Cellar Yeti Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm taking this entire week off resistance training. On Tuesday I did a combo sprint/distance run. First 2.5min I ran 6.5mph, then I did 6.5mph for 1 min, 10mph sprints for 30 sec all the way till 12 min mark, then a solid 6.5mph jog for another 18 min. Today I did a distance run, 4.6 miles at 6.5mph. I will do weighted hill sprints on Saturday, then return to the iron. I have probably located a new van, back home in CT. Psyched. It's a 1999 Volkswagen Eurovan T4 camper conversion with pop top, 4L diesel AWD with 90k miles. Soooo excited. It's only 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hercules Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Good for you, Yetimeister. Periodic leaves of absence have always done wonders for my strength and morale. Today, I built large garden trellises from reclaimed wood instead of going to the gym. I'm sore in whole new places. Viva la difference! Good luck on your wheels. May I suggest Yetimobile as a nickname? Post pics. Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divamom Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 yes, yay on the new wheels! I have one more week off from resistance as well. I will think of you tomorrow as I cruise aisle after aisle in search of vegan chocolates, vegan cookies and vegan crap food! I agree, Yetimobile!

Cellar Yeti Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Back to lifting today. I feel INCREDIBLY strong. My body is certainly renewed and recharged. I cannot stress how good I feel and how I blasted today's workout. My focus is renewed and I feel supercharged. 3-11-12 Day A1 Legs/Chest/BicepsVest Split Squats/Jump Squats/Good Mornings +50lbs x10x10x10x10 ->60lbs (First time my legs have burned like fire in AGES)Vest Weighted Pushups +75lbs x5x5x5x5x4 ->77.5lbsDB Flys 2x48lbs x8x8x8x8 ->X Reps of 10lbs until more iron is boughtVest Chinups +27.5lbs x5x5x5x5x4 ->30lbsDB Curls 2x40.5lbs x8x8x8x8 Extra then to failure on a 5th set -> 43lbs The vest is incredible. It works extremely well and changes the dynamics of bodyweight+ because the iron is balanced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellar Yeti Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 5 min jog, 20 min of sprinting, 5 ming jog, 10 minutes of light ab work. *knackered* I did my abs on the monkey bars and this kid came up and grabbed my leg for balance. So I smiled at him and his mother gave me the dirtiest look. She made me feel like the filthiest scumbag when I was just trying to be friendly. ;_: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divamom Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 you need to have a CA id and credit card, --say you want to try it out before you buy a membership- they usually will give you a 10 day or two week pass. go online to 24hourfitness.com and look it up.

Cellar Yeti Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 My new routine is focusing on doing the best I can with what I have. I have been living in my van full time while supporting my disabled mother. We are trying to get her on her feet and I hope within' the next few months I can move back into moving some iron. But I am very much enjoying my highly endurance and speed based training. I have been doing resistance training 2x a week for 30-45min running 3x a week for 45-90min, sprinting 2x a week for 30-45 min, and loading down with 50lbs or so 2x a week for weighted hikes, 1-2hrs. My body is in remarkable shape. My resting heart rate is ridiculous low. I feel fantastic. I am convinced the human body is built for power, speed, and endurance, not just one or the other. Here is my schedule: Sun: Chest/Biceps/Light Legs + 1 Weighted Walk +50lbsMon: Run 1 Hr MinTues: Sprint 45 MinWed: Run 1.5 hrsThurs: Back/Triceps/Lower Back +1-2hr Weighted Walk +50lbsFri: Sprint 45 MinSat: Run 1 Hr My diet is 75% Raw, 25% cooked Vegan. I eat 1 cooked meal a day consisting of a cup or two of beans or legumes, maybe some cooked veggies. The rest of my food comes from nut salads, fruit salads, chop salads, seeds, etc. Stuff my mom makes me. I am eating raw local honey because my immune system was suffering greatly. My white blood cell count has been high and not dropped in weeks. I am in the process of totally eliminate grains. Down to rice, buckwheat, and oats. I am practicing hard not over eating, 1 dinner plate of food for my main meal, then a nut salad, fruit salad, and some fruit snicky snack. Tomorrow I meet Amy AKA Divamom for Ranchos. YAAAY.

Baby Hercules Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Glad to hear you are doing so well, Yeti. Have you tried soaking whole oat groats yet? Just soak them overnight for chewy goodness or two days for softer fare. They go well in smoothies, have lots of protein, and if you stir a bowl of them with a little melted coconut oil and some honey, they make a freakin' delicious breakfast cereal! Stay awesome!

Cellar Yeti Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Sounds yummy. I am trying to kick grains altogether though. Mom likes oats. I will pass that along to her. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellar Yeti Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Today was kinda crummy, my health is still on the mend and my allergies are going nuts. It was my short/fast day today, I aim for 45 min these days at about 4-5 miles. I managed to eek out 3 3/4 miles in 35 minutes. Or around a 9 and quarter mile. I feel like I did worse than I did, but considering my health and the hills where I am it's not too horrible I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellar Yeti Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yesterday I ran up a mountain, 6 1/4 miles. Today I did weighted dips off my suspension straps, walking lunges, chinups, and biceps curls. I want to buy a bicycle and start cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
