TGI the weekend
Well, I missed yesterday’s blog but here goes it. On Friday I worked my legs & abs, and since it was my second leg workout in a month I had to do it, even if it was at 11:00 pm. I started with my warm-up of leg extensions (LE) 50 and 70 lbs for 12 reps. Followed by deep squats of 95, 105, & 135 for 6 reps. I am pre-exhausting my quads so I began my leg workout with LE pyramiding up 90, 110, 130 for 12 reps with no rest. 1 min. of rest before 150 for 12 1 min rest 170 for 8 1 min rest before going back down. 170 for 8, 150 for 12 & 1 min rest for both, 130, 110, 90 pyramiding down with no rest 12 reps. Next was deep squats, a** to floor, 2 sets of 10 with 185, and 2 sets of 6 with 205. I supersetted smith machine calf raises 2 sets of 185 with toes in & 2 sets toes out and 1 min rest before going back to squat. Deep hack squats 3 sets of 12 with 90 supersetted with 3 sets of 12 seated calf raises with 120 lbs. & 1 min rest. Finished up my legs with LE. I did these for the pump and to compare how my body recovers from the same workout that I did last week. I did a 70 & 90 lbs for 25 reps & no rest. Did another set 90 & 70 lbs for 25 reps & no rest. For abs I supersetted decline crunches and hanging leg raises, 2 sets of 20 & 2 sets of 12 respectively. I will stick with this for about four more weeks before changing up to a lower rep sets. Legs are a priority for the next year. I like working quads and hamstrings seperately, It allows me to focus more. I went running yesterday for about 2 miles nice and easy. Today is a day off from the weights, but I ran bleachers and did sprint work @ 8:00 am. I didn’t eat until 12:00 (oops). I had spinach lettuc with tuna (7.6 oz.) and Paul Newman’s balsamic vinagarette. At 1:15 I had a couple of slices of cheese quesedilla. My wife is experimenting and I’m her guinea pig. Normally I wouldn’t eat again until 3. At 3 I had a Isopure shake, with 6 oz. 2% milk and a banana. I’m going to be hitting the road soon so dinner will probably be chicken. I took some pictures today that I will be posting. Men lie, women lie, the camera don’t.
Finish strong, holla!
