mon. 26/3/7

207 lbs. Apparently i've gained 6 lbs. since yesterday. The trick is eating at Furr's. Saw some broads in there that must'a been packin' on 5 lbs./day. That's hardcore bodybuilding, that is.

Decline Crunches:

30
30
30 with a 5 lbs ball
30 with 5

i like these. Hadn't done 'em in a while.

Hanging Straight-Leg Raises:

3 sets of 15 c. no weight added

These were hard after the crunches.

Russian Twists:

12 x 25
10 x 35
10 x 35
10 x 35

Cable Axe Chops:

15 x "90"
15 x "100"
15 x "100"

i really like these. Form is the hard part, but you can really dig deep and make these hurt in full contraction and right where you want it to.

Decent ab workout after a few weeks of laying off. Today the Boomers were workin' it to (seriously) like sitcom theme songs and motown hits. Took me a while to find my angry place. They exited and i made the woofers hurt to some Tiesto. Things got better then. Weird how music can screw with yer workout. i wanna get to where i can do some artistic, very long ab workouts. They're so complex, it's hard to work through all the planes of motion in one session with any contiguous muscle strands left intact. i felt pretty good about the whole thing being nearly debilitated by the squats on sat. i really could'a' used a walker yesterday.

what is a cable ax chop?

i use a rope on an overhead cable machine and hold, well, like an axe over me shoulder, stand kinda sidewaysish to the line of pull and, then twist with the weight and crunch down. If you play with yer line of pull you can almost isolate the internal oblique.

And yeah, i might'a had some gravy on my chicken fried. Very good for the spiritual health, that gravy.
