And a bit of hard work I said, to get into shape.
After getting called out, I said I’d step up to the challenge.
Not having been to the gym in over a year,
I brashly said I’d prove my point.
They said they'd give me three months, but needed measurable goals.
For this they selected exercises, and i offered my personal bests
from my goals for when I hit the age of 25 in Dec 2006.
The challenge is to meet and beat the following by 31 Aug 2008:
Stats: Age 25, 10'5", 172lb (Dec 06)
Bench press: 175lb for 10
Bench 1-time max: 215lb
Wide-grip pullups: 12
Preacher dumbbell: 30lb for 10
Squats: don't remember
One-legged squat: I'd never tried this before, so 0.
10k in ~55 min
To see how much work needed to be done, I went for a run;
For the first time in over a year: 6k in ~45 min...
Dammit!
Looks like I need to
stop running my mouth
and start running my legs.
