Oh yeah. I got some good eating in today. Stomach is taut like a drum but hey gotta get the food in.
Workout:
Bench
95 x 7
115 x 5
140 x 8
140 x 8
140 x 8
140 x 8
140 x 8
These felt really good. Not easy, but not horribly hard. Felt very nice joint/muscle wise
Squat
115 x 6
135 x 5
155 x 4
180 x 8
180 x 8
180 x 8
180 x 8
180 x 8
A little more difficult than I expected, but at the same time, about as hard as I should have expected. These were good
Pullups
12
10
7
5
I guess I should have rested a little longer, but oh well. I did the pause rest technique, but i could only squeeze a few more reps out.
Tricep extension
52.5 x 12
52.5 x 12
52.5 x 10 + 1 + 0.5
52.5 x 5
47.5 x 3
42.5 x 3
These were more difficult than I thought. I think it is because I used the rope attachment, while normally I use the straight bar attachment.
Kettle bell swing
35 x 10 (using DB)
70 x 20 (using DB)
70 x 20 (now using kettlebell)
70 x 20
70 x 20
These were good. I think I made my form a bit better. Before, I was using my legs in more of a squatting motion as part of the movement, but now I lessened it and used my hips to hinge like I am supposed to. I enjoy kettlebells. They are tough.
Got a great pump from this workout, haven’t felt that in awhile. Wednesday’s Workout should be interesting. OHP and Deadlift, with dips, barbell curl, and lunges. Dips should be interesting.
Being at the gym sucked today. Too many people. I’ve noticed something: I generally dislike being around a lot of people when Im doing stuff, especially working out. It bugs me. I hope we can get a home gym set up before summer… I don’t want to have to go when there’s a bunch of people. Too many mirrors, and there’s like a dozen tv’s everywhere. Its too distracting. Maybe one or two, in the cardio area, but not everywhere you look you see atleast 2 tvs it seems like.
I don’t like how many mirrors there are generally. Its useful sometimes, but it puts too much emphasis on praising/idolizing your own body, or at minimum making it very easy too. Its useful for the squat rack though, you can make sure your going the right depth, not leaning, knees aren’t buckling or whatnot, etc.
Workout took like 2 hours almost… not sure where the time went? I think it might be from when I was waiting to do tricep extensions, but I don’t think it would have taken up that much time. Then again, I am doing more than 3 main lifts now. Its 2 and then 3. 22 main sets in all, versus the at max 15 main sets from before. Okay, I guess that explains it then.
Mom has been saying some stupid stuff about my training (its not her fault she just literally doesn’t know). “You should set yourself a time limit on my training” “You eat too much protein” “Why do you need a plan can’t you just go and workout [doing whatever]”. Uh… No, No, and DEFINITELY NOT!.
Well Im gonna be sore tomorrow for sure.
Time to go shower and then go collapse in my bed. I want to go to bed, lay there for a few seconds max, fade to black for a little while, and then wake up refreshed.
