Kudos for wanting to be healthier.  That's smart, especially if you're on the verge of diabetes (which I assume you are since you noted that).

I hope you're not using BMI to determine what's "healthy" or not.  It's a really antiquated way of looking at things, especially for athletes.  It also totally disregards several factors, the main one being actual body composition.  

My BMI is almost always 39+, but I'm also usually around 13% bodyfat.  See the problem?


Good luck in your training!

Thanks. I know BMI is a limited tool. I use that in relation to my days as a FMF Corpsman when I was 25 (I'm 56 now), in great shape, and weighed 195 and was a certified bad-xxx.

I was severely injured in a car accident ten years ago and could not exercise for many years. On the plus side it was a miracle that I lived. The police officer who was first on the scene thought I was dead. Got up to almost 250 lbs. I've lost about 40 of it and want to lose the last 10-15 lbs. Prep for the games is a great way to improve my core strength.

Today:
Lateral squats 100, 110, 120 lbs.
Quads 3 x 90 lbs.
Hamstrings: 3 x 110 lbs
Dead lifts 110, 120, 130 lbs.
30 min treadmill.

Protein shake for breakfast, turkey sandwich and salad for lunch, chicken stir fry (no rice) for dinner. Total carb intake ca. 100g. Calories ca. 1800.

Not too bad. I could probably lift a lot more but am going light right now because of an old neck injury and previous elbow surgery.

Started having some knee pain so I changed up my routine. Been cold here and the arthritis has been kicking in, maybe a little gout mixed in.

I got rid of the lateral for now as they were doing the same as the dead lifts.

Quads: 3 x 10, 80 lbs
Hamstrings: 3 x 10, 100 lbs
Dead lifts: 5 x 100, 120, 140, 160, 180 and 200 lbs

The machine at work doesn't go over 200 lbs for the dead lifts.

Thanks. Even a beat up old guy like me can still get it done.

I just joined the LA fitness a mile from my house. Did my upper body 2/5. New machines, worked my muscles a little differently so I'm sore. 30 min on exercise bike.

My 16 lb hammer came from Old Celt. My Tannel 360's came. It would be helpful if it stopped snowing and warmed up so I could use them.:)

My core and lower body are definitely getting stronger. Won't go much past 300 for a while on the leg presses due to 3 previous knee surgeries.

Hopefully I'll be able to get outside and throw providing it isn't a mud pit.

Couple of points on your workout if I may?

You have a lot of volume going in a single workout and then nothing for days afterwards.  Maybe try to beak it up in smaller chunks more frequently, ie mon-wed-fri or tues-thurs-sat. You could do mini worksouts on the first couple and then a larger on the last day.  You could also try a pure 2 workout system, ie mon and thurs.  This should give you more consistency and enough recovery time .

Consider maybe using more free weights and less machines.  Free weights will force you to use more whole body and stabilizers so you would probably need less exercises in general for the same end result.  Also machines work very fixed path except our bodies don't work that way.

Congrats on the new hammer.  No need to wait for the snow to go before you can use it.  Start working some hammer winds in.  Work on sets of 10 on each side.  Start slow and really try to work on lengthening your arms and your zero point.  This is a great ab workout.

Thanks for the advice. I'll probably be out with the hammer this week. When I first tried the hammer last year I could really feel it in my core.

Been contemplating breaking up my upper body and lower eg, upper on mon wed, lower on tues thur.

I like the idea of free weights, used them when I was younger and stronger. I'll try to shift into them.

The time frame lapse you sometimes see is when I have to travel for work. When I do that I rely on squat thrusts, push-ups, sit-ups. Unfortunately most hotels no longer have weights systems due to liability.
