I had four days off. I went into the gym for running and stretching but I took four days off from lifting because I got into a candy eating and drinking binge which destoyed me for the next day. I made sure to eat well last night and eat well today even though I slept most of it before I went into the gym and thankfully had a great four hours again. I didn’t do much on the lower body though.
I went in and ran a mile but could barely do it from lack of energy and then did like 15-20 minutes of stretching before giving up and sleeping for a couple more hours. I had ensomnia until sunrise and had to get up prematuraly at noon today for a meeting with Steve. I think I’ll have more to eat tonight just in case come to think of it.
After sleeping I went back and hammered. I drop setted pulldowns from 210 down to 100 or something and then drop setted the pullup aided machine but that’s all the upper body I did today because I got into legs until my four hours was up. I don’t like going over four hours because it gets boring after that and I have a life to live and a job to keep up with. I could go six hour a day without over training though.
I did ten sets of 10-20 leg extensions followed by calf followed by sitting leg curls. The calfs were with three 45’s and the legs were on 175. I was strong today. Then I did five sets of leg scissors out and in and the but swinging machine. The butt machine was on maximum for 30 reps at like 250 which is still light. That must be a machine for girls or something. The scissors in and out were on 150 at sets of 20.
I’m psyched for another four hours tomorrow doing my totally fresh upper body and core and leave the legs alone, although my legs feel fresh now. I guess that means I’m in shape. Cool. I didn’t do the hot tub today. Felt like it was a waste of time. I ran 5 k also in like 26 minutes. My calf was on the brink of injury for the second half of the run so I just brought it down to 6 and ran on my heel with no spring on the left side. I guess I’ll just continue like that and see how it goes. No pain no gain right? Even with the tendons. Booya!
