What did you do to improve today?
« on: May 24, 2008, 04:48:51 PM »
I upped my cardio by one half hour, added soke leg exercises today.

After starting nutrition and limited exercise 11 days ago...I am already starting to feel my waist tighten!

How about you?

Yes...but that is an awesome feeling...one that I'd like to revisit eventually.

prepare to laugh.

standing calve raise machine. Put on 50lbs and do 30reps full ROM down and up squeeze for a half second at the top. Immediately followed by 30 reps on a block or the machine with no weight full ROM quick squeeze at top. Then 30reps standing on teh floor with no weight and a squeeze at the top.

Repeat this 3 times immediately after each other withh full ROM. iereally stretch at bottom. You will be fucked. Any takers?

so 270 reps straight after each other

Goudy...believe me...there will be all kinds of power men here chiming in how that is a pussy weight and all that shite....but I bet most would not be able to do that.

Work your tibialis anterior muscles (on the front of shim) by putting your heels on the edge of a stair step...lift your toes up as high as possible(while stabilizing upper body/balance so you don't fall)...hold for a count of 5....point toes as far down as possible.

Most would be toast after three sets.

I used low-fat light mayo instead of the real stuff. Does that count?

The tib anterior movement?

I'd say almost NOBODY does it...I think I learned it from Chris Dickerson many many years ago...same year he won the Olympia....it hurts like you are on fire...I confess I'd avoid doing 'em most of the time!
