Back "Home"

Greetings, RAW Warriors,

Its been a while, but I finally got internet at my new apartment and am mostly, fully moved into my new place now. Time to get back to blogging more often.

I've also been associated once again with my 'old home', the old gymnasium's weight room, back at Mayville State.  Its in its final year of being around, so I better get the most I can out of it.

Hopefully a new performance center can be constructed next year to replace it. It was the first gymnasium on campus, and it once held two games where the Harlem Globetrotters played the college team on their tours in the 1930's. A lot of history in this old gym, and its good to be back in it.

My plans have been pretty simple since I started back in the gym and also the new wellness center's weight room.

Deadlifts: 3 x 5
Power Cleans: 3 x 5
Push Presses: 3 x 5
Bench Press: 3 x 5 or 4 x 5
Pulldowns: 3 x 10
Bent Presses or Windmills: 4 x 5 per side
Leg Presses: 3 x 12 (optional lift in place of Deadlifts, depending on running/cycling)

It feels great once again to be doing some Deadlifts and Power Cleans, as well as the Push Presses. Those 3 are some of my favorite exercises.  Hang Cleans & Push Press combo's are also another one I will add later.  Its all about getting used to the movements again, and going light in my workouts.

I have been running at least 3x and up to 4x a week now, plus lifting 3x a week on days in-between. I finally got my bikes over here too, so I just did a 22 miler on Sunday and an 11 miler tonight.  Feels great to have time to be more active now.

I can fully say its great to be 'back home' at the college that grew my love & passion for the training side of things.

I must say, my "Just The Chart" Kindle guide has come in handy on the phone for finding exact weights for sets/reps I need. Find it here at http://tinyurl.com/rkofp
