In response to some interest in logging 'weight moved' from Monique's post about exercise challenges, here is a new one!



On Monday, start logging your weight training workouts, for each set keep track of the weight and reps. Your total poundage is the sum of all the weight*rep calculations.



Log daily to help keep track. I might create a shared google doc over the weekend, I might not Most likely I will just take the #'s every couple days and log them into a spreadsheet and report weekly.



The race is to 1,000,000 lbs!!

For example, yesterday:



OP: 45X12, 65X8, 95X6X3, 85X5 = 3195

Upright Row: 85X6, 85X8X2 = 1870

Curl: 30X6X4 (x2 arms), 20X4X4 (x2 arms) = 2080

EZ bar curl: 30X8X4 = 960

Skull Crusher: 30X10X4 = 1200

EZ bar press: 30X6X4 = 720

Dumbell press: 45X8X2, 45X5 = 585

Close grip press: 95X6X3 = 1710

Dips: 180X6X2 (80lb assist, 260lb me) = 2160



Total: 14,480lbs

Looks like you'll make it to a million in no time!

Leg day is around 20,000-25,000 lbs... it's a 4-8 week race I would think, depending on who gets involved... If this is just me it will suck

I only lift twice a week for the tri training so I'm pretty sure you would blow me out of the water. How would you consider body weight btw? Like I do calf raisers for example. Do I get to count 180 lbs x 80 reps? Or does it have to be extra weight?

I don't count body weight, unless you're doing pull ups/chin ups/dips, otherwise my squat would be awesome If I do calf raises, I'll either use the smith machine or just a weighted barbell (or in the busy gym wednesday, after I finished my leg press, I racked the weight and then used it for calf with the stop in place).

I usually do toe risers on a stair or something. I don't see the point in waiting on the machine when there's like 30 perfectly good stairs right there. Haha.

good point! grab some dumbbells next time

Yesterday:



Leg Press: 235lbs x 24 reps = 5,640lbs

Arm Curls: 50lbs x 27 reps = 1,200 lbs

Incline Bench Press: 60lbs x 24 reps = 1,440lbs

Shoulder Press: 50lbs X 24 = 1,200lbs



Total Weight Lifted on February 10, 2008 = 9,480lbs



I do this routine every other day so I would have about 29,000lbs per week at this pace which would get me to 1 Million pounds in 34 weeks. I think I will need to lift more to be competitive.

I think I understand. But I'm not so good at math, lol.



Leg Press:

235lbs x 15 reps = 3525lbs

250lbs x 15 reps = 3750lbs

275lb x 15 reps = 4125lbs



Leg Extension:

120lbs x 30 reps = 3600lbs



Leg Curl:

120lbs x 30 reps = 3600lbs



Calf Raises:

70lbs x 30 reps = 2100lbs



Biangular Chest Press:

120lbs x 30 reps = 3600lbs



Chest Fly:

60lbs x 10 reps = 600lbs

70lbs x 20 reps = 1400lbs



Shoulder Press:

60lbs x 30 reps = 1800lbs



Biangular Row:

120lbs x 30 reps = 3600lbs



Bicep Curl:

60lbs x 10 reps = 600lbs

70lbs x 20 reps = 1400lbs



Tricep Pushdown:

120lbs x 30 = 3600lbs



Total Weight Lifted 2/10/08: 37,300





If I didn't add this up right, somebody let me know.

Wow, you're going to make me squat more to keep up



Looks good guys!! I'll keep track tonight...

Starting at zero...



Yesterday, Shoulders & Arms...



OP, Smith - 95X6X5 - 2850

Upright Row - 95X5X4,95X4 - 2280

Lateral Raise - 20X7X4 (X2), 20X6 (x2)- 1360

Bi Curl - 25X8X2 (X2) - 800

Standing Curl - 30X8X3 (x2), 20X4X3 (x2) - 1920

FWIW, still in the first week here (and only one workout logged)... I suggest getting on this train before I do my leg workout tonight

I wasn't able to make it to the Gym yesterday so I am heading there tonight.



I don't see myself winning this competition. You guys lift a heck of a lot more than I do.

Do an extra set! and regardless, I think it's going to feel pretty cool when we hit milestones like 100,000lbs, 250,000lbs, 500,000lbs
