One Blog… 2 Days….
So I actually had a really full day at work yesterday and couldn’t take time to blog about my workout. So I know the point of switching up from low reps/heavy weight to high reps/lighter weight is to cut down and shock your system, but damn. I was not ready for the fact I wouldn’t be able to move my shoulders after Mondays workout. After yesterday’s leg workout my legs were shaking uncontrollably, and I’ve never quite had the pump in my back that I did today. I love all these feelings, but it’s been since I first stepped into a gym that my muscles have reacted this way. I love this feeling and I hope the results will reflect the amount of work I’m putting in.
On a professional note, I’ve been assigned my first Six Sigma project as a black belt. We have a failure rate around 97% company wide in meeting the USL, so I guess improvement won’t be tough. Still I’m a bit stressed about leading my first project.
Tuesday’s Leg Workout:
Sissy Squats supersetted w/ Front Barbell Squats on the Smith:
bodyweight/90 x 15 each (4 sets)
Single Leg Extensions Supersetted w/ One Leg Leg Press
40/105 x 15 each (3 sets)
Leg Curls Supersetted w/ Dead Lifts
100/80 x 15 (3 sets), 85/100 x 12
Seated Calf Supersetted w/ Leg Press Calf

Wednesday’s Back Workout:
One Arm Lat Pulldowns Supersetted w/ 1 arm T-Bar Row
55/25 x 15 (4 sets)
DB Row supersetted w/ One arm straight armed pulldown

Wide Grip Behind the neck pulldown supersetted w/ Wide Seated Rows

At this point I really need to do some measurements. I’m still about 225, but I know I’ve put on a good amount of muscle. I have to keep reminding myself of this when I weigh in weekly.
