I went into the gym to lift today for the first time in 7 days… I know I still have my cold and inner ear infection, but I seemed to be over the worst of it so I figured I’d try to lift…  I got in there and after 3 sets of 15 rep squats, I could tell my body wasn’t prepared for a workout yet…

It’s sorta depressing, but I’m taking every precaution to get better as soon as possible so I can keep pushing hard.  I NEED to be ready for competitions next year.

For those of you who don’t follow my log… I’ve been sick over the last 5 days with some crazy cold and I believe a sinus or inner ear infection in my right ear… I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow night… So I’m hoping to get back into lifting midway through the week Wish me luck!

For those of you who are following my workout logs… today’s workout is up and running in the forums

So… Today was an off day for lifting, but I decided to go into the gym and get a light workout in, specially since I need to keep hammering my calves for competitions next year!! 

Anyway, I just did 5 sets of forearm curls, supinated and pronated. 

Also did 5 sets of ab stuff on the decline bench

Did some minor exercises for shoulder rotator cuffs to keep them strengthened

And lastly, did a ton of calf set stuff mixed with…

1. 1-Leg standing calf raises

2. 2-Leg Machine Straight leg calf raises

3. Sitting calf raises with 100lb DB on knee/thigh. 

4. Burnout set of 25/25/35 reps with 400/300/200lbs on the freemotion calf machine.

It was a good light workout to get into the gym.  Now to eat!

Today’s workout is posted in the forums   Went really well despite maybe being sick lol.  Check her out!

Today was an off day but I went in and did a calf workout and did some rotator cuff / forearm exercises to keep my supporting muscles strong for my bigger lifts… Gotta prevent any potential injuries! 

Not liking the fact that I don’t have a lot of money for supps and food now   But it’s well worth it for my 2005 Pontiac GTO haha. 

Tomorrow is another hard back/leg day!! Looking forward to it! 

Train hard everyone

As I sorta posted in my log… I went to the lake this weekend and took two days off of lifting.. lack of sleep was getting me tired…  I ended up getting 11-12 hours of sleep per night this weekend… which was VERY MUCH needed!   Tomorrow is a big day for me, I get to see someone really close to me again (g/f)    ANd…. I get to go pick up my new vehicle I’m purchasing.. my 2005 Pontiac GTO….  So I WONT have time to workout tomorrow, and will continue posting my logs on tuesday.. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
