What I've Been Up To -- Five-Hour Workout!
Ahhh, it was great, five hours at the gym, probably a whole half hour's worth of rest in-between sets, here's what I did: machine ab crunches: 145-lbs. @ 50x1, 30x1, 25x1, 15x3, 11x3, 8x3 cardio: LifeFitness elliptical, level 15 out of 20 (20 is hardest) @ 40 minutes machine ab crunches: 145-lbs. @ 50x1, 30x1, 25x1, 15x3, 11x3, 8x3 bench: 225-lbs. @ 11x1; 245-lbs. @ 5x1, 4x1, 3x1; 265-lbs. @ 2x2; 275- lbs. @ 2x2 machine military press: 135-lbs @ 11x1, 8x2, 5x2 t-bar rows: 135-lbs. @ 11x1, 8x1; 125-lbs. @ 8x1; 115-lbs. @ 8x1; 90- lbs. @ 8x2, 5x2 machine ab crunches: 145-lbs. @ 50x1, 30x1, 25x1, 15x3, 11x3, 8x3 cardio: Precor treadmill, "glute-2 level" @ 40 minutes machine ab crunches: 145-lbs. @ 50x1, 30x1, 25x1, 15x3, 11x3, 8x3 Altogether, I probably had half an hour's worth of rest in-between sets, but I usually I would stretch out or walk to get water. I lost ten pounds!! Gained about five back after dinner, and just now I'm back at 235 lbs., which is progress, considering that I started the year at 245! I'm bouncing between 230 and 235 now (just started like last week)...for all my dieting and aerobics, I'm still only losing a pound a week, oddly enough, considering that I keep myself to 1,800-2,200 calories a day...is my body simply cannibalizing muscle and keeping hands-off the fat? Maybe, maybe...while I'm still lifting about as much as I ever did, I do seem to have a harder time doing so...but it doesn't appear to be something serious, as if much of my strength had been sapped away.... Anyway, that's what I do on Sundays. The other two days I work out is no more than three hours each (with, again, like half an hour's worth of rest in-between sets). I'm giving myself until this time next year to return to my "fighting weight" of ~185-lbs. I intend to be benching 315-lbs. again some time this summer. I'm talking two or more sets of five to three reps each, with correct form. I really believe this is possible despite the pound-a-week calorie deficit! Should be interesting to see what happens.... |
