Renovating the temple of the Holy Spirit

[HardCory]

I have to get creative this week with workout because I'm covering the early shift at work. Today was leg day, all sets were done w/ 30 sec rest.

Leg Extensions: 210X10, 195X12, 180X12, 165X15, 135X20

Extremely exhausting workout, had to keep telling myself I wasn't going to quit. I believe I finished around 45 minutes, I've been noticing separation in my legs that I've never had before, so a workout like this should help that as well. We'll have to see how creative I can get tomorrow.

All I can say is I'm glad this week is finally over at work, one of those weeks that you just want to put behind you, couldn't have come at a worse time with midterms this week, and being too exhausted to study. My calves were burning light no other today, found myself walking around with some impressive veins. Gotta start studying for my math midterm, I strongly dislike math, can't wait to get over this hump in my education.

Had to make good use of my time this morning, spent about an hour in the gym before I had to run off to the college to take a midterm. Glad this week is over and I can finally got back to my normal training regimen. Good overall workout today, ready for next week.

[HardCory]

Nothing going on today, this week has really been taxing on me, wanted to use today to reset myself physically and mentally. Gonna switch some things up in my routine in the next week see how it works out. This goes for cardio as well, so we'll we what I can't cook up.

Tricep Pushdowns: 130X6, 150X6, 155X6

1-Arm Overhead DB Extensions: 20X6, 30X6, 35X6

Switched things up a bit with my routine for a couple reasons.
1. I don't believe my hamstrings and glutes are getting worked to their potential. I usually train them w/ quads and by time I get to them the motivation isn't there. So I've moved them to their own day so they can receive my undivided attention.
2. I want bigger arms, plain and simple, you know the old saying, you want bigger arms then squat. Now I can blast my legs and hit my upper body as well. This also allowed me to stretch my quads out between arm sets hopefully decreasing the DOMS tomorrow.

This is a test trial, I like it so far I'm really motivated about hitting hamstrings this week, so we'll see how it goes.
