LAST TWO WORKOUTS

1. 6/23/09 - Tue - CARDIO/FLEXIBILITY

Cardio - bike 130 bpm x 25 mins

Flexibility - gastroc on leg press, adductor magnus on leg press, hamstrings, seated groin, 

hip flexors, glutes

2. 6/22/09 - Mon - SHEIKO #4

Weight: 211. Time: 2:30. Not sure what happened with this weight -- I didn't eat much the night before and I was a little dehydrated, I guess. Didn't eat anything all day before this work out either, felt pretty weak because of that even though I was finally well rested.

Squat warm-up: 45x5, 135x5x4, BW lunges x15x4, 225x4 (50), 275x3 (60), 

315x3x2 (70), 365x3 (80), 385x2x2 (85)

Belted essentially everything. Used new APT knee sleeves. They felt great, gave very little support, etc. Exactly what I need.

  I tried to use the same form as last time to keep knees feeling good -- toes only slightly pointing out, weight on heels, pushing feet out. I think this might be a good form to keep in the long run, but it changes my form and makes the squats feel much harder. 385x2x2 was not easy. More on this later.

Bench 45x10, 155x3 (50), 185x3 (60), 215x3x2 (70), 245x3x4 (80)

Feeling kind of beat up lately, so these were slow but not close to failure.

Dumbell bench 50x10x5

Dips BWx8x5

Squat 225x4 (50), 275x3 (60), 315x3 (70), 365x2x4 (80)

Belted last three sets of 365. For last set, I used my 'lazy form' of dropping much more quickly with my weight more forward on my foot. It felt much easier. I'm not sure what I should do with this -- maybe sitting back will feel better if I give it enough time?

A: Good mornings 135x5x5

A: Lunges BWx15x4

For adductor...
