SkinnyM6886 Posts: 143 Joined: 2004/10/25	2005/05/06, 04:55 PM 5-6-2005 Deadlifts/Legs/Abs Deadlifts 115x5(warm up) 165x3(warm up) * my back just below my right shoulder blade was killing me even in my warm up. so i decided to reverse my grips and deadlift sumo style(nvr tried it before). The pain went away and i found out that sumo is much easier for me so im going to do it like that from now on. * 225x2 245x2 265x2 285x1 (previous max bar included) 290x1 295x1 300x1 305x1 (new max bar included) * damn i impressed myself, but with 2 minutes rest btwn sets it took me close to half and hour to complete this exersize * Leg Extensions (weight not accurate on machine) 80x25 100x20 120x10 Leg Curls(lying face down) 60x20 80x15 100x7 Standing Calf raises Body weight x20 single leg x15 (each leg) Standing on tippy toes for 90 sec straight Crunches/Reverse Crunches Superset * Fingers bairly touching head with my elbows pointed out. And i took 15-20 seconds rest btwn sets. * 20Cx10RC 20Cx10RC 30Cx15RC Leg Raises Knee-to-Chest 20 reps Straight Leg Raises 5 reps * I may want to mention that i use the same barbell for curls, squats, deadlifts, bench, etc. And that since ive decided to do deadlift 2 days a week i am taking squats off my leg days for the next 8 weeks. This is because i don't have a rack so i have to clean-and-press the bar to get it behind my head before i ever get to squat it, that takes energy and limits the amount of weight i can use. P.S. Thanks for the complements mmaibohm. *

SkinnyM6886 Posts: 143 Joined: 2004/10/25	2005/05/15, 07:39 PM 5-15-2005 I didn't get half way through my bicep workout and my head started pounding. Ive been getting these headaches during my workout for the past few days, so ive decided to take a week off and hope they go away. I'm still following my CKD eating plan but im not going to left waits again until about next monday and prey they are gone by then. Ill bump my cardio up to 7 days a week to make up the calorie burning difference.
