http://ibenchthebar.blogspot.com/2009/08/whats-your-heart-rate-check-your-zone.html
I Bench the Bar! A blog for fitness newbies and experts alike. Friday, August 14, 2009. What's Your Heart Rate? I don't have a lot to say for this post. Have a ton to say for this post. But there are a plethora of perfectly understandable reasons for me not writing a whole lot right now, some of which I will quickly enumerate:. 1 I am at work. I should be working. No jokes, please).

I bring this up, not for the purpose of getting more people to drink their Jim Beam bourbon, but rather to illustrate that I had my very own "The Girlfriend" moment, and it went something like this:. And so we did. . So, while yo...

I Bench the Bar! A blog for fitness newbies and experts alike. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Taking the Next Step (or 14,000) Towards Mixing It Up. As I have mentioned prior to this post, one of the most enriching things as far as boosting my personal workouts goes is continually mixing things up. I don't like to get into too much of a routine- something that seems to go against everything most of us have ever learned about fitness. Let me clarify: I think routinely. Whose pleasantly plump contestants parti...

I Bench the Bar! A blog for fitness newbies and experts alike. Saturday, February 28, 2009. Shifting into a New Gear: The importance of mixing it up in my workouts. Today I had another intramural basketball game, and I've noticed a MAJOR difference in my speed on fastbreaks. I'd like to think that I could attribute it to my recent workout regimen, which- aside from weight lifting- includes a combination of plyometric workouts and runs various speeds.

"I Bench the Bar!": December 2008
http://ibenchthebar.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
I Bench the Bar! A blog for fitness newbies and experts alike. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. So, I was sitting contently in the upper-bowl of Energy Solutions Arena (up near the rafters, where I belong), watching my Utah Jazz wail on the 76ers.

Moral of the story: Don't get sick.
