Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - 24 Days Until My Last Amateur Contest.
Weight: 157.8 lbs. (71.73 kgs.) - Target: 150.0 lbs. (68.18 kgs.)
Today was our once-a-week non-weight training day and we focused on strength and endurance exercises and cardio.
Weighted Pull Ups - 6 sets of 5 reps with a 25 pound plate strapped around our waist. We used wide, narrow and hammer grip.
Push Ups - 5 sets of 10 reps. We did slow push ups with wide, narrow and normal hand position. Three of the sets were done with our feet elevated on a bench.
Weighted Hanging Leg Lifts - 4 sets of 25 reps, holding a 10 pound dumb bell between our feet.
Weighted crunches - 4 sets of 25 reps on a slant board.
Cardio - 20 minutes of 10 degree elevated, moderate speed tread mill. This workout was fun.
