Gender: | Deep Breathing I am going put an old theory into practise from now on. In Judo, we learnt that by doing deep-breathing exercises our strength improves greatly. Unfortunately, i never took that seriously. The theory is that: if you do 5 minutes of cross-legged deep breathing every day as soon as you wake up, you will feel much more energised and your overall stamina and strength will improve. Being a teen-ager who wakes up everyday late for his schoolbus, i never implemented this theory - knowing fully well that it isnt bull shit. But i plan on doing this "routine" every morning as of tomorrow. Lets see if it pays off  |

Gender: | OVT Day 9 = Cardio + Full Body Stretching 9th February 2006 Thursday Day 9 of OVT Cardio + Full Body Stretching so i did cardio today, and i ran 4 kilometres... thats 1 more than last time...i did it along the same parameters as last time: 1 kilometre run at a time = high intensity + high volume... Overall Impression 1.) Ran 4 km = 2.24 miles 2.) Burnt up 300+ kcals (actually 317) 3.) My hamstrings are killing me and so are my calves 4.) Full body stretching was fun... I am still very very flexible ;) |

Gender: | OVT Day 10 = Chest and Back 10th February 2006 Friday Day 10 of OVT Chest and Back A1: Flat Barbell Bench Press 55 kgs | 50 kgs A2: Flat Dumbbell Flyes 14 kgs | 14 kgs B1: Incline Barbell Bench Press 45 kgs | 45 kgs B2: Incline Dumbbell Flyes 14 kgs | 14 kgs *as usual, the weights of the flyes are the dumbbells i held in each hand... C1: Lat Pull Down 70 kgs | 65 kgs C2: Dumbbell Alternate Hand Rows on a Flat Bench 30 kgs | 30 kgs D1: Standing Barbell Rows 60 kgs | 55 kgs D2: Cross Bench Dumbbell Pullovers 20 kgs Overall Impression 1.) Very very happy with flat barbell bench press... i will increase the flyes from 14 to 16 next week... 2.) Not very happy with incline press coz i took 50 kgs, but was flat out in the fist set itself, so as per kane's advice, i lowered the weight to 45 and continued for the remaining 4 sets :( 3.) Lat pull downs went well.. i will be able to take 75 kgs next week easy... 4.) The final set of dumbbell rows, i performed with a 8020 tempo (i guess) coz my lats were screaming and i was enjoying that 5.) Barbell rows were the highlight of the day, coz when i did TBT, i NEVER managed to do 5x5 @ 60 kgs 6.) I removed the seated rows coz there's always a rush for that machine at my gym... instead i added cross bench pullovers which were amazing.. 7.) GREAT workout...  |

Barbell Deadlifts 105 kgs | 100 kgs A2: Dumbbell Reverse Lunges 18 kgs | 18 kgs *i held 2 18 kg dumbbells in both my hands for lunges.. B1: Barbell Back Squats 75 kgs | 70 kgs B2: Leg Press 100 kgs | 100 kgs C1: Leg Extensions 75 kgs | 75 kgs C2: Leg Curls 50 kgs | 40 kgs Overall Impression 1.) Total time taken to complete workout = 1 hr 30 minutes 2.) I felt like puking twice in this workout.. so u can imagine how taxing this was on me... 3.) I did full body stretching after my workout which i have not included in the time taken to finish my workout... 4.) Unfortuanately, my leg extensions did not go up... but leg curls made up for that.. 5.) I am beyond thrilled that my squat and deadlfits have gone up... unfortunately though, they're gonna be stagnant for the next week i'm afraid... 6.) I've completed 2 weeks of OVT successfully... and looking forward to the last 2 weeks before i switch exercises 7.) GREAT workout ... loved the puking sensation... but i'm afraid i'm gonna be groaning in pain tomorrow..  |

Gender: | OVT Day 13 = Shoulders 13th February 2006 Monday Day 13 of OVT Shoulders A1: Standing Barbell Military Press 35 kgs | 30 kgs A2: Standing Dumbbell Side Raises 8 kgs | 8 kgs (thats per hand btw) B1: Standing Alternate Arm Dumbbell Presses 16 kgs | 14 kgs (this is also dumbbells held in each hand) B2: Cable Front Raises 7.5 kgs | 7.5 kgs C1: Cable Rows to Neck 35 kgs | 27.5 kgs C2: Bent Over Side Raises 16 kgs | 14 kgs Overall Impression 1.) Next week i think i'll be able to increase the load on all secondary exercises in a superset. 2.) I never thought i'd be able to do 35 kgs presses, but i managed to - with perfect form. 3.) I did cable front raises with a 8020 tempo.. you can only imagine the burn..! 4.) Decent workout. I think i should have been able to take heavier weights in all my lifts. I just didnt because i am afraid i mgiht get stcuk. So i'll increase gradually. But, to be 100% honest, i think i'll probably get stuck at 40 kgs for the military press... but lets see... |
