Day 13

Today, I had my entire workout planned out and was ready to go. When I arrived at the gym, I noticed that there were no foot straps for the cable machine. At this point, over half my workout was not doable so I had to improvise. Because the machines I used were far away from each other, I had to do regular sets instead of supersets. Here's what I did:

Weights
  • V squats - 140 Ibs, 10-12-15 reps/set
  • Isometric kneeling leg curls - 45 Ibs each leg (alternating legs), 10-12-15 reps/set
  • Seated calf raise - 90 Ibs, 15-20-25 reps/set
  • Seated leg curls - 70 Ibs, 10-12-15 reps/set - weight was too light
Abs
  • Abdominal crunches, 30-40-50 reps/set (I made sure to keep my knees off the floor, touching elbows to knees every rep).
  • My exercise partner and I sat back-to-back and passed a 10 Ibs weight back and forth, first one direction, then the other. This exercise is really meant for a medicine ball..
Cardio
  • Always treadmill on leg days
Diet

Feeding 1 - fruit smoothie
Feeding 2 - 6" oven roasted chicken breast sandwich. 100 calorie pack of baked pringles
Feeding 3 - post-workout shake
Feeding 4 - peas, mashed potatoes, ground beef w/ grilled onion
Feeding 5 - 6 x small peanut butter crackers, 1 oreo cookie (my wife couldn't eat her three)
Feeding 6 - 5.5 fl oz. can of V8 (low sodium), 8 x whole wheat wheat thin crackers

Tomorrow is chest/triceps day, RAWR!

Until then..
