Lift With Us Day 12

Today was just a back workout.  We both had work in the morning and decided we should make it a short workout.  It was the same lifts we did last time, but in slightly different order. 

Of course we started with the deadlift.  My legs were dead and my drive was weak today.  My form looks the same as last time, but one tip that was helpful from a friend was taking in big air just before you go up.  That actually helped quite a bit.

2 Warm Up
3 Sets (4-8) reps

Jeff ( 225, 275,315)
Mike(135,185)

Second lift was the Wide grip pulldown. 

4 Sets 8-10 reps

Jeff (120,135,150,165)
Mike(120,135,150,165)

Our third lift is the Single Arm Row.  You can either do this on a bench or by the weight rack.  Remember to do both arms and not just one.  In the video you'll notice that I'm kind of jerking the weight.  It's kind of a sign that it's a little too heavy for me.  I believe it should be a slower smoother motion.

3 Sets 8-10 reps

Jeff (55,70,70)


So that was our short workout for the day. Tomorrow will be a rest day.  Most of my body parts are killing me right now, so I might have to take 2 rest days.  Let's take a look at what I ate today.


32 Ounce Ribeye Steak and Sweet Potato
BBQ Chicken and Broccoli
Beef is a great source of protein, but it contains a huge amount of fat so it's not necessarily ideal.  It will get you big if you eat a lot of it though.  Sweet potatoes are actually one of the best carbohydrates you can eat.  It's up there with brown rice and I think it tastes much better.  Chicken is an ideal protein because its lean and broccoli is pretty good for you too.  The video is short and boring, but watch it anyways...
