RaginCajun's Daily Log

[RaginCajun]

stayed in this morning, it was raining cats and dogs. i did not sleep well last night and am feeling it today. one the positive side, i can definitely feel yesterday's workout, a little sore!

[RaginCajun]

Went in and did 20 on the bike, then stretched and foam rolled. I have been spending a lot more time stretching, and I think it is helping some. Weight is at 197 lbs today, guess I'm holding a little more water with the creatine.

You gotta do pics. You have to be ripped with your workouts

i'm a fatty!

had some speedo pics up a few years ago!

i'm prob sitting at 23-24% BF, maybe a little lower

[RaginCajun]

went in and crushed it!

did a 5 minute warmup on the elliptical, then stretched, then hit back extensions, then deadlifts, then leg presses, then pulldowns.

i was spent as i did not take much rest between sets or exercises

[RaginCajun]

oh yeah, forgot to mention that my left knee was giving me some issues. it did not feel stable, almost a deep dull pain and some pain right above the knee cap.

will need to stretch through out the day

[RaginCajun]

Yesterday, did a half mile swim. Felt tired the whole time, just didn't have it so to speak

[RaginCajun]

Today, had a good workout. Did a full body and didn't rest between any sets. Workout was about 40 minutes and my avg HR was 102. My resting HR is about half of that, around 54ish.

[zaggahamma]

that's a good resting heart rate...must be that southern lifestyle and backstrap

[RaginCajun]

30 minutes of cardio, bike and rowing machine. Also did some foam rolling and stretching.

I love foam rolling. Not as much as an actual massage, but it definitely helps.

i hate it! it hurts like bloody hell!

i may have to treat myself to a 2 hour massage soon. i am well overdue for one

[zaggahamma]

foam rolling feels good on my back and hammies but the side of my legs and hip OUUUUCHHHHHHH!!!!!

[RaginCajun]

Did a little quasi-cardio/workout yesterday evening, shot my bow in the backyard. I think I probably shot around 40 arrows. It was about a 50/50, good to not good shots so I need to practice more!

Today, pissed some excellence! Had a good full body workout this morning! I was able to do the 70lb dumbbells on incline chest press 8-10 times. It has been a while since I was able to press those for 10 reps. Added in some abduction/adduction machine reps as well, and can tell adduction is weak and need to work on it

[RaginCajun]

20-25 minutes of cardio , weedeated the grass

Is full body what you are typically doing these days?.

You been eatin weed alright...

[RaginCajun]

Is full body what you are typically doing these days?.

Typically it looks like this:

5 minute warmup on bike, then stretch

Then: legs - either squats on smith machine, or leg press, or leg extensions , good mornings. I usually try to do one on MWF (3 times a week).

Then: chest - either hammer press, dumbbells, or other machines

Then: back - deadlifts, rows of all types (try to switch it up), pull downs

Then: arms of somewhat, usually curls, tri presses, Arnold presses

I don't do all exercises each time, usually some sort of combo. When doing these sets/exercises, I only rest 30-60 seconds between sets to keep my HR up. I've been consistent with this the past few weeks and stepped up the intensity some. I also mix in some kettle bell exercises/workouts in there as well. As stated, trying to lift 3 days a week and do cardio/stretch on the others. Other than that, my fat ass eats too much! Haha!

[RaginCajun]

Did 20 minutes of cardio on the bike and foam rolled. Legs felt really tight today, especially my groin muscles from the adductions. My calves, especially left one, have knots all in them. My whole lower leg is really tight, feels like I ran a marathon last night or something. Have no clue how to remedy this, sucks!

[RaginCajun]

Played golf yesterday evening, it was ugly! I shot 95, was all over the place. Wish I had time to practice more

Holy sheeeeeeet!

Sup Biker!!!

Still here, like the fonk at the gym!

[RaginCajun]

Did some work in the woods yesterday, walked about 3-4 miles in the 100 degree heat. Went cool off afterwards at the beach, walked another mile or two. On the road this week for a few days then probably heading towards the home town for some debachery!!!

[bikeral]

Great to see you are still at it. Did you win a prize for longest running show on broadway?

If my fvcking legs worked, I'd be even better!

No prize yet but expecting one here real soon!

[RaginCajun]

40 minutes of walking. Wanted to try to run/jog but my legs just won't cooperate, sigh

[RaginCajun]

Had a decent workout this AM. Did a full body, went heavy on lat pulldowns and seated rows. It felt like my calasus's (sp) were about to rip off!

[RaginCajun]

feeling the workout from yesterday, left side is tight. feels tight from my trap, all the way down to my hammies and calves. the right side is tight as well, but just feels like everything is 'pulling' on the left side. dealing with a lot right now with life and work/career. maybe making a move back to medical (sales), and a move back to the home town. i have an interview tomorrow with 2 asian doctors. if offered, i would definitely have a dilemma to deal with if the offer is competitive to what i make now.

on another note, weighed in at 195 lbs and hadn't pooped yet. will continue what i have been doing and see where it takes me.

lol yeah the poop often doesn't make a big difference even the massive of ones

but might be a good idea to wiggle around before the interview unless they want an uptight individual

I'm all good peeps! Haven't made it back to the disaster that is now Houston but plan on it tomorrow. Been stuck in Baton Rouge and it kills me not to be there helping people. All of my stuff is fine no flooding thank goodness! One coworker has over a foot or more of water in his place, sucks ass!

On another note, looks like I landed that sales job and will be moving back to my hometown! I haven't inked the deal yet, awaiting clarification on a few things. Looks like I will be back in the medical industry, lil safer than oil and gas at the moment and will be closer to family and friends!

Thanks Kel!!!

[zaggahamma]

didnt know u were in texas...glad safe...tragic catastrophe over there

congrats on the job

[RaginCajun]

congrats on the job

man it is really really bad!!! i am very fortunate that nothing happened to any of my stuff. one of my coworkers has 4 feet of water in his house. i am trying to get back to Houston to go help and volunteer for whatever, just having a hard time getting back with all the roads closed/flooded.

thanks! new job will be a lot less stress, and i get to move closer to my family and friends. money is about the same, but there is incentives built in so just have to hustle! the job does come at a terrible time, when houston needs help i will be moving out. really don't like that but this is a great opportunity, and i am about tired/fed up with the BS with the company i currently work for. i was told some things that never did play out, plus, i am tired of traveling to small podunk towns 6-7 hours away from home. i will miss the friends that i have met and work with while living there for 6 years, they have been very good to me. only hard part, leaving a girl/woman that i have seen on and off for the past 4 years. it is going to hurt for a while, she is a good woman!

[zaggahamma]

sounds bitter sweet bro hope the less stress will be best

[RaginCajun]

Made it back to Houston, took 8 hours on a normal 4 hour drive. The water was definitely high and still high in a lot of areas. Luckily, my neighborhood is fine except for some trees down. Other parts of Houston are destroyed. Some water is still coming up in some houses, so sad. I plan on volunteering sometime this weekend to help out with whatever and whomever.

On another note, did 60 minutes of walking to try to clear my head some. This is going to be a fast transition into the new job, will be putting in my two weeks next week but will let them (current employer) know tomorrow. I will stay for two weeks and do whatever I need to do help train a replacement or whatever. I won't leave them high and dry even though I could. I remember last year when I was out of work for about 3-4 months, almost went flapjack broke, so I really don't have to put my two weeks, but feel it's necessary to offer. They may tell me to go fly a kite! Who knows!
