Fall '07 - Lower 2, Week 20

Overall Impression:

another lower 2 workout. why is it that they all suck lol? well today was good and bad.. ive been very very stressed out off late and my diet has really become like absolute crap for the last 3 days.

diet on friday was ok. got in all my protein, etc. but then on saturday all i had the whole day was just one slice of pizza. thats it. i just wasnt hungry and nothing seemed to interest me. then on sunday i had like sushi and mexican food but i wasnt feeling too good and no matter what i ate i just didnt like it. actually for the last 8-9 days ive been having a lot of acidity where ill wake up from my sleep every 3-4 hours to either feel like puking or wanting to have some water. but that ended yesterday. without sounding too gay i did some breathing exercises and some yoga stuff last night which kinda solved the problem.

so anyways, sad news is that i have 3 exams this week....1 was today and the next are on wednesday and thursday. that sucks balls. that means i had 8 exams in 2 weeks. damn....

anyways, enough jibber jabber...time to talk about weights:

Squats = 2 sets x 5 reps x 185 lbs

my lower back wasnt feeling ok so i quit. fucking A this is gonna take a while to heal lol. but i know my back has become stronger than before though. but it still has a long way to go.

Cable Pull Throughs = 4 sets x 10 reps x 50 lbs

i like this exercise. i did this with correct form where im more or less squatting and my back is tight and arched and my lower back is NOT rounding. it felt good. well, to be honest it didnt feel like anything on my lower back but my glutes and hams were pumped lol.

Standing Overhead Plate Side Bends = 3 sets x 12 reps x 10 lbs

Ab Circuit = 3 exercises x 3 sets x 10 reps

ok so i chose 3 exercises and did 3 sets of 10 reps in circuit fashion. exercise 1 is lying leg raises. exercises 2 is lying pistons where i lie on the bench, hold the bench with my hands behind my head and then i swing my legs (trying to keep my legs straight) to my face and then i lift off the bench focussing all my weight on my upper back/ rear delts and then i move up and down like a piston. its tough to explain this lol..i should've taken a video...my body is as perpendicular to the floor as i can make it. exercise 3 is crunches. well, my abs are gonna be sore as hell tomorrow and i plan on doing some running on the track at night tomorrow.

Leaving Thoughts:

i did tons of stretches for my lower body and lower back today. i think my injury is healing pretty well. im just a little upset about my squat getting fucked but its ok. im only 19. i know this injury will go shortly and ill still be only 19 when it goes. and if i work on my weak points correctly (as i am trying very hard to) my come back from a 185 squat to a 295 one like before wont take too long.

cheers and have a good weekend y'all
