Keeping Steady
Not much going on. I’ve been working out, hard and heavy. Tomorrow is leg day, love it, hate it and it’s necessary. I’ve grown my legs an inch, I’ve lost some bf, no weight loss though. I’ve had to improvise my cardio. My left ankle gave me hell after a 5 mile run earlier this week, I was limping around like a fool, my cardio came to an end. I tried the Stairmaster yesterday, but atfter 15 minutes my ankle protested. I called it over, nursed myself. I hit the Precor machine today, ankle was okay, I worked up a good sweat. I changed my back workout, working with cables. I started doing cable pull-downs standing up vs. sitting down on a lat pull down machine. Having to balance yourself while doing so is grueling and quite involved. You really have to engage your core, be mindful of your stance and stay true to form. It takes quite a bit of concentration, mind and muscle connection, it worked for me. My back was sore last night and today my soreness is off the charts. I’ll be back at it tomorrow. Some good muscle definition and mass coming on, I’m just not leaning out. I’m doing better with my eating, I guess I just need to be a tad bit more patient. On the bright side, at least I haven’t gained!

I hate leg days too. As much as I try to stick with free weights, I often find myself using cables when I don’t have enough time or a muscle is sore. Keep it up thru the soreness, just don’t strain too much.
