B-1-Quads and Calves (4)


Yesterday's Workout

...and I'm all caught up!

Yesterday, I did low intensity cardio in the evening hours after my workout. (2 of 3)

I've been feeling tired as of late and a little bit under the weather but may be a function of the celebratory birthday weekend.

I didn't quite feel as strong yesterday but managed to push through no matter how lethargic I was feeling.

B-3-Back and Hamstrings (3)


This past Sunday's workout

No cardio this day as I met my cardio requirements for the week.

Like last time, I was working out coming off a day off, however, I didn't quite feel like I had as much energy as I'd like. At any rate, I went heavier with each successive set with the close grip lat pulldown.

For the bent row, I led off heavier but remained at the weight for the remaining working sets. Finally, I went lighter with the bench row, straight arm pulldown superset.

Also, stayed at the same weight throughout for the stiff legged deadlifts.

Last Friday's Workout

I did high intensity cardio AFTER my workout. (3 of 3)

I led off heavier with the slight incline presses and finished (for the last two working sets) at the heaviest I lifted last time as I was just barely meeting the low end of the rep range. I had to rest/pause during my last set just to get the 6th rep in.

For the incline DB press, I led off slightly lighter to get in more overall reps and it was good for 1 more than last time.

The rest of the workouts' numbers remain the same.

Today's Workout

Yesterday, on a day off, I did low intensity cardio in the morning (3 of 3) and I did high intensity cardio later at night. (2 of 3)

Trained at a different gym today. As such, exercises such as the leg press felt differently. The sled here felt a tad heavier and with weight, felt alot more heavier than the leg press machine I was using previously.

At any rate, I led off and finished slightly lighter with the leg press and finally, went heavier on my final working set with the squats.
