3 days in a row
Have worked out 3 days in a row now and I am glad to be back doing it after a week or so being sick. All day long I just think about how I want to go to the gym, I obsess about it sometimes. I have to be careful not to overtrain myself b/c I love being there lifting.
Yesterday was shoulders and today was back day.
I have some shoulder probs sometimes but I was able to do some pressing on the Hammer strength machine. I usually do dbell raises, but I did some cable work yesterday for lateral raise and rear delts and did dbells on front raise. Also did upright rows w/ a wide grip, not so close together. And finished w/ shrugs and a lil ab work. I also ran yesterday morning and did cardio post-weights for about 20 min. Not as intense as I was doing it before, but it was still decent.
Today was back, which I love to do. I always used to see ppl really neglecting their back in the gym, kind of how they neglect legs. The back is so big and so I really hit it with alot. I try to do 50 pull-ups in as many sets as it takes me, but today I got to 35 in 4 sets and then went to lat pulldowns to finish out. Then, deadlift, which I can’t seem to up my weight on, but I’ll figure that out soon once I start getting used to it again. I never really do bent-over rows, but today I did 2 sets w/ dbells and 2 sets w/ barbell. I have to say I don’t really feel it when I’m doing them. I also did T-bar row and then seated row. Finished w/ ab machine. No cardio today, although I did walk for about 20 min this morning. Might take 2morrow off, if not its a leg day… which is always brutal, b/c I PUNISH my legs. I was always skinny and I didn’t want to be the guy with skinny bird legs and an upper body that was not proportionate (is that a word?)
