Beginning to an end

[heathj]

Been slacking much on this journal thing. In the past posting my journal on wbb helped tremendously. Time to give it another shot.

Right now I am at 213 pounds at about 14% bodyfat. I just graduated college with a BS in Exercise Science (boo ya!!) I recently acquired my ACSM Hi-Fi Certification and am working as a trainer at Gold's Gym, as well as working at the lumberyard I have been for the last 3 years.

I plan on doing the STP in July. 200 mile bike ride from Seattle to Portland. My goal is to ride it in one day. I would like to drop down to 195-200 by then at about 10% bodyfat.

Current training is:
Mon - Chest/Back, 1 hour racquetball
Tues - Legs/Arms, 10 miles stationary bike
Weds - 40 minutes basketball
Thurs - 20 miles stationary bike (~3 min/mile)
Fri - Full Body, walk/jog 5 miles
Sat - 20 miles stationary bike (~3 min/mile)
Sun - Rest

I also am working on some plyometrics as well as balance. Slowly recovering from a back injury from back in november. Squats are light...

Diet is around 3000 calories. I have lost 8 pounds so far.

[borracho]

wow..200 miles is hefty. I have a century 5/18 and then 5/25 there is a ride from durango-telluride..combined they make up about 150 miles...good luck on your ride and goals dude.

hope ya can get in at least a 75 mile ride in before in that case. my longest was a ~50 before the century and boooooy...I should have had at least a 70 under my belt....but, I am a fat ass so that could count for a lot. What do you ride?

nice incline work btw

[heathj]

I will try to get a few 70 mile rides in before the 200. I do not plan on going unprepared. Currently I do not own a road bike, but I own a Trek Jack 1 mountain bike. I plan on buying a road bike in May or June. Usually I just ride on the stationary bike.

I came from the suburbs of Detroit. Moved for a new job and a fat paycheck. Been here about 6 months and have really enjoyed it so far. We have to meet up sometime. You come down to Seattle much? I don't have a problem driving up to Bellingham some weekend either.

[AKMass]

Did you go to Western?

[heathj]

BI: what job? and definitely would meet up. i come down often, but work two jobs and am extremely busy. perhaps in the summer?

I'm a dev manager for the team that writes the software for TMobiles content download system (i.e. if you buy a ringtone on TMobile you're hitting our ****).

Yeah, whenever works for you. Like I said, I don't have a problem driving up on the weekend, but if you're normally busy just lemme know when you're free. You on MySpace or Facebook? That's probably the best way to keep in touch with me. I prefer MySpace.

done and done. not sure about a workout tomorrow. I have a race on July 25th that is a 2.6 mile run, 14.6 mile road bike ride, 2.6 mile run. Completed it last year for the first time in 1:40...Want to break 1:30. Haven't been running too much, but I am in better running shape even now after my broken toe then I was last year. Plan to run 2x/week and bike 2x/week in the morning before work every week until the race. This next week I will be in Las Vegas and then Yosemite so probably not much training, definitely some hiking though.

[heathj]

Yosemite was a blast. 4 hour hike one day, 7 hour hike the next.

Back to training: Monday ran 4 miles (Right knee was very painful)

Today:

Brick workout

60 min cycle (20 miles)
30 min run (2.67 miles) - Knee hurting again

Lungs did great, knee was holding me back from breaking 3 miles. Right quad fatigue mild.

[Joe Black]

Awesome workouts Heath, I love the emphasis on the fitness/cardiovascular side of things.

Tell us a bit more about the race... A mountain bike race?

[heathj]

Thanks! I find it more entertaining and rewarding to add in a little cardiovascular aspect to my workouts.

The race is a short sprint. 2.6 mile trail run, followed by a 14.5 road bike (4mi downhill, 6mi rolling hills, 4.5mi uphill), then another 2.6 mile trail run. Last year it took me 1 hour 40 minutes and it was my first race. I plan to break 1 hour 30 minutes this year.

Trying to keep rest periods to under 90 seconds on lifts other then deadlifts. Hook grip is still rocking my world. Can't get the second rep on 315 up with the hook grip. I wish I could use some CHALK at my gym. I may have to look into a pouch to hold it so I do not create a mess. I am happy with 315 x 12 and 225 x 15 on a platform...doing great work lately. Lowering workouts to twice per week until race is over. Then bump it up to 3x/week, but then I have some half marathon training to work on, so it may drop back down to 2x/week and focus on running.

Interesting/Strong work in here. Where did you go to school for your degree? I'm actually finishing up my Exercise Phys. requirements right now. How much do you eat on a typical day? Seems like you do a lot of cardio alongside keeping up pretty good strength. I'm going to add it in soon but strength is my main priority and I don't want it to lag from adding cardio in. Clean n Presses were really strong today.. and what do you use to do the 1 arm DL (DB or Oly bar)? Sorry so many questions, first time posting in your journal.

[heathj]

Thanks for the questions. I love to help and hear advice as well. I went to Western Washington University for my degree. Fun program and I learned a ton about nutrition/exercise. I eat 3-4000 calories per day, some days upwards of 5000 and I typically maintain. Right now I am at 216 lbs. Would like to get to 205-210 for races...216 adds some un-needed stress to my knees.

Cardio does affect strength gains somewhat, although strength will help with cardio. As long as the cardio is more so anaerobic I do not think it affects strength too much, and helps for strength-endurance. I have had no problems maintaining and even gaining strength in certain areas with 3-5 hours of cardio per week

I use olympic bar for 1-arm DL. Fun exercise. Never tried it before yesterday.


Today: Ran 3 miles outside. Strength training tomorrow and a possibly bike ride. Mock race on Saturday morning; Goal: 2 hours (easy pace).

Note: Holding off on heavy squats until race is over. IT band bothering me lately and don't want to affect it any more then with running/biking. Possibly some plyos tomorrow instead of squats.
