Day 28
Today's Notes:
First honest day of two-a-days from now until tryouts. I am shifting my lifts to the morning, and in order to make sure I get them all in, I'm up at 5:30AM every day from now on.
Time to get serious.
I discovered yesterday that the hallway at the top of the stairs at the gym is only 20 yards of full running - I have to pull up for the final 5 or i'll slam into the wall. So I'm shifting the distance to 20 yards.
The weather today... Unbelievable. 58 degrees when i woke up, 65 when I left the gym... Very very motivating. It's always pleasant to run and work out in cool fallish weather.
The Workouts:
(You can read descriptions for all of these exercises here)
Morning Session (lifting + cardio)
Monday: Chest + Tricep day - light + more reps
Bench Press - 4 sets: 1 set x 20 reps @ 135lbs, 3 sets x 12 reps @ 245lbs
Incline Bench Press - 3 sets x 15 reps @215 lbs
SUPERSET with: Reverse Overhead Tricep Curl (cable) - 3 sets x 12 reps @ 87.5 lbs
Decline Bench Press - 3 sets x 15 reps @ 215 lbs
SUPERSET with: Tricep Extension (cable) - 3 sets x 12 reps @ 95 lbs
Dumbbell Flys - 3 sets x 15 reps @ 50 lbs (per hand)
SUPERSET with: Skullcrushers - 3 sets x 15 reps @ 75 lbs (bar)
Run: 3 miles (elliptical machine, 35 mins - the machine said 5 miles, but i don't trust that)
8 x super stair run + 20 yard sprint
HOW I FEEL:
Kinda weird, right now. I just stood on the digital scale in my bathroom (I rarely, if ever, use that one) - it said I weigh 313 lbs. The gym scale 3 weeks ago said I was about 290.
My pants are fitting looser now than they have in a while.
There is NO way I gained 23 lbs in 3 weeks. And there's definitely no way I gained 23 lbs of muscle in that time. So yeah... I think that scale is busted.
Other than that, it's great to get up and going early again. I did that for a bit... It didn't stick. But with my wife's new work schedule combined with the fact that, if I don't stick with this regimen until tryouts I have NO chance, I think I'll probably do okay with it now.

Evening Session (drills):

HOW I FEEL:
Dunno yet.
