At physical therapy it was determined my hamstrings are super tight, and that my left leg is about 1.4 times stronger than my right.... that needs to be addressed. | ||

Go get it, I'm cutting so no squat pr's till next meet. Expect to watch top1 deadlift on this forum and a badass set of abs in 2-3 weeks though. | ||

Was feeling pretty awful when I woke up anyway, and once I got home, I figured out I'd had a fever of 101 the whole time, which I must have gotten from my sister who has the flu right now. Guess I'll be putting off any working out for the next few days, and instead just worry about sleep and nutrition. | ||

They say that the strength imbalance is probably a result of weird lower back mechanics, which are a result of weird thoracic mechancis, which are a result of weird cervical mechanics. | ||

It's all connected! I'm finding myself torn in the realm of fitness. I want to keep lifting weights regularly, but want to progress on bodyweight skills, but also want to run a half-marathon or double mudder, and also want to do insanity with friends. There's not enough of me to handle all of it. I'd have to be full time exercising lol. | ||

HornyHerring Age: 25 || Height: 172(5' 7") || Weight: 86.9 kg(191.2 lbs) Starting Date: 01.01.2013 || Goal Date: 31.12.2013(12.31) Weight goals: -- Drop to 80 kg(176 lbs) or so. -- From there keep the weight and go for a full on trasnformation. -- Not sure what my body fat % is right now, but i'd guess it's around 15-20%, so let's go for a 10% goal Training goals -- Never really trained to check my capability and PR, so dunno how much I can really handle. Always been doing a few sets of an exercise with increasing weight on each consecutive set, so my goals in that matter migth be a little low/high/retarded/whatever, I just don't feel like checking exactly how much I can lift, doing regular sets works best for me. Gonna add more later on when I figure out how do I wanna do it. -- 10 wide-grip pullups -- 100kg(220 lbs) flat bench press -- being able to run for an hour straight -- finish a half marathon(one time length wise, not as an event) -- finish a century bike ride(one time length wise, not as an event) -- perfect my form in every exercise Nutrition goals -- -- finish research on IF and IIFYM -- manage to get a reliable macro values -- start an IF protocol based diet My workout: Usually do 8-12 reps a set, depending on exercise, sometime it's 10 or even 16 increasing weight with each set, pretty much only going to failure on ABS. 5 minutes of cardio warmup before starting each workout. rest between isolation ex 30-45s, compund ex 60-90s, between each exercise 60-90s + Show Spoiler + CALVES 4 sets of standing calf raise 4 sets of knees-bent calf raise 4 sets of sitting calf raise ABS 4 supersets of hanging knee raise + crunches + reverse crunches + bicycle crunches Monday -> Chest/Triceps + ABS 4 sets of incline dumbbell press with drop set on final set, 4 sets of incline flyes with drop set on final set, 4 sets of flat dumbbell press, 3 supersets of chest dips + close grip pushup 3 supersets of skull crushers + close grip barbell press 3 sets of rope pushdown 1 quadruple drop set of overhead dumbbell extensions + ABS Tuesday -> Back/Biceps + Calves 4 sets of wide grip pullup(negatives to get round 10) 4 sets of bent t-bar row with drop on final set 4 sets of close grip sitting pulldown 3 sets of single arm dumbbell row 5 sets of lat rope pulldowns 4 sets of ez barbell curls(2 straight and 2 cheat sets) 4 sets of incline dumbbell curls 2 supersets of spider curl + dumbbell hammer curl (to failure) + CALVES Wednesday Rest Thursday Quads/Hamstrings + ABS 3 sets of straight legged deadlifts 3 sets of standing leg curls 5 sets of lying leg curls 4 sets of front squats 4 sets of leg press 3 supersets of leg extensions + jumping lungees + ABS Friday -> Shoulders/Traps + Calves 3 sets of dumbbell overhead press with drop set on final set 3 sets of lateral side raises with triple drop set on final set 5 sets of reverse flyes with drop set on final set 3 supersets of front straight arm barbell raises + upright rows 5 sets of standing barbell shrigs 4 sets of sitting dumbbell shrugs with drop set on final set + CALVES Saturday and Sunday Rest This has been working pretty well for me so far, but I wanna change it up a bit. First of all gonna add 20 minutes of cardio at the end of each session and gonna switch days a bit. Also gonan add some purecardio days - at least 40 minutes of cardio. My new split will be: + Show Spoiler + 1 chest/triceps/abs 2 back/biceps/calves 3 cardio 4 quads/hamstrings/abs 5 shoulders/traps/calves 6 rest 7 repeat Gonna start the first repeat day on sunday and will add the postworkout cardio tommorow, we'll see how it goes. | ||
