Leg Press, Clean & Jerk

27 Apr 13 (Sat)

     Warmup

     300m Row

     3 Rounds

     20 Leg Press        (80lb)

     20 Clean & Jerk   (45lb)

     Cooldown

     300m Row

  Good sweat today.

  A little concerned about crunching inside the knees as the leg press weights get more. The foot-platform on the leg press stand doesn't allow the feet to rest far enough away from the body to allow knees to not travel forward of the heels. Meaning that the shins cannot really remain perpendicular to the feet. Causes knee-grinding.    :(    Will experiment.

  Also, leg presses don't seem to exercise the glutes as well as real squats. Hmmm... 

Row, Pullup, Dip

25 Apr 13 (Fri)

     5 Rounds

     500m Row

     10      Pullups   (assisted -140lb, 150, 160, 160, 160)

     10      Dips        (assisted -140lb, 150, 160, 160, 160)

     ***  Total Row = 2500m, Total Time = ~25min?

  More intensity today. Decent sweat.

  I believe that I'm losing some fat, if not weight. Shall see if there's a tipping point between muscle gain and fat loss at which the weight starts to melt off. Probably not, but I'd like to see some kind of concrete, bodily improvement for motivation over & above better fitness performances.    :/
