Arms 5/15/2025
It was another day of arms and it was a good one. The workout follows:
- Rope pushdonws: 3 sets to failure+.
- True machine tricept: 2 sets to failure+. This is arms resting on a precher bench, then pushing out .. different but effective.
- EZ bar Cable pushdown: 3 sets to failure+. I did a drop set for the last set.
- True Prechaer Curls: 3 sets to failure+. Wow, this felt great.
- Incline bench curls: 2 sets to failure+.
- Seated curl: 2 sets to failure+. This cable movement is differeent. Your arms rest of a padded attachment so they are stright out from the body... the cable is in front of you and you curl it. Not bad.
- Pulldown cable for bicepts: 1 set to failure+.
- Sled HIIT / Sprints: 10 minutes / 8 reps.
- Elliptical 13 minutes.
I mentioned in my instargram story today that my goal is not the pump .. and it really isn't. The goal is to stimulate as many muscle fibers as possible, keep my form solid, and not get hurt. I stil think one of the most important factors in adding muscle is progression in the gym but the focus is not just about lifting more weight. I want to see porgress but since I am not recording weights I have to think more about progress in lots of different ways. Weight, increases in muscle size, etc. I try to add weight but it's just not a focus right now.
My food intake yesterday:
- Pre-workout I had a servings of yogurt with a scoop of protein. Post workout I added a second serving of yogurt, no added protein.
- Meal 1 was 6 oz of salmmon, 0.7 oz of bison liver, 0.6 oz of oysters and 4 eggs.
- Meal 2 was 10 oz of grond bison/beef mix, 4 eggs and a slice of cheese.
- Meal 3 was 10 oz of grond bison/beef mix, 4 eggs and a slice of cheese.
- About 3 hours before going to bed I had a serviing of yogurt and a scoop of protien.
My weight this morning was 185.1 pounds. Total steps yesterday was 19,694.
