Start: 8:00

I had a strong night on Back & Shoulders last night. I’m trying hard to make good gains in each work out. I’ve also been keeping a real eye on my macros. I think I’m doing everything right, but it gets frustrating when I get stuck at the same weight and have only lost 1.5 inches off my waist. I guess I’ll just have to see how the change in macros works. (Just hit me if I complain again would ya?)

Legs

Start: 8:00



Got a late start to night, it was the boy’s first night of football. I stayed to watch the practice to see how they did. Good night in the gym! I’m getting the hang of the front squats but it does make the shoulders a little sore were the bar goes across. I really like the sumo db a lot.

Back & Shoulders

Start: 7:00


This is a good work out, really liked this on. I had to use the bar for dead lifts, I either have to invest in some more dumb bells or do the C program at the gym. I also wasn’t sure what side up is, and didn’t have time to e-mail you to ask. Other than that everything went great!

Pull ups (wide) 4/failure
Seated cable rows 2 warm ups 3x10/125,135,145 (didn’t read, I was only to do 2 sets)
Dead lifts/bar 1 warm up 2x12/195, 205

Felt good, can’t wait until Monday for legs!

Chest & Arms

Start: 5:30




Great work out! I really like this C-2 program. Worked extra hard tonight on chest & arms need to gain a little size in the arms I think. Used barbell in place of db, I don’t have enough weight in db to do flat press. I’m really enjoying the work outs there great!

Flat barbell press 3 warm ups 1x6/185, 2x5/185
In db press 1 warm up 1x10/55, 2x8/55

Legs

Start: 8:00



Really good leg workout tonight. Because I have never done Front Squats I went a little light. It’s hard to get used to keeping the bar across the front of your shoulders. Once I got going, I started to get the hang of it. The Sumo db were a great but I think its best to do them with one heavy db. (Well, I guess that means more weight!) I did seated calf raises this time. I was doing standing and I find the seated to a little harder. All in all I thought it was a pretty good work out!!

Leg extensions 1 warm up 2x10/160
Front squats 2 warm ups 1x10/115, 1x10/125, 1x10/135 (I must not have read, I should have only done 6 reps)
Stiff leg bar 2 warm ups 1x10/195, 1x10/205, 1x9/215 (I didn’t read)
Sumo db 1 warm up 2x12/80, 90
Calf Raises (seated) 2 warm ups 1x20/185, 1x15/185

Looking forward to Chest & Arms!!

Started:7:00

Another awesome evening in the gym! Had a pretty good workout. Moved up in weight on a couple of different exercises. Eating is going fairly well, except a couple times when I'm in a meeting I miss one of my meals. I guess I'll have to try to fit them in some who. Maybe instead of 6, I'll cut back to five and divided the protein & carbs accordingly so I get the proper amount each day. Other then that small glitch, I'm feeling pretty good.
