Tues Jan 29/2008

Well this morning was rough. Last night was the second night in a row that I didn't sleep well. Grrr. I was just plain too worn out to do deads and M Press didn't fare much better. I'm not going to let it get to me too much cause there isn't anything I can do but get some rest and hit it harder next time.

Deads
65kg x 5 (stretch)
95kg x 3 (warmup)
115kg x 1 (weight acclimation)
135kg x 0 ...oh man, rough day
115kg 3x5 (volume!)

Just plain worn out this morning. The volume work was kinda spur of the moment since the max thing just wasn't workin out for me. Its been a *long* time since I've done any volume work on deads so we'll see how I feel 2morrow.

BB Military Press
bar x 5 (warmup/stretch)
75lbs x 3 (warmup)
95lbs x 1 (weight accl)
115lbs x 1 (weight accl)
130lbs x 1 (heavy single)

This may or may not be a PR for me? Didn't really feel that great. I did 125lbs x 3 last time and I was hoping to hit this one a double but my energy levels were very very low. So I guess I'll take what I can get here.


Light Squats
bar x 5 (stretch)
115lbs x 5 (warmup)
135lbs x 3 (warmup)
165lbs 3x5

These went fine. Pretty tired from deads but good thing its like. Slight problem though...my hands start going numb when I do these....? Its starting to bother me. I played around with different grip widths and even tried the pad but that didn't help either.


Accessory

Pull ups

bw+15lbs 3x5

No rows today so I finished this. Yay, something went right. Also, I'm getting lighter so that must help. ha

Calf Raises

180lbs x 8
270lbs x 5
335lbs 3x10

Getting heavy and the machine is starting to run out of room to add plates. I think we're going to have to find something different to try.


Hamstrings

50lbs x 5 (warmup)
75lbs 3x10

Well the standing ham machine was busy so we went back to the sitting one. I'm staying light and really concentrating on form. This felt good. Back and ass on the seat.


Diet

9:30am - 1.5 scoops whey and bowl of oatmeal

10:45 - workout

12:30 - PWO - 1 scoop isolate

1:00 - chicken wrap and veggies

3:00 - canned chicken, spinach, olives, pickes, italian (pretty good for a cutting meal...lol)

5:00 - small steak, whole wheat pasta, veggies

thats it for now

Thoughts

Well today sucked pretty bad performance wise. Or at least compared to what it could have been but I realize it won't help to get down on myself about it. Just gotta get some damn rest is all. Almost time for mexico...just gotta keep that in mind!
