Session 2 - Breaking InHad my second session last night, and one thing's for sure - I'm way out of shape.
Yesterday's session focused on lower body workouts and this morning when I woke up my whole groin area and back hurts like hell. Argh...!! I can't even get into my car without grimacing in pain. But I guess pain is part of the process huh?
After warming up, we started off with squats. Completed first set of eight reps with 17kg. Proceeded next three sets with 27kg. Apparently, squats are the easiest to progress so my PT will be adding more weights to my squats next time around. Erk...
Bar - Squats: 1 set of 17kg, 3 sets of 27kgMy hamstring started acting up. My thighs were feeling painful. But this time, I didn't feel dizzy or the sort. We then proceeded to doing deadlifts. After 3 reps of 27kg's, my back couldn't take it any more, so we stopped there.
Bar - Deadlift: 3 reps of 27kgTook a short rest and started working out on everyone's favorite muscle group - the abs. Started off with some leg rolls. Needless to say, I didn't do very well...
Leg roll: 4 repsMy legs were aching. My back was numb. My body was torn. I just had to do a couple of isolated crunches before I could call it a day...
Isolated Crunch: 5 repsWhat a day. The only thing I managed to finish were the squats. Argh... Sad sad sad...
Uhmm... what's a leg roll? You mean leg curls for the hamstrings? And i hope you got your pre and post workout nutrition dialed in or else you won't be able to lift properly and break plateaus.
