Fall 2009 Training
Mesocycle 14 - Week 2

Pistol Squat Day

Beginning Thoughts:
I was unbelievably sore from yesterday's workout...it's been a long time since I've felt this much pain in my hamstrings....
Workout:
Pistol Squats:
8 + 7 + 5 = 20 reps
Some of the reps were downright terrible but thats what happens when I am in this much DOMS....The second set was the worst because I just could not get the 7th rep with my left leg - I had to stop at 6, do 7 with the right leg and then come back to do the 7th rep with my left leg leg. Terrible.

Pull-ups:
BW x 10 reps x 3 sets
Really meh with this.....

Core Training:
Ok so I don't know the name of this exercise but I've seen some very strong people do this and I've never been able to do this before. It involves hanging on the bar and then doing a sort of leg raise but raising your leg and your hips till you're inverted to the floor - sort of like standing on the ceiling. You are then supposed to do "dragonfly leg raises" but I am far too weak to do this bit. Infact, I've always been very weak to do this exercise but I surprised myself today. I did like 10-15 sets of 1-2 reps just to see how it felt and I've gotten the last 2 sets on video....Needless to say my form is terrible and I have a long way to go but the GREAT news is that it only gets better from here on out!!!

Pistol Squats and Weird Ab Exercise:
Overall Impression:
I have a lot of work coming up over the next 3-4 weeks. I plan staying on top of things school wise. I've already gotten my paper due on Tuesday done....I'm gonna start studying for my exam on Thursday tomorrow and my presentation 2 weeks from now I'll work on tomorrow night as well.

I hope everyone's had a good weekend. Good luck for next week and thanks for reading!
