Joe’s BodyBlog

I established a balance between my bulking diet and workout schedule. I got used to eating 7 times each day and realized that every day I am consuming 2 and a half pounds of either chicken or lean beef along with 3 cups of vegetables, 5 baked potatoes and dozen eggs. So far, so good and I have put on 8 pounds and am gaining mass in my arms, chest, shoulders and legs.  At first I thought that eating like this would be a difficult adjustment because for the past 16 months, all I thought about was losing weight, so this is an interesting paradox.
 
Tonite I worked my quads really hard and when I was finished they were on fire.
 
Extensions
200 lbs x 12, 200 lbs x 12, 220 lbs x 12, 240 lbs  x 12, 260 lbs x 12, 260 lbs x12.
(260 lbs was the entire rack) My quads were on fire.
 
Hack Squats
100 lbs x 15, 200 lbs x 15, 300 lbs x 15, 350 lbs x 15, 400 lbs x 15 , 400 lbs x 12 (personal best)
 
Leg press
200 lbs x 15, 250 lbs x 15, 300 lbs x 15, 300 lbs x 15, 350 lbs x12, 400 lbs x 12
 
Dumbbell lunges (10 steps each side, used good form and was careful not to strain my back.)
50 lbs x 10, 55 lbs x 10, 65 lbs x 10, 75 lbs x 10
 
Threw in a little calf work
Calf raises 
250 lbs x 30, 350 lbs x 25, 400 lbs x 25, 450 lbs x 25
 
I really wanted to tear my legs up so I finished off with:
Stair master- 25 minutes.  My legs were on fire and I sweated like a pig.
Eliptical- 30 minutes legs felt like rubber afterwards.
 
Gym time 145 minutes.
 
I’m gonna be really sore tomorrow- bring it on!

 
Each day is a victory!
