Pretty gassed after the farmers, think I’ll do some back work tomorrow. Also, started holding calf stretches following standing raises and ended today’s myo reps with alternating standing raises and 30s of stretching. Think I’ll keep doing this.
Also used the last of my pancake mix today, might be time to hop back on the diet (although my weight never stopped going down when off the diet). 10 eggs = 15 cakes!
My god, I love omelettes but somehow forget they exist. Haven’t had one in probably 3 years, and now I am literally salivating over the idea of a bacon and cheese omelette.
I think I’d need a bigger iron than that, gridle for cakes and pan for eggs is working so far. Maybe learning to cook something else instead of a different way to cook eggs would be a good idea
Quick back workout
Monday
Banded lat pull down 4x15x100
Cable pullover 12x100 3x20x80
working toward bodyweight on bar x20 steps ea leg for lunges. 20lbs under bodyweight wasn’t the end of the world, will throw on another 10 or so next time.
last rep on the final set of bench was a semi grinder. Been a long time since I hit this many sets of 8 at 225lbs, pretty close to the best strength I’ve had in this rep range. Used some straps at the end of lat pull downs to force my lats into a stretch. I figure if the prolonged stretch works for my traps and calves I may as well try it with some other muscle groups.
To keep with the theme of stretching I went with incline dbell curls and PJR pull overs. As much as I like training arms I’m thinking these 2 are all I need, pretty good pump from them.
Slightly wider stance on normal deads felt pretty good on the low back but I had a fairly noticeable hip shift at only 275lbs. Guess I gotta figure out how to dead eventually if I’m going to keep competing.
surprisingly good workout, toes got a little cold near the end though. Think I’ll make it through the 2 week shut down fine, little upset though because bench and farmers were coming along really well and those are no longer an option
Why isn’t bench an option? It appears that you have a bar so just do floor press. You could lie on an aerobic step to increase the ROM and a good hip thrust will get the bar into position to start a set.
I did floor press a bit in the last program, not a big fan of the movement, just feels kinda weird. Guess I’ll have to though if I want more than just overhead movements.
On the bright side my legs are getting pretty beat up with zerchers, deads, and lunges so no worries for the lower body
