Man I suck with updates. Here's how Strength Training went:
3x5 Squats 145lbs
2x5 Shoulder Presses 95lbs
-2x5 Shoulder Presses 85lbs
2x3 Pull-ups
15 NS crunches
The shoulder presses were murder. I couldn't do a complete set of the new weight because my triceps just aren't strong enough. I tried doing the pull-ups but they were shot from the presses. I took a break, went back (after my crunches) and did two more sets at last weeks weight. Those were a lot easier but now my triceps are feeling it. It's a good thing.
I found out I've been doing squats wrong and i could damage my ACL. For those of you who don't know, it's a ligament that connects the femur with the fibula (upper and lower leg bones) so damaging it is bad. I'm glad someone let me know. I'm going to be sure I fix my technique today.
As for the running session, man jogging for three minutes is a bitch. I think I need to really clean up my diet. I've been eating some crap lately and my body is feeling it. That being said, no diet can make me deny Geoff's Superlative Sandwiches. Holy fuck are they good. Actually, assuming they're using fresh ingredients like I think they are, they're a pretty healthy place to eat. They make their bread on the spot and man do they know how to make a sandwich.
So weekly weigh-in! Not as exciting as the last few weeks but meh:
Weight: 223lbs
Net change since last weigh-in: +1lbs
Overall net change: -5lbs
BMI: 29.4
Net change since last weigh-in: +0.1
Overall net change: -.7
Body fat: 21.2
Net change since last weigh-in: -1.1%
Overall net change: -4.6%
Now the weight gain is because of two things: one, lat week's less than stellar diet and two, weight lifting. Because of my not-so-good eating an weight lifting, I gained more muscle than I lost fat. I'm guessing this will happen a few times, but I'd really like to meet my weight goals. The moral of the story here is: I need to eat better.
