I have really gotten into a lot of stuff this past week in relation to my diet and my routine.
For one, I have started a 100 to 300 situps challenge that I do every morning for 5 days. The first week has come and gone, and I have succeeded in doing 100 situps, each day, for the past 5 days. It wasn’t easy but I committed to it. The week coming, I am raising that to 150 situps. I know it’s going to be hard, but I am willing to do anything to strengthen my core muscle. Make myself into the ultimate fitness being that I can possibly be.
I have also started working out my legs with the same intensity as the rest of my body. My routine looked something like this:
Leg Extensions: 4 x 10 [first was a warm up with 70 lbs, last 3 were with 160lbs]
Leg Press: 3 x 10 [first 2 warm up sets with moderate weight (160 lbs), last set, heavy weights (280lbs)]
Squat: 5 x 10 [first was 20 reps, rest working sets. max weight 250lbs]
Dumbbell Deadlifts: 3 x 10 [120lbs]
Calves: 1 x 30, 1 x 30, 1 x 20, 1 x 15, 1 x 10, 1 x 100 [60lbs, 80 lbs, 100 lbs, 120 lbs, reps of 100, body weight]
For my arms, I actually trained them for 3 days. Making sure to have 48 hours rest in between. First day was heavy weights, second day was doing Vince Gironda bicep workouts and finally, light weights with high reps. For my legs, I will be doing them twice a week. They will incorporate high reps with low weights, lowest being 145 lbs and low reps and high weights, max being whatever amount I am able to lift. This routine will incorporate these types of training on the same day, or split into two days. However it may be, I will jot it down in here.
As for eating. I have definitely gained more hunger in the past couple of days. I have been eating whenever I am hungry, making sure my food are high nutritionally dense food. One of my training days I actually had 5 eggs, which I don’t normally do. But protein is in high demand
