Fitness Log #27

Day 27: Dec 28, 2009
Squats - 5x5@60kgs
Bench Press - 5x5@60kgs
Rows - 3x25@10++kgs
Push-ups - 3xF(15,15,12?)@Bodyweight only
Reverse crunches - 3x15

After a two week absence I am back to doing the Stronglifts 5x5 workout. Started easy and did workout A. Squats at 60kgs was easier than I thought, 70kgs would probably have been a better challenge but I did the reps with full range of motion in order to gain maximum results. No sense in getting injured at the start.

Bench press was heavier, but manageable. Inverted rows were replaced by upright rows. Could probably have gone higher in weight but I figured it was a replacement of an exercise to failure.

I hope to get back in the groove before my trip to the US. Emailed the local CrossFit gym, hopefully I get a reply soon. Time to go hardcore!

Lost phone

I lost my phone last Tuesday. I initially thought that I left it at home, for some reason I did not bother calling the house to confirm that. So as soon as I got home I was expecting it to be on my bed, under my pillows or on my desk... I was wrong.


So I told my mom what happened and asked her to cancel my plan (it's actually her account... yes I know). I would be getting a prepaid SIM card to replace my number instead as sooner or later I would have to cancel my account anyway. At first thought, I was concerned with the effort of trying to rebuild my contacts and losing some as well (especially business ones).

Then I started thinking what else I lost. No, I don't have scandals or porn in my cellphone. Some notes and actually a few somewhat numbers but not much security risk I believe.

So the next question really is, what phone do I replace my old one with? Any suggestions? Open line and can be used in N. Americas, Europe and Asia (of course) with most of the bells and whistles. The iPhone 3GS is on that list but will also consider alternatives.
