so im almost half way into my diet, and im feeling a bit flat, so to combat the dullness of the routine ive enlisted the help of my trainer Tabetha... ive worked out with her off and on for over a year and a half now, she always does a good job of mixing up my routine and making me do things out of my norm that i dont particularly like to do (which is a good thing) like tri-sets and such... so today we did legs, with a bit of abs and lower back... abs and lower back are a bigger part of leg day than youd think, they aid in squats, dead lifts and so on a good deal... so we do them together to tie them all in...
today we started with a short jog on the treadmill to warm up, then went straight into a tri-set of squats, leg presses, and box jumps. we did 4 tri-sets of those. then did 4 super sets of lunges, and dead lifts, and then finished legs with another 3 super sets of hack squats and leg extensions... then i did 4 sets of 20 with 110 pounds on the big crunch machine (which i call the crunch master, cause when weighted enough it really puts a nice bit of stress on the entire core i think), and 4 sets of weighted low back extensions... so it turned out to be a really great, and a little over 90 minute workout... that i look forward to doing again next week...
today really put things in perspective for me, and refocused my focus... it was a workout that i needed, and im really glad i did it (although ill be limping till monday, thanks Tabetha :)
this is what bodybuilding is all about, you diet your ass off 24/7 regardless of whether or not your bulking or cutting weight, you workout till you wanna puke, then push further, and when things get rough and you feel like youve hit a wall, you go back to the drawing board change things up a little bit and bust through that wall with full force...
