Hey everyone, Log update!
Yesterday was a cardio only day + abs. Great, took some ECA last night before the run, breezed through it. My legs was very tired tho, they are taking a beating and im not letting them fully heal, thank god I got off from weight training over the weekend. Ill still be doing cardio one of the days, EMPTY Stomach. UNLESS I go upstate to my boys house and have a funweekend(whole lot drinking going to be goin on)
Cardio
Treadmill: 3 min warmup / 18mins @ 7.0mph
StairMaster Stepmill: 11 mins w/ 50lb vest @ Level 6
Abs
Roll outs: 15 reps @ 4 sets
*Stabilization work: 10sec holds for 6 reps X 3
Swiss ball crunches: 25reps x 2sets
**The stabilization work is the best ab exercise IMHO. Uses no other muscles except the abs. No lower back pulling up etc. Read it out of one of the “secrets of bodybuilding” books I got. Wich shows “hidden” or not done so much excercises, such as the suspended pushups, etc. BUT this is how it basically works: Sit with knees up tucked to your stomach. Then grab knees with hands and lean back as far as possible while still holding onto your knees for support. Then let go, while still leaning back and try to raise your hands over your head while balancing with your ab muscles. The further back u can go the harder it gets. THIS IS WHERE U TEST ACTUAL AB STRENGTH =]
Also, does anyone think I should start a new log? Or just get a mod to add the 5x5 into the title? I know its starting to get long, but if the frequent visitors don’t mind, then ill leave it long.
