eve's log
Just got started this past week with lifting. Back in highschool I did weight training for 2 yrs, I really liked it then and I remembered this week how much I enjoyed it.
I started running back in November (I was never a runner because of asthma), I'm up to 3.25 miles in 30 minutes. But running alone is just not enough anymore. I started doing the basics at home after running about 2 mos ago. Sit-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, etc.. And it gets boring fast. I'm 25, 5'2" and currently 113lbs (111 on a good day). Just from the running and change of diet, I lost 12lbs since I first started running in November. I've been plateaud at that weight since probably the beginning of March. I'm not too worried about losing more weight I just want to maintain, get stronger and hopefully tighten up a bit more. And onto the first day of lifting... Monday, 6/25 Bench Press 10x45lbs 10x55lbs 5x65lbs (don't know my max yet) Dead Lift 10x45lbs 10x55lbs 10x55lbs Wide Grip Assisted Pull-Ups 12x60lbs 8x45lbs Assisted Pull-Ups 12x45lbs 12x45lbs Dumbbell Shoulder Press 10x7.5lbs 10x10lbs Chest Press 10x45lbs 10x60lbs Dumbbell Curls 20x7.5lbs 10x10lbs Rope Push Down 10x50lbs 10x60lbs Decline Sit-Ups 1x25 1x25 1x20 Tuesday, 6/26 Running 2.25 miles 20 minutes Weds - off day Thurs - was supposed to run, felt sick & had to go to school Friday, 6/29 Squats 12x45lbs 12x65lbs 12x85lbs 10x100lbs (don't know my max yet) SLDL 12x45lbs 12x55lbs Leg Press 12x100lbs 12x110lbs Calf Raises 20x45lbs 20x45lbs Hip Adductors 15x70lbs 15x80lbs Hip Abductors 15x70lbs 15x80lbs Decline Sit-Ups 1x20 1x25 Crunches 1x60 Rope Crunches 20x100lbs 20x100lbs That is the official first 5 days of my routine. I felt I could do a bit more on both days, some of it almost felt too easy. Next week I will be upping some of the weights, but I am not going to push it. I don't want to get hurt right in the beginning. Mon/Fri lifting - Tues/Thurs/Sat are running days. If I can't run tomorrow because I am sore from today, I will definitely be running on Sunday. Suggestions and comments are welcome. Last edited by eve; 07-03-2007 at 05:11 PM.

Very glad to see you start a journal. Nice progress. I myself have asthma. It doesn't hold me back much at all.
It looks like you have a nicely thought out upper and lower split. I like those when I'm only lifting 2 days a week. And I often slip my dead work in my upper body day as well. Mostly because I don't do deads and squats together when I'm working to go heavier with both.

Looks like you're doing great, keep it up.
I grew up with asthma, it doesn't bother me at my old age anymore. However, when its really humid/muggy my chest does tighten up a little more than usual. Keep pressing forward - good luck.
