Fall 2008 Training
Mesocycle 1 - Week 2
Extra Workout #2
Beginning Thoughts:
Since this "week" is actually 10 days because of my over-anxiety to begin working out ahead of time (remember I took a 5 day study break for mid-terms?) I managed to fit in another Extra Workout. Focus was the same but I did a few more exercises and quite a few supersets. Broke into a nice sweat too Workout:
Overhead Squats:
70 lbs x 3 reps x 5 sets
90 lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
I won't be increasing the weight next time around. Infact, I'm gonna be reducing it a bit to work on technique more. Vids to come..
Pull-ups:
BW x 2 reps x 5 sets
BW x 3 reps x 3 sets
Supersetted with OH Squats
Unilateral RDLs:
45 lbs x 15 reps x 1 set
Dumbbell Swings:
20 lbs x 20 reps x 1 set
Push-ups:
BW x 15 reps x 2 sets
Supersetted with both Unilateral RDLs and Dumbbell Swings.
Dumbbell Figure 8:
5 lbs x 20 reps x 3 sets
Dumbbell Iron Wall with Twist
25 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets Videos:
Overhead Squats:
Overall Impression:
I think I've improved my overhead squats a bit. I hope that by reducing the weight next week and just focusing on technique a bit more it will help in honing in the "groove" for me.
I hope everyone's having a good week....The weekend is still (very unfortunately) quite a few days away.
Cheers

Is this a back-handed compliment?
"Your form was better but too bad you didn't go deep enough."
hehe

haha...
just in the last two videos you went so deep your back rounded and you were looking at the floor a couple times
this time you went deep enough...kept your back position, and kept your head level.
it was a pat on the butt compliment

Oh I see.....I figured that if I keep my head up and look straight I wound't lean too far forward. So I paid attention to that. However, last set I was too worried about the weight shifting like it did in Set 7.

it's especially hard work if you don't have somebody to shave it for you. takes at least 3-4 mirrors.

Humans have now been replaced by machines. We don't even need to see anymore. You just turn the switch on, and go "by feel"..whatever that means, right?
