Summer Slim Down – Day Three
March 3rd, 2010Today was lower body day, which means deadlifts. I love deadlifts. I was built to do them, literally. My body structure – long limbs, long trunk – is ideally suited for this lift. I suck at squats, but I can deadlift like nobody’s business.

I added the leg presses to DeFranco’s routine, but I’m still not sure I’m getting quite enough leg work. I probably could have hit 50 reps per set at 400 pounds, maybe more. I need to get upwards of 500 pounds before I really start feeling it, but it takes forever to load the sled, so I stuck to the machine this morning.
The chin-ups weren’t actually on the schedule today, I just happened to be bored when I walked by the bar.
My diet was fine today, except AJ felt the need to link to this on Facebook this morning. These were on the front page. Dammit.

Did deadlifts also today. After, I do the 4 hip movements with a resistance cord.(i.e.hip adduction,hip abduction,hip flexion,hip extention) Then finish up the workout with the yoga pose warrior for as long as I can hold it. This pose focuses on my quads, at least I make it quad centered.40 minutes on the treadmill and that was my workout today.

Seems reasonable. I wish I had the patience to do more Yoga. I’m not nearly as flexible as I used to be.
