Some New Workout PRs

By Thomas, Filed Under Workouts   |   Share This: Follow Builtfit On Twitter   Stumble   Subscribe   Digg

I have had some good results with 5×5 workout routines, and this recent run has been great as well. Although I didn’t gain as much weight as Id like, my strength has definitely increased.

Here are some of my Personal Records (PRs) I believe.
Deadlift
375×4
Overhead Press
160×5

Note these are done at 177-178lbs. Previously when I was near this I was around 185lbs.

These are some of my recent lifts. I will be changing my workout routine soon as I am at the end of my run of 5×5 workout routine.

Happy New Year

By Thomas, Filed Under Personal   |   Share This: Follow Builtfit On Twitter   Stumble   Subscribe   Digg

Happy New Year to Everyone.  Builtfit.com has been around for a year now and doing great.

I plan on releasing a new design soon, and adding free workouts to the workout routine page.  If you have a workout you want posted there, let me know.

I plan on starting a new 5×5 routine today, which I am looking forward to.  I am shooting for about 4250+ calories per day now.

I slacked a little during the Holidays and my weight is probably around 174.  My goal is to get above 180 in the next 9 weeks.

I am not looking forward to all those people starting their new years goals today in the gym.  It will be crowded for sure.
