Back and Biceps: Feeling Strong
This morning was back and biceps and most of my weights are up. I did preacher curls with 40# dumbbells, single-armed db rows with 40#dbs, seated lat pulls at 100# for 10 reps, and bent-over rows using 60# bb. I did 3-5 sets of each superset and kept my reps at around 8-10. My first two supersets were 5 reps and my third superset was three reps. My upper body is really getting striated. I have been working my legs 2-3 times per week, as planned. It feels like there are some improvements. They aren’t quite visible, yet, but I am positive that they will be improved by May.
As far as diet, it still clean. I have just been playing around with sauces, like I did before contest prep. I love curry—red, yellow, and green. And I also pumped up my chocolate pudding by using ½ the amount of milk (and using water for the other half of what the recipe called for) and a scoop of Muscle Milk. It made the pudding really creamy. Then I put a little dollop of whipped cream and some walnuts (good fat!). It’s really tasty! I read and heard from other competitors that the weeks following a competition are a prime muscle-building time, so I am trying to take advantage of this period.
I also did sprints up the stairs next to the apartment for 10 passes.
