Today I continue my discussion of my goals for the next 365 days. Publish a paper book on fitness Most likely I will sell the book from my Get Back to Lifting companion site. Members will get a large discount on the book. Non-members will pay full price. I have not yet decided upon a price for this book. Look for this to happen late in the year in 2009. |

Today was another great workout. I am totally in love with H.I.T. I changed up my form on my Thigh Extensions and still managed to hit 210 lbs. and 12 repetitions. I got aggressive and raised my standing calf raises to 800 lbs. and still managed to hit 14 repetitions. I have to say that it was pretty ominous putting 800 lbs. on the sled and pushing it with just my calves. I upped my squat to 235 lbs. and managed 8 repetitions. I was a little disappointed in that effort, so off to the Quad Blaster to fix that issue! I grabbed the 55 lbs. dumbbell and cranked out 15 repetitions. My heart was pounding and my entire body was shaking. Next I hit my pullovers. I've been stressing with this exercise because it hurts my left tricep. I focused on being perfect with the form. Not only did the pain go away but I managed 4 more repetitions. Isn't it interesting how when you do something correctly it just gets better? The rest of the workout was just as good. The highlight for me was my deadlifts. I've been upping the weight in 5 and 10 lb. increments, but today I decided to go for 15 lbs. I put 300 lbs. on the bar and managed to pull 7 repetitions. It felt awesome lifting 300 lbs. off the ground. |
