Things are settling down with my schedule now and I’m starting to feel stronger and my weight is slowly coming back on. I’ve been training at the compound on Tuesday for lower body accessory and Molly and I are going to be able to train together most Thursdays at the commercial gym. Once I get a solid base schedule I should be able to get some things figured out and be more focused. As for today’s training here is what I did…
Warm-ups
Stationary bike (3 minutes), band pull aparts, Indian club swings
Standing hip rotations
2 sets of 20 each leg
Sled for 10 reps
1 plate per side for 15 reps
2 plates per side for 15 reps
3 plates per side for 15 reps
4 plates per side for 15 reps
5 plates per side for 15 reps
3 plates per side for 30 reps
Seated leg curl machine
45 for 5 sets of 20 reps
Standing hip rotations
2 sets of 20 each leg
Standing cable crunches
50 for 3 sets of 15 reps
Hanging leg raises
3 sets of 15 reps
I got a huge pump from the power squats. My right leg is visibly larger than my left but both appear to be firing and I have zero pain in my left leg. I’m going to keep attention on balancing things out and may incorporate more unilateral lower body training if the balance does not show improvement over the next few weeks.
