I just got home from a great back and arm workout. i can really start to see some improvement in my upper body except the abs. they are coming along slowly. i love getting to the gym when nobody is in there or only a couple of people. i am able to get going without having to slow down. i can keep my workout on track without missing a beat. Tonight i did bent over rows x 5 sets of 8-10, seated one arm iso-rows x 4 sets of 8, lat pull downs x 4, and seated cable rows x 3 heavy sets of 8. then i did 5 sets of close grip bench super-set with 5 sets of curl bars 8-10 reps each. i then went tp dips x 4 sets of 8 super-set with preacher curls x 4 sets of 10. i then did 5 sets of skull crushers followed by double arm cable curls x 5 sets of 10. then went to rope push downs x 4 sets of 8 with single arm curls x 4 sets. followed by hammer curls and over the head dumbell presses. each set of each exercise went up in weight, so i was able to feel the burn and get a great pump. I could feel myself grow tonight, this was one of my best workouts in a while. I was bad and didn’t do any abs or cardio tonght, but I will make up for it tomorrow. I still need to work on my diet to get to the point I can start to see my abs. I am already nervous about the show I’m thinking about I have gotten alot of encouragement on bodyspace, I just haven’t told alot of people in my life close to me. Some people just don’t understand what the big deal is. I am glad that bodyspace is here, gives me alot of inspiration.

I just got back from the gym doing legs. Leg day is by far the hardest for me, it just drains me. Today I had a good leg day, i set a new personal best of 1320 on the leg press for 3 full reps. i did 2 warm up sets and 5 working sets with rep range of 10-5 except for the set of 3. then i went over to the hack squats and I did 4 sets 1 warm up, progressing up in weight each time. I did some straight leg deadlifts after that 4 sets of 10 so i could get that good stretch. After that i did 4 sets of 8-10 on laying leg curls going up in weight on each set. then I did 5 sets of 10 of leg extensions going up each set, but making sure i could get full extension each time. finished this off with 5 sets of 15 of seated calfs. I plan on going back tonight and do about an hour of cardio. This has probably been one of my better leg days in a while, I could really feel the blood flowing through my legs. I have thought about adding a second leg day to incorporate stuff like lunges and front squats and do some reps on stuff like leg extensions and hams. more of a lighter day. I’m hoping that doing this will hrlp bring my legs along faster. If anybody is reading this if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.
