Today's Training Looked Like This:
Banded Good Mornings
4 sets x black (strong) band x 15 reps
DB RDL's
4 sets x 65's x 8 reps
Seated Leg Curls
4 sets x 225 x 15 reps
Mikesell Pull Throughs
4 sets x green (average) band x 15 reps
Ab Pulldowns
4 sets x 120 x 15 reps
Things are really coming together. I was actually concerned today when I weighed in. Wednesday is usually my heaviest weigh in, and my Thursday and Saturday weigh ins are generally very consistent and close to each other. Last week I weighed in at 317.5 on Wed, 314, 2 oz on Thurs, and 314 on Saturday AM. I weighed in today at 313, 4 oz. (All weights are taken fully clothed, in sneakers, and the Wednesday and Thursday weigh ins are done in the afternoons.) I am 5 pounds over weight with 9 weeks to go for IPA Nationals. Don't want to get too small now. But I have been feeling great. As my coach said to me: 'lots of guys are ripped and weak as a pussy, we want to be strong here.' Do not want to get anything but stronger while getting healthier in the process.
Kept it with the posterior chain assistance movements today. My hamstrings have really come a long way from October when I joined Eastside and was prompted to develop my lagging glutes and hamstrings. Today I can properly do GHR's, and have stayed consistent with the posterior chain work, and I have seen the benefits. My deadlift is on its way back up, and I haven't been referred to as quad-dominant in awhile!
Went home and cooked up some stew beef, some of that spinach I love with garlic and onions, and some potatoes. Back at it tomorrow with bench assistance
