Lift With Us Day 10

Today was a legs day, but Mike did shoulders with Wise so there will be no video.  Although I did mess up my leg workout pretty badly.  Someone was using the squat rack so I did Leg Press first which was a pretty huge mistake.  My legs were pretty beat and the squats felt terrible.  Even on the warm up sets I struggled.  I did do a lot of sets on leg press though, but I felt today's workout was just bad in general.  Since my legs were beat so early I decided to work on my deadlift.  I wanted to find out my max weight.  One tip that helped me a lot and possibly kept my back straighter was taking in a ton of air right before lifting.  I wasn't sure because no one was watching me, but it felt good.  I did 2 reps of 365 which is the most weight I've ever done.  It's still not my 1 rep max, but it is my new personal best. 


Mike's diet

7 am: Greek Yogurt and Yogurt smoothie
12 pm : Tuscan Chicken sandwich and a Rockstar
7pm : White rice, 3 eggs and a banana
11pm : Cytogainer protein shake 2 scoops
1 am: Won Ton Noodle Soup

Wow a day without something horrific.  This is actually a pretty good day.  With the exception of the rockstar, which is loaded with sugar, I am fairly impressed.  A good idea would be to throw in a meal between 7 am and noon and a meal between noon and 7 pm.  Most people don't have time for that, but it is ideal.  Especially since Mike is trying to bulk up a little.  Kudos to him for a decent nutritional day!
