[Jake Vigil]

Alright so I've been fairly active on this board for a few months now. I have also been into Parkour for quite a while now. I keep seeing people's training logs, and keep imagining myself creating one, but It just doesnt seem like the right time do start a log.

Oh well. Im starting it now.

A little bit about myself physically.
Height - 6'1"
Weight - 140
Age- 17 in 5 days
{EDIT 11.18} Age 17

I haven't really tested weight maxes in over 2 years.
However, I can do about 30 consecutive pushups and about 6 consecutive pullups and MAYBE 4 dips. Pretty lame. I can run quite fast but my stamina is terrible. My best run was 1.2 miles in about 6 minutes... and I have no idea how I managed.

Todays Diet.
A bowl of grapenuts for breakfast
A bag of munchies for a snack
No lunch
Salmon, rice, and Salad for dinner
Some candy
A half cup of oatmeal.
Oh... and a little less than half a gallon of whole milk.

Todays activities
20 pushups x 3 = 60
6 + 3 + 3 pullups
30 squats x 3 = 90

Current Goals.
Horizontal Flag
20+ second freestanding handstand
Muscle up
20 consecutive pullups
50 consecutive pushups
Being able to consistently run a mile
{Edit- More}Handstand from Planche
Flips {/Edit}

Trying to take it easy on my legs and my left wrist (shinsplints and something unknown)

Anyways, its not pretty, but its a start.

[Chris Salvato]

eat more protein...you are eating mostly carb.

only protein source you had all day was a piece of salmon...with rice >.<

[Jake Vigil]

I had some milk. . And I hate rice, so it wasnt very much rice. Like 1/4 cup cooked... maybe.

I eat a lot of Tuna... Ill just start eating a can a day.

[bioobird]

your going to log your diet AND workout?

thats waaaaay to much memorization for me haha. but good luck, well be watching you!

[Jake Vigil]

Hah, its not a whole lot for me to remember. I dont workout that hardcore

Anyways.

Today's Diet
Big bowl of Cheerios
2 of Muse's Mini quiche's (Accidentally left my third one sitting on the counter when I left... I was so angry)
No lunch
Half a chicken Burrito bol from Chipotle
1 Pork Chop, about half a cup of green beans, and about a cup or a cup and a half of sliced fried potatoes.
1 medium slice of Caramel Apple Pie.
About 1/3 gallon of milk
Can of Tuna drizzled with EVOO

Today's Workout
7 pull ups
4 dips
Flag Practice

^ at lunch

6 + 5 + 4 pullups = 15 + 7 = 22
14 + 20+ 15 + 15 push ups = 64
Handstand practice plus about 4 HSPU negatives.

Think thats about it so far. I might go do some more pullups, pushups, crunches, or squats later. Maybe some practice jumping up my stairs.

[Chris Salvato]

Getting better with the protein

The big bowl of cereal made me wince, though

[Jake Vigil]

What is a better substitute for cereal then? I don't have a whole lot of time in the mornings. Would Oatmeal be better?

[Chris Salvato]

oatmeal with hardboiled eggs woudl be perfect.

You can hardboil a whole bunch of eggs -- like a dozen -- at the beginning of the week and eat 3 with oatmeal and you're golden.  Some berries if you like too -- BLUEBERRIES FTW 

[Jake Vigil]

Alright, Sounds good. Berries are expensive though. But... they are Ohhh so tasty.

I might just start waking up like 10 minutes earlier and scrambling some eggs as well or something.

[Jake Vigil]

Oh Joy... today was rather... meh

Today's Diet
1/2 cup of oatmeal
4 eggs
1 poptart
-
Leftover Muse-quiche (Probably equivalent to about... 4 eggs worth? Hard to say, it was in a pan, I microwaved it and sprinkled some shredded cheese over it)

Very Large Peanut butter and Honey sandwich (Probably about 4-5 tablespoons of PB)
-
1 1/2 cup of some sort of beef (guesstimate)
Bag of Doritos
Blue Monster
Coffee

Today was a long day... I might be forgetting a few things. Im not sure.


Today's Workout
My Pushup/pullup muscles are quite sore today, though, I did get some stuff in
Good handstand practice
About 15 6-8 second vertical flags (Attempted to lower) Each arm.

