Sunflower fruit

I spent a large majority of my night on the soccer field... again. This is the last week for TVSC tryouts, so my schedule should clear up a bit, at least for a little while. After leaving soccer, I had to go by Sunflower Market and take advantage of some great fruit & veggies sales (my wife gave me a list). Wednesday is double ad day!!!

With soccer done. Fruits & veggies purchased. It was finally time to make my way to the gym. Just got a text message from Dan that he will not be able to ride in the morning (Chris bailed earlier...work), so it was even more important that I get to Gold's to get my workout in.

Flat-bench Dumbbell Press 3x10 60lbs, 2x8 70lbs
Incline Dumbbell Press 4x8 50lbs
Wide-Grip-High-Chest Benchpress 4x8 135lbs
Close-Grip Benchpress 2x8 135lbs
Wide-Grip-Low-Chest Benchpress 3x10 135lbs
Cable Crossover 4x8 50lbs

Ended the night with a good pump in my Chest and Triceps.

Good Lift

I'm a little late getting to the gym tonight. Attended an educational awards ceremony for my girls, which didn't end until after 8:30p. So, by the time I got home and back to Gold's, it was about 9:30p. Result, I need to power through this strength session so I can get home and get to bed at a somewhat reasonable hour.

Tonight I hit Back and Traps.

Pull-Ups 5, 3, 3, 2, 2
Lat Pulldowns (behind head) 2x10 @120lbs, 3x8 @140lbs
Lat Pulldowns (to chest) 3x10 @140lbs
Straight-Arm Pressdowns 4x10 @60lbs
Cable Row 2x10 @130lbs, 2x10 @140lbs
Bent-Over Dumbbell Row 4x12 @30lbs
Upright Row 2x12 @40lbs, 1x10 @50lbs, 1x10 @60lbs

By 10:20p I was out the door and on my way home. A couple of scoops of Nitrean for my protein drink. A CotS Tuna Cup. And the last 20 minutes of today's PTI and my day is complete. It's bedtime.

Tuesday is Leg Day

With Udall soccer fields closed for the next two months, we had to relocate our training sessions to Townsend Middle school. That combined with the fact the the U-18s are done, means that my Tuesday is done at 8:00p and I have enough time to make it to the gym to workout.

Back on schedule (somewhat). Which means that Tuesday is leg day. I think I skipped legs last week which is a guarantee that if I work legs with anything more than mild intensity, I will be sore for the next 2 - 3 days. Can't let that stop me though. My legs are due for a intense session.

Workout:
Squat 2 x 10 @ 135 lbs, 2 x 8 @ 185 lbs, 1 x 8 @ 205 lbs
Cleans 5 x 5 @ 135 lbs
V-Squats 3 x 8 @ 90 lbs
LegPress 4 x 8 @ 200 lbs

A post workout snack of Tuna + wheat crackers and a couple of scoops of Nitrean mixed with a cup of apple juice and 2 cups water. Time for bed.
