Friday 8/25/06 5:15am
Back
Wide Grip pulldowns 120/10,135/10,150/10,150/8 Long pulley row 120/10,135/10 X 3 TBar 45/10,70/10X3 Close grip pulldown 135/10 X 4
Short but sweet.
Notes: 1. Doing very strict, slower reps to really feel the back- in the past I've gone heavier and turns somewhat into an arm workout. 2. The T-Bar is the type you kind lean over on- my lower back got injured last winter and I still dont' feel totally stable to do the regular T-Bar- I'll get there-- this just may be me being paranoid about hurting my back. 3. Felt a little low on energy but not bad. Need to up my food!!
Looking forward to hitting legs tomorrow (Saturday).

Sat 8/26, 2pm Legs:
warm up: few sets of leg extensions back squats: 135/10,185/10,205/10,205/10 leg press: 360/10,450/10,540/10,630/10 Standing ham curl: 40/12, 50/12x3 let extensions: 120/10x2, 150/10x2
It was a great workout. I upped my lbs on leg press and ham curls. As of this post (Sunday morning) I don't think I'm sore enough so next time I'm going to up the intensity some more.
I began using a block on squats- posted a question for you guys in the training section about that.
Mike

8/26/06 Sunday CHEST & Calves Flat dumbell press 70/10, 75/10,80/10,90/8-failure,90/6-flr,75/8 flr Incline Smith Bench Press 135/10,155/10,155/10,175/8-flr 135/10-flr Cable crossover (using low pulleys) 30/10,50/10,40/10,20/15 Cable crossover (high cables) 50/15,60/15,60/10,50/15 Calves: Standing calf raise. 265/15,265/12,265/11 ** Notes: flat bench dumbell press-- did more sets of these today- just a GOOD day for chest. Cables: Never done the low cables- different feel- liked it. Calves- I have been criticized before for not going low enough (stretch) at the bottom- I'm not very stiff or short tendon - back and front of ankle. I tried to use this calf exercise to go low and stretch the achillies tendon--- in my thread on squats and using a block, Beckie suggested that my tendons or soleus are stiff- I'm going to use every oppourtunity to stretch these out to get that problem worked out. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

It was a great back workout- felt really strong. I did eat a small steak and brown rice late last night- just happened that I was hungry then- VERY hungry.. Didn't know how that would work out eating late- maybe that's what gave me the extra fuel this morning.

Wow - got some killer work outs going on in here man!! I love those low cable flye/crossover's, it's one of the few exercises where I really feel like I'm getting a lower pec workout.
Keep pushin'!!

I also was out of town for Labor Day- to Nebraska to visit friends Anyway- I've still managed to make it to the gym for several workouts so I'm on track. Still struggling with the diet but I'm workin' on that too--- as long as I realize I'm not there yet and am still workin at it that's what counts right?? ;D Thanks for your support Tim- I couldn't continue on this road of craziness without support from this board. ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png) Mike
