BICEPS/CARDIO/FLEXIBILITY

Weight: 209. Time: 1:15.

  Weight starting to go in the right direction.

• "Strict" curl 155x1

Following the example set for strict curls by Brent and Dave--that is, not strict at all. I stopped when I realized how stupid it was.

• Cardio - bike 40 mins

• Stretching - gastroc, soleus, hamstrings, seated groin, hip flexors, seated glute, adductors 

on machine

Adductors tight today and everything feels like ass. I think I'm a little overtrained because I haven't been sleeping well either. Good news is back just feels tired, not injured/sore.

Judge Nathan gives me 3 white lights on all curls. (Why not?)

Also, there was some girl doing cardio in a skirt that I saw *taping her laptop* to the elliptical so she could watch a movie hands-free.

Deadlift Recovery

Deadlift:
145 x 20, 2 sets
265 x 15, 8 (2 sets)
385 x 9
496 x 12

Not sure why I went for 12. I was going for 8, then 10, then it still felt easy so I just kept going. When I hit 12, figured I was being stupid (probably already stupid) so I stopped.

Stiff-legged Deadlifts:
145 x 20, 4 sets

All for stretching and getting blood back into my lower back. Things feel pretty good

Finished with a bunch of seated groin stretching and hamstring stretching.

Did a post-workout fun lift of a strict curl @ 130 x 3, for two sets. I did the first one and then made Brent take a video of the second one. (The bar weighs 20lbs, so Phil's 135 was only 130.) The curl challenge is ON. <3<3<3
