Alright, it has been awhile since I have updated this thing. The past few weeks I have been nursing a hamstring AND bicep injury. During that time I decided to trim up a bit as I was letting myself go in my journey for more mass.
I am feeling much better now and have once again changed my routine to what I am more accustomed to.
2007/08/21
warm up: 5 min fast walking on the treadmill followed by dynamic stretching for the joints involved in this workout
Clean and Press: (Olympic bar)
225lbs x 1 for 2 sets
Tried 245lbs and almost locked it out but I lost balance to the rear and had to bring it back down. I wish my gym had bumper plates so I wouldn't have to worry about dropping it.
Squats
295lbs + a pair of blue bands (shortened for increased tension) x 3 for 2 sets
Deadlifts
315lbs + a pair of green bands (doubled up) x 1 for 2 sets
Incline Bench Press
225lbs x 10 for 2 sets
Lying dumbbell extensions:
55lbs x 8 for 2 sets
Seated cable rows: (wide grip)
300lbs x 12
300lbs x 10
Cool down: 5 min fast walking on the treadmill followed by static stretching of the involved muscles
Felt pretty good today being my first day back from injury. Having a hamstring and bicep injury really limited me on what I could do without involving those muscles too much. I'm sooo glad I feel better now.
