Today was leg day! The day I dread more than anything. I would rather do 10,000 sit-ups than to torture myself through legs. But I can't forget that the quad is the largest muscle in the body, and also helps the body release the most natural growth hormone when it's worked. And boy did we start heavy today. Pretty much used machines for all the leg exercises as well. I will discuss my diet after I list the exercises I did today. Needless to say, I skipped breakfast and lunch and substituted both with protein shakes. Not the best idea when I am attempting to gain muscle, but I was a little busy to actually sit down and eat anything, now dinner was a beast of another color.
Exercise Routine:
1. Leg Press Sled - 10x298, 10x388, 10x478, 8x568
2. Smith Machine Calf Raises - 15x200, 15x250, 14x300
3. Reverse Leg Curl(Machine) - 15x90, 15x110, 12x130
4. One Leg @ Time Leg Extensions(Machine) - 12x30, 12x50, 12x70
5. Machine Calf Raises - 15x210, 15x250, 12x290, 10x330
6. Superset- Body Weight Bar Dips with Low Cable Chest Crossovers
3 Sets - 20 Dips each/ 15 Pounds x 15 Crossovers
7. Over Head Easy Grip Bar Triceps Extensions - 12x57.5, 12x65, 12x72.5, 15x80
8. V-Bar Triceps Extension - 12x85, 10x100, 8x115, 15x100, 18x85
Diet:
Breakfast and lunch both consisted of protein shakes with 52 grams of protein powder, 5 grams of creatine, 2 raw eggs, and no fat strawberry yogurt, used cranberry juice in both shakes as well as 1 tablespoon of metamucil fiber powder.
Dinner- Went out to PF Changs at the Gardenwalk. Ate an entire order of Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Main course was Mongollion Beef. Only ate half the cup of white rice, finished all the beef! Ate a half order of sweet and sour chicken as well. Drank 2 very tall Bud Lights. I call it carb loading! HA!
My will is greater than my quit!
One day left to finish the first 4 weeks!!
