why stiff legged?

Meh. Its a precursor for PL style squats along with heavy good mornings. Maybe correlated?

Did first HIIT session, only 10 minutes. (3 minute warmup, 30 second sprint/30 second recover x 4, 3 minute cooldown)

Really wasted myself on the first sprint and was just sucking air after the fourth one. The plan is to do 5 sprint/recover periods next time and then 6 et cetera.

Food yesterday was 2076 calories with a 40/37/23 fat/carb/protein breakdown. (117g protein) But boy were those chips, bacon double cheeseburger, pizza and cookies tasty.

Second HIIT session, 11 minutes. Did a lot better by not killing myself in the first 30 seconds when it all seems so easy.

Ate too much yesterday, (~2900 calories), going to be a lot harder to do that today when I get up at 1:30pm.

Comment: Felt bad after first set, when I picked up the weights for the second set my left hand was hurting and I felt sick so I just packed it in.

[Scary_Tiger]

Didn't HIIT yesterday but played some tennis today so didn't feel too bad about it. Cinco de Mayo nutrition is um not so good.

Bench Press

1x6x95
1x4x95
1x3x95

Comment: What a crappy way to start a workout, I blame tennis right before with no food in between.

1x10x90
1x8x90

Comment: Much better. Guess I have to do more weight.

1x8x55
1x6x55
1x2x55

Comment: Got distracted by goofballs in rack next to me. Thought the right plate was slipping but it looked fine when I put it down. Oh well.

Deadlifts

2x8x115

Comment: Someone asked how many more sets I had, and I had 2 but I said 1 and didn't want to be like uh actually. Going to try 135 next time, which will be convenient since that's usually all set up before I get there.

hey scary,

question about your lunges cuz they seem way out of proportion to the rest of your lifts...you are holding a 90lb dumbbell in each hand and doing 12 forward lunges for each leg?

[Rootabager]

prob 2 45's for sure. Which is still pretty good. Nice workouts keep it up.

2 45's to be sure. I asked in Thremp's thread if it was standard just to use the 1 dumbbell weight, so I'll change that in future updates.

And no I alternate, so a 1x12 is 6 on the left leg and 6 on the right leg, left/right/left/right/...

Edit: So how many sets/reps should I be doing lunging do people think? I don't think I could manage sets longer than say 16 repetitions. (which is 8 each leg)

Ive read recomondations against drinking protein shakes. I think it was in Natural mind Natural Health by Weil but not sure.
