4/23 leg night

seated press: 90x40 4 sets
calves in press: 270x50 5 sets
prone hammies: 30x15 4 sets
leg ext: 90x15, 70/90x10/5, 70/90x10/5, 70x15, 60x12
cardio 15 mins

I got into the gym late last night and had to hustle. My legs were jelly by the time I left though. The seated press just tears em up! My hammies are feeling a bit stronger so I'm happy about this.

Personally, I have a interview tonight after work. It's amazing how many construction companies are down here, and how many need good accountants. Lucky for me I guess. I am going to have to leave a job I like to chase the money. I didn't want to do that when I moved here, but this is now the path that has been laid out before me so I will follow it and see where it goes

Tonight is chest night. I don't expect big #'s bc my cycle has been interrupted, but I will push as much weight as I can....and you know this!

Re: Hy-Maints 2014 Log

nice simple and high rep. i like it a lot hy-maint and dont be surprised if your big lift numbers dont go up quite a bit with this approach.

something i was thinking about with your hammie issue. do you roll it? if not start rolling it with a foam roller or better yet a rumble roller. it pays off big time with both injuries tightness and speeding up the healing process

Its funny but I have found if I don't stretch, don't do any yoga, no rolling, and no running my hamstring feels fine. I can do legs, deadlift and squat with no pain.

Re: Hy-Maints 2014 Log

Hmmm...now where did I leave off...

4/25: Squats/Deads (it was that kinda day)
Squats: 145x5, 155x5, 165x5, 175x5, 165x5
Deads: 135 wu, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5, 225x5
cardio: 20 mins
It was a tough day for me yesterday mentally and I didn't feel strong at the gym so I lifted till I was tired and then did cardio. I stil got a full hour in so I was happy.


4/26 Tri/bi
Close grip: 95x10 2 sets, 105x8 2 sets
bar curls: 45x15, 65x10 4 sets no pain in arms today
skull crushers: 55x10, 65x8 2 sets, 55x10
hammers: 30/25x8/2, 30/25x7/3, 30/25x6/4 2 sets
v bar: 65x15, 65x12, 65x10 2 sets I popped my lat on these before and it felt funny today. I might lay off these for a bit. I'm gettin freaked out
conc curls: 25x8 3 sets I was exhausted by this time

Good workout today. I felt much better than last night. Next week I think I will work on lower weights and body weight stuff...pulls ups, chin ups, dips, walking lunges...stuff like that.

Tomorrow is the 1 week anniversary of my life-implosion. I plan on spending it at Tybee Island laying on the beach and watching them release the turtles. Making new memories Oh, and I will be driving there in my fawking Jeep. I'm not hating it so much anymore actually. I keep taking more and more of the top off- lol. Eventually I will go completely topless. I do hate that its automatic though *eyeroll* I wanted stick, but the princess had to have an automatic- and non aggressive tires *another major eyeroll* So, if I do hit the gym it will be for nothing more than a little cardio. And then the week starts all over again.

lol. Thanks. I'm working on them even harder to bring out the definition in the quads thanks to Guns' painfully high rep scheme.

Great back workout. I coulda kept going! I love doing back though. Genetically that is probably been the easiest thing for me to build and it shows. tonight I think I will do legs. My lats are sore already so I will wait to bench until tomorrow...besides I'm kinda looking forward to the punishment of the leg routine.
