind of had bad form in some of last reps

Lat Pull down - 3 x 8 x 75 lbs

Barbell Bicep Curl -
Set 1: 50 lbs x 9 reps
Set 2: 50 lbs x 8 reps
Set 3: 45 lbs x 7 reps
Set 4: 40 lbs x 6 reps

Weighted Crunch Machine - 3 sets x 8 reps (Weight was set to level 6 for first set, level 5 on the rest, don't know what they are exactly though)

Winter Break - Week 1: Day 23 - Reviewing Goals

New Years day today, so gym closed. Anyway there is now just one more week left of winter break, so I thought it would be a good idea to see how I'm doing on the goals I set on the first day of break.

Here's what I wrote in my blog post from first day of winter break for my goals:

(Italicized is from old post, bold from today)
My Goal for these 4 weeks:

- I was 135.4 lbs at the end of summer, but lost a lot of it. I would like to gain at least 5 lbs and be 133.7 lbs by the end of winter break.
Currently as of yesterday morning, I weighed in at about 133.2 lbs, so I have gained 4.5 lbs so far. I still have a whole week left, so I'm on track to surpass this goal !

- I would like to at least be able be benching 45 plates on each side with ease again  for 5+ reps again
I just benched 45 plates on each side yesterday for 5 reps, so goal met ! However would like to work on getting it done with faster tempo, did the reps a bit faster in the summer.

- Be able to do 8+ pull-ups in a row again
I haven't really gotten a chance to test this, only times I've done real pull ups was while being tired and sore. I'll test it by the end of the break though.

- Get my arms back over 13.1+ inches at least.. (Currently only at ~12.65")
As of right now, my arms measured at a tad bit over 13.2 inches ! Goal surpassed!
