Back and Hammies workout.

Another free workout with one more tomorrow, and then back to the program. I was tired from the very long weekend of getting back from the trip, working the next day and then doing the day to back and forth to Long Island. So today was a little slow since I was back at it in the early morn with clients.

The workout was relatively solid and the pump was great but I didnt keep track of the weights/reps.

Back at it!

Ok, I have been away for the week and will not be back in full effect until Monday. I did get my training in and the diet was on point during the vaca. I was able to relax for the most part and had some nice family time.

In a nut shell, I will be making a few changes during the week and will re evaluate next Saturday after a full week of normalcy!

Here is the quick outline of training for the last week.
Saturday: Travel day
Sunday: Settle in day!
Monday: Chest and Triceps, and cardio
Tuesday: Back and Hams, and cardio
Wednesday: Delts and Biceps and cardio
Thursday: Quads and calves
Friday: Travel home!

Today I did chest, triceps and morning cardio. Decent workout but had a full day and after a long drive yesterday was tired during the workout. Tomorrow will do morning cardio before the day trip to New York. I will then pick things up on Monday and finish off the 4 day split, then go back to the normal 6 and 3 day rotation.

Quads and Calves workout:

Well, today was suppose to be an off day but due to traveling all day tomorrow and then the following day settling in, I figured, WTF! I was little tired going in, and I think my body knows when off days are needed, but I banged it out. I did higher rep deep squats at a nice even tempo. I was cooked by the end. The other movements were all solid with increases.

Leg ext: 2 warms, 85/10 95/12
Squat: 135/10 155/10 175/10 195/10 215/10 235/10 255/10
Db split squat: 65/8,8,10
Sissy squat: 3 set to failure
Calf work: 1 warms, 3 dogg crapp sets, burnout

20 min cardio

I will be away Sat to Fri down in the Outer Banks, NC. My next workout at home will be next Saturday the 25th I hope if time allows it! I have a full boat of clients and then a posing class.

The following day, July 26th going to Valley Stream, New York for a party. So,I will not be posted my workouts until things settle down. I will be connected on vacation and checking in with emails and on my forums.

This should be a nice break since its a laid back vaca and my training and eating will not be effected. In fact, I should get more rest!!!!

Back and shoulder workout:

Felt strong today and it was a good workout. Bumps on all movements and the energy was high from start to finish. Pullups are easier when you weigh less too!

Chest and arms:

Nice workout today and the pump was on. Strength was good, but again the lead off movement felt heavy. Solid rep and weight gains from last rotation. The right forearm was acting up again, and it looks like I just have to deal with it over the next few months. Sure it hurts, but only during most curls. Rest will be the only cure and that will have to wait.

Changes for July

My look has changed over the past month but the scale has not too much. Regardless, time to kick it up a tiny bit to keep the fat loss moving forward. So, just a couple of changes. First, I will add two lower carb days to the 6 day rotation. And secondly, moving the cardio from 20 to 25 minutes. I will pay closer attention after two weeks and then add the necessary changes if needed.
