HST - Week 1 - W/O 1

The first 4 weeks of my workout is a progressive total body workout to help me gain some of my strength back. The Sulster calls it HST...but don't ask me what is stands for. I just do what I'm told.

DB Bench Press - 15 lb @ 15 x 2
Lat Pulls - 50 lb @ 15 x 2
Incline DB Bench - 15 lb @ 15 x 2
Seated Cable Row - 50 lb @ 15 x 2
OH Shoulder Press - 15 lb @ 15 x 2
Alternating Bicep Curls - 10 lb @ 15 x 2
Cable Tri Extensions - 45 lb @ 15 x 2
Squat - Olympic Bar (45 lb) @ 15 x 2
Seated Ham Curls - 60lb @ 15 x 2
Walking Lunges - 20lb @ 15 x 2
Seated Calf Raises - 45lb @ 15 x 2

Cardio - Elliptical 25 min intervals - 5/8

Although I have a long way to go in regaining my strength (these numbers are way way down from where I left off 2 years ago) the workout felt great. It just felt really good to be back in the gym for the first time in a very long time.

Tomorrow starts the diet - woohoo (NOT). I'll be posting my fitday journal logs here as well.

Getting back to business

Thanks for visiting my blog! Here I will be blogging about my journey back to the stage. I am a natural, drug free, figure and pro body building athlete. After having surgery to repair a torn labrum, rotator cuff and torn bicep tendon, I had to take 2 year hiatus from competition.

I have my sites set on a competition in June which gives me 6 mths to do things nice and slow (oh, and I have bunches of fat to lose and muscle to gain back). I am vowing to not only be back, but better than ever and trying competition in different organizations this year.

It won't be easy, but if it were easy everyone would do it! So now it's time to "Git'r Dun"!
