Week 2
I'm going to be changing my schedule up a little. Last week was a bit rough thanks to the female hormones. Felt GREAT early in the week, but the end of the week was so rough.
Sunday:
Father's Day plans take priority in my life. Took an unscheduled day off for him. My hero deserves that at the very least.
Monday:
4x7 w/ 75lbs, front squats
3x5 w/ 85lbs, front squats
7x5 w/ 135lbs, deads below the knees
4x8 w/ 22.5lb dumbells, standing lunges (I can't stand them!)
5x7 w/ 17.5lb dumbells, step up thrust
4x7 w/ 22.5lb dumbells, step up
Russians and flutter kicks to fatigue... GUARDIAN, I almost puked.
Legs felt GREAT after. I take only 30 second breaks between sets. I was jello walking to my truck.... LOVE that feeling.
Tuesday:
6x7 w/ 75lbs, front lat pull, close grip (shoulder width apart)
6x7 w/ 75lbs, front lat pull, wide grip (width of the bar)
6x7 w/ 75lbs, seated cable row, close grip
6x8 w/ 30lb dumbell, bent rows
5x8 w/ 15lb dumbell, reverse flys
4x8 w/ 15lb dumbells, delt raises front and side
Dropped the uprights and tossed in reverse flys. No problems with the shoulder.
I was able to kill my back since my grip kept up this time. 30 second breaks between sets. Back is going to be my favorite day, I can tell already.
Wednesday:
Off - shoveled the food and rested... kinda.
Thursday:
3x5 w/ 85lbs, front squat
6x7 w/ 75lbs, front squat
9x6 w/ 100lbs, deads to the floor
6x6 w/ 22.5lb dumbells, step ups
Russians and flutter kicks to fatigue... no pukage.
30 second breaks between sets. The legs got pumped fast. Thursday was extremely rough... first day of uuuuh, girly stuff. The cramps were horrible, but I pushed through them. I skipped the lunges and added sets to my other lifts to make up for it. I didn't miss them.
Friday:
6x6 w/ 65lbs, incline bench
5x8 w/ 17.5lb dumbells, flys
2x8 w/ 20lb dumbells, flys
4x6 w/ 17.5lb dumbells, standing curls
4x8 w/ 30lb curl bar, standing curls
2x6 w/ 40lb curl bar, standing curls
4x8 w/ 30lb curl bar, preacher curls
6x8 w/ 25lb dumbell, skull crushers
6x8 w/ 30lbs, cable press downs
Friday was the WORST day. My triceps did not want to cooperate. I had an overall ache from my visitor (the second day is always the hardest for me) Had to take longer breaks between sets and also felt it necessary to have a spot on the bench, just incase. If my triceps had been a person I would have slapped them a few times across the face... so disappointing, but otherwise a good workout.
Saturday:
Skating drills for 1 hour. Full gear, drenched in sweat. I have a tournament end of August so the ice time is necessary. Otherwise I wouldn't be doing any cardio at all.
Weigh in Saturday:
Gained 5lbs overall, 3lbs muscle. Not bad for two weeks. I'll probably notice a better jump in two weeks after drinking the 1% milk more often. I need a better carb source since I'm limited on that. bradpitt suggested Waxy Maize starch so I might give it a try... as long as it's gluten free. Anyone know that for sure????
Overall for week two: I felt a little off thanks to the hormones. The change to the schedule is going to work out for the better, I think. Monday/Tuesday/off Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/skate Saturday/off Sunday. Didn't have my training partner available to help with power cleans so I'll need to get those going this next week. Diet is going strong, but I'm still tweaking it.
Time to eat, again. I'm taking today off to start the new week. I had a FABULOUS time earlier today.
I can't wait to do that again.
