8/3 and 8/4

1. 8/4/09 - Tue - CARDIO

Time: 0:30.

  Showed up at 9:00pm at the Z so this was really stupid. I've decided to try to be a little more serious about cardio, but I've been failing miserably at getting to the Z with enough time to do anything useful.

Cardio on bike 140-165 bpm x 10 mins

Biking around MIT campus 20 mins

Stretch - hamstrings/lower back, adductors

2. 8/3/09 - Mon - SHEIKO #22

Time: 2:00.

  Today didn't go as well as I hoped. I think moving all weekend drained me, but I'm not really sure. I forgot to do my lunge cooldown thing, and combined with poor form and lack of stretching in the past week, that made my adductors sore for the next two days.

Squat 45x5x2, 135x5x3, lungesx12x3, 225x3 (50), 275x3x2 (60), 315x3x2 

(70), 365x2x4 (80)

Belt 315 and up + sleeves. Didn't feel that great. Just felt tired for some reason. On my heavy sets, I'm told the first rep looked good and on the second my ass shot up. But some sets were OK.

Bench 45x10, 155x3 (50), 185x3 (60), 215x3x2 (70), 245x3x5 (80)

First heavy set of bench was unstable and bad. Then I sucked it up and made the rest of the sets better. I started off on this terrible bench that I can't hold any kind of arch on, so I had a big pause in the middle when I decided to wait for Dee to finish to use the good bench.

Dumbell flies 50x10x5

Squat 245x3 (55), 295x3x2 (65), 335x3x4 (75)

Did first two sets at 75 without a belt. These weren't very good. I belted the last two and I think they were my best squats of the day, for reasons I don't entirely understand.
