My Diary

Lower Body II, Protocol 1.1 - 4/25/10

A Deadlift - 115, 135, 235, 160, 105
B Single Leg Hip Extension from Bench - 60, 70, 4@120, 80, 60 (Subbed Leg Curl)
C Static Lunge - 105, 125, 210, 150, 110 (subbed Quad Ext)
D Hanging Leg Raise - 6, 12, 9, 6
E Romanian Deadlift - 80, 155, 110, 80
F Woodchoppers - Plate 6, Plate 12, Plate 9, Plate 6
G Standing Calf Raise - 45, 85, 65, 45

Overall - Didn't get the power cage but thankfully it was due to someone actually squatting, so I can totally see that. So that means it took me freakin' FOREVER to jockey around the plates for A. (I did get 6 reps, but I don't think it counts due to the much longer rest in the interim.) The rest is pretty much the same. Getting in late, I followed Protocol 1.1 and was able to make it to work 10 minutes late, but having gotten all the exercises done.

Note: Protocol 1.1 is my (Alan-approved) shorter workout, which basically eliminates the last set of 12 reps from each exercise.

If you ever need to talk, you will find me here.

Long time no see Sadie. I'm doing just fine here - nothing really's changed since we last talked so I'm considering that a good thing. Hopefully you're doing well yourself.
 
Hi,
Yea I have been very busy doing nothing.
You have lost a lot of weight in face, what are the stats? though I guess weight is just a number for you now as you must have toned a lot and most importantly you have gained the muscle mass.Send a work out fairy my way too.
:)
Sadie
 
Hey Stingo, good to see you still here and still improving as far as I can tell. I'm sure your DL was never as high as 5x235 before
