Workout Results - Day 4
Today while running up the stairs I misjudged a step and had to kind of hop to regain my balance and I did something to my knee and kind of tweaked it just a bit. It seemed fine after a few minutes, but later on at night before I was going to get on the treadmill it started to feel kinda iffy. When I put weight on it I could feel it hurt in a weird way.
For a moment I thought about skipping my run on the treadmill today, but then I quickly squashed that thought out of existence. I made a commitment to myself and I’m going to stick with it. I did want to be smart about it though, as there is no point getting an injury just four days into my exercise plan.
So I got changed into my workout clothes and I really stretched out my knees and just warmed them up with some stretches we’ve done in my martial arts training. Within a few minutes my knee was feeling much better. I decided to take it easy anyways and just start the treadmill slow and gradually increase the pace after my workout. Halfway through the run though I felt that there was no problem and my knee was fine.
Crap, I forgot to stretch it out after my workout so I’m going to do that right now.
Ok, done. Definitely feels better.
The rest of my workout went fine.
Bench Press:
First Set: 100lbs x 8 reps
Second Set: 100lbs x 8 reps
Third Set: 100lbs x 12 reps
Bicep Curls:
First Set: 40lbs x 10 reps
Second Set: 40lbs x 8 reps
Third Set: 40lbs x 12 reps
Tricep Reverse Curls:
First Set: 20lbs x 8 reps
Second Set: 20lbs x 8 reps
Third Set: 20lbs x 12 reps
My bench press felt really good on the last set of 12. I could really feel the burn. 100lbs is not a big weight for me, but I’m just getting back into weight lifting so I want to take it easy to start. I’m in no rush.
nO more mr. fat guy good stuff..haha
