REBOOT - Dave's Training Journal


Recommended Posts

Well, today was a bit of a fail, but at least I learned what not to do!

 

1 slice of whole wheat bread

1 cup of Pom juice

1/3rd of a cup of nuts

1 & 1/2 cups of Pom lime

1 bowl of mixed baked veggies & potato

Half a small deep dish with veggies

A glass of beer

1 cup of apple juice

5 strawberries

1 banana

2 servings of Sunwarrior

1 organic peanut butter and superfood jelly sandwich on whole wheat

 

And I didn't exercise beyond going for a walk because my arms and back were still too sore to do a press, work shoulders or even extend my arms for a tricep exercise! However, the pain and stiffness is finally going away so hopefully I'll be ready to work out again by tomorrow. I've literally never felt this sore for this long before. The doctor warned this might be the case, as I have no reserve muscle to rely on when I break one down through training.

 

I will eat like mad tomorrow.

Here's yesterday's log:

 

2 cups apple juice

A bowl of strawberries

2 bananas

2 scoops of Vega Whole Food

2 tablespoon of Vega EFA oil

A probar

1 scoop of activated barley

1 & 1/2 servings of Sunwarrior

A serving of nuts

A cliff twisted fruit

A bowl of oatmeal

A cup of raspberries

Some pineapple

1/2 a cup of pom juice

 

Not nearly enough obviously. I haven't yet worked out how to eat during a really busy day. Yesterday I had college, the gym, a music lesson, and then a first date all back to back. I ate a Probar after class and was able to make a protein shake after the gym, but had no time to make a full meal. It definitely showed me that I need to have more prepared meals ready to take in the car and such.

 

 

Here's what I did in the gym (my new plan being to focus a lot more on compound movements):

 

 

10 minute stationary bike warm-up

 

 

Dumbbell flat bench press

 

15lbs (per hand) x 17 reps

22.5x12

30x12

30x12

35x10

35x6

 

 

Overhead barbell press

 

30 x 10

30 x 8

30 x 7

30 x 6

 

 

Incline Dumbbell Bench Press

 

25 lbs (per hand) x 5 reps

20 x 6

20 x 6

20 x5

 

 

Tricep pushdowns

 

25x12

25x14

30x6 (fried at this point)
