OK so I was inspired and think I'm gonna keep a log of my progress.
I'll skip on the diet log for now, I'm not counting calories right now as I am trying to build muscle.
usually have oatmeal and eggs in a.m.
lean meat and brown rice with veggies or salad for lunch and lean meat with salad for dinner with almond butter for a snack after dinner, and a protein shake after my w/o
drinking green tea and water all day long.
no supplements aside from the protein
5'9" 150 lbs 36 yrs old
I'll measure myself again tonight or tomorrow.
My short term goals are to gain muscle and strength gains.
I was dicking around trying to figure out a good schedule, and going back and forth for a while, but I have settled on this:
It fits into my schedule pretty well
Mon: Chest and Back/light cardio 30 min
Tues: cardio 45 min
Wed: Legs/glutes
Thurs: cardio 45 min
Fri: Shoulders/Arms/light cardio 30 min
Soooo,
Today was legs:
Squats: parallel
warmup 65lbs x 10
3 sets 75 x 10
really getting good form now I think
Deadlifts: just started doing them, so it's light still, but I'll get up there I promise!!!
70 lbs 3 x 10
leg extensions:
warmup 90 lbs
3 sets 100 lbs
leg curls:
warm up 40 lbs
3 sets 50 lbs
weak hams still I know
calf raises:
3 sets 50 lbs
I have massive calves from riding, so I'm not putting a lot of weight on, just getting blood in
50 walking lunges with 10 lb dbs
So yeah,
thats about it for today!!
