Thursday, August 25, 2011 5/3/1, cycle 2 - week 2 – bench Warm up sets 1x5@100 1x5@125 1x5@150 Working sets 1x5@160 1x5@185 1x8@210 3x10@150 1x8@150 1x9@150 DB bench press 3x10@50 DB Chest rows 3x12@40 Rear lat rises 3x20@25 Pushups 3x15 I think I’ve got my grove down now on all the movements. I dumped the machine for the chest rows and went to free weights and now I’m really feeling them. And 15 pushups may not sound like a lot but there was a time not to long ago when I couldn’t do any Today’s weight 297, I ate terrible yesterday and I’m paying for it today. When you take the crap out of your diet long enough for your body to get use to good foods, it will rebel if you reintroduce them. So Back on track today.

Nothing this morning, I woke up with the alarm and my body immediately said “go back to bed dummy”, and I did. I did go to the gym last night though an I tried something new I wanted to try a one mile farmer’s walk with 40lb kettle bells. I actually made it a little more than 1/3 of a mile before my forearms exploded. My hope was that I would feel it all over but it just wasn’t enough weight to really engage a lot more than my forearms because of that I’m not sure I want to try it again as there are better way to engage my forearms. Note: Farmers walk best with heavy weight for short distances, ensured in feet not miles. I did pick up on some movements that I didn’t do on Monday and Tuesday. EZ curls 1x12@65~ 3x10@65~ 1x8@65~ DB Curls 3x8@30 I worked really hard to try to keep strict form on both movements. LoL – there were people on both sides of me with more weight but the gyrations they we doing to lift the weights were better suited for a zumba class. Side bends with weight overhead 3x15W/20lbs 3x10 w/bar overhead - Those were interesting but I’m not sure how much I like them I mile pool jog *** I’m not sure what the EZ bar weighed so I assigned it a weight if 15 lbs but I actually think it is closer to 18ish I would rather underestimate it. Side Note: The theory goes: Fat Floats. Bases on that I assumed that I would be very buoyant. I’m not, with one exception, my big head is very bouyant. I’m not sure I like the implications of that.
