Weight: 157.0 (Target Weight - 150.0)

This was a non-weight training day and I focused on abs and cardio, with a few pull ups thrown in.

Pull Ups - 7 sets of 10 + 1 set of 5 = 75 reps

Machine Crunches - 3 sets of 25 = 75 reps

Slant Board Crunches - 3 sets of 25 = 75 reps

HITT Cardio on the tread mill - 5 X 20 second speed splits at 10 mph + 20 minutes of elevated moderate speed work.

I have a new training partner.  Craig had approached me some time ago to ask about Personal Training.  Yesterday, I invited him to train with me for no charge.  He gets a Certified Personal Trainer and Professional Bodybuilder to train him.  I get a training partner who will spot me and help me lift heavier.  It's a good trade.  We start tomorrow morning.

Body Weight: 158.2 (72 Kg)


Today was a non-weight training day and we focused on abs, push ups and cardio.

We did five sets of 10 reps of wide grip, medium grip and hammer grip pull ups.  Each pull up was full up, hold a second and full down.  Fun.

We did four sets of 25 reps of hanging leg lifts.  For two of the sets, we held a 5 pound weight between our feet.

We did five sets of 10 push ups.  Each push up was slow, full, with a complete up and down motion.

We did a HITT cardio session with 10 degree elevation and five 10 mph 20-second speed splits with 40-seconds of rest between each split.  Including the speed splits, the cardio session lasted 25 minutes.

This was a great heart rate workout.

With less than two weeks to go, I have gone below my desired contest weight. I will carb load when the time comes, to fill my muscle bellies and bring myself on stage at 150.0 pounds.

Weight: 149.4 pounds (67.91 kgs.) Target Weight: 150.0 pounds (68.18 kgs.)

After a re feed day of 228 grams of protein and 200 grams of carbs, I added back a pound of weight from Sunday, a low carbs diet day. This morning I looked hard, lean, vascular and full. It's coming together nicely.

Legs and Calves Training

Seated Leg Presses - 3 x 8 - 270 pounds plus the weight of the sled

Smith Machine Lunges - 3 x 16 - 160 pounds

Cable Hamstring Stretches - 3 x 8 - 100 pounds

Rumanian Dead Lifts - 3 x 8 - 150 pounds

Extensions - 3 x 8 - 150 pounds

Leg Curls - 3 x 8 - 125 pounds

Seated Calve Raises 3 x 25 - 150 pounds

Standing Calve Raises 3 x 25 - body weight

This was my last legs workout before my competition. I will do quads and ham flexes and stretches throughout next week, but no weight lifting.
