maybenot's training log

[maybenot]

ty for the support.
I'm taking care of the injury, as soon as I'm healed I'm back with full strength. Just like the lions in the song, I never give up =)

[maybenot]

Still recovering from my knee injury, but still haven`t skipped one single day of training. It doesn`t matter if I`m tired, if I don`t feel like it, I just go and try my best. Injuries suck hard

Does anyone know if I can do any tipe of leg training with a really bad knee?

I`ll try to write down my training sessions so I can receive some input =)

Here' s a pic to show some of my progress ( not confident enough to post whole body pics )

Quick Update:

First time I`ve ever deadlifted!
4 sets of 12 reps @ 40kg - 88lbs

It felt really light, but I can`t go too hard because of knee problems. I will try to improve as much as I can this weight!

[BeansNBroccoli]

Hey man, your progress is really fantastic! Congrats!
Also, awesome with the deadlifts. Deadlifts are the greatest! Nothing makes me feel tougher than just pullin a bunch of weight off the ground

Ty, so far it is my favorite lift, nothing can beat the joy of deadlifting =)
I follow your journal also, you have some good deadlifts there =)

[VeggieWarrior13]

Great way to showcase your progress! Good work, for sure!

[maybenot]

Another quick update,
leg day, aiming for:
deadlift 4 sets x 8 reps x 120lbs~55kg
legpress 45º 4 sets x 8 x 132lbs~60kg
one leg squats 4 sets x 8 x 66lbs~30kg
seated calf raises 4 sets x 8 SLOW reps x 88lbs~40kg

And another quick pic, I'm losing weight, started my cutt with 76kg, already @ 71.5kg. Feeling quite small =(

[maybenot]

Well, gotta share something with whoever reads this.
Today I was feeling really crappy, I'm feeling small and weak because I`m cutting, this is the first time I ever do this. ( have in mind that I started training early january this year ).

So the time I got to the gym the first thought I had in mind was `fuck, I wrote I was going to hit 55kg on my deadlifts, what if I don't?`
This thought got stuck in my head so hard that I thought it could ruin my training.
What did I do? I got the 10kg bar, loaded with 50kg worth of plates, total of 60kg (132lbs) and nailed every rep with that 5kg extra weight, and even did 9 reps in the last set =)
All of this so I would not dissapoint anyone that is reading this! I wanted to show myself that all the bananas I ate throught the week are worth something!

So, here`s todays training session:

6 sets of abdominal exercises to warm up
overhead press 4 sets x 8 reps x 30lbs~14kg dumbbells
cable upright row 4 sets x 8 reps x 99lbs~45kg
lateral raises 4 sets x 8 reps x 15lbs~7kg -> light weights because my forearm really hurts doing this, maybe because I'm a computer programmer

deadlift 4 sets x 8 reps x 132lbs~60kg -> felt heavy, the last set I did 9 reps!
legpress 45º 4 sets x 8 x 132lbs~60kg
one leg squats 4 sets x 8 x 66lbs~30kg -> last set I failed in the 6th rep, but it felt good
seated calf raises 4 sets x 8 SLOW reps x 88lbs~40kg

Pretty much nailed this training session!
I guess I`ll be sore by morning!

[mrbear666]

good job buddy! cutting does suck, ive always got half way through and decided its enough and started eating tons again good luck with it
