Sunday, January 6th: Ski Day Today I had to patrol up at the ski hill, so I was stuck up there all day. On days that I don't have to work I just go up in the morning and ski for a few hours. Last night we got about a foot of fresh power, so I was skiing that for almost 7 hours straight. It snowed throughout the day as well, so it was fucking awesome. I was thinking about doing leg day today anyway, but my legs are done and that's a better leg workout than I could have gotten in the weight room anyway. The only bad thing was that I was in a rush to get up there and didn't bring any food or protein powder. I had a cheeseburger up there and ate it on the lift, but that's all I had to eat all day. I also didn't drink any water all day because the snow was so good ![]() |

I went lighter on squats than I usually do because the supersetting with leg extensions hammered my quads. After the drop sets my quads were so pumped that I had a hard time getting in position to do leg curls. |

Sunday, January 20th: Bench & Calves SKIING Today I went skiing for about three hours. Visibility wasn't very good, but the snow was and I hit it hard while I was there. My lifting was done a few hours later. JUMP ROPE 150 skips BENCH 45x12 95x8 135x8 135x8 185x1 225x1 185x37 (couldn't quite lock out on 38th rep) *I was doing 185 for a contest put on by Applied Nutriceuticals for most reps in a minute, and my camera didn't record ![]() SEATED CALF RAISE - SMITH MACHINE 176x20 226x18 246x18 266x20 286x20 306x20 286x20 266x24 246x20 226x20 176x20 FACE DOWN SINGLE LEG CALF RAISE ON VERT. LEG PRESS Weight & Reps are per leg 95x12 95x15 115x15 125x15 125x15 BENCH 185x1 225x1 185x34 *I had planned on doing legs today, but at the last minute I decided to make my bench video since I went skiing. I was all kinds of pissed off that my camera didn't record my first attempt, but since the deadline isn't until the 30th and you are allowed to make more than one entry I decided to give it another shot at the end of my calf workout. I didn't expect to get as many as the first time, but I wanted to have something to put up for today. At least I have an idea of where I'm at now. |
