Slow and Steady - Week 2 (Day 2…Again)
Well…due to a meeting that went over its alloted time by over an hour, my schedule for the day was shot and I had no time to work in my workout…especially since it is just my son and I on Tuesdays, I have to drop him off, pick him, up, dinner, bath, everything as my wife is trying to get her own business off the ground. Don’t get me wrong…not complaining…I love spending the one on one time with my son…just a lot to do and I have an appreciation now for what she goes through when I am off traveling the world for work. This weekend he and I are on our own for 4 days…I think we might go to the zoo over the weekend…the weather here is AWESOME!
Anyway…so I had to move my leg and abs workout to today…no big deal. I was still just as pumped and excited for the workout as I was yesterday…why? Well, I stuck to my diet yesterday and lost almost 2 more pounds. JoshBeme is so right…diet is everything. You can have awesome workouts…which I see a lot of in the gym (including my own), but if the diet discipline isn’t there…it is all going to waste. I know that if I focus…I could amaze people in my transformation.
For the workout…it was a good intense workout…my leg and abs workout always leaves me pouring sweat and breathing heavy…the entire time. I don’t rush between exercises in this workout because I have found that I end up not being able to breathe then and I end up with poor form, poor lifts, and overall get myself hurt. I take my time, focus on the excercise, maybe even lower the weight, and focus on the form and the burn. It amazes me how much this workout drains me…I am like jello when I get back…my whole body is weak. I will be better this afternoon once I refuel…but tonight I will be ready for the bed.
Here is the workout (supersets-well…kinda):
Smith Machine Squats: 135×10(x5)
Stiff Leg Deadlifts: 95×10, 45×12
Dumbell Walking Lunges: 30lbsx20ft(x4)
Lying Leg Curls: 70×12(x3), 90×10
Leg Extension (to failure): 60×35, 60×25, 60×20
Hanging Leg Raises: 1×20, 1×15, 1×16
Exercise Ball Crunches: 3×12
Planks: 3×1minute
Decline Situps: 1×12, 1×10
Thanks for checking in.

Nice job today. You have the right idea. I always know that any lack of my progress is due to my diet discipline breaking down. Keep up the good work. What business is you wife doing?
