Lower 2, Week 17

Fall '07 - Upper 2, Week 17

Overall Impression:

i guess im recovering better. im eating a lot. my diet usually consists of

morning: protein shake because im running late for class

afternoon: brisket with chopped beef, honey wheat bread, tons of sweet corn, water or coke.

around 4 pm: same as lunch above

around 7 pm: same as lunch above or some chinese thing

around 9 pm: a protein shake

around 12 am: some sandwiches

ok, this is much better than what my diet was a year ago lol

Barbell Military Press = 4 sets x 7 reps x 115 lbs

one more set than last week. felt damn easy. maybe im getting stronger on militaries. next week im increasing the weight. i love this exercise!

Pull-ups = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15 reps

stronger than last week. i think the main reason why my numbers have dropped is because im using a different pull-up bar than what i was using at home. is this possible?

Paused Unilateral Flat Dumbbell Bench Press = 3 sets x 12 reps x 40 lbs

u might wonder what this exercise is so ill explain briefly. start off doing dumbbell presses. bring both the dumbbells up. then keep the right one at the top and bring the left one down. then bring the left one. in the sense do a single arm dumbbell press with the left hand. then hold the dumbbell up and repeat the process with the right hand. i kept doing this till i reach 12 reps on either side. this is a very nice exercise.

Cable Rows = 2 sets x 12 reps x 110 lbs

went conservative on this due to my injury

Facepulls = 1 sets x 12 reps x 50 lbs

nothing special to report.

Hanging Leg Raises = 2 sets x 12 reps

im trying to work on flexibility on these. i want to do these with my feet completely straightened. right now they bend a slight bit at the knees and more so as i try to go above waist level.

Leaving Thoughts:

cool workout. im happy. going out now for a great friday night

cheers and have a good weekend y'all
