And we're back....

Update: After taking a LONG hiatus from blogging, we are back and hopefully armed with a refreshed drive. This post will be kind of strange and away from the norm, but it's relavent because Victerror is apparently losing her shit about it. The cause, a cookbook made specifically for the college student (not restricted to however) who likes to cook or attempt to, whether it be for him/herself or to impress the opposite gender :) I've had ideas about this for a long time now and when mentioned to Victerror, she was immediately onboard within a few milliseconds. Stay Tuned.

So, I've  started working out again, if I am going to lose my first triathlon, might as well lose it while looking as good as possible I guess. I jumped in with Angel today for his push workout.

Barbell Bench
Warm up: 135 x 8
185# x 6
205# x 5
205# x 4

DB Chest Press
75# ea. x 8
75# ea. x 8
80# ea x 6

TRX Push Ups w. Med Balls
15x
15x
10x

Horizontal Cable Triceps (Unilateral)
50# x 10
50# x 10
40# x 10

TRX Triceps Press
15 x 3 sets

I noticed that my triceps were not helping me whatsoever. As you can see, they were completely failing at the end of the workout, which was only an hour. Exercises 3-5 were given a 1 minute rest interval. The first two (build for strength and mass) were given a 3 minute rest interval. Pretty basic lift today, nothing cray, but it feels great to be able to press over 200 again. Been a long time since I've seen that kind of weight in my own hands.

Ok, onto some other stuff. Below are some pics of my new toy. Composition isn't the best, I know, but It was just a quick shoot. As you can see, I was not able to control the light as much as I had hoped, but overall, I think they came out decent! The only thing that bugs me is that since I wasn't able to create a lightbox situation, there is a little vignette effect going on. Oh well. I like the last one the best :)

and here is a teaser...

Long post, but starting off strong!
