Yesterday's workout...
Rack platform curls? You just won. At everything
Absolutely.
So yesterday's leg workout...
BACKSQUAT (3) 100-120-130-130-130
Nice and slow eccentric phase makes heavy stuff a lot easier. Could probably have done 5s, but so this isn't about strength... or so I tell myself.
DBSS (10 BAR-BAR-BAR
I found a way to do these without a bench. And proceeded to violate myself. Today is not good.
SLDL (10) 100-100-100
After the DBSS, these were never going to be easy
Well, that was interesting. Weight was done to 94.8kg, running on relatively empty in the middle of last week, and my quads are getting some definition rightup to the tops which is both interesting and depressing (I thought they were a lot bigger... turns out they were just fat...
).
Abs are still slowly coming through, but the whole idea was to do this very slowly so I didn't lose too much of anything. I'm leaner than I have been for a long time (waist is back down to somewhere around 32-33" and somewhere around 12-13% BF).
Will carry on trimming until the six pack comes through and can show up on a photo. After that point, I'll reverse the trend and start adding food back in. I'm not suffering at the moment, but also not really doing much else... This 'round' of objectives has shown me tha:
a) Variety is good - sometimes taking a break from primary objectives (weightlifting) isn't a bad thing and can be helpful;
b) Focussed bodybuilding/powerlifting really isn't for me. Admittedly, I'm not where near 'big' or 'strong' so I've not had teh "true" experience of either, but we shall see.
I might carry on this routine through the winter and see how we get on; my weightlifting last week showed I'm not lagging too far behind with it, so getting lean/big - either way - won't be too damaging.
Will take a pic at the start of the new log in a few weeks' time to see how things are going.
