Entry #124
Squat day. Turns out I counted wrong last time: my squats were at 245
lbs, not 255. So today I raised the weight to 255 lbs. Didn't feel any
different.


Squats: 5 sets; 12, 10, 5, 5, 5 reps (135 lbs for warm-up sets, 255 lbs for last three sets)


Leg press: 4 sets; 10, 8, 8, 8 reps (300 lbs warm-up, 600 lbs last three sets)


Horizontal wide-stance leg press (smith machine was taken, couldn't
do squats on it): 2 sets; 8 reps (400 lbs -- the highest the machine
could go)


Leg extensions: 4 sets; 8 reps (180 lbs)


Leg curls: 4 sets; 8 reps (120 lbs)


In between sets I used the speed-bag. I find it helps loosens up
muscles and helps with lactic acid build-up. Hmm, that was
my excuse for practicing nunchaku, too. Hey, it's a valid
reason. I'm getting much much faster with the speed bag also,
for what it's worth (nothing). Seriously, a few weeks ago I couldn't do
more than a few hits with it; now I'm pounding it like Rocky. No wonder
Em called it "boxing mastUrbation" [edited].Ended with a short speed bag session.


Home: flexibility stretches, light kicking drills, and three rounds of shadow boxing.

  1. Speed bags are also nifty to practice headkicks on.

  6. Also, my misspelling of cassante was a misspelling of the word "Caseinate" anyway...I was a few letters off =P

  7. Mastarrbation is linked to sex, which is the fighter's worst enemy.
    Besides, I was one letter off. Let's call it even.

  8. Umm...sex isn't a fighter's worst enemy. Sex can be very valuable in training if used appropriately.

  9. It's my worst enemy, at least
    This I gotta hear. How is it valuable?
