Leg day

Today my sister and I hit the gym together.

I continued with my normal workout, leg day:

5 minutes of cycling followed by:
-2 x 15 bodyweight squats
-3 x 12 sumo squats with 15lbs
-3 x 12 straight leg deadlifts with 20 lb dumbbells
-3 x 12 hamstring curls
-3 x 12 calf raises using 20 lb barbel
5 minutes stretching

I also helped my sis through her workout.

I am only on day two of my strict diet with no desserts/cheating until the weekend but it's going well. For breakfast lately instead of eggs I have been having about 1/3 cup oats (dry) mixed with 1 tsp ground flax and 1/2 scoop protein poweder. I have been using progressive vegan protein powder which is green and full of other nutrients too. It isn't pretty but it doesn't taste too bad. It's vanilla flavoured.

Pre and during workouts I am continuing with my BCAAs then post-workout a protein shake with some fruit in it and 1 tsp creatine monohydrate.

Going to give this plan a few more weeks until I expect to see any differences.

"Friday" workout

Today I did what was supposed to be Friday's workout but was missed last week. I will skip chest stuff tomorrow and do the regular leg stuff instead.

I'm not finding it very exciting posting just what my workout was for the day... I need to start thinking of other things to write about.

Lately I have been thinking of trying the "cheat day" thing with my diet. Being very strict 6/7 days and then having basically a day where I eat what I want. It sounds like it works for other people pretty well. The idea behind it is that your body is receiving fewer calories through the week but then the big cheat day loads your body up with fuel so your body doesn't get used to having fewer calories an adapt. This way, you are supposed to be able to remain fairly lean but have that cheat day "reward" as well. I think I'm going to give it a try.

Chest day

I haven't posted in almost a week! Long weekends screw me up. But I have been working out although I missed a couple of days on the weekend.

Anyway this morning I had a chest day at the gym and I'm off again for the weekend. On the agenda is lots of camping and visiting Jer's family.

Looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll take get some great adventure pics.
