The week of January 12th
The week of January 12th went smoothly. I could feel my strength and endurance improve day by day.Though the weather was cold, it was awesome to train.
In a nutshell, I did chest, back, shoulders, legs, biceps and triceps.
My chest seems to get stronger but at a slow pace. My back and triceps are my best muscle group. Triceps pull downs were at 60 pounds.
Dead lifts were unbelievable – I did 100 pounds. My hamstrings were slightly sore. It was a good sore. Pull-ups were fun as I can do 4 reps on my own on narrow grip.
I’m getting stronger at dips on my own though George has to spot me for full range of motion.
My biceps have really become stronger. Barbell curls at 50 pounds and 20 pounds for dumbbell preacher curls.
I have to say, to start a workout, you ought to always have a good breakfast.
I usually have 3 or 4 egg whites with a multigrain toast and peanut butter.
On my way to work, I have a handful of almonds & walnuts. Every single day I have to drink my freshly grated ginger tea. Ginger is a great anti-inflammatory root. After my workout I have my protein shake.
