check your breathing during your sets.

Normal breathing would be "inhale before you start to lower it, and breathe out at the bottom as you press up"

power breathing would be "inhale when you pick the bar up, and then a bit more before you start to lower it, and then hold it until you finish the rep.

"power" breathing can increase the pressure in your head aka broken blood vessels in your eyes, bloody noses and headaches.

Cool, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

Went to the gym later..

15 minutes elliptical + 5 minute cool down

~249.7 cals burned

Felt like hittin the tris a little so I did:

Hammer Strength Seated Dips

90x10x1
140x12x1
160x8x2

Felt a sick pump in my inner tricep head. It doesn't get hit much so that made me happy.

danman77220 · 05-09-2007, 10:00 PM

Alright, I was gonna do deads today, but my lower back started to ache during my warmup set... didnt feel right. So I just did an upper back workout instead.

danman77220 · 05-11-2007, 05:15 AM

Couldn't go to the gym, but I had an urge to workout I couldn't get rid of. Plus, my back has been irritating me. So I did a bunch of calisthenics to burn some cals and recoup the back.

ATG Bodyweight Squats x50

BW Lunges x20

Burpees x10 w/ a few pushups mixed in
Burpees x10

Step ups (about 15", not much) x150

Jack knives x10, last rep held for 45 seconds
-back started feeling funny
Jack knives x1 for 60 seconds, contracted extra hard (pain.)

Lunges w/ huge footstool (light, but bulky, for balance) x20

Speed burpees x20

ATG BW Squats x20

I had to do something, so this was the best I could do. I focused more lower body, I'm doing shoulders/arms tomorrow in place of legs. My lower back isn't quite 100%.
