Irishcpl’s BodyBlog

I got up yesterday like normal and tried to go run but my body refused.  The whole Easter weekend had taken it’s toll.  I had a great time and that means drinking a lot of beer and eating some damn good crawfish!!  I really thought it would be harder to slip back into my old habits, boy was I wrong.  But just doing the eliptical was like walking through sand and then trying to do abs was a joke. 

 Thankfully I got my act together for my afternoon workout, chest.  It went pretty good; good weight and solid reps.  After a good nights sleep I went back today and busted my ass to catch up on what I missed yesterday.  I appreciate the way my body feels more now after putting it through the ringer.  Now I just have to make this a good week.

So Laura asks me to do legs with her yesterday and I agreed because we like working out together.  We are on totally different workouts so we compromised; she is doing circuits and I am on a steady pace slightly heavy lifting plan.  She tweaked my workout into a circuit and I didn’t think ahead of time to adjust my weights.  It was the most intense leg day I’ve ever done, I was sweating like I ran a marathon.  She was trying to kill me, I know it.  But after a gallon of water and a banana we were both satisfied with our work and I crawled into a hot-tub to recupperate. 

Here is how she tweaked my  schedule, everything is 4 sets of 12:

 Part 1.  Leg Curl/Leg Ext

 Part 2.  Squat/Good Mornings/Leg Press

 Part 3.  Adductor/abductor

 Part 4.  Calf Press/Standing Calf Raise
