Thur. January 10th, 2008 - arms/abs/cardio
Given my recent wrist pain, today didn’t feel too bad. I hit arms, then my 20 minutes of ab work, followed by 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Arm work consisted of incline alternating dumbell curls which, after failure, I’d stand up and do the same until failure. Then I hit hammer curls which don’t hurt my wrist because of the neutral grip. I superset bicep work with tricep work including rope press-downs, and overhead dumbell extensions.
Abdominals are getting easier and I’m able to do a few more reps per set. I feel I’m getting stronger in my trunk, but I can’t see it yet because I have that layer of fat where most guys get it and I think it’s keeping me from seeing my work. That’s why I hit the cardio after for about 20 - 30 minutes.
My diet is the thing that I’m having a hard time with. Since my ultimate goal is to GAIN 10 lbs, I don’t think I’m eating enough. I’m eating pretty clean, but need to feed the muscle more than I am. I’m finding it difficult to not only be able to afford the extra food, but find the time to eat it. At this rate, I’ll be 205 forever which isn’t bad; just not what my ultimate goal is.
