Today is leg day. Forgot my trainers and the piece of string plus curtain ring for checking my squat form though, so I'll have to go home before going to the gym to get them. Checking my forward lean in squats today. Will do a number of sets with the bar only, until I've got the feel of the right posture for the lift, then will do a super-pyramid, starting with a set of 8 at 30kg and knocking off one rep for each step upwards (34, 40, 45, 50, 3 at 55). I managed 1 rep at 60kg last week, so this week I'm going for 62.5kg. If I have the right form that should be manageable.
Alos lower back (4x8 back hypers carrying a 20kg weight), abs (5x10 roman chair situps with a pause of 2 seconds at the point of most tension, also aiming for one set of 10 hanging leg raises. I have more calluses on my hands now so I should be able to handle a full set of these).
Will also do one-legged squats, 4x10m each leg, and leg press, might give the nautilus machines a few sets too just to make sure the legs are properly fatigued.
Then the total body hammering - 1 hour long slow cardio on the elliptical trainer (I will need to get my walkman as well from home for this one!).
Disorganised due to late night last night so diet is: protein shake for breakfast (goes down nicely and requires very little preparation), falafel sandwich from local african eatery for lunch, and chicken and other stuff for dinner (hubbie cooks dinner), plus half a shake just before bedtime. Works out at 2000 cals. Not very low in carbs or high in protein, BUT at least won't make me gain any fat. Looking at creating a deficit of 1000 cals every day, no more, no less, trying to make the diet every day as low carb as I can reasonably manage it, this way, I won't boomerang into bingeing quite as much.
