Weighed in at 172.5lbs today.... I dropped weight. I think I've been workin too hard and not eating enough. Gotta stop being lazy and bring real food to work.
Deads
-60kg x 5
-80kg x 3
-100kg x 2
-110kg 5x5
Well we're dropping back down to volume deads now. Kind of a reset if you will. It wasn't too heavy but I haven't done 5x5 deads in a long time. Got me sweating pretty hard. The plan is to keep up the 5x5 as long as possible then 3x3 then max again.
BB Military Press
- bar x 5
-65lbs x 4
-85lbs x 2
-95lbs 5x5
Resetting this as well. Following the same plan as deads/bench. This wasn't much of a struggle at all but it shouldn't be when you reset.
Overhead Squats/Snatches
bar 3x5 (one snatch per set)
30kg x 4 (snatch on every rep)
The shoulders allowed this to happen again todoay. I really like the oly lifts. Gotta figure a way to incorporate them more.
Hanging Leg Raises
bw x 12,11,9
Workin up to a 3x12 now.
Obliques
30lbs 2x10
40lbs x 10
Can't remember the name of these... You push a cable or band straight out from your chest. The tension is from the side to give you the twisting effect...anyone?
Diet
11:30 - 1 cup of oats with 1.5 scoops whey
1:30 - protein bar (30g protein, 25g carbs)
3:30- 1/2 of a huge steak
5:30 - 2 scoops gainer
7:30 - other half of huge steak
8:00 - workout
9:30 - PWO - 2 scoops gainer
Not sure what I'll have later. I can't believe I lost weight consuming all the fats and carbs like I have been. I guess the total cals were just too low.
Thougths
Well it felt good to reset and nail the workout. The new oblique exercise is kinda nice as well...should be a good change. I was really getting sick of DB side bends.
