April 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Warmup
5 Minutes on Elliptical
Prisoner squats (10)
Y-Squats (10)
Hip Pop (10)
Single Leg Hip Pop (10 Each Leg)
Ys, Ts, and Is (10 each)
Birddogs (10 each side)

Squats
1×5x65
1×5x80
1×5x95
1×5x110
1×3X130 – Failed
1×8x95
Missed the 3×130.  My front hip was giving me fits so I thought it would be wise to back off on these.

Bench
2×5x45
1×5x50
1×5x60
1×3x75
1×8x55

These felt really good tonight. The stretch in my left hip felt really nice.

Row
1×5x45
1×5x50
1×5x60
1×5x70
1×4x80 < couldn’t count on this set was supposed to be 3×80)
1×8x60

Decline Bench
1×8x55
1×8x55
1×8x55

Will stay at this weight. Although I got all 8 reps out, it wasn’t easy.

BB Curls
1×8x45
2×5x45
I could really tell that the diet has kicked in with these

Tricep Extensions BB
1×8x17.5s
1×5x17.5s
1×5x17.5s

Will stay here for a little bit.

Cool Down
Supermans (10)
Lying Scorpions (15 each side)

Not a bad workout over all. I was a little surprised by the hip because it felt pretty good until I went to try and pick up the 130 for the squat. It just didn’t feel good so I ditched the heavy set. Will try for it next week.

Other than that, this was a good workout.
