March 05, 2011 - Extra Workout

First off, I want to congratulate my friend, Mike Jenkins, on his second place finish at the Arnold Strongman Classic. A lot of people didn't think he deserved to go there and well, I think he shut them all up today.

Comments: Pretty much over my cold, so this is probably the fastest I've recovered from one. Slept in late and just kept my eyes glued to the internet, hitting refresh to see if there were more updates on the Arnold. I went to the Y to workout between the break in the action. Leg curls were pretty good, going to up the band tension and drop the reps down next time. Still trucking along on hip extensions. I made a big jump on abductions and I will be staying at this weight for next time. Belt squats are getting better and better. Ankle weight leg curls started out explosive and easy but I ran out of steam and had to take a break with about 70 reps to go. Going to be at this weight until I can do several workouts with this weight without taking a break in a row. Went home and did my upper body band stuff. No breaks. Going to up the band tension. I'm hoping to get back to event training this coming week and if that works out, I will be doing just two extra workouts a week instead of three.
