HAMSTRINGS
I thought this would be a good workout and not too taxing! How wrong could I be. This was a crazy hard workout, I started on the lying leg curl with 12/10/8/(8 strip), the reps were real strict and I worked between 25 and 35 kg. Jon was around and pushed me through the workout. Next was seated leg curl but this time it was 3 sets of 15 reps and Jon made me pause just slightly at the end of each contraction. Stiff legged deadlifts were next and I stood on the step so that I could get more of a stretch into my hamstrings. It was 3 sets of 15 reps and I increased my weight from 2 weeks before to 35 kg. My legs were like jelly, I stumbled over to the standing calf machine and did 3 sets of 15 reps with 3 plates. Now, my calves are looking better, the left calf needs more work but I was pleased tonight with how they are coming on. The work every day on my calves is starting to pay-off, now I have a long way to go I know, but it’s nice to see them slowly coming on. I went on into The Studio half hour later to teach my regular PUMP class and that was great, and then back into the gym for half hour incline treadmill.
I am tired now an need to rest, tomorrow is arms and I am sooooooo looking forward to it. I’ll catch up at the weekend to let you know how the pre-contest diet is going, I am still here, so that’s a start!!!!
