Making_A_Change’s BodyBlog

This morning was legs and glutes. It seems like I am taking longer to warm-up. I spent alot of time on the leg press. I did get to 270# on leg press #2. I was able to do three ses of 10+ so I know I am stronger. I also did several sets of single leg presses, as I really feel those in my glutes. I did lunges, split squats, good mornings and wall presses (the ones that make your utt burn). I also worked on calves. I couldn’t go as heavy on the good mornings because my shoulders felt weak and there was a point where I had a bit of trouble lifting the 50# bb up and over my head. I am not trying to injure myself. The next leg day will focus on quads and hamstrings–favorite. I don’t dislike working my glutes directly, but you can’t watch them work like hamstrings or quads.

Tomorrow morning may be biceps, triceps, and abs. I didn’t do any cardio today. Tomorrow is 30 minutes on the recumbant bike.

I’ve been getting alot of inspiration by looking at national level competitors. There is so much that I want to accomplish physically and can’t wait to achieve my goals. I am finally feeling my brand of ‘normal’. My foods have been my own and clean and it feels so good. My scale weight on the 26th was 144. The following day was 143 and some ounces. Yesterday it was 142. And this morning I am at 141. I expect to level out at around 135-136 next week. My goal is to remain 10-15 pounds within my ‘competition weight’–whatever that may be.
