Fall '07 - Lower 1, Week 19

Overall Impression:

legs were sore as fuck today lol.....well, not really....my quads and hams are really sore. my calves felt a little tight but i stretched them (along with everything else) and they're ok now...mental note: no running before a lower workout haha....

so i narrowed down what my cardio options are:
1.) track running
2.) eliptical from lifefitness
3.) jump rope

so ill be doing these 1x a week. running will be for 30-40 minutes (it depends more on distance actually) while the eliptical work will be 60 minutes plus and the jump rope skipping will be 20 minutes odd.

today my diet was good. i ate 8 oz of smoked salmon for lunch and another 8 oz of it for dinner i also had a few shakes, etc...im trying to get all of my protein in so thats good. i had corn and some salad with that. and bread. and no coke. yes, no coke

i was trying to figure this out: as i mentioned sometime before, ive noticed that in a way i am doing carb cycling without intending to and this is how its looking:
monday to friday = high carb
satuday and sunday = low carb
now, is it odd that only on saturday and sunday i look really bloated? all i eat is sushi and maybe 1 mexican meal.

injury update: lower back is feeling tight.

Deadlifts = 3 sets x 5 reps x 165 lbs

this felt pretty ok. my lower back was feeling wierd. because i slept for only 3 hours last night i took a long nap today from 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm and i woke up sleeping in a really wierd position. i think thats why my back felt wierd. nonetheless my reps were good. thats why i stopped at 5. i could've done 4 more reps or so but i think my form would've degenerated rapidly.

GHRs = 3 sets x 9 reps

no video im sorry. the gym was too crowded today.

Front Plate Squats = 2 sets x 10 reps x 25 lbs

Ab Circuit = 15 reps

so for ab work (additional), i did 4 exercises:
- crunches
- leg raises
- cycling in the air
- this exercise is tough to describe. u lie on ur back and u move ur feet parallel to the floor crossing each other left to right. in the sense, ur left foot will more rightwards and ur right foot will move leftwards and u will overlap each leg at every rep.

Reverse Grip EZ Curls = 2 sets x 10 reps x 50 lbs

Leaving Thoughts:

cool workout today. im pretty happy actually. i just want my lower back to heal fast. im trying hard not to get too depressed by this injury.

i saw the bourne ultimatum today. very cool movie.

cheers and have a good week y'all

thanks for reading!
