Mayuri keeps going !
The week of January 26 was awesome as I started free weight squats and my back feels good so far.
As usual all muscle groups were worked: chest, back, shoulders, legs, biceps & triceps.
My chest seems stronger but at times I just seem to feel that it’ s a slow process.
I was strong at doing pushups 3 x 10reps. I did the usual free weight presses with flys.
The flat and incline bench is still the most challenging for me.
I started the free weight squats with the bar alone and then 20 pounds were added = 70pounds.
I really felt good doing these as my range of motion was in rhythm to my reps.My hamstrings are getting stronger along with my calves.My back seems stronger when I pull up.
One arm rows were great as I did 35 pounds and the last round(4th time) I did 50 pounds at 5 reps each hand Triceps dips are awesome as I can really feel them work.
I worked my shoulders using the 45 pound bar. That motion sure burns but very effective.
I also did the old school laterals and front raises called the “gauntlet”.Leg press is always a challenge and I’m trying my best to get to like it.
The week of February 2 was not as brilliant as I got the flu.I did not work out for 2 days.
I worked all my muscle groups but with low intensity as I was feeling weak.
I’m still recovering and hopefully will be back in real action as soon as I get my strength back.
