Last night at the gym was much better. Wednesdays seem to be less crowded. Joe didn’t workout with me he ended up getting a major headache and was just exhausted so he stayed home and slept while I went. I don’t think he’s quite used to working out yet, he’ll get there though.
I was able to have a total badass workout. I got to do my 5 min warmup on an elliptical. Then I went upstairs and got started on legs. Here’s what I did:
leg press 3×12x50
smith squats 3×12x50
smith lunges 3×12x10
seated calf raise 1×12x45 2×12x25 I almost made a fool of myself on this, 45lbs was too heavy for me and I couldn’t lift the weight back up to get it on the brace. So I just laid it down like I knew what I was doing and got up and lowered the weight. Apparently my calves are weak.
I was gonna do kickbacks but the machine didn’t have a attachment for feet =[
leg curl 3×12x40
leg ext. 3×12x30 this has always been a weak spot for me because of my funny knees, I wanna work on this.
abductor 1×12x50 1×12x85 1×12x100
standing calf raise 2×12x45 1×12x30 again having trouble with the calf machines, I couldn’t get the damn knob to adjust on this one for my height and the dude before me was quite a bit shorter, so I just sucked it up and did it.
adductor 1×12x40 1×12x70 1×12x85
ab machine crunches 12
ab machine side crunches 12 each side just wasn’t feeling this machine
roman chair leg raises ha, these are really hard 2×8 1×6 you gotta start somewhere
toe touch crunches w/medicine ball 2×20x4
Then I went and did 20 min on the elliptical. There is never a treadmill open in this place! It’s driving me crazy, but at least I didn’t have to do the bike. I did intervals on the crossramp elliptical, it wasn’t that hard, but I was sweating and after such a great leg workout I only wanted some light cardio. Tonight I plan on doing longer cardio, hopefully a treadmill will be open! (fingers crossed)
