I can’t lie, I am pretty upset about my Great Danes
diagnosis with cancer. Especially since I
have watched several family members die of the disease. However, both Kelly and I felt guilty about
our pity party yesterday and we hit the gym hard. She hit the cardio, I hit the weights.
The past couple of weight lifting sessions I have been concentrating
on the large muscles in my back. Conventional wisdom is that by focusing on the
large muscles, those in your back and legs, you will burn more calories and
lose more body fat.
What I devised was hitting the machines in order, that
is, lower back, mid back, upper back. My
routine splits up the back exercises since I am lifting heavy they have a tendency
of burning out my biceps and triceps before I get a chance to burn out my
lats.
My high point of the whole work out was when I had time
left over to work on my legs. I was
going to go for 600lbs on the free weight seated leg press but it was taken by
a group of three people, two guys and one girl,
who were alternating turns pressing as much as 240lbs. I had to use the machines.
The machine that I used maxed out at 410lbs with that in
mind if you do the math I moved a combined leg press and calf raise
24,600lbs. I like to write it like that
since it makes it seem more impressive.
