As the title suggests, it was my friend, Amy's birthday today. So a few of us had lunch together to celebrate and as everyone went to town on a bunch of deep fried goodness, I sat there eating my fish and rice and didn't even feel like I was missing out. I knew that I had a job to do and that touching any of the greasy food would set me back. And the though of eating that stuff didn't even cross my mind, which was good.
Meal 1 - Oats and Whey. Decided against blending it this morning for a bit of a change
But because we had lunch and I had to squeeze in a legs/delts workout before the gym closed, I didn't even get to see any of the Mr Olympia which was disappointing. Not that I'd rather watch Olympia than celebrate my friends birthday so please don’t think that, Amy. I did get to see some of the bikini and fitness girls as well as the Ms Olympia. Congrats to Iris Kyle on her 7th Ms Olympia, she blew the pack away.
So I'm sitting here, just finished meal 5, waiting for the Olympia Pre-Judging replay to become available on BB.com. I'm trying to watch the pre-judging pre-show but it isn't loading and I'm guessing thats because of the high level of traffic on the site. Come on America, go to bed so I can watch the replay! Haha
AM Cardio. It was 30 degrees at 9am today, got a great sweat on!
So yeah, legs and delts today, always a big day. And I made the mistake of thinking the gym closes at 5pm on Saturday when it closes at 4. So when I arrived at 3, I knew we had to get in, smash it and get out. Started with delts and as always, pre-exhausting before finishing them with DB shoulder press. Still going up in weight on shoulders which is great, I really struggled with the 12.5kg side raises, so I swung the weight up, concentrating on the negative motion to fatigue my delts. With shoulders dead, we went straight on to legs.
After going back through the book, I realised we were supposed to be doing 20 reps on leg extention, not 15. With this in the back of my head I psyced myself out, knowing that it was going to burn uncontrollably. I almost halved the weight to 4 plates and end up finding that weight pretty easy. After the 2nd second set, I decided to do another set to punish myself for wussing out and I still easily nailed 20 reps with 6 plates. Knowing this, it meant I had to kill leg curls and leg press, which I did. Hit PB's on both and destroying my legs on the press. On my third set of leg press, I chucked 280kg up and on the 8th rep, my legs gave way but I was saved by the little safety catch thing. If it wasn't for that, I would have been in a world of pain haha. They gym was shut by the time I started my last set of leg press so we were forced to skip calf raises.
620lb Leg Press. It sounds a lot bigger when you say it in pounds haha
Another rest day tomorrow. But I gotta cook some food up for the coming day. I'm going to cook for the week this time so I don't have to freeze so much and hopefully, this will make my food a bit more enjoyable (and A LOT quicker to cook). And to vent a little bit, I HATE cooking days. Until then...
