DM: He just gave me some other versions to do. They do theirs on a bench with really heavy weights much like it shows in the book. He told me its easier for him to balance with the heavy weight, but my legs aren't strong enough to do that much! Nor are my hands strong enough to grip the kind of weight be was talking. They do crazy things like 8 400m's on their running days so its pretty intense. He is doing off season training for Hockey so I am hoping to learn some more things from his program.
Well the weekend with the in-laws went as well as to be expected. I did my best with food mostly by controlling portions but found myself snacking more than I wanted too. I am soooo glad to be home and back to my routine! Hopefully the weekend didn't do too much damage. At least I didn't miss a workout!
On a good note I did get to workout with my mother-in-law on Friday at her gym. Its a women's center but it was really nice. Lots of cardio equipment and free weights. No squat rack (smith machine) but I didn't need it for this workout anyway. Good to know for next time though. I was so excited to be in an actual gym so I did more than I needed to!
Friday May 23rd - Stage 3 B3
Stage 3 - B2
Barbell RDL / Row - 3x6, 65
Partial 1-leg squat- 2x6, 5 lb db's. I did these on a box. I only did two sets because this lady was kinda rude and needed the box, so since I was a guest and she was friends with my MIL I let her have it.
Static Lunge with foot on step: 2x10, 30lbs. I did these to make up for the set of partial leg squat. I was sooo sore from these!
Lat Pulldown: 3x6, 60#s I think? Wasn't sure what the numbers meant. But I was so excited to do these instead of pullovers!
Back Extension - 3x10, BW - actually did back extensions on a piece of equipment. Way too easy. I should have grabbed a plate.
YTWL - 3x6, 8# db's
Abs - crunch on floor w/20#, did leg raises on that chair thingy 2x10
Prone Cobra - 2x, wasn't feeling these
I also did about 20 min cardio. I was sweating big time after my workout. Felt good to get it in I was happy my MIL took me to the gym since she wasn't planning on going.
Can't wait to get back to eating right and working out on schedule again tonight. I am crossing my fingers I don't get sick. About 5 of the people we were around this weekend had been recently on some kind of antibiotics or still were sick. My DH has a sore throat already - ahhhhhhhh!