Took my siblings to the park, we played this game I made up for all of our benefit
When we were on our way there and back (its about 1/3 mile to the park) we had a race of sorts.
My sister (Age 6) got 9 jumps
My brother(age 9) got 7 jumps
I got 4 jumps.
(It went in rounds. My sister would Jump as far as she could 9 times, then my brother would go, then Me, and see where we were. Then we would continue)
We broad jumped about half the way to and from home.
All told, I probably got in about 100 broad jumps today.
(Does that even make sense?)

Thats about it, I think.

[Jake Vigil]

Oh, I suppose it might also help to mention that I am hoping to gain weight. I am quite thin (as mentioned in my first post..) looking to put on a few pounds (preferably muscle mass )

Anyways. Here goes the day.

I know I am going to forget a lot... Ive been a bit sick these past 2 days

Today's Diet
Large bowl of cereal (just didnt feel like making oatmeal)
Homemade Pizza (3 slices)
A few slices of Sharp Cheddar Cheese
*Crapload of nachos (Home-made: Chips, Ground beef, lettuce, black olives, black beans, shredded cheese, guacamole, sour cream, green chile)

*How much is a crapload? Its about a 9 inch plate stacked about 5 inches high with stuff)

Today's Workout
Found some bricks out behind my house... Precision time!

About 15 min precision practice (differing distances)
A few pullups
A few pushups

Worked on handstands a bit, Tried (and failed) to go from Planche to Handstand. Almost there



I am going to call today a rest day.

[Dylan Baker]

I did my first HSPU yesterday (Three of them, actually) on the ground. I plan on making some parallettes soon, then I will work full ROM.
More on that in a bit.

[Jake Vigil]

12-1-08 Log

Diet
1/2 cup oatmeal
3 scrambled eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 pop tarts
1 banana
half a bag of Carmel Corn Quakes
1/4 chipotle chicken burrito
2 8 oz GoFasts
Imitation qdoba burrito, made by my mother (Beans, Rice, ground beef, cheese)
1/2 gallon Whole Milk

Thats mostly it, methinks

Workout
I felt EXTREMELY weak for some reason. Not neccessarily sore, Just... weak. I could barely hold a flag, I could only manage a few pullups, Pushups felt rediculously harder than they should have. Its like all of a sudden I gained 20 pounds or something.
Anyways, it went something like this
Minimal Flag Practice at school
about 10 minutes total handstand practice.
about 10 pushups.
3 weighted pushups (About 30 pounds)
5 or so pullups
3 HSPU's
2 dips

Pathetic

Injury?
I think my knee may be injured. Yesterday it felt really weak as well, and a bit sore.Today (12-2 as of filling out the log for yesterday)I was walking up the stairs, and when I twisted my foot to turn, it felt like something tore in my knee, and now it hurts.

Dammit!

[Jake Vigil]

Its been a while since Ive posted, due to a combination of things...
Grounding (mainly) and the computerlab at school being down= no access to computer, till today.

The past week and a half or so that its been since I posted has been.. decent.
I havent trained a whole lot due to my knee (Going in for an MRI tomorrow, I believe it may be a torn Meniscus and I dont want to risk damaging my knee any more before I see what I need to do).
I've been doing conditioning though, and have started wrist strengthening (sortof like sledgehammer excersises but using an adjustable dumbell with a weight at one end... looks something like this  ----[|||]---().)
Diet has been alright, I seem to be gaining about a pound every 5 days or so, lean muscle.
I was sick a while ago (didnt eat for 4 days after hurling what had previously been in my stomach) so that was a bit of a setback towards my weightgain goal, but Im back up to where I was before now. I tried to GOMAD a while ago, but was unable to consume the entire gallon due to lack of time, mild lactose intolerance, and a whiny mother who insists that too much milk is bad for me. So its more of a HalfGOMAD for me, plus cheese . I love cheese.

I can do 2 pushups with my oldest brother on my back now, who weighs about 60 pounds. I hope to eventually be able to do it with all my siblings on my back (combined weight of about 130 pounds at 60, 40, and 30 pounds)
I can also do a few dips with my backpack on (about #10 or so, not too heavy).

I dont have access to a barbell, so deadlifts and the like arent options for me.
Basically, I remember from reading the How to construct a workout routine article that strength gain requires about 3 max weight reps, like 3 sets or something, correct? So is doing 3 sets of 3 pushups with my brother on my back helpful?
Oh yeah, Im going for strength now. (incase I didnt make that clear above)

I think that about covers anything worth noting (and a few things not)..

So... uhh, yeah. Thats all folks. I think. Maybe not. Oh well
