11/24/08 - Ok… so pre workout I had:
1 Protein Bar
1 cup of Oatmeal with Splenda & Cinnamon
Went to workout:
A. MAX-EFFORT LIFT - Work up to a max set of 3-5 reps.
Box squats
Set 1 - 135 x 5
Set 2 - 155 x 5
Set 3 - 175 x 5
Set 4 - 195 x 5
Set 5 - 225 x 3
*** This went pretty well… the box I use is about 1 - 1.5 inches lower then parallel when I sit on it… I think it’ll do the trick though… These were good… I have an issue comming up off the box though… but I suppose that’s normal… I keep everything tight on the way down, and while I’m on the box… then spring back up… it’s pretty good… I think I’ll try a little heavier next week…
B. UNILATERAL MOVEMENT - Perform 3 sets of 6-12 reps.
Barbell step-ups
Set 1 - 115 x 12
Set 2 - 115 x 12
Set 3 - 115 x 10
*** These were retarded… I was absolutely soaked by the end of these… I also seem to have an issue with my gluteus medius… when I do the step ups… I have to make an conscious effort not to allow my knee to drift, or turn in on the way up… I think doing some band work back and forth should help that…
Something like this:
Or maybe side steps with bands…
Anyway…
C. HAMSTRING / POSTERIOR CHAIN MOVEMENT - Perform 3 sets of 8-12 reps.
Romanian deadlifts
Set 1 - 90 x 12
Set 2 - 90 x 12
Set 3 - 90 x 8
*** Pretty standard stuff… worked out well…
D. GROUND BASED HIGH REP AB CIRCUIT - Perform 3 sets of timed sets.
Example: sprinter sit-ups, V-ups, toe touches, hip thrusts.
Set 1 - 5 of each
Set 2 - 5 of each
Set 3 - 3 of each
*** I only did 3 of each at the end, cuz I was too cooked… I gotta get my stamina up… Gunna start doing a bit of cardio… Wednesday and Saturdays…
So that was that… a few people commented saying ‘looks like you were givin’r pretty hard there…’ etc… that could mean a lot depending on who said it… but I feel like I really gave it my all… Post workout:
40g Whey
50g Carbs
5g Creatine
5g Glutamine
300g R-ALA
Good stuff…
I’m gunna get some chicken and rice on the go there… then Prolly chill with the toob…
I took the day off… but tomorrow I gotta work… so I gotta get my shit together for tomorrow.
I still gotta get a cam… this would be a lot more fun to read with pics…
