Wednesday: 12/24/08 - Week 6
Yeah, my diet is good. It's not a set diet nor do I keep a log of everything I eat, but I know I eat a lot and definitely enough protein.
Warmup sets are bad for me for lifting weights, they're more detrimental to my performance than good I discovered. I'll show you an example
45 x 12
95 x 6
135 x 5
155 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 1
Then my workout for squats
Squat
260x5
That's all I could pull off, the last rep was really hard for me I could barely come back up.
Bench Press
175x5
185x5
195x5
My legs were shot from squats so I didn't even try deadlifts.
Perhaps I did my warmup sets wrong, I don't know, but (I know this is gonna sound really fony) my body has a way of adapting to certain aerobic/anerobic situations very quickly, for example: I bike ride for 10-15 minutes and my legs get very tired since my body is more for explosive movement, but after that time my legs are fine for the rest of the bike ride. Doing lighter weights for warmups just makes my body adapt to more lighter weight and more reps. When I don't do warmups besides a few body squats to stretch, I'm fine.
