Since I am back to the gym, with Fuzo, FINALLY! I thought it would be fun to write my own daily log. Now this one is going to e different from the usual journals as I love to be "different". You may not gain anything from my daily thread BUT if you do, it will have helped you and me both!
Going strong with some cardio and very light training right now. Feeling the great mental effects already but also feel the "not so good" pains. I will keep going though.
So I met some of Fuzos gym acquantances;l
There is Carol who is a 65 year old lady whom likes to talk to Fuzo. She seemed very nice
Then there is the 18 year old booty short girl that prances around in barely anything and gets mad when the guys look. Silly girl, cover your ass
Oh and then there is Patrick , who we have known from other gyms for the past 20 years. An "odd bird" but a very intelligent and nice person. He pretty much sits on one machine for an hour and grunts.
I can tell Fuzo gets annoyed when he is training and people start yapping,lol. He always has that grrrr look on his face, so I only go buy him when I need money for my pw shake
I like to do my cardio and just watch everyone. Happened to be next to a guy who would clear his throat very loudly every 2 minutes. It was driving me fucking nuts but i told my self " maybe he has some kind of problem?" Got back in my zone and continued...
Off to my left is the empty large room where the classes are held. I enjoy going in there at the end of my workout and stretching, use the foam roller and just doing some breathing. Well on this day, I happened to notice an older couple, probably in their 60s, doing some ballroom type dancing! I have always wanted to so some type of dancing like that with fuzo. this was a great site to see, made me smile.
well thats about what i have right now! till the next day...
As far as my nutrition, it has always on target. Last night I decided to order chicken parm and had a couple pieces of pizza to. I feel like shit on a stick this morning. I cant believe how much food makes me feel like crap. I eat pretty much all organic and grassfed meats. I so cheat but it has to be worth it. Now my goal is to get my family away from the fast sugars they both love
Second day no gym!!! At the ballpark though so maybe I will warm up with the girls and run some bases? If dancing counts, I was doing that with some Moms yesterday. Till tomorrow, again the chronicles will continue...

If I eat pizza or junk I feel like crap the next morning like a hang over
Good day at the gym yesterday! I love being drenched in sweat. Of course I some interesting things yesterday, once again. Fuzo and I share some quick laughs while doing cardio, and then we go do our own thing.
guns,
My goal is to get the once good legs I had but here is the issue. Going heavy is really not and option at this time. Any good suggestions to help get me back those legs without going heavy? What is your thoughts on doing the stair master? It is my fave of cardio and I really feel I get the best results. Recovery for me is the difficult part. On another note, I have been diligent on foam rolling and then chugging the water, post exercise. The rolling def helps the knotting up and damn it hurts like hell,lol

the step mill is an awesome tool. you can do sprinting intervals on it or even go on the slower end and squeeze the crap out of your entire leg each step. that's a good way to get time under tension.
as for training tweaks where you cant use heavy weight. you can do isometric holds at different points during your lifts. this came be done at various points of the top end and bottom ends of the contraction. the key is to hold that point and squeeze as hard as you can without moving. you can do it on any movement as well as leaning back against the wall. if you are doing it on the wall, dont put your feet out in front of you keep them about 3-5in off the actual wall. this will activate the quads more. you can also add in drop sets as well as super sets. dont need a ton of weight on any of these to absolutely wreck your legs. i would get a few weeks in with regular sets and maybe a few iso holds before adding anything else in. you go to fast and hard and you are going to be riding around in a motorize chair or a wheel chair if not

Is it better to be flush against the wall, rather than having a stability ball behind me? If if go with wider stance,does that then hit then hit the glutes more?

i like you to bend the torso forward at about a 30 deg angle. kind of like the position of a skier coming down the slope. that shifts the weight fully onto the legs. wider stance feet further out and toes pulled back with the weight distributed onto the heels will target the glutes and hams a tad bit more. but the majority of stress is going to be placed onto the quads regardless. if you want more targeting of the hams and glues you need to jump onto the lying ham curl machine. adjust the weight to about 30-40lbs and curl it up 1/4 of the way out of the bottom. now squeeze your butt checks as hard as you can driving your hips into the pad. also squeeze the hams as hard as you can while holding the weigh in place at 1/4 of the way up. this will hit both the ham and gluts with an iso contraction just like the wall holds do.
you should start these for about 10-20 sec at a time and increase the duration by about 5 sec each workout. i can do the ones on the wall for a couple of mins sometimes haha but we usually add them in as a part of a super set or a tri set to keep from having to sit there for 60-90 or 120secs
