Zinger's fitness log and accountability

I can also vouch for Siege. Good place. I'm hoping to get back down there at least once more this year.
Is Apoc still doing OK? I haven't been there in maybe a dozen years.

Solo recovery workout this morning. Lighter weight, and I did split these into two groups and did supersets.

[zinger565]

Workouts the past few days, getting back into the groove after being out sick.

I came back after an 18 year break myself 😄 finally proved to my wife that it was worth carrying around my Impulse and Ion all these years - saved a bunch of money to get back into it this year lol

I'll have to come over to Siege sometime and check it out, I haven't played at any other fields yet, just been dong to the one closest to home. Heading down to Chicago next month to watch the NXL event which should be a blast though - maybe that'll inspire me to drive farther to play on some fresh fields

How was it coming back after a more-than-decade-long break away from it? I was surprised at how little guns have actually changed and how big mechanical and mag-fed stuff has become. Everything had moved away from mechanical when I left the sport and now mechanical is it's own thing, and electros are rarely allowed to shoot over 10.5bps...wild to think we were shooting 20+ back in the day

Yeah, it's crazy. I think it's really cool that mech has grown in popularity again. Still have my old bushy that could do 20+ on a good day, and picked up an 07 ego recently as well (along with a bunch of other goodies).

Do it! I'm usually there most Sundays and Wednesdays. I'll actually be at NXL Chicago all 3 days! I snagged a media pass and am also playing 7man mech and 3man.

Good! I was sick last week, so no workouts at all. Did workout with the trainer today to ease back into things.

I just came back to the sport after a 12 year break. I did play at Apoc back in the day, but haven't since I started playing again. I've been playing at Siege mostly.

Just joined MCB and saw this thread. How's the fitness coming along? And do you ever play paintball at Apocalypse? I live in the Madison area and that's the field I've been going to

Upper body on Monday, benched 135lb x 8!

Lower body yesterday, squated 265lb x 6!

PR check for bench press and deadlift next week.

[zinger565]

Bike ride down to the coast guard station, plus a little loop! Beautiful day.

[zinger565]

Nothing too crazy today, just 10 minutes of yoga and 20 minutes of upper body isolation lifts.

[zinger565]

Upper body workout yesterday:


Lower body workout this morning. Deadlift working set was 6 x 275lb, squat working set was 12 x 135lb. 3 sets of each.:

[zinger565]

Short bike ride, Mrs.Z's sun sensitivity was acting up, so we didn't push it.

[zinger565]

Workout yesterday with the trainer upper body. "Big" set was 2 sets of 10x125lb bench press.



Workout today with trainer, squats and deadlifts. Just working sets today. 3 sets of 6 x 185lb squats, and 2 sets of 6 x 185lb sumo deadlifts. Then some "tempo" deadlifts to failure.

Weigh-in Friday: 288lbs

Gonna try to make a weekly weigh-in. Overall I am concerned with my weight. I know I am severely overweight for my height, and I'm getting to an age where it will start to cause other issues. However, as I've mentioned before, I want to focus on strengthening my body before I commit to big calorie deficit. From 2014 to 2015, I was able to go from 255lb to 200lb fairly quickly, but it didn't last and I felt weak. I don't want to feel that way again.

The weight is already coming off. I'm down 12lbs from early March already.

[zinger565]

Had to cut my max deadlift attempt short, ripped open a callous and started bleeding. Got up to 6 x 275lb though.
