Day 2: Chest (2/26)

Felt pretty pumped for this one. Woke up feeling motivated, with plenty of rest. Loving life right now, besides for the annoying cough and stuffy nose.

Workout
Dumbbell Chest Press: Warm Up (2 sets) - 20lbs @ 12 reps
Dumbbell Chest Press: 5 sets - 40 lbs for 2 sets 30lbs rest - Started at 10. Finished at 7/8 reps @ failure.
Incline Chest Press: 5 sets - 30lbs for all sets. - Started at 10. Finished at 6/7 reps @ failure.
Hammer Strength Chest Machine: 3 sets - 25 plates - 10 reps. Struggled on left side.
Chest Flies: 3 sets - 80 lbs, 70 lbs, 60 lbs. 10 reps. Focused on feeling the burn.
Tricep Pulldowns: 4 sets - (the weight was blurred, but it was the 3rd weight) - 10 reps. Definitely felt the burn.

Very satisfied with the workout. Was pretty intense, ended up sweating which is really difficult since I've always been a 'hard-sweater'. I don't sweat much, but definitely did today. Meal plan: Protein shake in the morning, spaghetti, Oatmeal (Coaches Oats), N.O XPLODE, Postworkout shake, rice with tilapia fillets, peanut butter with a slice of bread (2 of these), Pad Thai (chicken, shrimp, and veggies), and Pho (homemade with extra beef), and probably a protein shake with milk.

On a side note, I'm sick of food but I'm gonna keep stuffing cause now I'm allowed to have a bit of seasoning. Can't wait for next workout. 9 hours of sleep tonight is the goal. Hopefully a work out tomorrow as well.

Day 1: Back (2/24)

So I never knew I had a blogspot account from more than a year ago, or why it's called aquafinatran, but probably had something to do with my fitness. I'm only using this blog as a way for me to record my workouts, progress, and routines.

Day 1: Back
Warm Up
2 sets of Pull-Ups - used assistance machine. 60 lbs. use a higher weight next time.

Workout
3 sets of Pull-Ups - 60 lbs and moved onto 90lbs by the last set. Use higher on warm up.
5 sets of Deadlifts - Not sure on weight, cause I messed up my forearms on the warm-up. Stupid me. Thinking at least 25 plates.
X sets of Pulldowns - 80lbs but could do more.
X sets of Rows - 35 lbs, but could do more.

Overall, the workout didn't go the way I planned. Didn't plan for a tensed up forearm that wouldn't even let me lift a 20 lb dumbbell. Oh well, still woke up sore the next day. Those deadlifts work wonders on my back.

As for my eating that day, took a protein shake in the morning with water, had a turkey sandwich with lettuce, and cheese. At lunch I had school-style chicken tenders. Went home after school, took a serving of N.O.XPLODE preworkout, and a protein shake after. Not sure what I had for dinner, but it was something with rice.

Edit: Beginning measurements - 12.5 R, 12 L, 149 lbs
