Sunday night I had my first cheat meal in 35 days. Big mistake! It caused systemic inflammation which negatively affected my degenerative disk disease. My lower back has been killing me ever since. Plus, I had one margarita which caused my right kidney to hurt pretty bad. I was warned by doctors my kidneys were bad 14 years ago so I know better but I’ve been going through a lot of stress and I wanted to relax. Yesterday, I didn’t workout. I was at the hospital all day today with my mom. I just trained legs and the bike when I got home which was much more difficult than training in the morning when I have energy. But, the workout went well. I took 4ius HGH after the bike with my 5mg nebivolol, and I’m staying fasted for a minimum of a half hour before having my protein/oat shake.
LEGS and CALVES:
I did 6 sets of dumbbell squats squatting with back upright 1/3 to 1/2 of the movement down, depending on the foot stance and level of exhaustion, then dead lifting the final portion of the movement and touching the dumbbells to the ground. I did the exact reverse on the way back up. Each set had 8 reps with feet shoulder width apart, followed by wide stance for 4 reps, followed by narrow stance for 4 reps, followed by 10 reps of standing dumbbell calf raises, followed by 2 more reps of deadlift/squats. Then, single leg calf raises without the dumbbells for 6-8 reps, followed by both feet calf raises for 8-10 reps.
After legs I did 20 minutes on the bike. I didn’t take my beta blocker(5mg nebivolol) for 24 hours so I was able to get my heart rate up to 114 instead of only 100.
