Here we go! What a great eating weekend. I had pizza Friday night (one of my planned cheat meals) and it was awesome. I have not had pizza for over 8 months. Whoo hoooo! It was accompanied by heartburn and some rumbling in my gut but overall, it was still so worth it. I ate almost 3000 calories Fri, Sat and Sun. My target was 2650. I went over but I am not worried. I am experimenting with what it takes to gain some weight. Friday I weighted 170.2. This morning I was at 172.2. I plan to stick to the 2650 number for the rest of this week and see what happens. I hope to be at 172 something this Friday when I weigh in.
I worked legs hard on Saturday. I am still sore since I had taken two weeks off prior to this workout. It was a good session. I didn’t go for max weight because I wanted to take it easy on my recovering back. I squatted a total of 5625 pounds. Not all at once of course, it took 55 reps to get it done.
I found out that I have a lot of mobility issues with my chest, arms and shoulders. Because of all the tension, my arms continue to go numb when I do back squats. I can’t get my elbows high enough to do proper form front squats or power cleans either. This week I plan to look for mobility drills to help with upper body mobility. Apparently, years of bad posture will cause these types problems. With this in mind I have been very conscious of my posture over the past few weeks. I try to walk as if someone has a string in the center of my head and is pulling it upwards all the time. Then when doing that, I focus on keeping my shoulders back and down which forces the chest up and out. It’s going to take a while to retrain myself on good posture. It’s so easy to fall back on what you are used to.
I hope everyone has a great week which is full of accomplishments.
