Felt the same as before lol. I won't submit to your questioning on whether or not you were right. ;)

2/15/13

I went in today and just did some tri's and abs. Nothing crazy, just some tri's and abs and then I went in the pool and ran, as my calf was really sore still from doing the calf raises a few days ago (today I can't even feel it at all in my calf so I'm all good.)

Went better than last week, so can't complain.

la fitness moment of the day:

there are a group of bros who lift together. today they were squatting. this guy was going to max out on squat so he started joking around and put on his sunglasses (to go with his spikey hair and matching outfit), then while he was squatting, his friend jokingly put a red caution strobe light around the squat rack as in "caution, heavy weights being moved here"

final squat weight: 265x1

120x3

140x3

160x3 belt

absolutely horrible today. everything felt wrong. my set up felt weird, my back felt weird, my legs lacked power. i got through every set but i just felt uncoordinated and unathletic.

one legged leg curl

25x15x3

horrible once again. felt weaker than last week

standing calf raise machine

60x10x3

felt fine

abs

prowler push

45 lbs

90 lbs

one run with each, each one was 43ish yards. wanted to do another one but the last set just killed my quads. i could barely get it to the end on thatl ast set.

notes:

just a bad day today. i had a weird morning. it wasnt a bad morning, just an unusual morning for me for when i work out. i woke up, ate, and then an hour later learned i was going to the gym in 40 minutes, so i ate again and went. if i didnt eat again i wouldnt of had the energy. so im goign to chalk this bad day up to just an awkward few hours before the gym. but i did everything i wanted to.

military press

50 x5

65 x5

75 x3

95 x5

110 x3 belt

120 x2 belt

the last set felt really good. the weight came off the bottom with speed and ease, and then it was just a nice push through the rest of the lift. happy because the 110x3 felt horrible. maybe i need more rest. i rested a good 4 minutes before that last set

upright row

45x12x3

barbell shrugs

135x10

165x10

abs

notes:

for some reason, my back has felt really tight the last few days. not sore, not hurt, just tight. in actually loosened up once i did planks at teh end of the workout

extremely happy about this. i couldnt get to 10 reps because my hands were sweaty and slipping. if i had chalk and/or my hands weren't all wet, i would have gotten it. im very happy my grip was easily holding the weight with no issues (except the sweat)

face pull

i can tell the prowler is really working. two weeks ago this would of had me dead, but today i was doing it and was alright. i just didnt wanna push it since my back was a bit sore
